Shelby GT350R Final Oil Change and What's Next. I would like to sell the Shelby GT350R to explore a brand new platform and have a new automotive experience for myself and to share with you guys on the channel. What cars should I consider post in the comments section below. I also want the Shelby GT350R to go to the right owner not a dealer or car flipper. Reach out if your seriously interested in this rare spec Shelby GT350R. Ford will never produce a car like this ever again. This is the last NA flat plane V8 with a manual gearbox in our modern times.

Love the channel - my first Porsche was a Macan GTS - build quality and performance was excellent for an SUV. Just got my first 911 last month. Again - build quality is second to none. Working on the engine….seeing the engine….an impossibility. I’m 6’5” and there is a clear 3” of headroom in this car. It isn’t a GT3, but I love it. I got a Targa 4s -

Free country, everyone should follow their own heart - BUT - I’d take a guess that if you sell this car, in ten years it will be the one you regret. I recently relocated from North Jersey to North Texas & this car reminds me of the American Cowboy ethos, open county, freedom and adventure. Good luck on what ever you decide. I’ve been following the channel since the red GT 350 and have learned a lot. Still driving a 2018 S550 GT PP1; getting ready to head to Jackson Hole & Yellowstone. Happy motoring & thanks.

Nice video Phil! I’m gonna miss the GT350 videos but excited to see what’s next. You’re spot on regarding the car market. It’s kinda depressing for an enthusiast looking for affordable cars. Saw dealers charging 20k over stick for the new Z. Looked at the new Civic Si at a local dealer and they want 10k over and it’s not even the type R. It’s ridiculous at this point.

It’s a keeper for sure, I traded in a 2019 gt3rs for a 2019 350 non R with 700 miles. In many ways, it’s much better driving experience with the manual transmission, couldn’t tell you another car out there that would replicate this short of a 992 GT3 touring (manual) but those are still going for north of 300k.

I was looking at the AMR in early 2020 before the world went to shit I hated the AMR gearbox it was not very good at all and the shifter felt awful in your palm. the Vantage is a neat car but the handling is a bit sketchy they supposedly fixed that on the new F1 editions and new V12 Vantage but back to back the AMG GTR is the better handling car with a much more developed chassis.

A lot of people will reject the idea but I think boosting your 350 would be amazing. I’ve been through many iterations on my 350 (Stock, minor bolt ons, and now boosted) I think with moderate boost, not excessive, adds such an emotionally pleasing element to this already perfect car. Now for sole track enthusiasts maybe not the way to go. But for the average street guy I believe it’s a must. Just my opinion. I think with your meticulous nature it would be an excellent quantity of good quality content watching you go through a nice build on the 350. Best of luck! Final notes. I did go into pretty extensive work with mine (built motor, fuel system, clutch, etc) The voodoo out of the box wasn’t equipped to handle what I intended to throw at it. But based off what I have seen with others staying under 10lbs of boost have had excellent results maintaining a healthy motor and have gotten a quite reliable set up. Maybe it’s not for you. To each their own. Just thought I’d throw it out there.

I would keep the GTR probably forever and look to replace the GT350 way out in the future when the new Z06 pricing comes back to reality and availability. Both cars feel special but the GTR in a much different class...interior, handling, speed.

thanks for sharing this feedback the GTR is an animal and AMG spent a ton of money engineering that car to be a real 911 competitor. My issue has been finding a good one, most have too many miles, no service records, flipped at auction so many times and trashed paint with rock chips all over. If the right GTR comes my way I am still going after it. AMG will never make another one the way things are going and these European automakers are jumping ship on ICE faster than anyone else due to their ridiculous Govts. Does your GTR have CCB Brakes or steel brakes? For the money my heart has been set on finding the right spec with the CCB but its hard it seems no many opted for these in the 2018-2020 models.

I know this is late, but I think a competitor for a GT350 would’ve been the OG M2. It sounds a lot better than the S55, but still burbles; it just doesn’t sound artificial. The N55 actually felt like it had some sort of soul, compared to something like the B58 or S55, though I can’t describe in words how. Another aspect was balance, it was a perfect 50/50 and when given the chance to drive an Giulia QV it actually eerily similar; they both want to kill you, but the M2 felt more like a race car whereas the Alfa felt more, classic Italian. Power is one downside, but with Stage 2 & FBO I was pushing 450hp; no issues with reliability for my 3 year time, especially since it’s an N55. Steering felt better than the GT350 from my experience, as it felt so responsive and so confidence inspiring. Put that along a DCT or manual and it’s the perfect go-kart. I sold my M2 when the car market was at its peak and have an E92 M3 DCT. The steering is amazing and the S65 is godly, but now I’m debating on either getting the Alfa QV for that Ferrari Engine & Practicality, or a GT350 for that Voodoo & Trans. The QV feels like my OGM2 The GT350 feels like my E92 M3

Nothing can compare to the Shelby GT350R these cars are so raw and engaging no M car even comes close and I just bought a G80 M3 with 6 speed last week, great cars but the German cars are so refined and the Ford is far from refined which lends to it's character I love my GT350R took it out a few days ago for a rip! I personally love the E92 but they are still more refined than the GT350 even through they are old cars now.

​@@autofanaticcars Thanks for responding! I see what you mean by being more unrefined compared to the M cars. I actually had another chance to drive a GT350 and the Giulia QV back to back yesterday to decide which one to go for, and I think I finalized my decision with the GT350. The Giulia felt way more refined than my M2, and even more aggressive when taking turns, but just somehow didn't feel as engaging anymore as the GT350. I was surprised because the first time I drove one I was in love with the Giulia for that factor and didn't even consider the GT350 at that point, but now I've began rethinking. Hell, this whole ordeal made me rethink what an ideal sedan would be as a whole in the long run, and I've started lusting after the Chevy SS in comparison to the Giulia; the complete opposite. I think I've been Americanized; I think I want to drive the GT350 more now.

Congrats the GT350 is one of the most special modern cars ever created and I created this channel from day 1 discussing this. the Giulia stock is a great car but i personally felt it was too soft and not raw enough for me which is why I modified mine with so many upgrades. I recent got rid of the car due to it being so problematic and the dealer networks so poor I just picked up a new M3 with a stick and really like it.

You should probably keep this car. No one is going to maintain a vehicle as well as you. I have PPF on the front of my 2020 GT500 that I purchased new but it still has rock chips. It breaks my heart. Personally my Shelby is keeper. Most people that own a GT350(R)s keep them.

If you believe ford won’t make cars like the 350 ever again, then why get rid of it? It’s already a classic that will be worth way more money in the future. Unless someone gives you an offer you can’t say no to, I say keep it. You’re a mustang guy at heart, why not hold on to the best one ford ever made. But, for your next car regardless of what you do with the 350, I’d say gt4rs should be on your radar.
