The 2019 Ford Mustang Shelby GT350 is a marvel and a beast. It’s Ford’s magnum opus in the performance vehicle class with everything about it designed for speed and performance.

Our team at Rusty Eck Ford is a huge fan of Ford’s top performance car. We like to talk about it a little too much. Here are some of our favorite features that make the 2019 Shelby GT350 such a great car:

  1. Raw Horsepower

The Shelby has a 5.2-liter flat plane crank V-8 under the hood that gives is some serious juice — 526 horsepower at 7,500 rotations per minute and 429 pound-feet for torque at 4,750 rotations per minute. It can go from 0 to 60 in 3.5 seconds. That’ll lower your track lap time by a long shot. This year’s incarnation of the classic muscle car does nothing but impress.

  1. MagneRide Damping System

This system makes driving the Shelby GT350 a dream. When the conditions of the road change, the MagneRide Damping System adjusts to keep the drive smooth. MagneRide’s suspension technology responds to its environment to give the Shelby the best shock damping it can get.

  1. TREMEC Transmission

The ever-efficient six-speed manual TREMEC Transmission is specifically designed to keep up with performance vehicles and it does its job well. Smooth, exacting, precise — this transmission is a big part of what makes the Shelby perform so effortlessly.

Come down to Rusty Eck Ford and let’s talk cars. Maybe we can even find you your next trusty Ford.
