Ford Shelby Mustang GT350R specs

@FastestLaps please merge into the main GT350 page (https://fastestlaps.com/models/ford-shelby-mustang-gt350), there is not enough difference to warrent 2 pages

Honestly I was never really even a fan of either the GT350 or the GT350R. While it was great on the track, it was never anything like the Camaro Z28 or the ZL1 1LE. It had a special flat-plane-crank engine, but that was pretty much the only thing setting this thing apart from the GT Performance Package Level 2. The tires on the PPL2 are on the same level as these ones. Straight-line performance figures are the same. The PPL2 should not be far off from the GT350R on most tracks, and that is literally an SS 1LE and RC F Track competitor we are talking about. There is far more aftermarket support for both the 5.0 Coyote and the 5.2 Predator than there is for the 5.2 Voodoo.

It’s crazy how this car can match and sometimes beat a Ferrari 458 Italia on track, Ford really did wonders with this car

This car did a 23.10 on the MT Figure 8 Circuit. It was in the comparison test with the Camaro ZL1.

@Ricky look at what they've done to the Shelby!🤓

Damn straight it's FAT.

If you want to DESTROY the Rimac Nevera you need a, uhm well a FORD MUSTANG!😈🔥

Very obviously it's re engineered! And don't ask me about technical specifications. I really don't care, LOL!

It's a marvel to behold.

@FastestLaps please remove LaFerrari from competitors list, two completely different classes

I hate to break this to everyone but the 5.2 Voodoo is not a real flat plane engine. While the camshaft is technically "flat" based, the exhaust is manifold is "cross" based. It's more of an in-between engine.

The AMG GT Black and C8 Z06 engines on the other hand are true FPC engines.

Post under review. Will be published by moderator shortly.

Could you add power and torque: 526bhp @ 7500rpm, 429lb-ft @ 4750rpm

the gt350, gt350r and the new 18' stang gt are all underrated. the gt350r puts down 449 whp too 482 whp, the 449 i believe was motortrend or roadntrack while the 482 was done at hennessey's shop and dyno - they wanted to dyno it before they modded it as is the same with every hennessey

haha

526 hp, 430 lb-ft

A LaFerrari doesn't compete with this. Hell, even a 488 will kick this car's ass.

Where's the curb weight?

Wonder if the GT500 will keep the live axle that gave earlier versions such an amazing authentic character.

Still a GT500 with the GT TT 650 bhp V6 and a 150-200bhp electric motor would be awesome. MT when testing the 918 compared the effect of an electric motor to nitrous. The GNX is a V6 more legendary than many V8's.

Power is 526 BHP, torque: 429lb-ft.
Weight: 3650 lb.

Nah the 500 is coming, And with huge power, A 5.0+L Sc V8, No official output number yet, Some say as high as 850bhp, I dont think it will be THAT much, But will have more then the HellCat, And some sources say it may even have a TT V6, But ill be damned if that happens and will go raid Ford myself.

Just assumption. Since in 5th gen they only build GT500 as their top model but no GT350.

....Why would you think they would stop at the 350?

Are they plan to build GT500 again or stop in GT350R as top model

M4 spank a 350R? LOL

Thats because its an amazing car thats getting amazing reviews, Plus its still new and reminiscent of the past of the great muscle era, SO of course its gonna get a mark up, Which new n awesome performance car doesnt, And please tell me how an M4 would spank this in every way?..

I will never know how good is a mustang 350 R as they have a 50k mark up on them 140 plus for a mustang cdn. You can buy a m4 with the competition pkg that would spank the mustang in every witch way.

As a reminder.

Cheers and enjoy ;)

@BR2+ We are talking about street legal car right? I still can't think of any practical mods for the Z28. Without major powertrain and suspension mods, I believe Z28 is as extreme as it is. Yes, you can further lighten the car by moding the interior and lighter chassis component, maybe a carbon fiber driveshaft as well. But hey, GT350 can also do the same, but with much more mods. Anyway, if you want to do track only, GT350 may be the better choice. The track part for Mustang is easier to find than Camaro. Back to tires, I doubt that you try the tires yourself. information on forum can be deceiving. Most people just can't drive to the limit to notice the difference in tires, and don't even talk about slip angle and characteristic of tires. One of my buddy was struggling with his lap time. He ran re71r for the few months and lap time can't improve, so he blamed the tires like most people did and got a new set of cup2. Guess what, he ain't get any faster And their is another friend, who used trofeo r for his c7, ruined it by not knowing how to drive it properly, understeer the crap out of the front tires. From my own experience and experience from real track people, trofeo r is just that much faster than cup2. At gingerman and grattan raceway, I see around 1.5 and 1 second improvement on trofeo r depend on cars. And I just found a test on youtube as well, should be referential even it's an ad. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rrLQpAt5Mes

Previous comparisons put the trofeo R very high but people forget about tire size, which is equally important for mechanical grip. The gt350r front tires are like 305s? I'd hate to do a U turn in this car but those monster tires won't be much less than those on the z28
