We broke out the dyno again for today's video! We wanted to see - does the all new 2024 Ford Mustang GT and it's 4th Gen Coyote compare to previous generation engines?

Nice job skimming the comments! I saw a scammer tried replying to one of mine and saw that it’s already been removed. You guys have a great team!!!

You should do this exact vid but comparing them down the 1/4 mile track! Would be cool to see exactly how they all perform at the same track on the same day!

This was amazing doing all four gens of the Coyote V8. This is very useful when comparing since they were doing in the same day with the same conditions. You normally never see that. I will say the 2013 through 2014 is easily the best lookin of the generations. A quarter mile time with these four on the same spec/size tire would be perfection in wrapping up the comparison. Keep up the great work

Always nice to see justin on these videos. I own a 13GT500 so those are my favorite. If I was in the market for a 5.0 I would 100% go with a gen 2!

I agree I'm also a gt500 owner (07) if I went w a gt it'd be a gen 2 I want a boss 302 which is essentially same engine as gen 2 with a better factory intake manifold in the s197 in a much better looking and more unique package.

[@SHADOWBLACKs650]

Good video,probably the best comparison on KZbin... it's to bad the runs can't be done in Drag mode...it's no doubt they make more power with a higher rpm that only comes with drag or track modes...good work..👍

[@greenscobie86]

Great video! Would be great to put all 4 cars on the scales and get their weights. I’m sure lots of people will find that interesting 👍👍👍

[@mattoliver7650]

Here's the trick, starting with the Gen 1 Coyote, you would need a Track Pack optioned Mustang. With Gen 2 Coyote, it would be a PP2 Mustang. Then Gen 3 & 4 Coyotes, it's just PP Mustang. Those are all Mustangs at the same trim level. LMR actually weighed a PP Gen 3 Coyote against a base Gen 4 Coyote and called it an adequate comparison. Which it most certainly isn't. LMR doesn't realize that options add weight. Any drag racer who's ever gutted a car for racing weight will confirm that options do infact add weight.

[@281cobracar7]

Using 15% of drivetrain loss to calculate. I came up with these crank hp numbers. Gen 1 428hp Gen 2 456hp Gen 3 473hp Gen 4 482hp

[@chefbergsfoodadventures6531]

They should do this video to see how the engines respond to modifications. Or how they differ in the quarter mile. I really feel like there's so much more they can play with the four generations

[@lincolnls0416]

That helps me figure out what I what and need to drop in my LS Lincoln. After all 2015 Stang is on my chassie.

[@ITRIEDEL]

I remember when I bought my 2012 Mustang GT. The 412hp at the time was pretty high for a base model GT. It felt so fast at the time.

[@midnight347]

It's still fast they're barely behind these new ones and they can actually be modified and tuned unlike the new one. There is more to how quick something is than just peak power. Also the 11-17 mt82 had much better gearing vs 18 up mt82. So the difference in real world performance isn't far off from a gen 1 to gen 4 all using manuals. The gen 1 and 2 were the best bang for the buck. The new ones cost alot more for very little stock vs stock improvement and no improvement at all in potential since they're locked down the older cars have much better potential.

[@Sforschondetta]

Gen 1 still looks the best!!! The Gen 1 with a manifold swap. Cold air and tune. Let's even add a X-Pipe. It will be faster than a Dark Horse. It's a lighter car.

[@midnight347]

300 wheel na in a car that is damn near 1000 lbs lighter. Guys made 450-500 wheel boosted back then and with that light of a car the modern stuff isn't as far out in front as it seems just looking at hp numbers.

Okay respectable numbers for stock, the gen 4 is still not worth the money or the effort. Gen 1-3 you can tune add turbos or a supercharger possibly doubling the horse power. You can push it even farther with a built coyote, transmission and e85 You can't do any of that with the gen 4, just sit back and hope Ford increases the power with that over the wifi tune. The aftermarket top tuners has already stated it's gonna be 2 or more years before you can expect to add power. How many people do you think is going to wait that long? Not many there will be a lot of them on used car lots long before that happens. On top of that the GTD mustang is coming next year, now that's worth looking forward too.

[@gotdamnjimi9758]

Yea no, anyone who is considering buying a Mustang GT is not even thinking about the GTD that’s a whole different bracket my guy. You should of said dark horse but definitely not the GTD. That shii also gonna be limited to special buyers. 😂😂

@@gotdamnjimi9758 Oh yeah, the dark gelding the other castrated horsie. If I'm unable to tune or add horsepower it's worthless. The best part about owning a mustang is ability to tune an upgrade it. But you can't do that with the GT or the dark gelding can you? I haven't left a mustang stock since I owned a Fox body, it's all about taking it to the next level. Oh, I've already started the ordering process for the GTD. Did you think I didn't know it was limited? My summer job from 15 to 18yrs old until I went to college was working at a speed shop. I own highly modified 900hp 67 gt500, a 1000+hp 20 gt350r, 1000+hp 22 gt500 the GTD will fit right in with them.

I am looking forward to what ford ends up doing with all its consumer’s thoughts on the matter. Im personally happy and sticking with my 19. I do believe I have an idea on why everyone is getting low results with the new 2024 mustang. What I’m about to say is purely hypothetical but I believe it’s because they release them first with a low tune on purpose. An in two to three months or so from now they will release an over the air update that will actually awake the car. God I hope that makes sense and that I don’t sound dumb and get memed.

And yet after all these years a 2024 GT is basically no faster than a 2011 GT (at least the manual with 3:73 rear end) because of years of bloated weight gain. IMHO the 2011-2012 GT with deluxe interior is the sharpest, cleanest design, perfectly proportioned with a neoclassic interior. And the engine bay looks the best too! It's the best execution of modern design with nod to the classic lines. Honorable mention goes to the 2013-1014 styling. But the front gives hint of the slab front 4" pedestrian impact zone that has all but ruined the exterior styling of every new vehicle.
