I bought a 2015 C 300 yesterday. In the showroom they had a black c 63s and the salesman started it for me and engaged the sports exhaust. Man it was the great. Now I know why you love yours so much.
Indeed :)
Personally I think it looks way better 👌 makes me happy that it has the valve system 👍, great video mike left a thumbs up my friend
Sounds brilliant, long live the V8!
Yes sir !
I am a person who loves attention to detail and from my driving experience the new 18 Mustang is not a small improvement, its a BIG improvement over the s550 gen in in almost every manner
1. Engine,
I felt the 15-17 s550 weak under 3500 rpm, the new 460 Di 5.0 has significantly more torque at 2200-2500 revs, so while driving in 4th gear at 50 mph, a kick down will give more punch and acceleration than the 435 hp one in 15-17 GT,I also noticed that the 5.0 of Ford revs slightly faster than the GM 6.2 V8, it easily passes 4000 rpm with slight dab on throttle while the GM 6.2 is slightly more lazy to rev, also I will mention this, its still not as strong as the GM 6.2 V8 between 2500-4500 rpm, but the thing is if we put pedal to metal post 6000 rpm the GM looses steam and becomes harsh and tinny and more sound but less progress while the 460 5.0 pulls harder and harder till 7000 rpm, so the GT although has a slight disadvantage at lower rpms it more than makes up for it in the last 1000 rpm,
2. Sound, no competition here the new 5.0 now sounds as good as the other 2 V8s, ie Hemi and the 6.2 of GM, 1 thing I didnt like is while cruising at 6th gear at 55 mph, I heard too much drone from Ford V8, I didnt expect this much drone from a DOHC Di 5.0,
3. All s550 and s550 460 HP GTs weigh more than 3800 lbs, so its not a light car, the Camaros definitely are lighter, but despite being heavy the new Mustangs feel as fast as the 6.2 Camaros, all hail that monster new 5.0 V8 of Ford, its truly an epic motor.
4. Interior , exterior, SYNC 3, all are better than 15-17 s550s
5. The new transmission , its definitely better, in regular drives the difference isnt apparent , but drive it hard and the shifts at higher rpm feel as smooth as ones it lower rpm, in 15-17s the shifts at higher rpms leaves behind a big jerk and pushes driver back to seat uncomfortably, new transmission does take out this jerk a lot and feels like a smooth nudge back into seats, also down shifts happen faster with better rev matching than 15-17 s550,I feel this new 6 speed MT is definitely better than rivals manual transmissions
6. I had a 30 mile test drive and the car I drove had 2200 miles on it, and I was observing MID calculated 24 mpg at 50 mph cruise in 6th gear, true it might be around 20-21 mpg if we do manual testing, but still I feel better than 15-17 s550 that stood at 19-20 mpgs at same cruising speeds
7. Dynamically too the new Mustang felt better, even the base versions had slightly firmer damping and better ABS calibration, also the nose dive felt improved while braking probably due to lower hood and car in general felt more willing to counter under steer unlike s550 which had more under steer built into it probably for safety reasons as new Mustang is a global car, new 1 is better here as well, its slightly more wild and thats how a Mustang should be.
yes but Mustang V8's are no AMG V8's.
Daniel Sadjadian sadly V8's will be gone from production in another few, 2-3 year's. As will the privilege to drive be gone by 2025 qwhen half the world population is supposed to disappear/die off, etc.
Idiotic!
Awesome job Mike!!!!! Your less than 10k subs away from hitting 250k subscribers!!!!! Keep up the great work brother!!!!!
Thanks bud !
The 2018 Ford Mustang is one good looking car. Unfortunately the facelift doesn't go on sale here in the UK until early Spring. Can't wait to test drive the 5.0 GT though 💪
Very meaningful, driver-focussed review with perfect sound transmission - thank you!
I have a love/hate relationship with the convertible. I put on the right side (passenger side) structural support brace that is under the car. They're a lot of work and when they come down the line every 3rd or 4th car they can be a pain in the ass. But people love them and buy them so that's why we build so many so it keeps us working.
I'm glad you like it.. thanks for the good review.
Hey man, just wanted to say great job on your content. It's fantastic, I hope you have a long a lucrative future ahead of you on this channel
Thanks ! Appreciate the kind words !
Can’t wait to get mine!😩
Nice job with the many uploads Mike!
The video I've been waiting for!
I’m loving the reviews!
Proud owner of a 2018 kona blue 6 speed GT It's one of the most fun cars i've ever owned! power on demand and torque for days
Love the channel dude! Just started mine finally
Thanks !
you can review my 10speed AUTO 2018 Mustang GT, if you need a 10speed to review, great review
EcoBeast so why didn't you get a manual?
EcoBeast thanks for dropping this comment. I'm obviously not the content creator, but I think it's awesome for the content community to come together like this.
konawolv sure brother
Endless Roadie cuz Auto = cheat codes 😎
EcoBeast because America and to lazy to push a pedal and push or pull a stick...
I do like the red seats!
Awesome video Mike as always!👍 Happy Thanksgiving man!
Great video by the way :)
Thanks !
Such a beautiful car, love the digital dash
Love your videos mike! I get excited every day when I see your uploads lol, I want this car extremely bad! Owning a gt350 is my dream car just like your Mercedes, hopefully some day! For a plain GT that is an awesome upgrade all around for the 17's!
Happy thanksgiving. Have a fab time. Always love your videos..always part of the auto vlog family 😁
Thanks man 👊
happy thanksgiving keep up the great vlogs
Cool instrument cluster! 12 inches of electronic bliss.
Luv the dash!!
Such a good looking car.
Hello from Australia !!!! These Mustangs are goin off over here !!!! Aussies luv em !!!
And only have to wait until approx mid 2018 to get the 2018 model yay!!!
will always love the Stangs!
I miss all the Ford videos. Glad to see all of them over the past week.
Love the paint!
Being in Moon Township I knew exactly where you were driving. It's cool that you were less than a mile from me.
Love your channel
Watching from Namibia and really enjoying your videos!
Thank you !
AutoVlog it's a pleasure.
The gauges are so cool, they definitely hit it out of the park with that.
Happy thanksgiving to everyone
Great video! Thank you for your entertainment.
Hey Mike! Great review! I figured with a six speed manual and 10 speed auto the Mustang would get a little better gas mileage. Not a bad car for the price. I'm holding out for the Cobra...dreaming more like it...
i love how you blew that stop sign at about 8:50
Hehe...License and registration plz 👮🏼🤧😩
THUG LIFE! :)
Mike😊 keep up the good work!
Woo fresh content!!!
Great video! Greetings from Estonia :)
I can't wait to buy mine!
Wait that car does 0-69 in 3.9 secs lol, that as fast as your $82k AMG and it’s $30k less? Hysterically, all these rwd cars are the same speed now , even a scatpack charger is like 4.1 secs to 60. I LOVE IT. $45k too
Those are Ford's numbers, that Mustang is awesome but does not feel as fast as my AMG, it all comes down to tires and traction though :)
AutoVlog Absolutely- For me personally once you go above 400 hp , it’s better to have awd!! Tires have come a long way... my pops has a golf r stage 1 - that car is fast, and putting its power down , also how something feels maybe different than the numbers in my experience
LegendInThaMakin yes the golf r is fun and not true 4wd, the new BMW M550 HAS AWD THAT YOU CAN TURN OFF... but for me it’s the power band and off the line acceleration , I’m not drifting . People can say a Tesla isn’t fun but every time you smash the electron pedal a big smile opens ear to ear
Gorilla Toyz the 3.9 are allegedly the auto numbers; not sure if the 6-speed is quite as quick.
Chad Clark good point but still, if that’s accurate, that’s a great performance value cos tuning it will cost a 1/4 of an AMG engine mod.
I have a 2018gt premium great video
wow great review for this car 2018 ford mustang GT... like it
its a really nice car but I still like where the computer screen is on my G37 Coupe. up high on the dash so quick peaks at it doesn't totally prevent me from losing sight of the road.
Still, this Mustang is cool and that 4 sec 60 spring is impressive.
I bought a 2018 Mustang GT Manufacturer's Buyback with only 2,063 miles, for $19,500 off sticker. Still has the remainder of the original warranty. Engine seized in less than 500 miles, but Ford replaced it with a "Service Engine" meaning the new engine was only missing the intake and exhaust manifolds. Runs great, looks great at a price that is acceptable. Equipment Group 400A, Adaptive Cruise Control, Active Valve Performance Exhaust, Safe & Smart Package with Adaptive Cruise Control With Blind Spot and Cross-Traffic Alert. In addition it has Performance Package 1, Recaro Leather Seats, Enhanced Security Package and Voice-Activated Touchscreen Navigation System.
Im glad that your enjoying your c63s! You deserve it!!
I’m pleased that you’ve maintained a relationship with Moon TWP... everybody WINS, Mike!!👊
Saw it in person. I don't like the front end. The 2017 was perfectly fine. New front end looks kind of like a elephant snout or something.
Will Motivation agreed. Ive got a 17
It would be sweet if AutoVlog and Will Motivation did a collaboration video and reviewed each other’s car.
Me too - wish I could have the 10 speed in the 2017 body.
You can't keep the same look that's how you get left behind
I agree but only if the new looks BETTER. Change for the sake of change is lame.
nice vid man
Happy Thanksgiving Mike. That’s the same HP as my Vette! I drove a GT manual a couple years ago...It was fun, but I was underwhelmed! Still, I do like the Mustang GT. 👍
Wow, nice looking car. Beautiful.
The front end is beautiful.
We love it😍🔥
This video makes the car look a lot better than the pictures.
My 1st Mustang in 69' after getting out of the ARMY, was a 1965 convert... Couldn't afford a Used Vet and this just had a 289 in it but it was a nice Fun Car and the GF and her GF's Loved Borrowing it to go to the Beach and shopping..Ahhh, the Good Ol'Days! Enjoy Life the best you can. It don't last long..!
Thnks for u r great vedeo...👍👍👍
Love mustang so much...😍😍😍
the go pro cam was a bit shaky but the only thing I would have liked to see more of was the computer functions on the center console.
That was hilarious seeing 74 MPH in a 45! LOVED IT!!!!!!!!!!
Wow. That's soooo much nicer!
They shouldn’t make any convertible mustangs they don’t look nice. sounds good though
Maybe, but they are a lot of fun. Depends on the climate where you live though
Once you put the top down it outshines the fastback. Well worth the extra cost.
I'm renting a convertible for the extra noise
I love my GT convertible with manual transmission. Top down under the stars. Working the gears. Nothing else matters in that moment.
The new edge body style was better with a rag top. I mean the new edge looked good with a rag top, the hardtop was better looking overall.
Damn that V8 is a great sound!
thx for the information
Love the majority of changes to the 2018. Not sure if I can get past the video game dash and the tiny fog lights.
That new 5.0 Coyote Gen 3 engine sound real nice and produce some good power compared to previous stock GT mustangs.
Greetings from Chile!
The heated steering wheel catches fire
55 grand for a 5.0? I’ll just get a used Shelby 350
XCVI Mac exactly..
Heck, even with 55k you can get a 2014 Mustang GT500 or even a Terminator Cobra and have still have money.
@@rick-hj3jg Or dont get leather , upgrade stereo active exhaust, 19 inch wheels with Michelin pilot sport tires, magnaride suspension and all the other options the older Mustangs dont have and get one for $33-35k new . A used terminator is about 20-25k , you can get a used s550 for that money and it is better in every possible measure of performance.
Not to mention a full warranty and picking the car you want.
awsome video
Sick car
You should have tested a 10 speed automatic to see what that is like. I know the manual is better but it would have been cool to see the 10 speed.
6speed manual much better softer clutch and shifts alot better and no noise reduced does not shift or feel like the 15 to 17 GT!!!! One thing I do like about the GT theese guys saying on here are over inflated in my area pp and premium around here 39 to 42 grand plus I just bought one and was able to get sync 3 and active exhaust system which included mycolors and drive options almost like last years premium without the leather love it. Cost was 33200 with 6speed manual. On the lot they had a Kona blue base gt 6speed for 30 grand.
recaros are perfect for daily driving since they are comfortable
Need to drive a 18 for sure....always been underwhelmed with the lack of torque in the previous years
Do one vlog with your family too dude. Maybe you can do some amg driving reactions videos too dude
I would love to but my wife does not want to be on camera lol
Nice car 😍😍
cupholders are in the way of stickshift; elbows hit the cups
Love the new front fascia... But Ford really needs to refresh it's interior designs. I love the classic mustang steering wheel... But everything else inside the car needs a severe design haul along with the center console and screen. Good driving review. !
I see the front fascia and immediately think Jaguar. The droop in the grille was proven to be a significant aerodynamic advantage so that's a little different but the scoops in the corners also really scream Jag to me.
Engine sound 👌👌👌👌
2 stroke for motorcycle and v8 for cars is the best combination ✌️✌️
2018 mustang 5.0 piston slap recall look it up it can help you in the near future (I work for ford)
I was so on edge about getting the GT Fastback but shush now I really want this instead of the STI Subaru LOL
How was your experience first driving a stick?
i like the way u review no fucking around, subbed
Good Video!!
Thanks !
Really wish i could have this as my bday gift.
I want a mustang but the 10 speed sounds so sexc and the manual is fun for full control.
Happy thanksgivin
Angel Cruz Perez thanksgiving
I"m not celebrating Thanksgiving but I hope it would be great for everyone.
3.9 sec 0-60 is from the 10 Speed Auto
I don't know Mike but I kinda prefer the older generation, the front end surely looks more aggressive but it looks like a Z4 on the side which I don't like haha.
Great fallow up review on the 2018 mustang like see a video on the 10 speed auto. Any ford updates on new #ford #ranger for 2019 would be great?!!
My stock eclipse will do 60 in 2nd too ;)
Hey around 6:29 who noticed the scenery skipped ahead when he said " there's a subtle quickness you didn't notice "
Dam this and the koenigsegg Agera r are my dream cars.
Pretty cool. Not really into digital readouts. They can go bad in later years. Maybe they make them better nowadays, kind of like the LED lights. Who knows? I'm good with my analog. Cool car though. Back when I got my 2014 that model was just about to be replaced by the 2015. Here we are 3 and a half years later with the 2018. Mustangs have certainly changed a bit.
Mustang 2018 look nice and we all the extra like some tech from the Shelby get 350 for the price good option, and nice go pro! Review on Ecoboost and see what they do ahead previous 2017, and great videos.
I love the Mustang
why no C63 update ? Has it been raining ?
Excellent Video! One question I have is I am from the North East and I know you said that the Mustang isn't a winter car.
I really can't be carrying two cars financially, so with that being said is it more realistic to scratch my dream car off my list or can it work year round even in the north east winters? (BTW, I want the convertible!) Thanks again.
