The Mustang lost its retro
chic with a new redesign, but that doesn't mean performance fans
will be left without a Shelby version. The new GT350 is a more
athletic, more racetrack-capable machine than the beastly old
GT500 ever was. The supercharger and large displacement V8 are
gone, replaced by a tech-heavy flat-plane 526 hp 5.2-liter V8
that's nicknamed "Voodoo" and wants to rev hard. Nearly every body
panel ahead of the windshield is all new to cover the car's wider
track. And—unlike with Mustangs of the past—every design detail on
the car is there to increase performance, not just for
appearances.Best of all, the only transmission Ford puts behind
the new motor in the GT350 is a six-speed manual. No expensive
dual-clutch gearboxes here.
