    Definitely have to enjoy V8 manuals while they’re still around. Happy the V8 Mustang is still here. The new S650 Mustang is so similar to the previous gen S550 Mustangs. It’s more like a facelift more than a new generation. I purchased a 2021 GT with 30k miles for $30 out the door 3 months ago. With only 2 performance mods (Headers and E85). I was just above 500 whp to the wheels. Tracked my Mustang twice so far and with Magnaride suspension from factory the car was a so good on race track. Takes turns really well and fast on the straightls. Not as engaging as my BRZ on track but pretty close considering how much bigger the Mustang is.

The average person can't even afford older sports cars anymore and GOOD LUCK if you are into 90s/early 2000s JDM. Nothing is obtainable for an average car guy or a young person wanting to get his first car. Even old 90s civics that are clean can cost you 10k+ unless you get an absolute junker.

      The GR Corolla is the clear choice. A lot of these people aren’t real car guys. The TFL target audience is casual, low education, and fast food consumers . Of course they are going to think a crappy ford is better. The GR engine is an overbuild 1.6 l with 3 cylinders that puts out 300 hp. Ford could never engineer anything close to that.

My dream car, even though I can no longer get one due to import restrictions as the years roll by, will always be an Evo 8. I was considering getting the GR Yaris 1.6 turbo but then Toyota brought the GR Corolla to the market. It's a 3 cyl but 100 hp per cyl is crazy. Stock it suffers from heat soak if ran too long and high rpms but that's an easy fix with some modifications. Totally amazing car.

      I am pretty sure Roman didn’t say that because these are the kind of answers that can destroy an otherwise thriving channel and Roman is way smarter than that. On the other hand, this is what a 20 something employee would post on a Saturday morning when his boss is still sleeping at home oblivious to the damage his employee is causing.

    I'll gladly take the GR over any mustang, I live in Canada and want to actually be able to enjoy my car in winter.

    6:20 I Love the Mazda 3 Turbo Hatchback can Rev all the way to redline unlike the toyota gr corolla you could do that if you turn off the traction control off

      At least I can rev my engine without having to shift into neutral... Also how often are you really going to bounce the limiter, I can unlock the rev limiter in 3 seconds if i really wanted to bounce it off redline.

    launching the GR Corolla with the stock pitch mount presents significant challenges. The factory mount is notorious for tearing at the front with relatively low mileage, observed in instances as early as 1000 miles. Such damage complicates gear shifting, rev-matching, and the launching process considerably.

      Do some research, your utterly incorrect about the Mount tearing, its just a soft pitch mount from the factory, that "tearing" is by design and is called flashing material, it was never meant to be permanently bonded to the aluminum structure, it is blatantly obvious if you ever actually looked at one.

      @rock40ps3 My pitch mount was removed and inspected at a dealership prior to posting my comment. It was noted that the front of the mount had separated. Causing the engine to shift more than it should. This results in a loss of deliverable torque during launch. Additionally, this affects the 0 to 60 time and makes shifting more difficult.
      Many GR Corolla owners have discussed the pitch mount. It is evident that you lack the first-hand experience to comment on the subject.

    he talks like the GR corolla is not full of plastic like the mustang.
