2018 Mustang GT Project SUBZERO VS The Ultimate Mountain Road

[@ThatDudeinBlue]

There is nothing as therapeutic as driving roads like this. What’s your favorite road you’d driven?

[@davidf2392]

So far the back roads around where I live haven't driven much out of state because I seem to suffer from the mental disorder of workaholic and only tend to have a day off a week

[@NIGHTRUN7]

Highway 9 in the Bay Area, CA

[@variousvp3311]

SR89 in Arizona.

[@tyler1997a7x]

Highway driving would be 75 northbound in the lower peninsula of MI and and back road driving is amazing heading to Whitefish Point in the U.P.

Over Speed

[@SlingSalsa]

It gets annoying, I just wanna say STFU!!!

thought it was saying "Lower Speed" Lololol. Either way, we all know what the real purpose of that is. :D

[@aspeck55555]

Going Lane to Lane over speed

[@gigatron2008]

The best mod ever for my S550 by a long shot was upgrading the suspension. Worth every penny. Went with Ford Racing track pack susp kit. Turned my base GT into a completely different car without feeling crazy harsh or bumpy.

[@lads1747]

should change the “lower speed” to “finish him” in the mortal combat voice...LOL

Dude, I think missed several of your videos. This is the first notification of your video I receive in a few weeks. And I haven't seen your videos in the recommendation for a long time. Don't know what's wrong with KZbin, you should totally check with someone from KZbin. As usual, great video. Really amazing road for a good drive. 👍

[@ThatDudeinBlue]

Hey Michael, thanks so much for letting me know. Unfortunately their advice involves “have you tried making custom thumbnails?” It’s better for me to just say I upload every Tuesday,Thursday, and Saturday due too so many people unfortunately do not get notified. I appreciate the report. Stay awesome.

[@MazdaratiMan69]

Looks like it handles beautifully. I also noticed you have a great seating position too, a lot of people don’t realize how important a good seating position is when you’re driving, good job David 👍🏻

[@16vg60mikey]

One of the few things that does make it worth living in Atlanta is being able to drive and hour or two north to find some amazing roads.

[@kylecm85]

I think this is the way I’m going with my next mustang. I’ve had the high hp straight like cars and this looks more fun in the long run.

[@ilovemanunited6179]

kylecm85 from a Mini Cooper owner and maybe an RX8 too, go tackle those corners!! You won't regret it.

[@travisschott7637]

It’s definitely worth it and so much fun! I’ve still got some more suspension and two more things engine wise that I for sure want to do before some cosmetics. For now it looks like a stock S550 GT on the outside!

[@joealex65]

It makes me happy to watch you enjoy that car so much! you didn't talk that much but your face showed how much you actually love it!

[@setra23]

0:42 and that's why I tether my gopro suction mounts when their on my car.

[@tonyrandle5849]

The looks, the sound, and the performance of the car, are just absolutely amazing.

[@abhishek6704]

Great video David and I don't even mind the Patterson Care ad as it's so satisfying to watch

[@ET_Videos]

Really liking the way this project is turning out!!

[@JayCBR1100xx]

One thing that makes a big difference on the S550 is swapping out the regular 4 piston front brakes for the 6 piston Brembos, the initial bite of the Brembos is stronger and noticeable, combined with a high end pad it'll change the feel of the car. After driving several it makes me regret not getting the PP on mine.

[@simonmillar9161]

Its amazing it's taken this long for Ford to put IRS in the mustang had it in the Ford Falcons here in NZ/Aus since the AU model in 1999

[@Lincolnspeed]

Living in California, it’s extremely difficult to get good power gains with vehicles. I have one of the hardest cars to make fast, a 2V V8 Mustang, so I went with suspension mods for my car. I gotta say, the most noticeable mods are suspension mods, you’re absolutely right Blue Dude. I’ve owned my Mustang for 10 years, and because of how I have it set up, there aren’t many other cars I’d rather drive than my asthmatic little Mustang. The way it takes corners is awesome, and yeah it doesn’t have much power, but I put 4:10 gears on it which woke it up quite a bit. I love seeing and hearing about these kinds of builds, because it’s so obtainable for most people to do these mods to their cars.

[@lollol-xp4mc]

410 gears is too much gear for tracl or canyons plus sucks on highway. But smart on you for not doing bolt ons and wasting money cause there is no power to be made with 4.6 2v. Good tires springs shocks camber plates and panhard bar needs subframe connectors makes it handle decently fun. Good bang for buck car overall

[@Lincolnspeed]

lol lol, I actually love my 4:10 gears, but yeah I wouldn’t recommend them to anyone who drives their car everyday. All those mods you listed I have except the panhard bar, but that’s definitely coming soon. You’re also absolutely right about the 2V being a great bang for the buck car. I’ve seen so many where I live for $2k-$3k for decent condition models. Way better than most cars in that price range

[@abwjr426]

Fantastic exhaust note!

[@CanadianCruisin]

Mountain cruising is the best. Looks nice out there.

[@unfairsanic5089]

Cant wait to buy a used mustang with 10 speed automatic

Get a manual unless you drag race

[@camerondaniels9462]

Even if you drag race. Tf?

[@lollol-xp4mc]

@@camerondaniels9462 the mustang manuals have proven to be pretty weak alot of people swap them for t56 i wouldnt want to deal with that. Im not drag racer anyways

[@travisschott7637]

Racing a new mustang manual isn’t that bad on the strip. Now if you’re trying to be competitive in competition then you better be real good with a stick! Either way you can’t go wrong with whichever transmission you go with.

[@lollol-xp4mc]

@@travisschott7637 its not that bad but they have been proven already to be pretty weak transmissions in comparison to chevys t56. There is literally no arguing against it. If you are an avid drag racer and launch hard with a fast car the manual will not hold up like you hope it would. Its not a weak trans unless slicks and stuff are involved. In a road racing setting its fine

This definitely gives me nostalgia. Reminds me driving up to Wawayanda Mountain in Jersey. 📷📷📷📷 Poconos in PA is a great place to drive around the mountains too.

[@zachariahlow6872]

Next time you are up in Jasper Ga take 136e at the end turn right towards Dawsonville. Then take 52w back towards Tate. Or you can turn left at the end of 136 & head towards Ellijay or Aimicola falls. Either way is a fun ride. I grew up in Ellijay & now live in Jasper. Love Subzero even though it's an automatic.

[@Jaycat48]

Your car is very nice. You nailed the look.

[@GrahamCain]

Annika and I were up there in the Abarth. Saw you and the S2000 pass by us in Helen. It was a beautiful day for some mountain run fun!

[@michaeltabanao9014]

In the 2011 to 2013, watts link, koni shocks, 4/10 gears, tune, auto, seems to work really well on San Diego backcoutry roads, also 6 piston Brembos

[@lollol-xp4mc]

Old auto is no good why not get a manual like a real driver plus 410 is too much gear for mountain roads 3.55 3.73 max

[@michaeltabanao9014]

Well one reason, the M82 or Gregtec is German Engineered China made. The auto in the 2011 to 2013 is the same transmission as the Raptor , hence these are bullet proof. Almost did not buy the car be ause it was auto. It rips stop light to stop light, just put in drive, no paddle crap. On mountain roads its about pressure of the right foot. I like to drive while others have typewriter ticks and broken shift forks.

[@uknowwho214]

Wonder how my roush equipped performance pack gt will handle these roads. Need to make the drive their eventually

[@cyclonekevin6199]

The S550 is a great daily driver, in my opinion. I luv my V6 2017 mustang.

[@Kevin_Knox]

DUDE, can't wait to pick one (s550) up this spring!

[@mikerotchburns1622]

do you think the ecoboost would be more appropriate for tight twisty roads where you generally dont/cant exceed 40mph? less power and lighter front end...

[@BrandonCardoso12]

Some of my favorite roads right there. Really love Richard b russel scenic highway

[@ethan3w157]

Scarlet Street Media yeah I have mine turned off

[@mustangthings]

I have mine set at 80 so I’m at least aware when I’m in big ticket territory. The intent is to have it set to the local speed limit on whatever road you’re on, but that is “unplug the damn thing” levels of annoying.

[@AlexEtmekian]

ethan3w Yea I was running the escort IX which wouldn’t shut up lol. I upgraded to the max 360c and it’s fairly quiet now. Mind you I did pay a hefty price for a radar detector but it does pay off in the end. I set my OSP to 15kmh just so it’s quiet and if I do go “over speed” then I’m not going to get nailed by a cop sitting by the road. In BC Canada if you go 30 kmh over your car gets impounded and you lose your license for up to 30 days.

[@onoff314]

[@troyplummer7110]

I went back and watched the video of you driving Stephanie's twin turbo mustang. HER CAR IS BADASS! I'm thinking of buying a 2015-16 mustang, or maybe a 2011-12 GT500. What are your thoughts on which one, and what is your opinion on Turbo or Supercharger for the 2015? My goal would be 650 RWHP.

[@christopherdaniel2747]

You can learn the timing of the shift and shift ahead of time.....the cool thing about that is only you will be able to drive it. There are people that see you in your car and say I wanna have that same thing, they might never take the time to go in-depth into driving and the cars behaviour and never get around the quirks and features and as such can't work the car .

i honestly thought youd be the type to own a GT350 just for doing this mountain driving, nonetheless i love what you did with your mustang, unlike here in texas its all about built engine and slicks

[@remissiveslave]

On fence between focus rs and this. Live in vt, so 5 months the mustang wouldn't be used, but that would ensure I wouldn't put as much mileage on it,so when it's paid off, I'll have more time to thrash on it or supercharge it. Can't wait till I'm in position to buy something.
