Go For A Ride Around Grattan Raceway In The New Ford Shelby GT350 – Forget Fast, Forget Handling…THAT NOISE!


Go For A Ride Around Grattan Raceway In The New Ford Shelby GT350 – Forget Fast, Forget Handling…THAT NOISE!

Taste, touch, sight, smell, and hearing. The five senses can tell you everything you need to know, and car geeks can tune in well to what works and what doesn’t. We know the crisp smell of the exhaust of a car that is on some good race fuel. We see the menacing shape, hunkered down on the tires, ready to go carve up a section of road that absolutely demands 100% of your attention at all times. We feel the machine-like movement of the shifter, the resistance of the pedals, the communication between the car and the driver via the steering wheel, and hearing the engine scream to redline just might be overshadowed by the popping and crackling on the wind-down. In the right car, it’s enough to make your entire day.

Ford’s new Shelby GT350 is a sociopath. It looks the part, it runs the part. But here’s what you aren’t getting in most videos: the interior. This is where you, as the driver, live. This is what you see when you’re behind the wheel, and until the cars start making it to dealerships nationwide, this is as good as it gets. You get to have the driver’s point-of-view as this GT350 gets tossed around Grattan Raceway in Michigan, and there’s a mic on the exhaust. Oh, good lord, that noise. Many people were curious how a flat-plane crank V8 Mustang would sound, and the answer lies somewhere between symphonic and demonic. Crank up the speakers and listen to this!

(Oh, right. Don’t taste the car. Freaking weirdo.)
