- This is the one. This is the Mustang we've all been waiting for since Mustangs dominated Trans Am Racing 50 years ago. The 2016 Ford Shelby GT350R. The 5.2L 'Voodoo' V8 is the best sounding American engine ever, the chassis is balanced and playful, fun as hell, and most importantly, very, very fast. Put simply, this is the best Mustang ever made.

I think the GT350R is legit one of the only cars I could buy and be content with not modifying. It's perfect in every way imo.
exactly what i was thinking
Remember when all /Drive videos used to be free? Pepperidge Farm remembers.
lol
+DC Garage Remember when /Drive+ actually released videos even with people paying the monthly subscription? Drive+ hasn't had a new video since November 2015.....
As I understand it, it'll be free again right for all Drive videos right? Since TIME bought them.
*****
According to recent podcast Matt tried to float the idea to drop Drive+ 's pay wall but that idea wasn't taken seriously. Supposedly we are getting a bunch of Drive free videos coming but I do NOT expect them to be of the same high quality as we are use to with TH-cam paying for them as they know serious indepth car video production is just a loss of money
***** So not like before unfortunately, those were good times lol. Oh well, I'll happily take what I can get as I'm sure most of you will.
"it sounds like you are being chased by a Civil War" LMAO
I know I'm 4 years late but why did that make sense lol
Yes it does you can hear the canons
Ford is making some amazing cars these days
beyondthelol except for their unreliable commuters lol
beyondthelol yeah.... all of Ford's performance cars have amazing reliability but the commuters aren't nearly as good.
beyondthelol they are, they just need to keep making them and not killing them off
@@bendonahue All the good Ford's are dead in the US other than the Mustang 350 and 500. I'm clinging onto my 2016 Fiesta ST :)
S0lid Jesus literally me as well (‘16 FiST too)
I met a few of the designers at Ford nationals in PA, and you could literally feel in the air how excited and passionate they were about it. They did such an amazing job on this car.
+ThatDudeinBlue Hi David!
+ThatDudeinBlue Ayyyyy
when are we going to see your mustang or 240 on a one take?
Hey David, I'm from South Carolina, just missed you at cars and coffee because my 2014 GT was having boss 302 heads and Cobra Jet cams installed, and we tuned it that morning. If you ever want to review a NA coyote making over 600 crank HP, and every suspension mod possible, it's all yours.
+ThatDudeinBlue Rake likes it!
LOL thank you for covering that bug on the GoPro
lmao
Yeah, springtime in the California canyons means lots of big, wet bugs. The front of my car is covered in bug carcasses. I keep a bottle of spray wax and extra microfiber towels to keep the stuff off the paint.
+Joe Mamma bet that bug doesn't "have the guts" to do that again!!!
Yea that bug has feathers. Lol
The sound of the engine is kind of a mix between a old school muscle v8 and a Ferrari v8 :D
More like a cross between a muscle car and a Lamborghini V10 or V12 with 2 or 4 cylinders lopped off. it's got more of that low rumble.
accurate
because the engine is from a 458
+Davide Leonardi No, it's not.
+RAY NL yes they taked the engine from a 458 and modified it... go check on google
"I plan to buy one and daily drive it" GOD DAMNIT FARRAH LIVING THE DREAM
Last one of the week nice car.
Lmao
+Bolek989 HAHAHA SO FUNNY YOU'RE LAUGHING YOUR ASS OFF GOOD POINT
+Scooby blue Question, is that plastic all over the engine or carbon composite? How will it hold under extreme heat?
I'm glad Ford stuck with a manual considering dual clutch this and that is becoming the norm.
jolmeaki due to technology I believe manual is overrated just my personal opinion
jolmeaki Agreed. It's not cheap to make a DSG that performs and has good street manners. The current transmission is proven and just fun.
TheNYGIANTS221
You probably think being born with testicles is lame too
i LOVE MINE!!! dope video!!!
"I'm convinced you could not replicate this in the aftermarket for the price of this car" THAT. That is exactly what has been keeping the die hards on the fence about the modern muscle cars. Yes they have phenomenal performance, but when you can build something that performs almost the same in a classic body and have it be unique to you, it's just obviously the better choice. Now that we have cars like the GT350 and 6th gen ZL1 that's not so anymore. Now you're getting so much perfomance for your money that you have to start weighing the difference between that classic style and the modern performance and ive got a feeling that modern performance is going to start winning more and more as we keep bringing out amazing cars like these
Evan B 🌈😂 hating. I do not prefer the Pep boys Edition unique car
Or sometimes nobody has the time and or money/ extra time to make said money and then time to drive without it being for a reason. Dude if my build takes 2-3 years to get to this point because paint shops and engine shops don’t always turn around same day LOL, it’s just convenient to have a car you could buy and just pop out and enjoy whenever you can
@@hondaservicecenter that's why I bought s mustang instead of a Toyota 86. I'd rather drive and maintain than make it better myself
as an owner of a pretty decent sounding V8 (ISF) I am in absolutely envy of that beast of a 5.2.
what a weapon!
Matt, being a professional cyclist, and very avid car enthusiast, I must respect you and thank you greatly for your treatment of cyclists on the road. A lot of people fail to realize the amount of pain someone is in climbing a mountain like that, and having a car pass inches a way at an extra 70 mph makes it no easier...so thank you
Gotta respect the cyclists. That climbing shit is really hard.
+Art Vandelay agreed, cyclist need to stay on the mountain bike trails.
+Art Vandelay You guys shouldn't be on the road? Says who, you? The lord of the public road? lol
learn how to pay attention and be considerate when driving and it's not so bad. Is there really any reason to make it any more unsafe for a cyclist?
+Evan Christenson
Run em all over. 300pts each
+SOCAL3800 So you're saying I shouldn't ride my ROAD bike on the road?
Best mustang ever made! My boy just got his all black, red racing stripes, with red black int, the car is a show stopper!!
Contrary to my name I am a Mopar guy and have owned a few chevys in my past and although I am biased towards Dodge this Ford Mustang GT350R is such a respectable car anyone that is truly a car enthusiast will see that. I would really enjoy driving this car some day but since the demand is so high for them now the probability of me getting my hands on one is highly unlikely
+CamaroMatt Florida Your name is CamaroMatt you have a pic of a camaro on your profile but you are a Mopar guy who likes this gt350r... So does that mean you are in or out of the closet? But I can't disagree I do like this car too.for.well you know. a mustang.
Todd Ison Yes my name was made back when I used to own a camaro and changed the picture to symbolize that but now I no longer own that car but a 2016 scat pack challenger... peoples cars change... also yes this car is a very good one and i am saying no matter what company you are more for you can not deny that this is a great car... also in or out of the closet... really? ... how old are you...
Todd Ison || the new camaro looks ok and all but...y'know...its still a camaro...
I typically don't like naturally aspirated engines but that motor is really something special. A high revving, inspiring, and a unique exhaust pitch to match a car that Ford really cares about and put a ton of work into really drives my love for that car.
Really great video Matt! Not like I needed any more convincing that I want a GT350 in my life someday. So, anybody wanna buy a kidney?
LOL and to think he's trying to daily one
+Daniyal S. it seems reasonable besides the fact theirs no back seats. And the fact if you scuff the rims your fucked.
Sell your bullit
my GOD!!! This is the baddest Mustang in 40+ years!! 8200 RPM redline??!! Holy SH*T!!
Bryan McHugh For reals man, this is such a Fucking beauty and this is definitely my dream car as of now....
finally Detroit is coming around to what Europe figured out 40-50 years ago.
@@truantray dont forget about ford beating ferarri in le mans
This would be a great engine for the new Ford GT.
maybe with more low end power. below 4k nobody is home
Kojack if they had used the 5.2 voodoo and tt it easily couldve been a 800+hp monster
GhostlyGhille 1100hp to be exact
It would've been
You mean a further bored out Voodoo, with maybe twin turbos? Yeah, I'd buy that for a dollar, or two.
That exhaust note is freaking menacing. Love it!
Enjoyed spending the day at Sebring running with my pal Ramon and his new GT350. In a group including heavily modified 911 turbos, caymans, and GT3s, the Mustang keeps up and sounds great too. Great handling car and impressive that Ford built this special engine and then sorted out the handling dynamics and all the independent tweaks required to make this such a great sports car. It can compete with the best in the world, and hold its own special place as both a daily driver, and track day machine. And the new GT is coming too?!! Great job Ford engineers!
He said the radius was great and bad in the same video
Thats a lie.
Mr Calcium better in what aspect? He sold his foxbody btw.
He’s allowed to change his opinion on things...
Some of my favorite remarks: "This is the Mustang we all want. Everybody wants it and I want it more than all of them." "This is the greatest car, man, it's so good". "If you're not on board with me by now, I honestly don't think you have a soul." And as of March 2021 the GT350R still is in HUGE demand.
Special it is. Hands down one of the best cars you can possibly buy from a dealer. It would be hard pressed to be able to build one in the aftermarket that replicates what this car can do.
God daaaamn, Matt, that's a fucking Daytona!!!! That's going to be so fucking awesome, can't wait for the video!
Question: is the Mustang some kind of a bigger, more powerful e92 M3, an e92 M3 MKII by Ford if you will :)? I mean, there are quite a lot of similarities between them!
The GT350 engine feels just like the DINAN E92 4.6 Stroker engine and makes similar power
+TheSmokingTire High revving engines are great and high displacement, high revving engines, are the best! Thank you for answers and content!
A buddy of mine has a new 2016 Mustang GT, I had it for a week while he was on vacation.. I have to say it was such pleasure to drive and I was amazed how much power it had and the handling was phenomenal.. poised but comfortable.. I could only imagine how this 350R would be... I am no stranger to Horsepower having a 500HP 300 SRT (Have 3 kids) so I need a sedan. While I love my SRT.. the Mustang was much more engaging.. Kudos to Ford.. for not only making the Mustang Look Great and also have true performance,,, Matt you have the best job ever..
13:25 I didn't know this thing was turbo charged
As a cyclist and an avid Colorado canyon carver, I appreciate how respectful you are to cyclists on the road. Kudos. Also, you said you want to daily one. How does the 373 ratio handle in the city?
i want that car sooooooooo bad.... anything else is a godam waste of money...
that exhaust note is to die for.....
Love this car and I want to get it in my garage but I don't want to pay the crazy dealer markups on this. I wish when Ford advertises a car for a specific price....that it actually sells for that much.
This car and the new ZL1 prove that it's a glorious time in the muscle car world! I'd take one of each!
I would love this in my garage. Too bad dealers will have a huge mark up for this.
I really love that color scheme too. The red borders on the stripes looks really cool.
+AnAngryBlack they have new colors mustang6g.com/forums/showthread.php?p=1198439
I want this car in this spec more than any car on the market currently. That sound is insane.
I love how you go for the shift at 10:00 and realize it’s got more revs
Woah. Totally speechless, great way to end the week though.
+EmeraldGamer HD maybe...
+ARMYTRIX Making this any louder will require bystanders to have seizures, haha.
03-04 Mustang Cobra SVT, my 600 hp special car. would love to have this 350 though.
the sounds this car makes seems like the soundtrack they use for all car movies. just amazing.
I can honesty say the Mustang has always been the car I've dreamed of since I was a kid. To see how the car is evolved but still in touch with it's routes, makes me appreciate the car more. I am definitely going to be a very proud owner of a GT350R!
The GT350R is AMAZING! But has anyone noticed that stunning red queen in the background during the walk around?
YES!!! Daytona
Yep...gorgeous
That's a Superformance 1965 Shelby Daytona Coupe.
Guilherme Sousa
Oh I know what it is. lol. I've been saving that video to watch when I'm in a mood and wanna be cheered up...you know...kind of like one of those kids that can't keep crying when you make them laugh. lol
nezerac been there, done that hahaha
I've driven this. You're right, this car and particularly the engine is very, very special. It's more special than the majority of cars near and exceeding its performance.
"It sounds like you're being chased by the Civil War!" One of the best quotes ever! Ford would do well to add that to its literature that goes with this car!
Got an F-Type R, rwd a couple of years back and have been really happy with it. This car was a very close second mainly due to the manual. Both have GREAT SOUND.
Epic in EVERY way!!! Especially that flat crank V8!! The ultimate American sports car brought to you by Ford: For Our Real Drivers!!! ;)
Still waiting for him to test the 99-2000 cobra R that's my dream car and I'm not a ford guy but damn.
Oh man that Shelby 350r sounds so good. I'm not going to lie to you I'm not really feeling the new body styles but the Shelby's are slowly growing on me
Thank you Matt Farah for reviewing my favorite Mustang of all time! Only makes me want one more. :P
I'm just here for the bug review.
The 2017 350 will come standard with the track pack!
So if you missed out on the 2016 350R (and you likely did) you can get the 350 with all the fun bits soon.
Where did you find this info?
I'm not the one who's so far away, When I feel the snakebite enter my veins.
I've rewatched this video so many times now. Still love the 350r
That sounds fucking amazing.
I loved the covering up of the bug LMAO
The gt350r's v8 sounds like a NASCAR v8
Cameron Merz because of the flat plane crank that v8 makes a lot of noise and vibrations and big power. Such a beast
No it doesn't, NASCAR motors are outdated two valve, cross-plane motors.
@@alwaysdriven NASCAR motors are not flat plane.
That V8 sounds like no other. It sounds amazing.
Gotta be the most beautiful sports car / muscle car coming to the road for 2016. :) You'd be crazy to not want one.
"it sounds like you're being chased by the civil war"
lmao
Matt: when you buy one; please baby it after about 50k hard miles and then watch the value triple over about 5 years.
Edit: I was never much of a stang fan but after your fox body project and now this 350r. ford has won another fan
Jason Chatham @3700 pounds...really?
Joe Tavarez The R because it has such huge potential off the lot. All the tuning shops who work with Mustangs I am sure already have 1000+hp kits just waiting to go, plus you could strip 400 lbs out of the interior and make a kind of 'RS' version.
Jason Chatham I understand the "Potential", but that weight is ridiculous. There are far better cars for this price that have better potential.I don't understand how this car is so heavy with no backseat.
Joe Tavarez true, there are better cars to start w but many come with paddles and are mid/rear engine. Front engine, high revving, NA V8 is its own flavor of driving. It will never act like a 570S and that is exactly why some will go for the stang Instead of the Brit or the german .
3700 pounds really isn't that crazy these days but I understand it's no miata lol
She grips the road nicely....great scenery!
I've watched alot of your vids and this has to be the most excited I've seen
the only problem with this car in the dealer markup.
+elr2141979 just part of the only 500 per year thing. You can find regular 350's at msrp.. just not many with the track package, if any.
+elr2141979 LOL dude that's on every collector car no matter who makes it
Ive seen 2 used ones with no mark up and 2 new ones with no mark up
+DJ JONES it's not even a collector car haha. They're making too many of them for it to be one. The reason why it's marked up is because of demand. You know anything about economics lol?
+WeekEnd133 500 a year is definitely collector territory. currently 37 2015's were built and 227 2016's. as far as all these msrp deals as posted above those are definitely not r's going for msrp.. if they are post up the name and location as I'll buy one today.
man this shelby is incredible! would love too have one!
Really appreciate the emotion you share with us. Good job, you make me want one !!
I love seeing this guy's car reviews!!!
this has to be my new favorite car, i love how they designed the car around the engine and put time into the engine instead of slapping a turbo or a supercharger on like most manufacturers do with their top of the line cars. This car is just special, i would take this car over a Hellcat or a z28 or a z06, or even an m3 or m4.
Lol explain, everything i said was true, the gt350r has its own engine a Hellcat or a z28 just come with a supercharged version of an engine that's pretty common, and the gt350r handles better than any one of those cars and those are Chevy and Dodge's "top of the line" muscle cars
No i haven't driven any of the cars but i didn't describe any kind of experience or anything make-up anything all i said was the facts, the gt350r has it's own engine and no other car has that same engine which makes it special and cool, the z27 and z06 and Hellcat all have engines that are pretty common but have a supercharger slapped on them, idk how many times you want me to say it?
"The seats are a little tight for a guy like me" Ford worked hard to save weight on the new GT350R, and they expect you to lose a little weight as well
+MrForza98 Fuck off pc white knight bitch
+Tradizzl3 Yeah fuck off man Matt is a legend
Nopiw Shut the fuck up random. Don't come on Matt's videos talking shit. You are prolly some 12 year old playing forza wishing you had his life. Show some respect or get the fuck out
+MrForza98 I'm not talking about appearance, I'm talking about physical dimensions you pinhead
+Trellnor uploads videos with an average of 30 views each, calls someone a random 🤔
So, Matt seems seriously and helplessly in love with this Mustang GT350/R, he can't conceal his excitement which speaks volumes. I've found Matt to be super tough in his judgement on American cars, (mostly too tough for my liking) with a bit of a bias (personal taste that is) towards german and japanese hardware as it seems. But now, seeing how Matt is enjoying and praising these Mustangs (even referencing the world beating mighty Viper ACR), they sure must be no less than absolutely phenomenal machines.
love this car!! most badass car ford makes imo!! the sound is so unique, cool vid, get one!!!!!!!
lol at 00:04:24 typical prius drivers... they never fail at being slow, in the way, and lame
+MK7GTI Hey dude I drive a Prius :( and I'm not even that gay
+Nick Piberius Wilde lol
+65elcamino283 XD
+65elcamino283
careful he might owns a Tesla that'll kick your ass
Kalashnikov Cortez yeah, i didn't say "electric vehicle" driver, did I? I said PRIUS driver. Big difference. Look up the term "left lane prius" and you'll see why.... :-)
Thank you so much Matt for incorporating more fly-bys in this video! I cannot wait to hear that in person!
Don't know how many times i've watched this... Fukin love it!
Matt is all about that car, great to see!
"It sounds like you're being chased by the Civil War." I'm so weak.
That was brilliant. I wonder who came up with that.
+DXman099 LOLed
All the Australian Ford and Holden factories are closing down, so no more Falcon or Commodore. Ford decided to import the Mustang, but we won't get anything other than the regular Ecoboost and V8 GT because Ford says the GT350 and GT350R aren't 'right' for Australia. They obviously don't know Australia because they would sell like crazy here. Such a pity.
James Ross what's the cost of a Mustang GT there?
$72000 Drive away with magnaride, in manual. add $4000 for auto due to being on the threshold of Luxury car tax
@@stevemuscat4601 shit fuck, that's fucking expensive, Assuming your money's worth about the same as ours
Just looked it up, nvm, it's not entirely horrible. Still pricey though I guess.
Not right for Australia? That is the stupidest, most insulting response Ford could give. How about we just don’t have the capacity to make some specifically for Australia.
You can tell just by watching the handling and throttle fit so perfect together I want one of these so bad! lol
Wow! Im really starting to like the new mustang. Ford did a good job making it. And this one definitely takes the cake. Just wish I could afford one. Maybe when im 60 and retired. lol
Literally My Dream Car!
The answer to the question, "what would happen if you put two Honda VTEC engines together to make a v8... but then had Ford make it."
+Lt. Roast-a-hoe You spelled Ferrari wrong. Also, Ariel atom V8 essentially has two 4cyls mated together to get a v8.
Ferrari???
+Matt Close I wouldn't go that far haha. This is an amazing engine by Ford standards, but Ferrari is a whole different league.
+Jack Dawson yeah, the ford will probably be reliable, unlike a ferrari
+Jack Dawson The only significant difference between the 5.2 and a Ferrari V-8 is the intake and the firing order.
That's probably the best review of this car you can really hear and understand just how high the rpm are and you didn't look like you didn't like the seat thanks.
nothing like watching a passionate man enjoying a cat he loves.i too feel this way with my 5.0.poetry in motion as my daily driver.Ford got it right.i love you Flatt rock
Am I the only one more interested in that Factory Five Daytone Coupe Replica
+Adrian Acosta No, no you are not.
Those things are gorgeous
That one is made by Superformance. Things awesome though.
R.I.P. bug at 10:50
+HOW TO ANYTHING I'm sure when he did his near redline pull, many bugs got R.I.P.ped to pieces.
wow what a incredible shelby! you're a lucky man too be able too drive such a awesome mustang! congrats!
I love this car. It's a break away from where the performance car industry is going with their powertrains which is forced induction. I hope I can buy one in the future.
One of the best Mustangs if not the best
Such a cool car. My dream garage would be this and the new Raptor. I think I'm going to make the Raptor happen soon, but based on production limitation alone, the 350R seems unlikely. :(
Zach Billings dont worry about it prices will go down as the new 2018 came out ...
The engine sounds amazing love! to have one of these in my collection one day!!!!!
still one of my favorite vids about cars ever
I've driven a GT350, that voodoo engine is absolutely stunning. Absolute gift from above.
"It sounds like you're being chased by the civil war" is an amazing quote lol
What a car and what a view from where u are man! Gj nice video!
at 19 seconds, there it is! love the stang but also LOVE the coupe!
"Sound like you're being chased by the civil war" - haha awesome
Lower Big Tugunga canyon. ..... nice road for a great car. ...
I've may have been one of those bicyclist, something zoomed by...:)
Found this exact car GR016 and now it is mine. Best Mustang I have owned by far. Love the thumbs up I get from all the cops in Atlanta.
Txs for the video.
This car has been my dream car since my childhood :)
if there is one sports car i would ever purchase, would be this car. Mustang has always been the one and only :)
Exciting review and great vehicle. I still think the sixth gen camaro ZL1 would be my preference at about the same price but I'm an admitted GM guy. Thanks for the great one take.
This is the updated BMW E92 M3. This is what BMW should have made the M4. I've never liked ford but they're coming with some good cars that even I can respect as a "hater" with the GT350R and the soon to be released Focus RS
+nE CoBraaa if BMW still had its soul that is, which it lost a long time ago as it seems. seriously, even the m92 m3 doesn't come anywhere close to this GT350. even in its heyday bmw couldn't have possibly come up with a car as brash and balsy as this new Mustang GT350/R.
+Vlad Pootin ok calm down now. The M4 will beat a gt350 on the track and if you wanna talk about the gt350R, then you need to compare it to the M4 GTS that's coming soon. Both are the track versions of each. Last time I checked, the M4 GTS has faster lap time than the GT350R around the Nurburgring which is THE pinnacle of race tracks.
+nE CoBraaa That's because the former Ford CEO Allan Mullaly finally ditched it's many other brands such as Jag, Land Rover, Volvo etc. to focus on the Ford brand itself. It's really, really paying off!
That color is so unique. Love it
Thesmokingtire my father paved lime rock and it is such a beautiful track hope you had fun
