This isn’t even the old look this is the revamped old look the 2005-2009 models looks so much better imo they actually look like they were trying to remake the 60s stang and not trying to get to the body style of the new mustang
I really prefer the look and character of the 11-14 GT. The real issue with shifting the MT82 in the S197 wasn't the transmission itself. The stock shift linkage was awful. Replacing that with the MGW linkage fixed 95% of problems, and it felt really solid. I owned a 2012 and a 13. As far as the handling of the 2011-14 GT, I think you're really overstating the issues. That's actually a very good-handling car. Take it on some back roads and thrash it for awhile. You'll start to appreciate just how balanced the chassis is, and how well-sorted that live axle is. Look at the reviews of the car when it was new. The handling was always rated as being very good.
Completely agree. Also Blowfish Racing makes a support bracket that relocates the shifter directly to the MT82. No more getting locked out of 3rd or 5th for me.
Thank you. Lol mine is very predictable. Albeit I upgraded the chassis and haven't touched the motor, but just a panhard bar and a strut tower brace will completely change the car. Stock chassis likes to flex quite a bit.
No because the RUclips name is now a brand, therefore if you replace the You with Red, it'll end up as every other video streaming page, and people will have a hard time relating RUclips and RedTube as the same brand. Also it is easily understandable why the Red in RedTube serves as a porn page :P
The newer one just looks sporty. And for a "muscle" car. I'd prefer it to look like the last ten. 2013 is the sexiest in my opinion. Not hating on the new one. But it looks less muscle-y. Owned a 2015 and loved it.
As a proud owner of a 2011 Mustang GT i can say: its my absolute dreamcar. I want a Mustang since i was a little child, but the Mustangs a not so usual here in Germany. The new Mustang is far to „europe“. Everything is so...german. When i drive my 2011 Mustang around my town, everyone look at it. Its such an unique feeling, and everthing on this car screams „iconic“. When i want to be driven by a car, i sit in my BMW e61. But when i want to drive a car, my Mustang is the choice. Its absolute no match to the „far to european VI-Generation.
I drove a live axle Mustang for 14 years. Last year I finally upgraded to the new S550 with the IRS, and I swear I don't feel a difference at all when hitting bumps in the new one that I did in the old one for years. The rear still bunny hops. "Ground Speed" is a nod to the Mustang's inspiration, the P51 Mustang airplane. The GT is quieter because, for the first time, the Mustang is being sold worldwide. They had to meet sound requirements in the various countries they sell it in. I personally like my GT to be quieter. Emulating more proper grand touring cars like Aston Martin and BMW coupes was the best thing to happen to Mustang. I remember reading during development of the S550 the engineering team used a BMW 3 series or 5 series (I forget which) as a general benchmark of where they wanted the Mustang to be. This pony is going to see worldwide sales, it needed broader appeal. I like the more elegant presentation of the S550. Everything about it just feels more upscale and less McDonald's drive through. I think Ford did an amazing job taking Mustang to the next level and I hope it gets better from here. Great video. I really liked it.
Your right for did make the 15 way more upscale. Huge BRAKES n ROTORS on front n back. One price DRIVESHAFT. BUT new bodystyle looking exactly like a BMW?? Why not put those BRAKES n DRIVESHAFT on the great STYLING of the S197 and have the best of both world's? Soldout all old school drivers who loved the STANG for all those years even the love REAL AXLE like you said HANDLES GREAT just like independent SUSPENSION. If you had to change it as well. But for you I'm glad you love YOUR new MUSTANG we are all just looking for FORD to keep us all HAPPY. My 7000 MILE race red 2014 mustang convertible I just bought DRILLED N SLOTTED ROTORS AND stopsn HANDLES AWESOME if I need I'll put a two PISTON CALIPERS and be fine. Had a 12 GT DRIVE THE WHEELS OFF OF IT. TRADED IT IN ON THIS ONE. 14. V6 CONVERTIBLE RAN GREAT BUT NO SOUND. NEVER SELL MY ROUSH AND 14 GT 500 convertible after PAYING this one off. Maybey down the road
I've got a 2011 GT Premium Brembo Package, with 87k miles, had .3 miles when I bought it. Absolutely love my Mustang. Fun to drive I've addressed the issues mentioned light mods to suspension and engine to make it produce smooth and put it to the ground power. If well maintained and not abused these are great cars. Blessings
Honestly, I’ve loved the look of every mustang since 2005. The amount of aftermarket and customizing the car to your own liking is amazing. I would honestly want one of each of the past 3 body designs if I could.
Lmao when people say the 2013 and 14 are unpredictable and sloppy and feels like an old muscle car? Yeah that’s exactly why I wanted a 13, I appreciate the technology but I love using my skills when getting on it to keep the car in line. now I appreciate the updated interior for sure but I like the feeling of being on the borderline of out of control.
Never knew you did this review. I actually just traded in my s550 ecoboost for a s197 GT because i wasnt more of a fun muscle car. And honestly, the s550 was such an amazing car, but i couldnt be happier with my obnoxious green 5 liter crowd killer 😂
I looked at the 2015 GTs when I was looking to get into a new car, and ended up leaving the dealership with the car that felt, sounded, and drove better to me: a 2013 BOSS 302. Don't regret it for a second. Interestingly, I did so for all the reasons you cited in the video. The Boss is loud, more raw feeling, and I rather enjoy the planted feeling of the live rear. I have owned multiple IRS fast cars in the past and just can't launch them well. In the Boss, that's not a problem. I'm a fan.
My 2017 GT is as "loud and raw" as any other. If you didnt like the 2015 GT you drove at the dealership, it must have been a V6 or ecoboost. They dont have that loud, raw sound, only the V8s do.
Well 2014 was built in 2013 so no a 2015 mustang is the real 50th year Bc they were built and sold in 2014 even tho been of the next year like every other car ever to be produced by any manufacturer lmao
Best looking Mustang (to me) of all time is the 05-09 S197. I think I’m going to find a mint condition 08 or 09 and enjoy it as a driver.....300hp is plenty for my needs. Down the road maybe find another one for a motor swap for speed.
I feel like everyone is to hard on the live axle. No doubt the IRS is a superior technology with respect to handling. However, I think the less mechanical grib you talk about is more associated with the stock shocks, struts & springs vs the fact that the vehicle has a live axle. The S550 with performance pack has stiffer shocks & struts then the factory s197. I know with my s197, the handling was night & day after I installed shocks, struts & lower springs on it. Just my 2 cents.
+Sean Taylor and if you guys remember. Live Axles on mustangs weren't an issue until car review companies like MotorTrend got ahold of the new camaro and had something to compare it to. People didn't dislike it until another product in the market had something else then everyone hopped on the It's bandwagon.
You're right. Better handling has more to with shocks, struts, springs and other components. Hence why the Boss 302 handles so well out the box. The people that keep pointing to the mustangs live rear axle as if it's the only thing, literally dont know what they're talking about.
+sweetcheels just like everyone was perfectly content with 300hp muscle cars until something came along. The consumer wins when there is competition among firms.
Thanks for taking the time to review both. I have driven the 16' and your comparisons are pretty close to my own experiences. You are correct in wanting a manual with the upgraded premium package as it does make the new gen. a "drivers car". I have also driven the base model 14'GT, and comparing that model with my car which has the Premium Track Pack with 3.73 gears, the difference is very noticeable. As easy as it is to get into trouble with the last gen., I have found that with the upgraded suspension, , brakes and gears, being able to throw the car around with predictability, has become a non issue. Now as a side note.... For all of the good natured ribbing we as owners take with the "Insert Crowd Here" as of late, please remember that not all of us are assholes, and respect the power that we have at our control. That being said all you have to do is look at any videos online and you will find examples of idiots in all makes of vehicles, not being able to control their cars. I actually find it disrespectful and NOT helpful to the car culture as a whole. Just like the Ford vs. Chevy vs. Dodge rivalry that has been going on for decades. Really? It doesn't need to come down to mines better than yours mentality. It should come down to a car culture that is built out of respect for one another, regardless of what you drive. End of rant.
It says ground speed on the speed-o-meter because the Mustang is based of the P-51 Mustang (for those who don't know) so the speed-o-meter is a play of on ground speed and air speed
When it comes to the two mustangs I'd prefer the last gen It just looks and feels more like a legitimate muscle car My dream car is a 2005 to 2009 mustang GT Outdated???? yes likely to break down???? Absolutely But that's the car that introduced me to the mustang and I wouldn't get anything else despite how old it is
Just for the record, you may or may not have known, but the "GROUND SPEED" on the speedometer is a tribute to the WWII mustang fighter plane. Their speedometers said that.
funny you mentioned handling, and even with the live axle, the s197 was just as fast as an M3 of the same year. When it comes to Mustangs, Compared to my 2004 Mustang GT, my 2011 feels more like a sports car but compared to the 2016, my 2011 feels more raw and old school. Each has a lot of charisma and that's what makes a Mustang a Mustang. Still the 2016 GT didn't make want to trade in my 2011. If I could afford a GT350 though, I would do so in a heart beat.
im a 2014 under fan. i dont mind s550s but its not my thing. im a mustang man and in a couple stang clubs in Houston. but s550s are not a big deal for me. and anything 11+ aftermarket wise is pricey. for good parts
Nice review. I still have a crush on my 2011 5.0. I get more of that raw feeling and the need to be more focused with it. But, I'm an old guy whose first Mustang was a 69 351. I still relate to that feeling of having a muscle car that you'd best be paying attention to when you get on the throttle. Excellent video though showing the new model. I have been tempted but have to win the lottery to get what I really want...
I never had trouble getting into 3rd in my 2012 GT. I'd speed shift that shit all day and never grinded once. I admit when I first got the car I had to get use to the transmission but after one day of just cruising around and feeling the gears I loved it!!
Without a doubt, the 2014 looks dramatically better. It's really the last true muscle car Ford's put out. The new ones just look too much like sport cars.
It says "Ground Speed" because 50 years ago when the mustang was created it was named after the airplane p51 Mustang NOT a horse as everyone believes. So it's a tribute to what it's named after.
ever wonder why the Mustang lights have 6 sections..3 on each side? They represent the 6 .50 caliber machine guns on the P-51. At least that's what I remember reading..google may prove me wrong.
I like the look of the 2014 Mustang GT much more than the 15 or 16 GT that looks more like Grampa's Taurus , The interior is much nicer in the new model, The new Mustang is slower 0/60 and 1/4 mile, The new Mustang is not a winner over the 2014, the only thing that is better is the interior, everything else is worse.
this is my favorite review of yours. Thanks. I'm on the fence as whether I made the right decision on trading my premium 12 GT for a premium 15 GT. My 12 felt old school muscle. The 15 feels more luxurious. But who knows with the 2018 coming out with the digital gauges the 15 may be the last gen with the nostalgic going on.
Ford didn't have in mind the thought of maybe removing the rear seats for added grocery space... The rear seats are added to reduce insurance costs. There truly is no room for rear passengers to seat comfortably. And by the way, the Premium GT comes equip with P-Zero tires as well.
I have driven over 10 5.0s from 11-14 and it's a whole different feeling in the clutch and the shifts compared to my 2015 5.0. Everything is more refined
+Imad S manual is always the way to go if you're looking for fun, anyways the paddles seemed quite bad on the newest gen so can't imagine it being better on last gen (if they sell it with option for paddle that is)
***** By all means, nothing wrong with the 11-14 5.0s. Those cars are really great value and will bring you so fun but only only if you get them with 3 pedals. But if you have an opportunity to get a 2015, then drive one and make a choice. Everything is tighter and more quality.
‘Just got my 2016 GT convertible (stick and Performance Pack). I only buy used and pay cash (I do not leverage depreciating assets). Love the car! Stock exhaust is absolutely fine.
sorry I had to head out. Yes seriously, he has not made a video for insurance purposes. When he was doing the Huayra review he let his friend drive her and he crashed. The back end was pretty fucked up. I learned via instagram, but he has since removed the picture for insurance purposes.
I have a 2013 GT and everything you said is spot on, I drove a 2015 GT when they first came out and walked away thinking it felt too much like BMW than a rugged muscle car. Great car don't get me wrong, but I didn't get that raw feeling like i do with my 2013.
I now have a 17' Camaro SS which has been awesome in every way;) Anyway, I had a 2012 brembo GT manual and a 2015 auto S550 GT with the 3.55 gear. Even thought the S550 is overall better; looking back, I liked/miss the 2012 GT much more..
in my honest opinion, the mustangs released in the couple years following the most recent body style change (2005) are the best looking. Every year after that it just keeps getting fatter and rounder. I like the more refined look of the 2005 mustang.
Good review ... wish I saw it a few months ago... I had this dilemma had to choose between a 16 and a 14 convertible... drove both and the convertible put it over the top and it just feels like more of a drivers car...
Still in love with that "old" look
Me too bro

Mark Converso I thought the 13 and the 14 were the same?
2014 is probably my favorite Mustang body style. Beautiful!
Love the 13/14 exterior yet i love the 15/16 interior man..
same here :(

New Mustang tail lights + Old mustang headlights = ultimate.

The old one had a huge diaper butt.. New one looks much lower and wider (and better)..
the 2014 mustang looks way more badass and nice imo id rather have that
Which one is better for running over crowds?
the last gen
The '14.
last generation cuz of the independant suspensions.

But still look amazing
Not As great As 2014 though
Absolutely 100% correct.
Mike Rinaldi you will get use to it
Kevin McMahon didn’t say they didn’t but they don’t look like mustangs
last gen was best gen imo.
Yeeeeeeeessssss
i agree with you
Best body style imo
I used to agree the s550 has got it beat tho
But the gt350 is the best mustang of all time
The 2014 always looked more beefy. The 2016 front looks dull.

I don't get it, can u explain it pls?
3:14
Same i don't understand what exactly happens when a car 'looses a gear'

im a 2014 under fan. i dont mind s550s but its not my thing. im a mustang man and in a couple stang clubs in Houston. but s550s are not a big deal for me. and anything 11+ aftermarket wise is pricey. for good parts
I love my 2012 5.0. Nice video man 👍🏻
Nice review. I still have a crush on my 2011 5.0. I get more of that raw feeling and the need to be more focused with it. But, I'm an old guy whose first Mustang was a 69 351. I still relate to that feeling of having a muscle car that you'd best be paying attention to when you get on the throttle. Excellent video though showing the new model. I have been tempted but have to win the lottery to get what I really want...
Great vid man! Just picked up a 2015 with the perf pack and stick thanks to this vid.
I agree about the difference in the cars. I appreciate how the older ones feel more raw and natural.
new mustang body is like a girl car. i needed more aggressiveness
It's all round. Get a challenger.
Still love the previous gen over the S550
the GT350 or RTR kit for the GT makes it better :)
You must have a vision problem. Go see and eye doctor buddy.
It's like the 2014's older sister.
same guy that fell in love with the 2013 over the 2014. no problem though, ii have a bias as i have the 2014 v8
The 2014 gt has the best rear end of any gt. What were they thinking with the 2016.
"Reoccuring Revenue"
The IRS axle hops like crazy...breaks when you put the power to it.
Spend some more money boyz!
I never had trouble getting into 3rd in my 2012 GT. I'd speed shift that shit all day and never grinded once. I admit when I first got the car I had to get use to the transmission but after one day of just cruising around and feeling the gears I loved it!!
Without a doubt, the 2014 looks dramatically better. It's really the last true muscle car Ford's put out. The new ones just look too much like sport cars.
Love my 2013 Boss302 test drove a 2016gt manual think I am sticking with my boss for a very long time.
Lori Calato You have a Boss? You're so damn lucky.
yea I'll go with the 2014
It says "Ground Speed" because 50 years ago when the mustang was created it was named after the airplane p51 Mustang NOT a horse as everyone believes. So it's a tribute to what it's named after.
ever wonder why the Mustang lights have 6 sections..3 on each side? They represent the 6 .50 caliber machine guns on the P-51. At least that's what I remember reading..google may prove me wrong.
Then why is the logo a horse
*does super badass burnout, video about mustangs*
*plays some soft acoustic guitar music*
Dave Mustaine oh Dave are you drunk again??
Lol just watch his facial expressions in both cars. He smiles a lot more in the 14. Smiles more than I do in mine.
I like the look of the 2014 Mustang GT much more than the 15 or 16 GT that looks more like Grampa's Taurus , The interior is much nicer in the new model, The new Mustang is slower 0/60 and 1/4 mile, The new Mustang is not a winner over the 2014, the only thing that is better is the interior, everything else is worse.
fair review, depends on taste. The 2014, has the LOOK!
This channel lacks Audi content... It would be awesome if you did more audi vidz bc I really like your reviews!
We should do some more audis for sure. However if you search we have done quite a few. A3, S4, S5, A7, A8L, R8
Thanks Parker, you're a great dude.
That one audi that had the v10 was amazing. I forget the name but it was a v10 4 door and it was older
Audi S6 (C6)
A6 3.0T Premium Plus (C7)
Please
this is my favorite review of yours. Thanks. I'm on the fence as whether I made the right decision on trading my premium 12 GT for a premium 15 GT. My 12 felt old school muscle. The 15 feels more luxurious. But who knows with the 2018 coming out with the digital gauges the 15 may be the last gen with the nostalgic going on.
The new one will still annihilate crowds just the same 😂
Ford didn't have in mind the thought of maybe removing the rear seats for added grocery space... The rear seats are added to reduce insurance costs. There truly is no room for rear passengers to seat comfortably. And by the way, the Premium GT comes equip with P-Zero tires as well.
anyone else hear the bald eagle screaming merica?
Nope, these are mustangs, not camaros
+Tim Vernak lmao I'm pretty sure the mustang is way more American. they started the muscle/pony car wars anyway soooooo.
+Matt Campbell The started the pony car.. GTO and Chevelle were the true start of muscle cars. But the vette still rules them all.
+Ishliss2012 the vettes not a muscle car
Evvvvverybody complains about the "Ground Speed." It's because of the car's history with the P-51 Mustang.
I like the new Stang. Camaro not so much.
If the 2014 had the interior of a 2015+ , I’d make the decision to go 2014 in a heartbeat .
I have driven over 10 5.0s from 11-14 and it's a whole different feeling in the clutch and the shifts compared to my 2015 5.0. Everything is more refined
Would you recommend buying a used 11-14 GT with a stick? If so what should I look out for? Seems like you're the perfect guy to ask lol
+Imad S manual is always the way to go if you're looking for fun, anyways the paddles seemed quite bad on the newest gen so can't imagine it being better on last gen (if they sell it with option for paddle that is)
Fearzzy That is mostly the case (except for some DCT cars) but I was asking him because the stick has notorious issues
***** i don't think there is a DCT that is more fun than manuals, that has to be a very special car
***** By all means, nothing wrong with the 11-14 5.0s. Those cars are really great value and will bring you so fun but only only if you get them with 3 pedals. But if you have an opportunity to get a 2015, then drive one and make a choice. Everything is tighter and more quality.
‘Just got my 2016 GT convertible (stick and Performance Pack). I only buy used and pay cash (I do not leverage depreciating assets). Love the car! Stock exhaust is absolutely fine.
Dam 5th view. Love the vid Keep it up! also hopefully good news on candice soon to come
Thank you! I hope so too
what happened to her we haven't seen her in forever
+Phil H crashed
+Lamp__Post wait seriously how come he didn't make a video and what happened and how do u know
sorry I had to head out. Yes seriously, he has not made a video for insurance purposes. When he was doing the Huayra review he let his friend drive her and he crashed. The back end was pretty fucked up. I learned via instagram, but he has since removed the picture for insurance purposes.
It'll be interesting to see what happens with this S550 Mustang. The previous gen was definitely memorable.
What do you think about 2018/19
I have a 2013 GT and everything you said is spot on, I drove a 2015 GT when they first came out and walked away thinking it felt too much like BMW than a rugged muscle car. Great car don't get me wrong, but I didn't get that raw feeling like i do with my 2013.
Still think the 2014 looks so much has better than the 2016. Love that body style.
From what i heard the reason why the new GT's are quiet is because of the European market
WTF man that's a fucking lie
+billy heaton hey i said thats what i heard. Never said i was right
+billy heaton actually since the mustang is a world car now it does have to meet all restrictions world wide!
braddfordy And that's not why either lol
Then why is it then?
whos cares about mpg when your driving a v8 lol
I love the new car a lot, definitely a great look, but the 2014 looks soooooo awesome, one of the best looking cars in my opinion.
anyone else read a comment you disagree with and get sort of hot headed. then immediately realize everyone has different opinion and relax
@Jonah M. "This is RUclips. You must be new here." Most underrated comment I've ever seen.
I just got the 2016 GT Automatic with the PS...I love it...Love the performance and power...Thanks for your Video...Enjoyed
The reason no one was killed in this video was because there was no crouds
right, crowds.
Idiot. Go back to school and learn to spell.
love the solid rear, in a tight seat belt u feel one with the car, MUSCLE defently goes to the 2014
OLD = TRUE MAN CAR
NEW = PICKY MILLENIAL TEENAGER CAR
Fuel Fire Desire what u said wan not what a real man would say
Teenagers aren’t even millennials
My neighbor is 63 years old and he get a 2017 gt. 5.0
Naw I'm a freshman and I've been saving for either the new edges gt or the 2005-2007 mustangs
I now have a 17' Camaro SS which has been awesome in every way;)
Anyway, I had a 2012 brembo GT manual and a 2015 auto S550 GT with the 3.55 gear. Even thought the S550 is overall better; looking back, I liked/miss the 2012 GT much more..
i still prefer the old one :) :)
in my honest opinion, the mustangs released in the couple years following the most recent body style change (2005) are the best looking. Every year after that it just keeps getting fatter and rounder. I like the more refined look of the 2005 mustang.
5th gen for muscle , 6th gen for sport
I have a 2013 and absolutely love it! It’s a true muscle car. I’ve driven the newer ones, not impressed enough to trade mine in on one tho.
Ford needs to put a Tremec 6-speed in their Mustangs.
They do in the GT350 but yeah they need to put em in GT's too.
Ikr!

Ive waited quite some time for someone to make this review
Do a 5th gen vs 6th gen Camaro SS
Excellent review man, nailed it
Once you upgrade the exhaust, it shoots bald eagles out the tailppipe
I was looking for a new daily driver and new gen is definitely worth considering. I'll be test driving one soon! Thanks for the informative video!
Scary? 5:24 Maybe you should stick to the Fiesta.
Good review ... wish I saw it a few months ago... I had this dilemma had to choose between a 16 and a 14 convertible... drove both and the convertible put it over the top and it just feels like more of a drivers car...
2013 looks a lot nicer and more American
I had one, didnt like it but it looked cool
AudioSlave Mustang wasn't a muscle car anymore when they ditched the live axle
Sean Kosari 2014 GT 500 is what im after
AudioSlave good choice!
I love the 14 because it looks like a Stang is supposed to look
GT350>S197>S550
I don't like the base S550 but the GT350 is my favorite mustang.
XxLevegencexX yes... someone had to say it.
Been waiting for someone to compare these 2
Hey Parker!
