    My dad works for ford, big tip for everyone looking into the mustang, the 10 speed is an absolute MONSTER! I'm a huge manual car fan, but this thing is unbelievable when you get the 10 speed.

      @natural-born_pilot 9 месяцев назад

      It’s thoughtful of Ford to come out with a nice automatic in this beautiful beast for all those of driving age that’s never driven a stick or know how to. I was shocked to hear that something like 91% of all newly licensed drivers know how to and have driven manual transmission cars. Oh well just another woke shocker of the new generation I guess.

    I bought a used 2018 GT premium fastback with the performance package for 30k and the previous owner loved the car. I can tell because the miles on it was 90k and the cars maintenance was up to date. Currently 91,456 and I love every minute of it.
    I use to drive a 2020 mustang ecoboost but once I drove into the Ford dealership for my check up, I decided to walk around the lot while I was waiting. Saw the price window on the GT and ran into the dealership to see if I can see the car for myself. The salesman grabbed the keys and went on drive. Immediately fell in love and traded in my ecoboost for a GT. Best purchase I've ever made.

    The standard exhaust sounds great. As for the neighbors, I've lived in apartment complexes for over 30 years and have tolerated neighbors' loud stereos, barking dogs, loud late-night partying, fighting couples, etc, etc. Thus if I ever get one of these beautiful beasts, the neighbors will just have to bear with me when I fire it up. I will only take at most a few minutes before I drive off and get out of their hair.

      Still have my crap Pirelli all seasons on my '16 GT with only 13,300 miles and already more than half worn and the car has never done a burnout. Even dry, these tires are dangerous, some of the WORST tires I have ever had on a sports car, and that's coming from an ex-Vette driver for over 25 years, used every manufacturer out there. In '17 Ford went to Michelin's, best move they ever made. But what sucks is, Pirelli considers this an "OEM tire" and doesn't provide a tread life warranty - a freakin SCAM. Guess which tires will NEVER be installed on this car again?

      The same reason I liked my analog speedo on my Z750S, compared to the digital speedo on the R1. Even though the R1 would kick the 750's ass..........the satisfaction of watching the analog speedo was so much better.
      R1 speedo: 0, 5, 8, 13, 17, 21, 25, 29, 34, 39.........LOL Maybe I'm just getting old, but I like watching the needles move. :) Just like with a quick revving engine, the digital tack simply can't keep up.

      Initial test runs has shown that a Bone Stock 18 GT Mustang will do
      12.0s flat at 117 mph with the 10A - that's pretty respectable for an all motor 5.0L
      especially since EPA mileage has gone up from 15 to 16 city, and 24 to 25 on the hwy at the same time

    • @chrissorreda4982
      @chrissorreda4982 6 лет назад +4

      Your conversion is wrong. Modern engines dont follow the 10 and 15% standard we used to use back then. Parts have been made sturdier to transfer power more efficiently from engine to the wheels meaning less loss. Look for the percentage difference between the number to the wheels to what Ford claims and that’s how efficient cars have gotten when it comes to transferring power. At least this lates mustang that is.

    • @F_________________
      @F_________________ 6 лет назад +3

      Fair enough. Assuming closer to 10% for the 6 Speed manual, and 15% for the 10 speed auto to keep things simple. The Manual GT laid down 437, so it made roughly 480ish. The 10 speed auto put down 415 wheel horsepower, so it made 477ish. In my defense, I used a wheel horsepower guestimator for the first number so my mistake.

    • @basedjorts
      @basedjorts 6 лет назад +2

      Its SAE rated at 460. SAE says 460, it makes 460, whether or not a happy dyno and some random conversion may say more.

      Luis Longoria a manual transmission transfers the engines power more efficiently than a hydraulic auto, but the auto will shift faster so it will make up for any power loss. The auto will always be faster and near perfectly consistent.

    Sweet. I'm glad to see Ford will definitely be able to compete with the big European competition and the rest of the American muscle/ponycars as well now. The GT in the older S550 wasn't slow by any means, but it's wasn't fast enough anymore. If I'm not mistaken it was slower than the 2011-2015 5.0 Mustang, due to only having 10 more horsepower but weighing quite allot more. There are way too many videos showing Mustangs of the S550 generation getting spanked by cars that it shouldn't be losing against and cars with the same or less horsepower. BMW M3, BMW M2, Last generation Audi RS4 etc. I've got high hopes for this new redesign. Because Those dyno numbers are fantastic, so little drivetrain loss.

    • @americanmuscle
      @americanmuscle  6 лет назад +2

      Completely agree! These numbers were super impressive, and we haven't even gotten a tune on it yet ;) I'm excited to see what we can do with this new redesign because we're definitely going to be seeing a lot more of it! - Adam

    • @Steve-yr5vi
      @Steve-yr5vi 6 лет назад +1

      The 2015 S550 was considerably faster around a track than the S197, even the BOSS. In a straight line yes the S197 was faster than the 2015 S550. It's hard to understand that in the same paragraph you complain about straight line speed and about it not being competitive with cars that earned their reputation for handling, yet don't acknowledge the superiority of the S550's handling.

    • @dean8067
      @dean8067 6 лет назад

      Before Sunrise Because what's the point of a complete redesign if you get something in one area and lose in another? The idea of getting a complete redesign is supposed to have everything upgraded, not just some aspects being better and others falling behind in the process.

    • @The1stMoRice
      @The1stMoRice 6 лет назад +2

      I get so tired of hearing the argument “but it’s faster around a track”. I don’t live on a track. I don’t drive on a track. I don’t go to work on s track or go to the grocery store on a track. But what I do is drive on a street and 99% of that time it’s on a straight line. So yeah, my opinion is straight line performance is more important than track performance.

      It sure is...On how they took all the parts off the 16-17 Shelby GT350 and put as options on the 18 GT....They threw every GT350 owner under the bus. FYI: a new GT with all options is 53K....That isn't including all the dealer fees and TTL....So, for the same price, you can get a Used GT350 for less. Only Ford can keep screwing mustang drivers over. Will Never buy another mustang unless its year model 93-14 ..Not getting screwed anymore.

Being a Premium owner I'd recommend going for the Premium option, it's well worth it after all that near 500 HP engine can't be enjoyed when sitting in traffic, however heated and cooled leather seats can.
