Used 2020 Ford Shelby GT350 Coupe Trims Comparison

Trim level differences

The 2020 Ford Shelby GT350 is a high-performance version of the Mustang coupe. There are two trim levels: the base GT350 and the race-focused GT350R. Essentially, the GT350 is the track-day version of a Mustang and, as such, it has many performance features that you won't see on a standard rental Mustang.

Standard equipment for the base GT350 includes a 5.2-liter V8 (526 hp and 429 lb-ft of torque), a six-speed manual transmission, 19-inch wheels, adaptive suspension dampers, Brembo brakes, a Torsen rear differential (with 3.73 gearing), a front-suspension tower brace, three powertrain coolers (oil, differential and transmission), adjustable drive settings, xenon headlights, a rear spoiler and diffuser, and keyless ignition and entry.

Inside, you'll find manually adjustable Recaro front seats with simulated-suede inserts, an 8-inch center display, Track Apps performance telemetry, and a six-speaker sound system.

Opting for the Technology package equips the GT350 with a voice-activated navigation system, a premium Bang & Olufsen sound system, blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert, and heated side mirrors. If you check the box for the more comfortable leather sport seats, you'll also receive six-way power adjustability, heating and ventilation, and driver-seat memory functions. A Handling package comes with adjustable strut top mounts that expand the range of adjustability for the front suspension and a Gurney flap extension for the rear spoiler.

The GT350R gets most of the GT350's standard equipment, plus 19-inch carbon-fiber wheels (with special Michelin tires), revised suspension tuning, a front chin splitter, and a carbon-fiber rear wing. The Technology package is also available for the R.

For 2020, the limited-run Heritage Edition package offers the classic Wimbledon White paint with Guardsman Blue racing stripes that recall the 1965 GT350 racing model. Guardsman Blue front and rear badges and a unique dash badge complete the nostalgic nod. GT350R models will also come with all-black seats with red accent stitching.

Which Shelby GT350 trim does Edmunds recommend?

Unless you intend to make your Shelby GT350 a nearly track-only car, we'd pass on the GT350R and suggest the standard GT350 with two option packages. The first one is the Handling package that gives you an even more adjustable suspension as well as aerodynamic changes. The second is the Technology package that equips the Shelby with voice-activated navigation, an upgraded audio system (when you're not drowning in decibels from the high-revving V8), and blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert.
