Welcome to one more installment of “Are you louder than a Dodge Challenger,” this time that includes the 2020 Ford Mustang Shelby GT350 R. Ford’s high-revving snake packs a 5.2-liter “Voodoo” V8 that makes 526 horsepower and all the correct noises, and it is our best-credentialed contestant to date on this collection, which pits sporty automobiles from the Autoblog take a look at fleet in opposition to my 2013 Dodge Challenger SRT 392.
Nicely, form of. See, there is a slight drawback. I offered my Challenger. As I discussed briefly within the video, Carvana got here and picked up my purple monument to tackiness a pair months again after making me a proposal that I merely could not refuse. Thankfully, I acquired all of the images and movies of the outdated lady that I will by no means have to hold this collection alive just about indefinitely. Fortunate you!
These exams are performed utilizing a free Android OS sound measuring app and the largely enclosed house in my private storage. For individuals who are unfamiliar with our methodology (and once more, we use that time period considerably loosely), you may refer again to our earlier exams with the Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio or the Porsche Cayenne S Coupe for extra particulars (or to only take heed to both of these exhaust notes).
As for the Ford? Nicely, this slithering retinal scar placed on a fairly respectable present, however not fairly respectable sufficient. Whereas the GT350’s 83.5-decibel studying places it proper up there with this collection’ loudest entries, the Challenger’s 83.7-decibel measurement continues to be the king of this specific hill. I am an enormous fan of the Voodoo and I might have beloved to see it take the crown away from my outdated cruiser, nevertheless it merely wasn’t meant to be. Till subsequent time!
