Y'all gotta keep in mind, he's not big money like all these other youtubers we're used to seeing.. He's working with what he has and I personally think the content is as interesting and cool as he can make it without going broke for it.
He's big enough money to run through so many cars and mod them especially at such a young age.
For real... 8 cars since he could drive... he's like 21 or 22.. i'm on my 4th car and i literally just got it in May and i'm 31 lol.
Kabloosh RaceRed302 Do y’all not understand his vehicles are for his Channel, and if he kept one vehicle for more then a year it would be pretty boring content. He has to switch it up every now and again, even if it’s fast timing
What ( ͠° ͟ʖ ͡°)
“Unless I get into a wreck.” Next video- The Mustang is totaled.
Pony Ride S550 🤣🤣
He'll get into a "wreck" as a coverup to change cars lol.
they're not brembo's on the 4 piston brakes. They're co-developed by ford and continental.
Only negative of owning a mustang is everyone and there mother has one. The plus everyone and there mother has one and there’s parts everywhere for any year mustang
That can be a positive as well
yeah everyone driving around the damn ecoboost/V6 mustangs. IMO Mustang should only come with the V8!!
GOW buying a v6 mustangs like kissing your sister it ain’t right
@@TechGuy893 TRUE SHOULD BE V8 ONLY
@@TechGuy893 Ford wouldn't make any money like that genius not everybody can afford a high as V8
Riley, keep doing your thing brother. You do what you need to do to suit your situation. You're one of the most genuine dudes on RUclips, regardless of which car you're piloting. Mustang is lookin' good mang! Love the color on the calipers! Lookin' forward to following your progress. Take care -Rob
You're going to sell this thing before the year ends

@@letsgotomarsman Even though clearly his viewers do get interestest enough to watch videos on a car for more than a years worth by the comments asking where his other cars went.
LetsGoToMarsMan guy everyone wanted the corvette build to go on so he could race at events and have a high horse power car, but no, this is his down fall, switching cars when he hasn’t even had them a year, ooooh and usually the only things he does to them is , springs, exhaust, leds, tint, black out chrome pieces, and uummmmmmm paint protection, and what else am I missing?
IMHO, if this is your daily driver, I would not mod it to the point of voiding your warranty. Save your dollars for the new house and the Viper dream.
Ford fixes the audio system in 19 with a killer 12 speaker B&O system
You sold the Corvette to get a more practical car, wound up with two doors instead of four, and now you're talking about going E85 (bye-bye warranty, and you're going to need it with the MT-82)?
Sell that thing, get a Charger SRT for the multi-mode suspension (unless they have that on the Scat Pack also now), and keep the best family car ever, forever.
You're a good guy, RP, and you make good videos, but just get another Charger already. It's going to happen. I had a 2016 Charger Scat Pack in B5 Blue, and I still want to kick myself in the face every day for saying goodbye to it. 💯
Why did you get rid of your Charger Scat pack?
@@floridamaddogg Bought a house. Loan officer ended up misquoting our house payment somehow, so I could have kept the car. Truck lease is half the payment.

Scatpack was a very nice car
@@mannyaguilar7331 scatpack IS a very nice car.
But everyone else has a McLaren 720s
It’s like trying out all the chicks you can before you decide to marry one. Hopefully you do find a car you’ll be loyal to in the future. I give you tops, 6 months before you find something else you want. Honestly, you should’ve stayed with the hellcat. This is from a hardcore Mustang guy. I do like what you’ve done so far with the stang.
It’s like hooking up with a Fat Chick for the winter months to keep you warm

LetsGoToMarsMan And I personally think it’s cool to see the same person’s perspective between all the different cars
Hey Riley, gotta say I’m glad you grabbed a ‘18 Mustang GT, I was in the same position about two months ago and ended up buying a 2019 GT over a 2018 solely for the active rev match feature.
Can’t wait to see what your car will run in the quarter mile. I had mine to the track last weekend but could only manage a best of 13.1@110 on a crappy 2.24 60’.
Corsa Extreme? I’m planning on doing long tubes, x pipe and Corsa Extreme. Loud pipes save lives after all ;) keep up the great work my friend! Cheers
Still not sure why everybody hates on the stock exhaust. I actually like it, I'm also coming out of a Wrangler with Flowmaster Offroad cat-backs so maybe I just really missed hearing a V8 on the daily :D
There’s no fuckn way it came out to “just over 30” out the door, track packs are hitting over 40 no problem on 18/19 models
Damn Riley. I got my rt Charger around the same time you got your only that you’ve had 6 bad ass cars after that. Good job bro keep it up 👍🏽
“I won’t sell it in 3 months”....2 months later...sells the mustang
Better than owning a Prius or a smart car
It’s no Fiat 500 🔥
I don’t mind the ride height, clears most parking lot stoppers and curbs for parking.
Honestly the only thing I don't like about it is the headlights I like the 2015-2017 way better
Amen
I feel you on the road noise, I used to own a 2015 mustang GT and when I lowered it and changed the wheels on it the road noise was the most noticeable thing, but aye you can't keep a car stock 😂
randy perez I mean, you can keep a car stock..
Btw, pp1, a10 is the way to go with the mustang. For drivability...
it looks like a catfish from the front
VegasRobzilla nah that’s a 90’s Camaro lmfao
I’m offended
Spot on,just needs whiskers lol
That's exactly what I thought
yea it really does lol. this new body style is a no go for me. last one i liked was the 2014. this and the fbody camaro look like fish from the front.
Man this mustang is gorgeous. I love the way you have it almost making me regret getting my camaro. Especially because of the lower cost
I hope you haven't experienced the infamous "typewriter tick", as Ford calls it, in which you may need to get a short block replacement. Also, if you have the 6-speed manual(MT-82) be careful about banging the gears. Many owners are losing their 3rd to 4th gear shift because of bent aluminum shift forks. I think there's a Ford TSB and maybe a fix on that.
Should of got a 2019 with full digital dash
Every car you have owned are one's I wish I did. That is what makes this channel great. I hope this channel will afford you that 5th gen Viper in the future. Keep the videos coming!
Next video: how much did I pay for it?!?
Next one after that: Crazy loud (thumbnail with him covering his ears at the rear of the car)
Remember when Riley had a charger rt no just me?
Ronald Jones Jr. Lmao😂😂😂
Next one after that: '' Why I'm ALREADY selling the Mustang GT....''
@@TechGuy893 dang I missed that one 😂
Yep it was black
Facts
I’m sorry Riley, I can no longer resist. Not the fastest? Dude, this car is faster then most of the cars u have owned. Sounds like you’re already setting us up for a trade in. I don’t get u man. Stop winning.
Bro.. This car is slower than the Hellcat, 1LE SS, C6 GS and his Scat pack. It is undoubtedly one of the slowest vehicles he has owned
Exhaust, Maybe a front lip and some side skirts and enjoy it, Tire letters may look good on this color combo. and get the Viper!
401a with shaker pro or a 19 with b&o audio would have solved your complaints. Magnaride would have solved interior rattling and performance pack would have solved back road performance. All in all you have a great car. Enjoy it and mod it.
And how much extra does all that crap cost?
Spare parts not sure I would use the word crap, but whatever, totally depends on how it’s spec’d
@@spareparts7630
45 to 50k
I can tell u my 17 GT Prem PP doesn't rattle at all...maybe something is loose. Mustangs are absolutely awesome AND my ProCharger D1X has been unreal since, like most people know, the Coyote motors LOVE boost. Enjoy.
Corsa headers and Exhaust with black tips , JLT intake , ported intake manifold , plus some e85 will be the best bang for your buck mods you will gain a lot of power 500whp+ in N/A coyote will be a lot of fun to drive i hope you see this comment good luck bro
Hey go to the sound settings on the infotainment system then set it to surround sound! Should fix the problem
Next video: " carmax appraisal"
It's not a flop. You're just mad you fucked up and dont have the Performance pack...
My buddy has a 2017 dodge truck, and omfg, the sound system is crazy good! Hard to believe its a stock system!
You need to put bigger calipers on the rear, those look like smart car calipers ?
Sound system... usually updating the speakers and adding a good amp will make all the difference. As far as tire noise, try having a fresh alignment done. My alignment sucked from the dealership. I had it checked at Firestone and it was way off.
Should’ve got the 401a cluster it makes a huge difference
should have just kept the hellcat. Perfect daily and insanely fast.
DevPack also massively heavy as fuck. Unless you want to drive a 10,000 pound boat around lol
DevPack Do y’all not understand his vehicles are for his Channel, and if he kept one vehicle for more then a year it would be pretty boring content. He has to switch it up every now and again, even if it’s fast
Well buying a mustang GT is not really gonna help lol. There are soo many youtubers with a ton of content on this car already. They are nice cars, but not really entertaining to watch videos on (unless they are crashing into things).
@@milleniallgt9715 That "boat" is still one of the fastest things out there.
Jorge Rubalcaba not really, there’s a ford dealership that sells 800hp whipple supercharged 18 mustangs for 40k it will smoke a dodge demon and hellcats all day. There working on a 900hp one too.
Ford Lebanon performance look em up.
He would do so much better if he kept the corvette or Camaro, he coulda gone to call outs with a modified car instead of just a stock car with cosmetic mods
Young Sperm RaceRed302 Do y’all not understand his vehicles are for his Channel, and if he kept one vehicle for more then a year it would be pretty boring content. He has to switch it up every now and again, even if it’s fast timing
Kooks long tubes, pmas cold air, ported stock intake manifold, lund e85 tune and yes depending on the dyno 500whp is achievable... i am happy with the stock sound system on the car 🤷♂️ once you want good sound turn off the radio and listen to that coyote!
Good video. I have a '18 Ecoboost, mag grey, black acct. pkg, no mods. The base stereo sucks, was going to upgrade but decided not to. What exactly do you find lacking in your stereo? As for rattles, yes, the interior is a bit moody in mine, a couple of buzzes occasionally. Previously I had a 2010 Chev Malibu Platinum which was loaded, nice car and not a rattle ever. It had 90,000 miles.
And yes those continental’s are known for that especially the summer ones the al weather are much better
I do like the color of the caliper paint you selected. Again, just the right amount of detail in your mods.
since you went with the grenade-82. yes lol. if it was a 10 speed it'd be impressive
what do the high-school kids think when you always pull up to their party's in a new car
I misread the thumbnail as "flip or not?" Wasn't surprised
Don't you have the Shaker speaker system or the Bose? Be very careful about exaggerating your points or dislikes about these cars. You don't wanna sound like a quack and mess up your credibility when you review these cars. We are counting on you guys' reviews when we make decisions to purchase. Nonetheless, between the Challenger, Camaro ZL1 and the Mustang GT, which one would you rate as having the best overall package and best for the buck?
Should’ve kept the 1LE
Next video: "Why I am selling the Ford Mustang." 😏
Every month there's a different car. Dude you have an addiction to trading and selling cars.
Pre-wrap hellcat was definitely the best looking car you've owned, followed extremely closely by the scat pack.
The ACR theme on the Challenger was gorgeous. I couldn't believe he took it off.
Make sure not to shift it to hard, might break the weak shift forks, and god knows what else.
yeah only god
Did they fix that for the 2019 model year? I know it's an issue on 2018s, hence why they are so discounted and big red flag.
Florida Maddogg no they didn’t change anything with the transmission in the 2019
@@thesadzebra that's not good then
Florida Maddogg I know Ford is stupid and won’t even acknowledge it
Lol you’re getting so much hate since you got the mustang and in your earlier videos you seemed liked the mustang wasn’t up to par. But you got one. There good cars and everyone always hates on something good.
The front reminds me of a ford fusion now :(
Your car didn't come with a monster truck stance. None of the gen6 Mustangs come with that anymore. You put smaller diameter wheel and tire setup than factory. If you would have put the performance package size wheels and tires you wouldn't have had so much fender gap. You also would have less rattling in your car because you wouldn't need to lower it and get a rougher ride. Anytime, I've lowered a mustang it becomes a rougher ride and more road noise. I also have those continentals and love them. However, I have noticed that they can be a little noisy on concrete. All that being said, I do like it and it looks really nice!
I have the Shaker audio package in my 17 GT Premium and it's pretty great so I'm not sure what the issue is with your car.
"That Guy....." The type of guy who still has a temp tag on this NEW car and already talking about the next one....SMH. Should be get a bet going on if he keeps this car "for at least the next year"?

It's a great value because you probably got one of the last few '18 GT'S on dealer lot. This is a 40+ thousand dollar car. Earlier this year I picked up my 301A base car for 32k. I thought I was stealing the car at the time.
Should have waited. You could get the base next year for 26k. Found a 17 base earlier this year 6spd in silver for 25k.
@@karlhopkins713 I didn't have that option. It's a base GT with the 301A and black accent package. MSRP was 40 and change. I'm still happy with 8k off with rebate and dealer incentives. The base base model was 30k.
“The greatest thing since sliced bread “ wow 😂
You should’ve purchased the performance pack. I traded my 16 gt for an 18 gt pp. it makes a huge difference in handling. I also had the conti contact tires. They’re great all season tires but stink compared to the Michelin tires
Brotherly advice, dont spend much on it keep it stock , save money for furture, u have to get married, house , a job ,,, and eventually u will be getting rid of it, for ur dream car viper, u have other commitments and priorities, then just working on this gt car modification,,it wont make u happy even aftr dojng those modification,,have fun later kn with ur viper

Say goodbye to your 20.3 mpg when you do E85.
What was your favorite car you have owned and why? Would you recommend the scatpack or ss? Charger or challenger?
20MPG, i don't know how u made it up. most of the stang owners are around 16mpg
I have and 18 gt and I average 21 mpg lol
@@KingKalidor depending on how u drive it, if u drive it like a leaf, then possibly u can get around that number, also whether u have a tune on ur stang, I don't care about the MPG, just mod and drive the shit out of it. Otherwise i will just get a hybrid, end of story
That’s so freakin true if you see the good in every car, all of a sudden you broaden your horizons!!!! Love the Mustang man she’s so badass!! Hell yea Murica’!!💪🏻🇺🇸
I had a 2012 Camaro SS with the Extremecontacts and they were pretty quite. Leagues better than the factory P Zeros which would drone so loud that I couldn't have my car over it before my headers. I also had Firestone Firehawks which were awesome
I love the 18 mustang!
I absolutely love the GT 350R
Malco S don’t mention the magnificent Shelby GT350R in the same breath as that GT
T U lol ok even tho i took a 350r at a stoplight race, not saying the 350 is a bad car, its overall better than the 5.0, but dont degrade the 2018 5.0 its a monster
Mentality, I couldn’t care less if the 18 A8 GT Out accelerates a 6M Shelby GT350, TRUST me! That 18 GT isn’t in the same class ass the 350. Go “DRIVE” a Shelby GT350, then come back here, & tell me your HONEST thoughts. I guarantee you, you won’t be talking about goofy stuff like 0-60, 1/4mile ET, etc..
T U I know what you mean, as I stated, the 350r IS the better car, but because of it's impressive performance I said don't sleep on the 5.0. But yes overall the 350r (from what i have heard) gives a better driving experience
Mentality my bad, fair enough
holy shit this channel has not popped up on my list for a while. Then I realized I hadnt seen this channels videos for some time. Where did the viewers go?
Honestly the 10 speed is legit. But a ported intake manifold would help the 6 speed a ton
I think he reallt bought the car to talk shit on it and too say yea i owned a mustang and didnt like it. Hes a mopar guy and its understandable. Hes got the money...i would of kept the hellcat but the interior looks better than mopar. Its faster than a scat put a blower on it and it can make 850 hp.
2018 401A package is where you get the upgraded sound system. For 2019 they also changed all the system all together and went to the Bang & Olufsen which is far better than the Sony shacker pro system offered in 2015-2018 models.
Exactly
2015-2018 did not have Sony ... it was called shaker which is just ford speakers .. which are pure garbage .. i have a 2016 Premium with the shaker 500 stock speakers were trash .. replaced all of them with JL audio and added an amp to them
My 2018 Mustang is at the dealer getting a new digital dash and a part on the active exhaust replaced. Just got word that a part is on back order so I can go pick it up. I have a feeling its the digital dash which means it'll be sitting in the garage not moving. I have to call the dealer tomorrow and figure out what's going on(they called my dad.)
Actually 2018 Mustangs pretty fast stang mode has his car running 11 20's with bolt on's it looks like he's going to get it into the ten's N/A.
another bad thing about the mustang is they don't hold their value
Percentage wise they hold value as well as any comparable car and you can verify this with a little searching if you're interested. Yes resale is lower but so is the purchase price.
No car is going to hold it’s value after driving it off the lot...Especially sports cars.
i have a 2013 full bolton with 26k miles i can easly get 26k for it still
@@fantomg100 good luck getting 26k lol
@@CaptainThirdGen sold at 25.5k lol so STFU LOOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLL
They are not Brembos, research should take place before making definitive statements. Car looks good though.
Looks good. Glad I went Camaro, but your stang is the best 18 I've seen. Looks like a fisker or something exotic. Enjoy!
You should do a couple of races from a dig and roll with some of your friends that own the 6th gen Camaro and see how those races turn out 👌🏽
Your right alot of great options for a car in 2018 but most can't trade a car every 3 or 5 months but too each there own. It's just I'd be ok with a 392 scat pack or a hell cat charger
Hmmm they might be 4 piston brakes but every car I have owned with Brembo brakes have had “Brembo” cast into the caliper. Not a sticker. But I could be wrong. I am sure they are good brakes, better than the base, maybe as good as Brembos.. but maybe it’s on the build sheet, and someone could correct me ?
Atleast it's 30k in the US. In the Philippines the same would cost 70k minimum
If you not dropping twin turbos in it , you might as well leave it stock
Huh? E85, intake, longtube headers, plus full exhaust equals over 500 rwhp on the 3rd gen coyote
Nah, I’d rather have a powerful naturally aspirated engine rather than one that uses forced induction.
Or a whipple 3L
Always remember to never skip 4th
We know what happened with a certain mustang :)
Ur Madré 😂😂 ☕️
I run a MBRP muffler delete with a roush x pipe on my 18 “cheap setup” and it sounds so mean tho👌🏻 eventually I’d like Corsa extremes but until then my current setup will do 👍🏻
Sounds like he’s not enthusiastic about the mustang like he was with the 1LE or scat pack... I own a 2016 mustang... I want complete honesty... do you wish u still had the 1LE?
You haven’t even done all the Riley mods yet. Can’t sell it until you have done those first
Next video is gonna be “why I sold my mustang”
