2018 Mustang GT Drag Races Shelby GT350 in Street Fight, Domination Established

In fact, we've already shown you a drag race between a 2018 Ford Mustang GT Automatic featuring the Level One Performance Package and a pre-revamp Shelby GT350 and while that brawl took place at the drag strip, not all drivers will take the time to engage in such adventures.

Well, we are now back on the topic, as we want to show you such a drag race that was held on the street.

However, the confrontation we have here involves a modded example of the MY18 GT, albeit with its driver explaining that the 5.0-liter motor has only been gifted with a 930-octane tune, a cold air intake and a custom exhaust setup featuring an x-pipe.

It's worth noting that both the GT and the GT350 (this is a stock car with Magneride) used Michelin Pilot Super Sport rubber. Oh, and while the Shelby comes in manual form by definition, the GT we have here packs the ten-speed automatic.

The two Blue Oval toys duked it out on multiple occasions, using both standing and rolling takeoffs.

Oh, and in case you're wondering how a facelifted GT350 would perform against the 2018 Mustang GT, we'll remind you that the mid-cycle revamp of the first wasn't nearly as complex as in the case of other members of the range. Thus, we're not expecting the 2019 GT350 to be significantly quicker than the car it replaces, at least not in a straight line.

P.S.: Feel free to jump to the 5:10 point of the clip for the drag racing action.
