The Mustang won for me as soon as they did the revving at the start. And then it won the actual racing part. I think the Z is a tourer, and that’s about it. It does look really cool.
The Z strikes me as a car that was produced in order to have all the performance parts from the last generation swapped on. I mean, it's kind of in the talking points from Nissan that it's built on the old chassis.
Man. The Mustang has to be one of the most consistent best sounding V8s around in my opinion. Ever since the fox body I’ve fell in love with themC firstly because of the sound. That 5.0 sounds amazing. But even the 4.6 new edge stangs sound awesome.
@@hawkshadowoseanacy5171 The Z was designed to conform to EU noise regulations as well I believe, where the car has to be driven flat out (on the accelerator pedal) at a certain speed past a microphone where they measure the noise level. I think that speed is like 60 or so mph, and with a manual they generally put it into second gear when they drive past the microphone. With an Auto they just leave the car in whatever mode it came to them in, so the manufacturer can tune the car to just short shift in comfort mode or whatnot. The result is that either manual cars have super long gears so their revs will be lower when the microphone is driven by, or that they space the gear ratios properly but instead have to put on an exhaust that makes it sound like nothing. This doesn't affect the Mustang and Dodge cars because they don't sell them in the EU anymore (or at all in Dodge's case).
Fbody owner (RIP FBODY 2002) I agree 100%. As I age I realize I was the stupid one for caring about how fast my LS1 was when the 4.6L guys got to ride around with the windows down listening to a damn symphony.
Gotta love the mustang, it's an excellent value all around. I have a 20 GT 460 hp 420 tq, performance pack, 10 speed auto.. off road H-pipe and otherwise stock. She's pretty quick and loads of fun to drive. It's handling is under rated.
I wasn't. Mustang is the pwr/weight ratio champ and has better power delivery. The Challenger is a pushrod engine so up-high it doesn't make as much power. The twin turbo setup would have the advantage initially because of near instantaneous torque, but eventually be beat by the mustangs top-end.
I have a 2019 Bullitt, it has tad differently tuned exhaust for even more rumble and I can tell you that when I was on the fence about buying it, hearing the exhaust is what made me pull the trigger!

The whole Nissan Bridgestone "Partnership" is garbage. I had those stupid bridgestoners on my Z for a grand total of: 6000 miles. I'm actually convinced that bald tires on a PRIUS handle better than those POS tires. I have owned a ton of cheap cars with cheap tires. I can only imagine the number of people first in line for the new Z that are going to end up with an unpleasant phone call and one big insurance claim when the thing is totalled. Those Bridgestone tires are a recipe for disaster. Nissan "should" have simply offered the OPTION for a PS4S rather than this terribly negotiated mindless contract with Bridgestone. FFS, maybe "offer" the option for the better bridgestones?
@@07wrxtr1 lol I'm one of those guys in line for the Z and it looks like by the time it arrives I'll be using winter tires and rims off the bat. I'll keep the Bridgestones as an extra set to practice tire shredding in the summer 😂
@@jacksnackson3578 True, but most Zupras won't be pushed to their potential so a well-tuned Z can beat many of them. It's way easier to make a car faster than it is to make it look better, in my opinion. For me the Z is too damn pretty and I like the interior more even though it's cheaper, it just looks more interesting with the colors - plus it's more roomy and more visible in the cabin, I'm gonna daily my Z and so that does kinda matter lol
@@jacksnackson3578 You sound like those kids who think every supra has 1000hp lol vr30 can push 550 wheel with stock turbos and that's more than enough to beat the average Zupra driver. I like the Zupra btw not hating like you
I have a scat pack and the main reason I got it over the others was purely the look, I mean it’s the closest to the original that it can be but yea the weight and just the platform/formula of the Challenger/charger is just old news but hey i still love my challenger very much
The 392 is no slouch with some drag radials.. Ive got a 12.2 on that track. Plenty of mustangs cant get that, the 5.0 was irrelevant until 2018 (stock for stock). That mustang is also a pp1 - with 3.73 gears. Id take the Scat anyday. Every dickhead driving around has a mustang. Go around the block theres like 15 of them within 10km radius lol. That 5.0s positive point is in the top end so. Plus the 392 in standard is no good - have to have to 8 speed auto to utilize its massive torque.
@@Bizzair1990 I stay in Atlanta and the 392 is definitely way more common than a 5.0. For every 20 cars I see, there’s AT LEAST 8 challengers/chargers in that mix. When they see me in my 5.0 they always try to rev or peel off fast like jackasses and damn near cause an accident. Much more of a jackass car if you ask me. The sound is definitely great, but I dust them almost every time
(Edited) So true. I test drove a 2019 Bullitt last year and it was so much fun to drive. Sounded amazing and had the recaro racing seats they were super grippy. Still want one but they are selling too high around me at around $50,000-$55,000 so after my GTO sells hopefully this month I’ll be ordering a new mustang from ford. For the build I want it’s coming out to $43,000 straight from the factory. Can’t wait. Congrats on the Bullitt those are nice
@@crashnabors009 it’s not driver mod. Watch my videos. We did a roll and surprisingly the scat left it behind. Also it wasn’t my car so I didn’t shift it like I do my corvettes but I didn’t granny shift either
You guys are such a good group of guys. It honestly brings back the good Top Gear vibe for me. I've been watching you guys for a while and you guys always pump out amazing content! Great job as always guys!
I'm maybe biased but those Mustangs are really really fast out of the box for the price and plenty of potentials. Really a good canvas and plenty of aftermarket parts at reasonable price for either convert it to a drag race monster, a track monster or a drift monster, only choose which path you wanna go. Great video!
I love dodge but I've been saying that since the 460 hp mustangs cane out the scatpack just barely loses they're very quick even more so with the 10 speeds
Mopar sell more currently but 23 is the last year for hemis and all the mopar guys will be switching to mustangs after 23. I may add a gt500 to my redeye and C8 Z06 will be here by spring. They can keep their ev stuff. You can't beat a GT for value and modding
You need to see a camaro ss 1le! Best in everything compared to a mustang and cheaper too for its performance point. I owned a 15 gtpp and now own a 22 2ss 1le manual. 1le all day every day!
@@munkysex00 nope i owned both so i can tell you that Mustang interior had so many rattles that i removed and insulated the dashboard maybe 4 times. Knock on wood my camaro has no issues so far. The heads up display alone is worth it especially on the 1le.
@@al151 Sounds like your Mustang was a lemon. My 15 GT pp was tight as a drum when I sold it with 60K miles on it. I'm not a fan of the Camaro interior but the SS 1LE is most likely going to be my next car. It is very good car though it doesn't sound quite as good as the Mustang. Main attraction for me in the Camaro is the manual transmission which is superior to the MT82 in the Mustang.
I have a 2019 Bullitt, it has tad differently tuned exhaust for even more rumble and I can tell you that when I was on the fence about buying it, hearing the exhaust is what made me pull the trigger!

Genuinely helping me and I’m sure many others make an informed decision on which cars to look at! Would love to see more competition against this thing if y’all can get ahold of it again!
Well, I am a Dodge fan and i can sure agree that the mustang is faster, it is lighter and the coyote engine is really good But still the challenger looks amazing, it has the real muscle car look Its a war between 2 brands that we fans are benifiting from, its bringing the best out of both and with time it will get better 👍
@@SRT_Ajax you’re probably right, only reason I point out for the fatass Challenger that’s already at a weight disadvantage. Ultimately, I would have bet on Mustang in both runs on street, the platform is just too good all around.
In as much as I love to watch your show regularly, I have said this before. You should always give your viewers the benefits of a doubt by allowing each and every driver race different cars especially when drag racing in manual gears. This would allow the viewers to objectively decide what car is fastest because driving experiences and competence matters.
Can I make a suggestion? I think it would be most beneficial to run these cars with the automatic transmissions. Yes I know you guys can obviously drive very well but I think automatic really just puts out the most for what the brand has to say in terms of racing. As everyone says, you can’t out shift a computer.
The driver in The challenger sucks at driving. I've raced mustang's in my challenger rt stock and I got the same results. The scat pack should've done better
@@aaronwarren8389 Right, only hosts his own channel about cars and races professionally but he can't drive a stock challenger lmao You apparently didn't race someone with driver mod.
11k cheaper and capable of up to 1200whp and 7 in the 1/4 mile with just boost and fuel. No heads no cams no pistons no rods no opening the engine unless you want to go built motor which then mustang gt can make 2000hp on stock factory block. Honestly mustang gt makes hellcats look slow with just bolt oms everyday at the track.
Those nose dives on the Z in between shifts are a thing to behold. Honestly could & should be shifting 20x faster, literally as fast as a blink sir, bang!
Better hurry, S650 (7th gen debuting in 2 weeks) is rumored to be the last V8, hopefully not tho. I got a '19 Bullitt, awesome daily. I'm sure some S550 Mustangs will be left over on the lots once new one comes out and might be a good way to pick one up cheap, altho these days what is even cheap or "car in stock?"
@@soontaru I think the 4.6 sounded better imo, the 5.0 is just a little to high pitch for my liking. While I loved how crazy my 5.0 sounded, I think my LT1 sounds much better. Then again I love the old school V8 sounds, so it makes sense!
Love the content boys... Ever thought of a "Value drag" race... For example, replicating this race with predecessor models, and put a limit on the purchase price of 25% current MSRP... Might be a great way of finding some gems for your budget minded viewers, a.k.a., all of us 'po folk...

Yes. My Dad has an old '94 5.0 that was always a turd - so that is how I have viewed Mustang GTs ever since. He now also has a new one with the premium package and 10spd. That thing freaking RIPS - holy shit. I couldn't believe it. The '94 came with 215hp, the new one has 480 I think.
The GT is a faster car than a scatpack it’s got a better 0-60 and 1/4 mile. People think Challengers and Chargers are so fast because they’re a trend for young kids and rappers.
Owned a 2016 Mustang GT with Performance Pack and it was an awesome car. With a tune, headers and exhaust it was crazy fast. Traded it for a 2019 Shelby GT350...I love my new car but...man do I miss that regular Mustang GT. As far as bang for the buck it was untouchable...and it sounded better than any car except a GT350.

Main reason I bought my mustang was just the sound tbh 😩 I can never get enough of that coyote 5.0. Side note, mustang gets it power past 4k RPM’s so after that you get a plenty of torque
Only delusional mopar fans say otherwise. Despite losing 10hp that scatcrap was choking the coyote’s dust. I was even skeptical because of the MT82 6 spd garbage manual. The 10spd vs 8spd is the more interesting battle.
My guess is that Nissan is playing games with boost based on which gear you are in. 1st and 2nd could be different than 3-6. It's as simple as a program on the wastegate.
Dodge owner, It’s way too heavy to compete with the Z and 5.0 top end. But if I were to trade in my SP I’d definitely get a Z. That little guy looks fun as hell to drive! Good races guys.
@@Elian_Zed i know im saying if all 3 where automatic which would truly prove whos the fastest the z would of lost against the scat but the mustang would of still won
Stang already sounds the best and performs the best but don't forget the as tested price. Mustang was 10k cheaper. That's more than enough $$ to get supercharged and put out 750+ horsepower. Always provides the best value for money.
TH: I Have no lift shift on the Z, that should give me the advantage. TH: Proceeds to granny shift while lifting. lol Im a Nissan guy, but the coyote is the best bang for your buck hands down.
I have a 2019 Bullitt, which is the "Bullettized" version of the vehicle in the video, with similar performance bits and 480hp engine. The exhaust is tuned for even more rumble and it sounds amazing.

The whole Nissan Bridgestone "Partnership" is garbage. I had those stupid bridgestoners on my Z for a grand total of: 6000 miles. I'm actually convinced that bald tires on a PRIUS handle better than those POS tires. I have owned a ton of cheap cars with cheap tires. I can only imagine the number of people first in line for the new Z that are going to end up with an unpleasant phone call and one big insurance claim when the thing is totalled. Those Bridgestone tires are a recipe for disaster. Nissan "should" have simply offered the OPTION for a PS4S rather than this terribly negotiated mindless contract with Bridgestone. FFS, maybe "offer" the option for the better bridgestones?
@@07wrxtr1 lol I'm one of those guys in line for the Z and it looks like by the time it arrives I'll be using winter tires and rims off the bat. I'll keep the Bridgestones as an extra set to practice tire shredding in the summer 😂
@@Zanthin8 This is exactly why I went for a G37 over a Q50. Didn't like the steering feel on the new models since they went electric.
I think the Z will be a monster once tuners get ahold of them
Will still be slower than the BMW Zupra
@@jacksnackson3578 True, but most Zupras won't be pushed to their potential so a well-tuned Z can beat many of them. It's way easier to make a car faster than it is to make it look better, in my opinion. For me the Z is too damn pretty and I like the interior more even though it's cheaper, it just looks more interesting with the colors - plus it's more roomy and more visible in the cabin, I'm gonna daily my Z and so that does kinda matter lol

@@cosmic_gate476 FALSE. Nissan failed the people. Zurpra is a better chassis and better motor. The Nissan 380 Z in new skin is a flop.

I have a scat pack and the main reason I got it over the others was purely the look, I mean it’s the closest to the original that it can be but yea the weight and just the platform/formula of the Challenger/charger is just old news but hey i still love my challenger very much
I am still dreaming a black 392 widebody with the Shaker package, congrats on your beauty, take good care of her
Love my 17 Coyote but them Hemi exhausts always turn heads!👍🏿
The Challenger is really a NICE looking car. I really thought about it, and drive it, over getting my 19 Mustang.
The 392 is no slouch with some drag radials.. Ive got a 12.2 on that track. Plenty of mustangs cant get that, the 5.0 was irrelevant until 2018 (stock for stock). That mustang is also a pp1 - with 3.73 gears. Id take the Scat anyday. Every dickhead driving around has a mustang. Go around the block theres like 15 of them within 10km radius lol. That 5.0s positive point is in the top end so. Plus the 392 in standard is no good - have to have to 8 speed auto to utilize its massive torque.
@@Bizzair1990 I stay in Atlanta and the 392 is definitely way more common than a 5.0. For every 20 cars I see, there’s AT LEAST 8 challengers/chargers in that mix. When they see me in my 5.0 they always try to rev or peel off fast like jackasses and damn near cause an accident. Much more of a jackass car if you ask me. The sound is definitely great, but I dust them almost every time
That Mustang is something else and it sounds fantastic 👍🏻🏴
I love it. Guy in the scat pack..." what? what??".....and listen to that coyote absolutely howl.
As an owner of S550 Mustang (Bullitt), they got so much right with this gen. Hopefully the 7th gen fills the big shoes 6th leaves behind
(Edited)
So true. I test drove a 2019 Bullitt last year and it was so much fun to drive. Sounded amazing and had the recaro racing seats they were super grippy. Still want one but they are selling too high around me at around $50,000-$55,000 so after my GTO sells hopefully this month I’ll be ordering a new mustang from ford. For the build I want it’s coming out to $43,000 straight from the factory. Can’t wait. Congrats on the Bullitt those are nice
Completely agree with you. I personally think its the best Mustang that Ford has ever produced. I even special ordered one to get it the way I wanted.
Love my 2019 performance pack race red GT headers active exhaust 93 Lund tune. Fun car
I drove a bullet, was fun to drive, but I saw stock scatpack taillights, and he pulled hard
@@crashnabors009 it’s not driver mod. Watch my videos. We did a roll and surprisingly the scat left it behind. Also it wasn’t my car so I didn’t shift it like I do my corvettes but I didn’t granny shift either
You guys are such a good group of guys. It honestly brings back the good Top Gear vibe for me. I've been watching you guys for a while and you guys always pump out amazing content! Great job as always guys!
That 5.0 is the freaking best. Love mine in my f150. Sadly im trading it for a f250 though... I need a heavier truck
I'm maybe biased but those Mustangs are really really fast out of the box for the price and plenty of potentials. Really a good canvas and plenty of aftermarket parts at reasonable price for either convert it to a drag race monster, a track monster or a drift monster, only choose which path you wanna go. Great video!
I'm a Mopar guy but the Mustang is no joke, seriously great car.
I love dodge but I've been saying that since the 460 hp mustangs cane out the scatpack just barely loses they're very quick even more so with the 10 speeds
That mustang is seriously becoming a dream car of mine. The sound of that Coyote V8 is intoxicating
base GT mustang and LT1 Camaro are just INSANE value cars. Nothing else even comes close for the price.
Mopar sell more currently but 23 is the last year for hemis and all the mopar guys will be switching to mustangs after 23. I may add a gt500 to my redeye and C8 Z06 will be here by spring. They can keep their ev stuff. You can't beat a GT for value and modding
When you consider the price the Mustang is a no brainer in this comparison.
shhhhh, don't tell Ford that they'll raise the price $7,500 like they just did half their vehicles
@@enacku Then It would be around the price of the Scat, so still a no brainer for me
@Paul Eww no. I’d honestly rather have the GR86 over the BMW Supra
Z's driver was the biggest takeaway for me. Great video as always 👌🏾
Mustang price to performance ratio is very good!
If you can get past the rental car interior. For everyone else, there's the GT Premium.
You need to see a camaro ss 1le! Best in everything compared to a mustang and cheaper too for its performance point. I owned a 15 gtpp and now own a 22 2ss 1le manual. 1le all day every day!
@@al151 the Camaro interior is shit, just like most gm interiors.
@@munkysex00 nope i owned both so i can tell you that Mustang interior had so many rattles that i removed and insulated the dashboard maybe 4 times. Knock on wood my camaro has no issues so far. The heads up display alone is worth it especially on the 1le.
@@al151 Sounds like your Mustang was a lemon. My 15 GT pp was tight as a drum when I sold it with 60K miles on it. I'm not a fan of the Camaro interior but the SS 1LE is most likely going to be my next car. It is very good car though it doesn't sound quite as good as the Mustang. Main attraction for me in the Camaro is the manual transmission which is superior to the MT82 in the Mustang.
God, the exhaust tone of a good ol fashioned naturally aspirated American V8.. Schwing :)
Yeah hard to argue with a v8 sound track, Nissan sadly chose to not include a louder exhaust out of the box.
I have a 2019 Bullitt, it has tad differently tuned exhaust for even more rumble and I can tell you that when I was on the fence about buying it, hearing the exhaust is what made me pull the trigger!
@Rawkfist1501 Shouldve replied, Naturally aspirated V8 in general. My Tundra rumbles just as nice 😉. That "Z" would definitely be my 3rd choice out of them.
@@willdembik688 An old fashioned american v8 to me means pushrods, and a big cam. I am not going to say the mustang sounds bad, its just not a traditional american v8 sound

That was so cool being able to watch a Z capture the race between a mustang and a challenger! 😂

He shifts like a learner for sure
The same
Well, I am a Dodge fan and i can sure agree that the mustang is faster, it is lighter and the coyote engine is really good
But still the challenger looks amazing, it has the real muscle car look
Its a war between 2 brands that we fans are benifiting from, its bringing the best out of both and with time it will get better 👍
8 speed vs 8 speed the 392 wins the manual 392s are wayyyy too slow they do like 12.7 1/4. Meanwhile my scat did 12.2 @ 117
It’s actually torturous to watch these guys not down shift the Scat at roll.
@@vincealince_SRT I don’t think any of them down shifted? I could be wrong.
@@SRT_Ajax you’re probably right, only reason I point out for the fatass Challenger that’s already at a weight disadvantage. Ultimately, I would have bet on Mustang in both runs on street, the platform is just too good all around.

Ford literally waits for dodge to roll their car out, buys the dodge, and builds their car around it to be faster.
Mustangs are for women and men who sit down to urinate.
only 10 speeds so if it ain a s5 just leave

@@CrashRacknShoot a stock scat is faster than a stock GT lol.
In as much as I love to watch your show regularly, I have said this before. You should always give your viewers the benefits of a doubt by allowing each and every driver race different cars especially when drag racing in manual gears. This would allow the viewers to objectively decide what car is fastest because driving experiences and competence matters.
Can I make a suggestion? I think it would be most beneficial to run these cars with the automatic transmissions. Yes I know you guys can obviously drive very well but I think automatic really just puts out the most for what the brand has to say in terms of racing. As everyone says, you can’t out shift a computer.
Lesson of the day: Go get a Mustang GT!!! 😅
Lesson of the day, it all comes down to the driver..
The driver in The challenger sucks at driving. I've raced mustang's in my challenger rt stock and I got the same results. The scat pack should've done better

3rd gear on the pp1 GT is so good, it just finds its legs. All great cars.
Mustang sounds the best!
11k cheaper and capable of up to 1200whp and 7 in the 1/4 mile with just boost and fuel. No heads no cams no pistons no rods no opening the engine unless you want to go built motor which then mustang gt can make 2000hp on stock factory block. Honestly mustang gt makes hellcats look slow with just bolt oms everyday at the track.
But what about the MT82
Got a 22 GT weeks ago and I’m just so happy with how it sound stock and the performance is really satisfying😊😊
Those nose dives on the Z in between shifts are a thing to behold. Honestly could & should be shifting 20x faster, literally as fast as a blink sir, bang!
No lift shifting “should give me a leg up”. LOL!
How is this the first time ever I’m hearing about a no lift shift? Had no idea that was a thing, sounds awesome
As a Dodge fan. I gotta say the gt exhaust sounds very good. May have to pick up one in the future
Meh, if you think the mustang sounds good, get a Chevy lol. I’ve had a few mustangs and the LS always sounds better than a 5.0 imo.
As a Mustang guy, I think the Hemi sounds great at low rpms, but a 5.0 (or a 4.6) revving out always sends me
Better hurry, S650 (7th gen debuting in 2 weeks) is rumored to be the last V8, hopefully not tho. I got a '19 Bullitt, awesome daily. I'm sure some S550 Mustangs will be left over on the lots once new one comes out and might be a good way to pick one up cheap, altho these days what is even cheap or "car in stock?"
@@richardnavratil9661 I jumped ship actually, got a 22 camaro! Long live V8’s! Never sell and enjoy your stang while we can 😢
@@soontaru I think the 4.6 sounded better imo, the 5.0 is just a little to high pitch for my liking. While I loved how crazy my 5.0 sounded, I think my LT1 sounds much better. Then again I love the old school V8 sounds, so it makes sense!
Love the content boys... Ever thought of a "Value drag" race... For example, replicating this race with predecessor models, and put a limit on the purchase price of 25% current MSRP... Might be a great way of finding some gems for your budget minded viewers, a.k.a., all of us 'po folk...
Don't you mean 25% above MSRP? Used cars cost more than new ones now, somehow.
@@cyberspectre8675 lol, I came here to respond with the same thing. 25% MSRP doesn't even get you a 350Z
75 % of MSRP maybe?

@@robertdaone it cost way more money to make a mustang faster than a chevy, for instance you guys have four fucking cams while i have one to worry about😂
@@robertdaone if you have enough money you can make any camaro faster than any mustang vice versa
And its been proven the 10speed mustang is way faster than the manual
Yes. My Dad has an old '94 5.0 that was always a turd - so that is how I have viewed Mustang GTs ever since. He now also has a new one with the premium package and 10spd. That thing freaking RIPS - holy shit. I couldn't believe it. The '94 came with 215hp, the new one has 480 I think.
That 500 horsepower + 2024 mustang with a 6 speed out of the gt350 is going to be an absolute monster
Not gonna lie, being a GT vs a Scat Pack. I wasn't expecting those results. KARSTON FOR THE WIN!
The GT is a faster car than a scatpack it’s got a better 0-60 and 1/4 mile. People think Challengers and Chargers are so fast because they’re a trend for young kids and rappers.
Love your videos

I bought the SP because I'm a low-end guy. I'm ready to upshift at 4k! But I bought a 96' GT new back in the day and loved it.
Well I guess the mustang and challenger debate is finally over about which one is faster
Only delusional mopar fans say otherwise. Despite losing 10hp that scatcrap was choking the coyote’s dust. I was even skeptical because of the MT82 6 spd garbage manual. The 10spd vs 8spd is the more interesting battle.

They should have used automatic transmissions. That would remove the human shifting factor.
Stang already sounds the best and performs the best but don't forget the as tested price. Mustang was 10k cheaper. That's more than enough $$ to get supercharged and put out 750+ horsepower. Always provides the best value for money.
