Shelby GT350

The Shelby GT350 reaches 60 mph in 6.15 s (100 km/h in 6.47 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 14.46 s, tripping the lights at 98.2 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.35 s and the eighth mile in 9.38 s.

Simulated, not measured — computed from published kerb mass, rated power, gearing and drivetrain, then fitted to this car’s own published acceleration figures. Dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

Pick who it runs against, then watch it happen — and change the surface, the weather or the distance and run it again.

About the GT350

The 1965 Shelby GT350 is a rear-drive naturally aspirated car of 1,527 kg with 306 bhp, which works out at 200 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 200 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 2.35 s. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 3,417th quickest to 60 mph, inside the fastest quarter, and the 11th quickest of the 11 Shelbys here. Its 98.2 mph trap speed sits about where its 0-60 puts it, so it launches and pulls in roughly equal measure. The simulation is trimmed to 9 of 10 published acceleration figures for this car.

Picked for a fair race, not just a matching 0-60: pace, power-to-weight and body shape all count, and at most one is from the same maker.

Questions

What is the Shelby GT350 0-60 time?
The Shelby GT350 reaches 60 mph in 6.15 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 3,417th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Shelby GT350 quarter mile time?
14.46 s at 98.2 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 9.38 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.35 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Shelby GT350 have?
306 bhp and 1,527 kg, which is 200 bhp per tonne. It is rear-drive, naturally aspirated, with 5 gears and a quoted top speed of 208 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Shelby GT350?
Closest here on pace: Morgan Plus 8 3.5 Mk II (6.09 s), Iso Rivolta Grifo L GL350 Series I (6.21 s), Ferrari 365 GTB/4 Daytona (6.07 s). Each one can be raced against the Shelby GT350 in the panel at the top of this page. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
Are these real measured times?
No. Every figure on this page is produced by a physics simulation, not by a stopwatch at a drag strip. The Shelby GT350 is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 9 of its 10 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
