  • Here is an opportunity to get up to speed with this in-depth review of the ALL NEW 2018 Mustang GT. Check out all the changes that have been done by the Ford engineers both under the hood and behind the wheel. Will it be enough to out perform the Chevy Camaro and Dodge Challenger?

    I can’t tell you how much I love my 2018 mustang gt and the orange fury is GORGEOUS! I agree with you on how great this car looks!

    Just bought a 2018 ruby red metallic mustang gt and Raiti’s rides is one of the channels that motivated me to go for the car. Thanks for being an amazing car reviewer and a great person hope your gt350 gets finished soon

    I bought a 2018 royal crimson, 6 speed manual transmission mustang 5.0 GT. The paint job gets a lot of compliments. I really enjoy driving it. It’s quick, it’s smooth, and rides real nice. I like it a lot better than my 2013 mustang GT which was very enjoyable to drive too.

  • @redrojo9436

    • @RaitisRides
      @RaitisRides  6 лет назад +1

    Dang, that V8 sounds waaaaay better than the EcoBoost I reviewed. That turbo just makes it sound like an asthmatic leafblower.

    • @RaitisRides
      @RaitisRides  6 лет назад +1

      Sirpalmtree it’s crazy how the 2.3 when implanted into the RS sounds amazing. It’s really great how the exhaust on the v8 sounds so much better then the 2015-2017 models. Thanks for the great comment!

    Great review, love your enthusiasm for the car. I think the new design is great but everyone has their own opinion. Is still need to try the new MT-82 transmission, I have a 2012 with the MT-82 and it sucks. The MT-82 D4 is supposed to be much better but it still concerns me.

    • @RaitisRides

  • @metaljew4456
    @metaljew4456 6 лет назад +1

    Joe! What do you mean by the statement; The🦊 FOX Body Mustang doesn’t look like much! My 1986 GT is major league pissed off at you and she is ready to kick your tush! I one spin in my 5 speed, 3:73 geared 8.8” rear differential w/Traction-Lok of course, Mustang would change your mind real quick. The car is a sleeper but the power train, suspension and the chassis yes the chassis has been completely beefed up with a full perimeter Kenny Brown chassis kit : Strut tower bar. Underneath the engine another full triangle in shape brace. I believe it’s called an A-Frame brace. Welded on bars that run from the front to the rear of the entire unibody chassis. I’ll stop here. I have owned her since day one. Bought her new in 1986. I wasn’t even legal to drink! Have a nice weekend my man.

    • @RaitisRides
      @RaitisRides  6 лет назад +1

      I haven't watched this video on a while. I need to re-watch it when I get a second. I promise you though I was in high school from 91-94 and fox body Mustangs were one of the hottest cars on the street. The Fox body Mustang is what brought the Mustang back into the performance world. Do you still have the 86 GT? My best friend in high school had a white 92 notchback! Him and I built the motor together! I can totally understand the reason to stiffen up the chassis! I hope you have a great weekend as well!

  • @yourmanzach2307

    • @RaitisRides
      @RaitisRides  6 лет назад

      Yes the way to get that awesome gauge cluster is with the premium. It has even more features then what I showed.

    I started looking at the Challenger today. Too fat...looks like a tug boat on wheels and you see them everywhere. Charger looks really nice, but I don’t want to be confused with the Highway Patrol. Never loved the looks of the Camaro.
    The Mustang on the other hand. Best exterior of the lot. Sleek lines, and the profile front to back looks excellent. Can’t wait to get my hands on one.

    Hey I love your videos. I have a question regarding advice on a new car. I want a new 4 door sporty car and I am torn between a WRX STI or a focus RS. What would you choose?

    • @RaitisRides
      @RaitisRides  6 лет назад

      Joshua Raleigh thanks I really appreciate that. The both have their pros & cons. I had a 2015 STI and there weren’t a ton of changes for the 2018 version. This is why I picked up an RS. Please let me know if you have any questions.

    • @joshuaraleigh8545
      @joshuaraleigh8545 6 лет назад +1

      Raiti's Rides yes I actually sold a 17 Zo6 with only 1200 miles on it because I could never ride my children in it. Does the focus RS feel a lot more powerful from the factory. How do you feel the resale value of the RS will be in 2 years vs the STI. I found a new RS I can buy for 3k under MSRP but it had a recall and the dealer changed the head gasket before they could sell it.

    • @RaitisRides
      @RaitisRides  6 лет назад +2

      Joshua Raleigh the RS is going to be faster. It has 350hp/350tq. Resale value is going to be interesting. The Subaru traditionally has better resale value but with 2018 being the end of production of the current generation Focus RS that will probably effect value in a good way. If the head gasket has been replace and you are getting it under sticker I say jump on it.

    The divider grill on the 2018 is basically the same as 2017 this is a GT grill it has that divider. Only difference i can see is that the black is gloss instead of matte.

  • @karag6556
    @karag6556 6 лет назад +6

    I love how different people's tastes are. I cannot stand Mustangs that do not have a spoiler! The rear looks too unfinished, slopey, and regular car like a Taurus. Also the black wheels ugh, can't understand why people like them, tires are black, the shrouds around the tires are black, the holes behind the rim are black, so when you have a black rim you can't even see what they look like unless you get close, blah! xD

    • @RaitisRides
      @RaitisRides  6 лет назад

      Kara G thanks for the great feedback. If you look at the website there are a ton of different wheels you can get for your new mustang and really have the exact look you want.

      @jswandog 6 лет назад +2

      Kara, I think I love you. I am SO done with the blacked out cars! It's truly NOT a good look. I ordered my 2018 With Niche Milano's in a polished finish. Classic. Oh, I did NOT do the spoiler delete. I wanted it!

    I had a new 1982 5.0 GT which had a sticker price of about $10k fully loaded and anyone could afford one. Now a fully loaded 5.0 is about $50k which is kind of expensive for most people. And even after all these years, you still have to prop up the hood with a metal rod lol. Nice car though, I don't dare to test drive one because I know I'd want to buy it.

    • @RaitisRides
      @RaitisRides  6 лет назад

      I've heard much worse audio... Give him a break. I'd love a second hand 18' gt. Would be a great performance /per dollar 💵

      Jesus H Medrano well there is more to it then dominating on a tack. I think as a daily I rather have the Mustang.

    The car is great if you domt wamt to mod for now. If you want to mod the s550 15-17 is better.

    Mustang GT has great bang for the buck, much respect. Just not for me (don’t like the body style and sorry don’t trust Ford quality).

      You are right about bang for the buck! The interior is really nice and well appointed. We will have to wait and see about reliability.

      Raiti's Rides just to add to that, not saying all fords are bad or will have problems, just over the years I’ve seen too many issues.

      Ford quality is good and dependability is bar none. I am a sold Ford guy for life.

      You need to see it in person. I thought the same thing.
