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!
Great choice! The color looks like it's lit up by electricity. Congrats on your new purchase!
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
Everytime i see review of this car people are all about performance but is it ok to buy this car for the looks?
Of course it is! It is beautiful!
i'm hopefully going to be taking delivery of my 18 GT Premium PP (fully specced except Recarros) on Monday! And I'm so excited!!!!
Congrats on the new Mustang! What color did you get?
I like the front look and the wing just makes the car look better
I really like the way the wing is very unique.
I agree...
Great minds think alike!
Man I love that color, black out that roof and change the gloss hood and that car would be bad ass
TpeZHD I think you are on to something. It has to be one of the best new colors.
I love my Mustang 2018 GT PP with Recaro seats. It's such a beast!
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.
I think I'm more impressed how you review a car in one shot and not mess up your words. Cause then it's a whole redo or edit.
Thanks for the compliment I really appreciate it. I guess my thing is I want it to be natural and not some perfect polished thing.
Great car, great review, great videoing as well!
Thanks davud! I owe it to Tom and Chris!
That color is so amazing!
Yup....ordered mine in that color...when I saw it, I had to have it.
Dang, that V8 sounds waaaaay better than the EcoBoost I reviewed. That turbo just makes it sound like an asthmatic leafblower.
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!
I’ve got a question for you which would you pick the Mustang in this review or the Charger or Challenger ? I like them all but I have to decide and I need your opinion. Thanks for great content
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.
Robert, thanks for the great feedback You have to make your way to a Ford dealer and take it for a spin.
Good review but the leather seats do not come with the Performance pack. That is the Premium package that gives you the seats and some other stuff.
Yeah I tripped on Performance and Premium Package. To many P's lol
Now we're talkin! Would love to see a GT350 or 350R review!
That is in the works! Walker Ford has a 2018 Shelby GT350 that is red with white racing strips right on the showroom floor.
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.
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!
I want one in that color. Did you say you have to get the premium gt for the gauge cluster ?
Yes the way to get that awesome gauge cluster is with the premium. It has even more features then what I showed.
Thank you for the detailed look at the new digital dash. Ford really got this right.
Lance Langdon you’re very welcome. I really enjoyed driving this car with the new dash. It has great graphics and lots of ways to setup up to your preferences.
"It's really nice and throaty, but not too obnoxious to where you're gonna piss everybody off in your neighborhood" Best part
Thank brother I am glad you liked that!
Between the broken aluminum shift forks and to the bad engines from piston spray ons instead of sleeves I have no idea why I was wouldn't trade my gen 2 coyote for this one ;)
But I do appreciate that it made the 15-17 mustangs worth more money.
looks like this didn't age well lmfao
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.
I totally agree with you!
That orange fury color is f'ing gorgeous
I totally agree with you! It really pops in the sun!
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?
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.
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.
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.
I traded in my 2019 Mustang eco to that exact similar car (2018 Mustang GT orange fury PP1).
well said, ford should have hired you as their sales man
Master Wang wow that’s a nice compliment. I appreciate you watching!
Would you recommend this over a 2010-2012 GT500? I can't decide.
If you want something that is going to handle better and have a better interior, yes!
what is the difference between orange fury and tropical orange?
It's in the meatallic!
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.
But the bottom grill remains matte. WTF???
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
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.
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!
Congrats! When does your Mustang come in? It would be awesome for two people to be connected through my channel.
Jeff Swanitz Hahaha, that is exciting, the 2018 is a wild car congrats! I like them a lot myself but I think I am going to get long term use out of my current mustang probably another 10 years lol
Kara G enjoy your ride!
The wing belongs on this mustang. It not only looks awesome, but keeps you on the road at 100+!
I totally agree with you! Thank you so much for watching!
@@RaitisRides Thank you for your awesome reviews! Please keep up the good work!
You got it! Thank you for your awesome support!
Been thinking about a GT, just to throw my next door neighbor's off their bed at 5 am....lol
Oh especially on a cold start!
It kinda looks like a beefier supra. I love these things. Hope I can get a good deal this holiday season
I can totally see where you are coming from! I am sure they will have some great deals! Where do you live?
Raiti's Rides im out here in socal, keepin my eyes peeled for performance pack and digital display gauges haha
That would make for a great setup!
Can you do a sound system review with a good bass music on the 208/19 Mustang GT please?
Sure that is a great idea! Stay tuned!
Cheers, nothing better than a beautiful mustang with amazing V8 engine sound and a good music system.
That is a very good point that you bring up! Thanks for watching!
Bad ass bro!
It is super bad ass! I really like the work they have done with the exhaust.
chris corona thank you. It’s a really fun car to drive
Love Orange Fury!
Just found your channel and like your reviews. Compared to your RS and cars you have owned in the past how does the new Mustang compare? Would you consider buying one over the RS?
thillyard1 thanks for your great feedback and support! I would love to have one of these new Mustang GTs. Performance in a straight line out does my RS. I really like the interior. They have really upgraded it nicely. Would you like a Vlog comparing the two in more detail?
Raiti's Rides That would be an awesome vlog.
thillyard1 I’ll get it together for you! Stay tuned! 😎👍🏻
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.
wrinkleneckbass it is such a wonderful car. I wanted to get it after the test drive. Our money is buying less and less every year. Damn inflation! I appreciate you watching. I do miss the old Fox Body mustangs!
People have more money nowadays, almost anyone can get a mustang if they make payments
Sweet pony.
Bodyguard 56 it really is an amazing stang!
Buy a microphone. They are not expensive.
James Agay I’m in the process of upgrading!
This Orange Fury pops
It really is a great color!
Yes it does!
Tony Amarillas its a hot color!
Fox body Mustangs came out in 1979, while the first Fox body Fairmont came out in 1978.
Yes sir, 1979-1993. My favorite is the 1993 SVT.
"that's what I like", " I really, really like it"
lucifer lavey it’s a hot 🔥 car!
That color change at 9:25 tho
supersport267 it really pops in the sun!
I have the cyber orange. It's a little more yellow than this one.
Gorgeous and mean at the same time. I don't know how Ford did it, but they did.
Tony Amarillas it looks really great!
I've ordered this exact car in the exact color! taking delivery next week!
Tony Amarillas congrats! The wait is really worth it!
Can you do the Ford Explorer?
Sure can! What option trim level are you interested in?
How about the 2018 Ford Explorer XLT?
kjchicago1 sure I will put it together!😊👍🏻
Why not to but this car after certain miles the engine will give up. This car were not well build. I would buy the 5.0 if if it cost around 20k for this problem but 40k nah I’m sorry I rather go for a dodge or a camaro . My dream car was a mustang but lately I been hearing so much negative about this car.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this one.
I think it's weight than previous year
Totally
Volume...sound check...sound check..Speilberg would be pissed
LMAO! This is when I was using my iphone to film with! I have come a long was since then and to think it hasn't been a year since I filmed this review. I honestly think Speilberg would appreciate where I have come from. You always have to remember your roots!
I love your content but you really need a good mic
Thank you so much for that! I have good news! I just ordered all new equipment so stay tuned for the upgrades!
WANT
bk138 ST she is a beauty!
Raiti's Rides someday I'm going to sell my FoST and pick up a GT
I have a 15 GT with 18000 miles.most wonderful vehicle I have ever owned.tired of Corvettes and have owned several.the Camaro to me looks ghastly.i love chevys but they need to hire better engineers and designers
George G thanks for your input. I’m so glad you are enjoying it.
This 2018 Ford Mustang GT is a big hit
It really has taken off!
She's purdy
Oh you had her looking really god! Thanks for your help and it was great talking to you again!
Anytime bud
I hope you thought the review is alright.
The review was awesome bud, y'all did an excellent job
Kind of funny how you liked the engine cover, now you absolutely hate it
This was the first time I had ever seen it. After you look at it for more than one review it is terrible.
mate the audio is really crap ,buy a decent mike !
eric roozendaal thank you for the feedback. I recently did! Check out some of my newer videos.
Audio sucks. Really sucks. Did I mention how much the audio sucks?
Thank you for your feedback. I am working on getting a microphone together and some other upgraded equipment. I appreciate your support. Stay tuned!
trent Gareth nothing like some constructive criticism eh lol
It's going to get better!
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 💵
My God that’s makes a lot of sense! Thank you for your great feedback!
Please fix your audio.
I'm working on getting a proper mic setup. Please stay tuned!
Still needs a weight reduction!
Barbara Horner less what would be really great! Thanks for your feedback!
why would u even call it the ultimate pony car?? camaro ss 1le raped it costinf less money... ita just a refreshed model
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.
thanks for the feedback! I am sure in a year or 2 people will be wringing every ounce of power our of these.
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.
Tony Amarillas very good points.
Boy did they fuck up the front end of this car.
You need to see it in person. I thought the same thing.
