A real automotive enthusiast loves all cars. Its ok to be partial to a particular make/model I've loved Mustangs since i was a kid and currently own one. I would have to say, being a stop light thumper the challenger/ charger just seems more fun. Id love a Mopar in the stable. Brute force, and torque is never a bad thing. It's videos like these that give people perspective on what kind of power you prefer, down low, or up high. Good video as always brother👌

This is perfect man I’ve been considering a Mustang GT and a Scat Pack. So I have been paying extra close attention to your channel lately! I’ve been leaning towards the GT due to the ability to potentially boost it and not have to change out the internals to make that big power. Your videos have definitely helped me in that decision process!

I was in the same place earlier this year and I chose the Mustang and could not be happier. 6 speed for me however.

[@paulhudgins5120]

Always love your comparison videos, you do a great job with them, the scat pack for sure has the avantage in the torque battle, which has to do with push rod motors vs. overhead cams motors not having much low end torque. Both sweet car s in their own right, keep up great work.

[@ryanrock4944]

Always annoyed when a mustang reels me in when I'm in my 392 but that difference in driving experience is pretty stark. I too, love my sledgehammer, makes me feel like its more of a muscle car where you punch it and just hold on with a smile ear to ear. The mustang GT is more tame in that regard but definitely gets the speed on the top end.

[@scottsigmon926]

I love these comparisons. My first new car was a challenger R/T 6spd manual and after 4 enjoyable years I traded it for my 2015 mustang GT! So I love both cars and have specific ties to each. Keep up the great videos.

All right caught this one early let’s see what you got for us

[@RacerX9]

🤜🔥

[@Its_SRTBRO]

I'm going to cosign with you RacerX. The mustangs have a much larger after market, and the engine just breaths way better because of that DOHC and 4 valve system. My opinion is that the Ford guys are not scared to try new aftermarket stuff and us Dodge guys are more old school "if it aint broke don't fix it"... It won't be until more guys on the Dodge side begins to build our cars up past the regular pulley swap, then the aftermarket companies will start making more and more Gen3 Hemi aftermarket parts. The Hellcat was out in 2015, we couldn't even mod/tune them until 2 years ago... that's sad lol

[@RacerX9]

Dodge is getting there but yes they way of thinking is definitely different between these two groups lol

[@avocado9763]

Great video. The weight on the scat pack is its weakness when up against the mustang.

[@avocado9763]

Great video. Why is there no mention of rear end gear changes ? Try going from 3:55 up to 3:90 or 410.

[@fittch1374]

The stock on the scat is pretty sweet. Chill cruising but gets loud on throttle.

[@CAV3MAN227]

@ 12:37 you mention about always driving in track mode. Why is it you think that there are people out there saying, driving in track mode hurts the transmission, engine or whatever? What do you think gave that idea? It just never made since to me. Why would the factory implement something that would damage the car? Like duh lol! Nothing in the manuals either, unless I missed it.

[@CrummieBeatslive]

Another thing about the display. When you drive over 85mph a horse appears on the dash n starts running 💨. Very cool .. i had a gt for ,a yr sold n got a hellcat

[@GreenBlueWalkthrough]

The great thing about the Mustang aftermarket is if you buy a base mustang you can upgrade it to an equivalent to a Shelby GT500. With the exception of heated and cooled seats, ford safe and smart, those carbon fiber wheels, magaride... All the other options have an aftermarket equivalent or upgrade. Which you can even add features from luxury sports cars like scissor doors and lights all of the lights and even titanium exust.

The mustang also is cheaper normally brand new. I see scat packs go for 44-50k here in pa. Might as well buy a used hellcat for that price. Only time you'll pay 44k for the 5.0 is if you get every single option imaginable. Unless the dealer is marking them up for some reason. Both are awesome fun N/A cars. And good starters for people before they get into the shelbys and hellcats

Had to change my tune from Bama to PBD since I just upgraded to the 18 IM with JLT CAI. It's a VERY unpleasant feeling to flooring these cars with stock PZero Nero's and I almost ended up on the curb so for the first 2 years I was running Michelin AS3's but not cheap in Canada at $1600CAD+ and these Indy 500's at approx. $1100CAD which are just as good and on my 4th year with these tires!

Agree without stalling up the mustang it doesn't spin the tires much for having such a small tire. And the transmission is really a improvement over the 2016 mustang.

[@Nowheretorun7]

Mustang is basically a straight up sports car. The manual transmissions that come in the car have issues (can be fixed with modification) the automatics are fast, but the 10 speed (to me) feels all over the place, fast on throttle tho. Great mod community, but everybody and their mother owns one. They don't stand out at all, it feels like every 10th car on the road is a Mustang. Scatpack comes solid from the factory, doesn't need much in modification (mid muffler delete, oil catch can, barton shifter if MT) Is a real muscle car, stands out in the crowd, has a gigantic loud V8, more comfortable interior, better and more reliable transmissions. AT version of Scat is faster than Mustang GT MT stock for stock but slower than Mustang AT. Both MT's against each other tho are a pure drivers race. Challenger has character the Mustang lacks and the grunt the Mustang lacks.

[@jrk1990]

Depends where you live, here in Michigan everyone and their brother has a scat pack, all you see up here

[@midnight347]

Somebody has never heard of an 03-04 cobra or 07-14 gt500. True muscle cars in every sense of the word from looks to sound to feel. Only came with tremec 6 speeds and both came boosted with forged motors capable of 800+ rwhp w a blower on a stock bottom end. They're both way more unique than any modern challenger and far more limited. Challengers and chargers are literally everywhere lol.

They are both very torque happy too. I hate how people put every mustang in the coyote basket as if there are no other mustang options that are badass from the past 20 years.

[@v8713]

Both are great! The mopar stuff has more attitude and presence I personally think, but these 5 liter coyotes paired with a 10 speed are phenomenal.

[@midnight347]

There are older fords that have the best of both. 03-04 cobra and 07-14 gt500 are factory supercharged with badass 6 speed manual transmissions and can both do 800+ wheel on stock drivelines with a blower pretty easy. They are both 4v dohc like coyotes buy they're older and more primitive they have a better old school exhaust note as well as the look, feel and performance the way the power curve is they Rev to like 6500 but have way more torque and power down lower in the Rev range. They're much more muscle car feeling especially the 07-14 gt500 as they had solid axle rear ends back there they likely feel more "muscle" than the newe mopars all things considered because of that fact. Even the gt500 with iron block 07-10 were the heaviest ones and still only weigh 3920 stock despite a heavier 6 speed manual and iron block plus boost factory. Much lighter than a 392 let alone a hellcat. Some guys only want new cars but if you don't gotta have new the older terminator and gt500s are very solid options for those who wants torque and muscle car feel and the performance potential on stock long block the 4v ford's are known for.

[@jessedumont]

Just want to add that my mustang with 6 speed manual came with 275 p zeros and they weren’t enough tire for the car .. put some 305 nt05’s and there is a noticeable difference on the street really able to lay the power down now but like you said the stang has less bottom end torque can still spin the tires a bit but the car is way faster out the gate now love my 305 nittos on the street

I have similar experience, but not quite as extreme as the Scat Pack or the newer 5.0. Both cars of mine are 2015. A Chrysler 300S Hemi and 5.0 with manual for my lady. The 300 is all about smooth driving and comfort. The Mustang loves the RPMs. Handling is exceptional in the Mustang and still fun with Traction Control off. The 300 is going to get some engine goodies added and the 5.0 will most likely be left stock.

[@AStanton1966]

You probably know this, but if you don't. Look into buying BMR low profile jack rails for your Mustang GT. They cost less than $200 and they will allow you to jack up the entire side of the Mustang from one point. I put a set on my Mustang. And now I can rotate my own tires with ease.,

Do you have the BBQ tick yet on the Mustang? I guess that's probably not as big an issue as the issue that appears to surface on a lot of 6.4 Hemis after putting on some moderate mileage - namely, bad lifters / destroyed cams. That lifter/cam issue is, for me, reason enough to not bother with a Challenger.
