      The Ford website is meaningless for the actual purchase, when you buy it at the car dealership with the options you want and Ford builds it .... you get a green window sticker.

    If you're going to do the PP equivalent on your own, you're going to need the PP brake booster, the brakes, wheels and tires, a bigger radiator (maybe you can skip the oil cooler that way but you'll probably want it), a lot more spring rate (a $3000 coil over package equipped base model GT over at Vorschlag with wheels and tires and coil overs went faster around their local track than a stock C6 Z06), and probably a lot of other things.
    If you're going to do even one track day a year...you want the PP.

I totatally agree with your choice on the non-digital cluster. I liked the digital displays in the 90's, they looked good and modern to my 90's eyes. I look at them now and they are dated and simply tragic, lesson learned...

  • @the1whokill518
    @the1whokill518 6 лет назад +1

    The active exhaust is a good mine, most active exhaust systems cost 2G+. Put you a resonator delete on it(x-pipe or h-pipe $125) and it gets loud at a price of $900. Plus the preformance pack offers like 4G in just brakes and a 3.73 gear in manual, it's worth it with just that, also offers wider wheels, a larger radiator, thicker sway bars, and a couple other stuff.

  • @sdecubel

      I'd think the best option would be the cross-traffic alert (the way people haul ass in store parking lots...while you're backing out from beside a big-ass pickup truck.) But does the active exhaust make your exhaust sound louder (as well) or does it just make it quieter for the neighbors in the morning?

      So it's like the fake electronic exhaust noise in the 4-banger Mustang? I guess my question is: Can Active Exhaust make your GT exhaust louder than a GT without Active exhaust? If not, I'd just as soon save the money. I'm not really worried about keeping the neighbors happy.

  • @scottyV1000
    @scottyV1000 6 лет назад

    After dumping about 4K in mods on my 2014, one of the reasons i got my 2018 was because I could get factory options that would get me everything I added to the 2014. You might save a few bucks doing it yourself but they won't give you anything for it when you trade it in. My sales guy completely ignored my list of add-ons and they aren't even including them on the list of options as a used car. The car is loud enough for me with the active exhaust and you can't put a good set of mufflers on a new car for $850. I spent about $2,500 in suspension parts for my 2014 and you still had to manually adjust the shock settings so I think the Magneride is defiantly worth it. I didn't want the Safe- and sound package because i don't want a bunch of electronic nannys messing with my drive - pay attention when driving and you don't need this stuff. The one thing you get with the S&S package is the my color ambience lighting throughout the car and that's the only way to get that if you want it. I learned my lesson with the last car so i'm only putting a few appearance items on this one. I did get a MGW shifter for it but I may not put it on because the 6 speed in this car is like night and day compared to my 2014 - shifts very easily and is not notchy at all. The only thing I'm not thrilled with is the black wheels on the PP. Brembos make a lot of dust and just with the drive home from the dealer my wheels already have a film on them. I would have liked something in gun-metal.

    It’s freaking me out because your cruising around and your like 3 miles from my house. 😂 I’m also a mustang owner. We should hang out sometime. ✌️ btw. If you see a black and blue 2017 shelby gt350 drive around, that’s me. Lol

    I bought my 2020 gt premium without the rain sensors, blind spot indicators, or the lane assist. In fact i got it with the analog tachometer. To tell you the truth. I missed those creature comforts at first but after driving the car I learned to not mind anymore. I guess it’s just less stuff to break down.

    Safe & Smart package is not just about safety. Has nice conveniences. Biggest one for me is the memory seats. Wife is much shorter than me. One tap and all is well. I use memory setting 3 to auto move driver seat all the way forward to allow rear passengers easy out.

    I love my active exhaust, and they sell Corsa exhaust with active exhaust tech which works with your buttons on the steering wheel. Corsa is so loud and you can quite it down.

    I basically got the same magnetic 19 6speed PP1 I can agree I choose no magnaride no active exhaust because I knew I was going to modify. Although the active exhaust probably would have been a nice option then do a resonator delete with an H-pipe or X-pipe
    Active Exhaust is a $895 option

    Its all about price negotiations, I just bought a 2020 Mustang GT Premium in Manual with the 401A interior, Black Accent Pack, Active Exhaust, B&O Speakers, and Ford Safe and Smart pack for $42,000 out the door.
    That's a fully loaded car for even $3,000 under the sticker of the red one you showed. It's about knowing your options, not knowing your limits. You can save money through negotiating with dealerships and putting them against each other to sell you a car. Never settle for sticker price.

  • @brianmiller5074

    Thanks for the input. Would a performance pack 1 on a GT even be necessary if all I was going to do is use this as a daily and not track it? If I get one this will be my only daily driving car. I commute to work highway about 50 miles round trip. I will not be tracking this that I am aware of at least I do not plan on it. I enjoy passing on the highway and hitting it on the ramps but I am spirited but not like I was in my 20's. I love the V8 sound and never had a true sports car but is the performance pack for my type driving a waste of money? I would like Nav on my car and I think the performance pack voids out the nav so I may have answered my own question. Anyway great video and love your car.. I heard your message I was just reaching out to previous owners also. Thanks

  • @dariuszhang6602

    My pick if I could order one would be a PP2 with red recaros (not sure if that's possible) Either white exterior, red, or just a color that goes well with the red interior. 6 speed manual, possibly a 10 auto. navigation system, and digital gages.

  • @JustinAEgan

    The worst problem with after-market parts? (besides cost of purchase) - is how much wrench-turning you are comfortable doing ... on a new car!!!
    Remember? ...Just recently... you had your car in the shop, for a week - while they were fitting some prototype modifications. Just think about the shop time required: install headers,install exhaust, install springs,install wheels..tires... install brakes.... bet, if you are like me, you were chewing nails for most of that time?
    Those are even during the best of times. Even worse, when it hits the fan, in the not so good outcomes - who bites the weeny - if they make a mistake? What if they (the shop is not quite as "skilled" as they claim to be or even worse; the shop is broken in to, catches fire or you have a complaint and they don't want to be "stand-up about either a warranty callback"? If the problem is a Ford package deal - its covered.
    I'm real particular about modifications on my car... I've had to reclaim my car from more than one shop; after they failed to do the work; either on time or up to the level of quality I expected. Matter of fact,one of the reasons I got into "Hot rodding - modifying my cars" back in teens/twenties... was running into shops which were better at "talking" a good game, not so good at producing a safe, quality, reliable package - after the fact. Even today - more times than I want to admit... I've taken my car in to have new tires installed...tires, nothing like changing springs or suspension. When I got the car back - they had scratched up the wheels,scraped the paint or worse! ... It was like that when you brought it in... or ... you have to expect a 'little' damage, it happens?
    If you want it done right - sooner or later, you either learn how to do it all - yourself, or get it optioned, from the factory, then get with a few friend (who you trust!)...then work on each others cars - so it gets done right - once - the first time! There are a few good shop, but they are not easy to find and they usually have a long waiting list and labor charges are "NOT" cheap.

    But so glad you and I agree on the options, I ended up taking the safe and smart pack as well as performance pack on my order. Added the black accent, 3.55 gear and shaker system (daily driver so need the thumping music.) can’t wait for my car to come in!

    Yo Ecobeast I've been in the market and am highly considering trading in my Z for one of these. Few questions though:
    1. I read that if I want the quicker stang off the lot PP is the way to go and was actually the package that ran 11's. Can you confirm?
    2. Being this my first mustang and not knowing much of the muscle car world how well does it respond to mods, would I be seeing big gains? Coming from a Z which had shit4gains this is important lol.

  • @jozzies3096
    @jozzies3096 6 лет назад

    How do you save money piecing together PP options? 4k for the package...and you're already there with the wing, brembo's, and black accent package. There are a lot more goodies besides that in the package. As far as the exhaust...upgrade to the active exhaust only to upgrade the exhaust? Active was the upgrade. Rip out the resonator and toss in an H or X pipe and you'll have a radical sounding ride with every mode. The one thing you didn't mention as far as options to avoid is the magneride. I like it, but for the guys wanting to lower, the magneride has like one option so far....GT350 springs for a 22mm drop. Not much to that. For the record though..you're black stang looks badass.

  • @bullitt675
    @bullitt675 6 лет назад

    Let me first say, I’ve watched all your videos Ecobeast. They’re pretty much on point, but this one is all wrong from every angle. I own the 2018 6spd man loaded with every option available and in black too. The 10 spd Auto is a must have for the strip/daily use, but Man vs auto means “0” to me in road circuit racing unless your at pro level. Imo if your considering or building the “2018” online, loaded it up within your budget. It’s worth it and cost effective. If you ordered it and waiting anxiously, have no regrets upon delivery. Every option may not be used as much as others, but it comes in useful when you need it(especially in NYC). With these extra options. I think ford found a compromise between tradition/technology “it’s effing brilliant”. My 2018 has given Europe/Japan’s offerings a good seeing to already(and I still two had to gears remaining).
    Like you said it’s a personal opinion which I respect, but beg to differ. My advice is to test drive a base GT and premium GT and see what feels good to you long term based on your lifestyle.
    Btw...the Michelin sport compS are the “tits”. Sticky and all season + magnaride, a spoiler designed by NASA engineers. What more can you ask for.
    Keep your chin up Ecoboost...you made the right choice. I think if you took the red one you’d be right back here making a video about options you should’ve taken.
    Keep up the good work! Governor.

    Hey man great videos. In July I should be getting my Mustang. I'm currently looking at an EcoBoost with the 101A and Black Accent but I was wondering as a daily driver should I opt in for the performance package? I'm mainly looking for the beauty of the car and an all around fun daily driver. I don't think I'll ever mod because eventually I'll be looking into a GT in 3-7 years.

    agree on active exhaust; I like the louder sound if not in a homeowner neighborhood; but out of courtesy, I tone it down in my driveway and streets for the neighbors. Usually the only people liking the loud exhaust and loud music are the driver, and he thinks he is impressing people, but in fact most people do not like or appreciate the noise.

    Thanks for the video....
    I was looking to update from my beloved 2011 6MT GT, so I spec'd an '18 GT Premium manual with the new toys 'n' technology I wanted ... the price tag? FIFTY GRAND thanks to Ford's options packaging!!! And that was the "semi stripped" version where I gave up some of the things I wanted...
    I discovered I could buy a '17 Corvette for $2-3k more with most of the same tech goodies after all the year end sales and deals were applied. The "last year's model" wasn't an issue as the '18 'vette is identical to the '17 with the exception of a few color choices, and since I don't plan to sell the car for at least five years, it wasn't an issue... Price before the gooberment confiscated their fees was $52k.
    IMO I got better value with the 'vette, as it was designed as a sports car from the ground up, with every item tuned to that goal, and has better overall quality. It also has a decidedly larger "WOW" factor, as it carries the 65+ year Corvette cache' and you'll see only ONE '14-17 'vette for every THREE same period Mustangs on the road.
    Sadly, Ford priced themselves out of the market, but having bought the 'vette, I couldn't be happier.

Anything with a flat plane crank that makes supercar engine sounds gets my attention if it is more reliable than the GT350's 5.2. BUT that's far out of my price range for now. My 2019 GT premium mustang has loads of great features and cost $39k used, $36K after trade for a spec that cost over $50k new.

    Although I would typically agree that the active exhaust is a waste for someone modding their exhaust, I have to disagree simply from the standpoint of someone living in a state that bans any altering of stock exhaust. The active exhaust system on the 2018 mustang is one of the loudest, meanest V8 exhaust notes you’ll have the chance to legally own in my state.
