Hennessey Performance Engineering is known for turning already potent sports cars into ludicrously fast machines. But before doing so, the company likes to get a baseline of the stock car’s performance. In this video, Hennessey tests a stock 2016 Ford Mustang Shelby GT350’s acceleration from 0 to 170 mph. With the camera pointed at the center-mounted digital speedometer and the tachometer to the left, the stock Shelby GT350 begins its acceleration run. With a fairly soft launch (according to Hennessey) just above 2,000 rpm, the high-performance Mustang takes off. The driver shifts firmly close to the engine’s 8,200-rpm redline. In this test, the Shelby GT350 reached 60 mph in 5.4 seconds, 100 mph in 10.4 seconds, 150 mph in 24.2 seconds, and 170 mph in 39.1 seconds. Top speed at the end of the run was a license-revoking 171.6 mph. In our testing, the stock 2016 Ford Mustang Shelby GT350 reached 60 mph in 4.1 seconds and finished the quarter-mile in 12.4 seconds at … [Read more...] about Watch a stock 2016 Ford Mustang Shelby GT350 do 0-170 MPH

Wanna be first in line to get a new 2016 Ford Mustang Shelby GT350R? Sorry, that seat’s taken. As is becoming tradition, Ford gave the very first of the track monster Mustang to diabetes charity JDRF. The charity is sending VIN number 001 across the Barrett-Jackson auction block tomorrow. And you can bet it’s gonna command a hefty premium.Ford’s relationship with JDRF reaches back years. Through auctions like this, Ford has helped the charity raise nearly $4 million, and the very first 2015 Mustang netted the organization $300,000 when Ford and JDRF ran it across the Barrett-Jackson block a year ago.Alongside the R model, Barrett-Jackson will also be auctioning off the very first example of the slightly-more-street-oriented GT350. In both cases, the auction isn’t exactly for a specific car: The winner gets to spec out their first-ever super-Stang with whatever color combination and option package they desire.Given the GT350R’s purposeful … [Read more...] about Mean Mustang, Good Cause: First 2016 Ford Mustang Shelby GT350R Headed to Auction for Charity

Ford’s epic-looking Mustang Shelby GT350 needs to go on sale, and it needs to do so now. Having fraternized with the high-performance Mustang in nearly every way—we still haven’t driven it—the only remaining question marks pertain to the car’s price. Option pricing for the limited run of 2015 model-year GT350s leaked out a few weeks ago, but those cars’ base prices are still a mystery. Now the Mustang fiends over at Mustang6G.com have uncovered full pricing for the 2016 model-year GT350 and GT350R, and all we can say is look out, BMW M4.Surprisingly, the 2016 GT350 will be less expensive than expected, ringing in at $49,995 to start. (Technically, the base price is $48,695, but the order guide on Mustang6G appears to show a $1300 gas-guzzler tax, and we always include such fees in the base prices of cars so affected.) The even harder-core, track-focused GT350R treatment requires an additional $13,500, meaning you won’t be able to pick one … [Read more...] about OM(ustang)G! 2016 Ford Mustang Shelby GT350 Prices Leaked!

Part of what separates the track-focused Ford Mustang Shelby GT350R from the “regular” GT350 is that the R is supposed to be lighter. In order to make it lighter, Ford strips out some of the regular GT350’s standard equipment: air conditioning, the audio system, navigation, Sync 3, a rearview camera, side-view mirrors with turn-signal repeaters, auxiliary gauges, a garage-door opener, floor mats, and the back seat. The GT350R’s optional Electronics Package ($3000) puts all of that stuff back in, except for the back seat. Now Ford will let GT350R buyers add that, too.The seat—upholstered in the same black microsuede with red piping as the front seats—is available as an accessory, for $999 plus dealer installation. And, yes, it comes with seatbelts.Ford says the change is in response to customer demand. Evidently, customers want the maximum Shelby, but they’re not so into the minimalist spec. Add back in all of the optional stuff that the R is … [Read more...] about Ford Mustang Shelby GT350R Gets Its Back Seat Back—as a $999 Extra
