From $20k to $80k - COMPLETE Mustang Buying Guide

[@rocky_4003]

You provided a fair and detailed overview in each price range. I currently have an 06 GT and a Dark Horse. I know many people complain about the price point on the DH but it is a fantastic car, and it makes you want to go out and drive. Can't wait to get it on the track. No regrets on getting it.

[@therealcervenka]

Thank you!!

[@sisko3893]

Do you daily your DH? I have a supra currently but want to add some muscle to my garage.

[@rocky_4003]

@@sisko3893 Nah. The GT is my daily. Dark horse is for fun and the track.

Hi Chris! I have a procharged 10psi over 700 whp monster 2021 Mach 1 HP. It has an MGW shifter, DSS carbon fiber driveshaft, Mantic clutch, Ford Performance Haftshafts, the Steeda magneride control module, Steeda Vertical links, toe links, g trac brace, IRS Support braces, bushings for differential , jacking rails, and other stop the hop mods from Steeda. I still use the stock springs from ford. Amazing handling!

[@therealcervenka]

Sounds awesome 💪

[@CarsAcrossTexas]

At the $50k price range you’d take a S550 Mach 1 over an S197 GT500?

[@TheRealMrHighOffMusic]

You are everywhere 😅

[@therealcervenka]

Check out the other comment on here regarding solid rear vs IRS. It all depends on what you want to do with the car. If straight lines are your thing, then you can’t go wrong with the 500 for sure.

[@Justin_in_NC]

This was a great list and I appreciate how you focused on modern mustangs. As a terminator owner it would’ve been too easy to just do a top 10 list all time or something, but I like the spotlight on the newer gen’s

[@therealcervenka]

Thank you!!!

[@JSXDrift]

This guy is gonna take off I hope He remembers me when I am trying as well You'll me at 100k 200k 300k when I'm referencing this in years.

[@briansawdo6245]

I would be looking to get into the game with an early S550 manual shift GT with no options. This is coming from a 4cyl Fox body. The lower budget is where I would be.

[@slbrugby7218]

What are your thoughts on an older '10-'14 GT500 in the 40-55k range compared to what you listed?

[@nathanielhoffman7043]

I just got a 13 gt500 and trust me if you get a 12 or older you’re gonna be wishing you hadn’t.

[@slbrugby7218]

@nathanielhoffman7043 any reasons in particular? Just starting to look for one. Been trying to learn as much as possible.

[@therealcervenka]

Tough to compare because the S550 chassis is so much more sorted when it comes to handling. It’s going to take a lot more modification to get an S197 to handle as well as an S550. If the power and “raw” feeling of a solid rear is more important to you, then GT500 for sure. As for 10-12 vs 13-14. The 5.4L in the 10-12 will take to mods better than the 5.8L in the 13-14. If you plan to go big power, get the 5.4L. If you plan to keep it stock or mild bolt-on, then the 5.8L for sure. I’ve always had a soft spot for those 13-14 GT500s 😍

[@gordydexter2615]

Good video Chris. I ordered a Dark Horse back on 6 April. Still waiting for it. Ford has the Handling package on restraint currently. So I think that I will have another month or two of waiting. I plan to have an ESS installed eventually. Have you left Steeda?If so, I will have to work with Joe Boda for my DH suspension enhancement parts. What tires do you suggest to replace my Perrelli Trofeo RS with? I will save them for the track but have been leaning towards Michelin pilot sport 4S tires. What are you daily driving on? Thanks Chris‼️👍👊💪😎🇺🇸

[@therealcervenka]

Congrats! It’s gonna be awesome once you get it! Yes, I’ve left Steeda - you can reach out to their Sales team and they’ll be happy to point you in the right direction. As for the tires, if you’re looking for a summer tire for street driving I’d go with the 4S like you mentioned or the Continental ExtremeContact Sport 02!

I just picked up a clean title 2016 GT PP with a recently installed Whipple stage 2 (15K mi ago). Long tubes, Corsa Double Helix, Eibach springs, Steeda short shifter, and only 47K miles on the clock. Paid $25,500 about 4 days ago from a private party.

[@ricardovaldez4658]

Nice is it a premium?

[@DemocratsRDemons]

@@ricardovaldez4658 yes. has the Brembos, drive modes, leather, toggle switches, big screen with nav, etc

Dude that is a fucking steal congrats

GT350R > All other mustangs

[@ricardoronin5170]

My friend has gt350 and it’s amazing BUT my gt500 is just all around the best mustang ever… imo.

@@ricardoronin5170 no car with an automatic qualifies for best car ever in my opinion. But that’s the thing, opinions are like assholes and everyone can buy the car they love. I’m just glad they make them all so we can drive’em!

[@ricardoronin5170]

Well it's a dual clutch. Not an automatic. Drive one and get back to me. See what your opinion is after. The downshift are majestic. The upshifts are instant. The way it builds speed is insane. And it's a pussy cat in day to day driving. So IN MY OPINION, ALL around it isn't be touched. Drive it sir.

@@ricardoronin5170 dual clutch is an automatic. It isn’t all about speed, if it was, just buy a McLaren or something. It’s about the driving experience, and the 350R provides a more engaging driving experience, PERIOD.

[@ricardoronin5170]

Ask an F1 driver if lightning quick shifting with paddles is engaging. Lol. Come to the 21st century. Drive one. I've driven both. I had your "opinion" until I drove it. Period.

[@carguy...]

Just sold my 22 Supra for a 22 Mach 1 HP and love it!!

[@therealcervenka]

That’s an amazing car - enjoy it!

[@bitedawg]

excellent video sir!

[@therealcervenka]

Thank you!

[@ltjorge16]

I want that under 20k video, did we or can we get one?

[@therealcervenka]

Hm… that may take some more research. I’ll see what I can do!

[@rafaelmeneses5066]

Aside from a 2016 350R you will be hard pressed to find a 350R cars for sub 60. 19/20 cars are still in the 70’s or higher

[@therealcervenka]

They’re hard to come by for sure

[@andyy6481]

does it have to be the R what about the normal 350?

[@therealcervenka]

Nothing wrong with the normal 350! That’s what I had. The R’s are hard to come by and it doesn’t take much in upgrades to have a regular 350 out perform an R.

[@ManuaLiberty]

GT350 or bust

[@therealcervenka]

They’re special cars for sure!

[@wogurrla3152]

I’m trying to decide between 2021-2022 mach 1 or S650 GT. Any recommendation?

[@ricardovaldez4658]

Drive both, but personally I’d pick Mach 1 due to better resale and it won’t be just another GT. If you plan to mod the crap out of the car especially for looks get the GT if you leave it stock or do some performance mods do the Mach 1

[@therealcervenka]

Agreed - try to go drive both. Comes down to what you’re looking for. I’d argue to say the S650 GT will out perform a base Mach in most every category.

[@spacebagels_5217]

He literally showed the exact Mach1 I am looking at and want to buy. Hey guys please don’t buy it and let me have it. You don’t want that one

[@unfairsanic5089]

Lolz i can get a used gen 3 coyote pp for less than 35k or less

[@therealcervenka]

Their prices are finally coming down!

[@andrewholmblad4866]

Dark horse FTW. I just picked up mine !

[@therealcervenka]

Congrats!!

[@gopherit4952]

If your not using your dark horse to make $ You just made a bad financial decision. it's just a gt with mods nothing special at all
