Is the 2024 Ford Mustang GT California Special the BEST new muscle car to BUY?

[@Cobra_Ken]

You never stop working , Joe. You deserve everything great 👍 🎉

[@RaitisRides]

That means the world Ken

[@GOD999MODE]

Once you get momentum, a taste of success and positive feedback, that's all you need to keep going. Can't forget about his supportive production partner and wife. What a great setup.

[@RaitisRides]

You are so very right!

[@arizonacolour8793]

He has 1m subs.... Imagine if we all donate him $1-5........ He can buy his highest dream car and make endless videos on it

[@milamber8397]

Raiti is saving up for the new 2025 cobra.

[@USA2ndAmendment]

I absolutely love the blue accents...especially the wheels! Worth it for me!

[@thadweber3631]

Not sharing TMI. But as a car enthusiast whenever I’m in the rest room I have to watch a @Raiti’s Rides. Love Joe and Lori! Lori is a best with camera angles, zooming and steadiness. Awesome couple! From New Orleans, Louisiana; Bless y’all.

[@RaitisRides]

You are the best brother! Thanks for being so supportive!

[@tigerhoods7927]

Man you really bring us the special exclusive content I always appreciate that 🔥

[@RaitisRides]

I love bringing it to you

[@TheSpeedDemon64]

11:42 I feel like muscle cars would be better with an aluminum dead pedal! I think everyone can agree on that. But anyways, Ford definitely hit the nail on the head with this new Mustang California Special! I love the car!

[@RaitisRides]

I agree with you!

[@jimmydeneus7109]

yes mr raiti can put this work to the test of youtube💯

[@RaitisRides]

Can’t do it without you Jimmy

[@davedave2882]

Mustang sales are going to go through the roof! With all the competitors throwing in the towel. Henry Ford would be proud! Everybody knows the man did not like change.

[@michaelsheedy]

What keeps Flat Rock busy is Europe with Mustang being Europe's best selling sports car.

[@michaelsheedy]

Never liked the CS Mustangs, but I do like this latest edition. The blue accents really set this trim level off. As a reasonable priced option, should be a popular option.

[@mikejames-drummerreginacan1386]

Very cool car....thanks Joe and Lori.

[@RaitisRides]

You are so very welcome Brother!

[@bradyvelvet9432]

My dad is looking into getting one! 😃

[@davidp2888]

Slick lookin' ride. Thanks for sharing it with us, Joe.

[@RaitisRides]

You are always very welcome David!

[@Striker50_]

Nice ride but Mustangs are no longer affordable! A $43,000 base GT Mustang is *$47,000* after fees and taxes

[@RaitisRides]

Nothing is affordable anymore

[@TheRareCriticalThinker]

Badass. I have a 1967 Mustang 289 but I always liked the CS. Glad they brought it back.

[@RaitisRides]

I totally agree with you!

[@McLeanGary]

I like the CS as a styling change, it's always been just different enough to be desirable. Great review Team Raiti!

[@RaitisRides]

Thanks for letting us share it with you Gary!

[@KirbyPuffy123]

DANG! Just refreshed my notifications and just seen this amazing Mustang video this thing look fire and amazing good one Raiti 🔥💪🤙

[@RaitisRides]

We have more to come!

[@vaughnoliver2810]

Great job Lori with the camera 📷

[@loriraiti4924]

Thank you!

[@Thebuscommunityleader]

Amazing review Joe.

[@davidwolf226]

Joe, yes, I would pay the extra $ for the California Special package and I am impressed with this convertible version. Also, as you stated, props to Lori for all of her efforts to make this channel the top-of-the-line production it is. God bless you both.

[@johng.4959]

Great looking Mustang! Tasteful and clean. Ford did a great job on the C/S!!!👍

[@MrKLenning]

I like the new CS model with the blue accents, but just not on the wheels. My 2016 CS has wheel pockets in gloss black, and I love it! Great review Joe!

[@nickshepley2566]

One of the better looking newer Mustangs I’d still rather have a 2022 GT Premium though, in Grabber Blue

[@RaitisRides]

Good call

[@gramb5611]

Another great video. Would've like see a small lip spoiler on the back, but that could added. Love the blue !!!!!!!

[@RaitisRides]

I totally agree with you!

[@toddhedman7959]

LOVE IT.......BLUE WHEELS are tight.....

[@RaitisRides]

I am glad that I can bring it to you!

Joe and Lori and Steve and keep up the great work real true and I love the video 👏 👍

You got it my brother!

[@YGTVYassirsGamingTechVlogs31]

Absolutely love your content! You share accurate information, your delivery is genuine and you’re quite the wordsmith lol! I can tell you really enjoy what you do! I came for the rides, but am staying for Joe!! 👍👍

[@RaitisRides]

I appreciate you taking the time to say that and for having my back.

[@ikeepita1009]

Hi raiti, will this be available in Canada?

[@RaitisRides]

That is a great question!

2024 Ford Mustang GT 5.0 CS California Special Rave Blue 60th Anniversary Edition Convertible!

[@RaitisRides]

You called it Scott!

[@franzvanjulio5523]

I would love the California Special route. You actually once recommended it to me. I want a nice, comfortable interior.

[@RaitisRides]

That is really fantastis!

[@DarkJediChrisG-1425]

Man Raiti Ford keeps knocking out their S650 platform Mustangs! It feels like I don't hear Mopar anymore. ..........What was that? Oh total silence Dodge 🔕. Mustang is king of the hill right now Raiti. Never too late for Mopar or no car to make a comeback.......

[@RaitisRides]

You better believe it!

[@comicrandomness3289]

I went to the auto show. I sat in this mustang. I did not see any dodge vehicles there. Such a shame.

[@DarkJediChrisG-1425]

@comicrandomness3289 Stellantis pulled out, blaming it on the strikes.

[@alanklaus7774]

Would like to see a blue outlined pony in the grill. No vent ok. Real nice looking without being overdone. Might be the perfect Mustang blend of performance and style.

[@kellymeade4587]

An Awesome review of the GT/CS Joe! Definitely a beautiful car. The silver really pops on the ‘24 Mustang. You have the best videographer…. and Your BEST Everything ….with Lori! You guys are an awesome team! I Wanted to give you another shoutout from Shelby NC. I did the Last time you were here testing the Dark Horse on the CMS Roval ! Great Job!!!🐎💯💯💯

That’s so awesome! Thanks for having my back!

Iconic Silver is my favorite Ford color and it looks *fantastic* with those wheels! That crazy rotating Mustang behind you though? It looks INSANE!

Always great!!!

You da man Joe!!!! Keep up your great work!!!

[@xp50player]

Joe lookin’ like a kid on Christmas morning with this new Mustang!

[@RaitisRides]

Heck yeah!

[@justin_grindley]

That blue trim almost gave me a hybrid-electric-induced heart attack, also first (I think)

[@RaitisRides]

It’s a darker blue so no worries.

[@koreyhimself]

They did right.. I'm proud of them. And the exhaust will continue to piss neighborhoods off for years more. 😂

[@RaitisRides]

Heck yeah!

[@josephwhiskeybeale]

I like how they ditched the tacky black appliqué on the rear end.

[@RaitisRides]

That is a nice touch!

[@jwogradyjr]

Very cool

[@RaitisRides]

I’m so glad that you think so

[@jwogradyjr]

I am the quintessential MOPAR guy…but this Mustang is next level

[@phantomstratocaster]

ford wanted to reward enthuesists by not having 2018 gt/cs 50 anv ,will never forgive them for that

[@paulabes4220]

What are the little led lights in the conner of the air intakes in the grill?

[@RaitisRides]

Just extra lighting Paul.

[@paulabes4220]

I heard from another video they said it was for pedestrians to see better. I am awaiting delivery of mine I guess I'll find out then@@RaitisRides

[@Theonestrongbusleader]

Yeah, Of course Joe.

[@RaitisRides]

Thanks brother for watching!

[@omarcortes5754]

The Mustang itself is a beauty but I don't like convertibles in general.

[@RaitisRides]

I’m with you! I love coupes!

[@koreyhimself]

I feel aftermarket scoops coming for the side fenders

[@RaitisRides]

I think you may be right Korey!

[@DavyDave1313]

Damn they really went lowkey with this one. I always thought the pony on the edge of the front grille was what really made the GT/CS stand out - also the GT/CS badging instead of the 5.0 but I guess you gotta try different things to keep it interesting

[@dreday2049]

I never like the fake scoops on the side

[@mystictk4149]

The GT looks awesome.

[@dusandestanovic5884]

Phenomenal.

[@RaitisRides]

I am so glad that you think so!

[@geminimoodswings1997]

This really the menace to society Mustang in 2024

[@RaitisRides]

Oh heck yeah!

[@franzvanjulio5523]

The body color and the wheels look very good! Lovely GT!

[@RaitisRides]

That is one of my favorite touches!

[@AmiKochlany5906]

Beautiful redesign for the 2024 Ford Mustang GT California 🏆🏆🏆💪💪💪.Beside the fact that you are bribed😊. Excellent review as always, Joe

[@darylthomas4676]

I love my 2022 CS and i love the 2024 CS and yes it's worth the extra money imo! So glad to see this heritage package moving forward with the Mustang Joe but WHAT WAS FORD THINKING NOT TO INCLUDE A SIDE FENDER SCOOP?! 🤨

[@shabyriuscarter6906]

Fire🎉

[@RaitisRides]

Heck yeah man!

[@ManuelCamomot-f1p]

Awesome Joe.

[@RaitisRides]

Thank you for taking the time to say that.

[@johnmick9457]

For me the Standard GT is the one I would buy. Don't care for the stripe or the blue accents. The grille without the pony is an improvement hopefully the aftermarket will give the 24 a proper grille.

[@JogBird]

seems like a mustang for ppl who dont want to be seen in a mustang

[@bikeautoview788]

Nice Car

[@RaitisRides]

It really is a very nice car!

[@Luscious3174]

GTD convertible 🔥🔥🔥 Seriously though, a Dark Horse convertible should be in the lineup - if a Shelby GT500 convertible can be had then so should that.

[@RaitisRides]

I am sure it will be coming!

[@alexismerced2981]

MJ size calipers 😂😂😂

[@RaitisRides]

They are huge!

[@CodyJohnson-rp7ln]

it’s a gorgeous convertible.

[@christopherchadick5331]

It's stunning, I love it.

[@PAX-GT2]

The back is outdated but the front is Epic

[@RaitisRides]

Outdated? What makes you say that?

[@PAX-GT2]

​@@RaitisRides Backlights too bulky, Exhausts a little bigger / than I would love this car, but it's a fine looking car

[@fortheloveofnoise]

​@@PAX-GT2lol tailpipes can never be too big! for me the zonk is that black plastic big piece on the rear bumper

[@93ksj]

Happy Thanksgiving Joe

[@anthonylipitt2993]

Blue rims are awesome 😎. No rear scoops are a zonk 💯%. However gt/cs convertible 5.0 make up for all of the mustangs zonks...

[@vaughnoliver2810]

To The Door Panels Joe

[@thecake6635]

Loving Ford's wheel game lately

[@davedave2882]

500 For the CS package,not a penny more.

[@ClickbaitMotorsports]

Great job, Joe. But this CS is the turdiest of all S650 turds. This one take the whole bowl.

[@jeromegriffiths4462]

That’s Nice 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@sammychoudhury-jf2mh]

Amazing video and stunning car by ford that is pretty nice for 2024 can’t wait to get behind the wheel of the stunning ford mustang especially GT California special And again joe you deserve a everything in life so keep up the great work in the videos can’t wait to see more content

[@berni303]

I prefer it without the fake scoop.

[@phantomstratocaster]

seem nice but when you consider the many other graphics available on the gt and the darkhorse it really kills your choices

[@varunislife4558]

How about wind noise with this edition?

[@RaitisRides]

It is actually not bad at all.

[@genearoth3970]

I like the the new 2024 California Speacial converiblie GT . Very nice looking car , I have a 2012 California Special GT hard top . I love the car Its a keeper . I have been thinking about a C S converible . I like your review on this car !' Gene ,

[@comicrandomness3289]

Yo. I sat in that car today. I went to the auto show. I was watching over my nieces. You probably weren't there but if you were i probably would have missed you. I don't think the screens work for me especially on a convertible. I saw a lot of glare from the lights on the ceiling. We should have an option for analog gauges.

[@westcruz3878]

Thnxs joe and Lori 🎥 for bringing that 🐎 to us 👍🏻🇺🇸💯 at least I have a picture of the horse on the brake pads

[@frozencold199]

how many different versions of the ford mustang can they make? what is this, the 50th special special edition?

[@RaitisRides]

Oh they haven plenty!

[@tomdrummy4984]

And I thought the California special was a Tesla. I like the silver with the blue wheels 🐴

[@batmunkhn6666]

Sharp looking car Joe but I still feel they should of added a rear wing spoiler. I still think my ZL1 is a better looking car than any mustang.

[@MurseTech64]

Looks good but I'll definitely take the Ioniq 5N all day over this

[@RaitisRides]

Everyone has their favorites!

[@kevincamilleri1695]

I won’t point out the bad panel gaps😊

[@sombut415]

😳wow

[@Phi.D.888]

Now, giving another reason for the dealerships 10k-20k markups

[@413x398]

Traits of the original are the side scoops, turn-signal hood with twist-locks, upswept trunk spoiler, and prominent rectangular fog lights. All of these are missing here. Yet another swing-and-a-miss by Ford. Sincerely, a '68 CS owner.

[@patrickd1805]

love the look of this one …especially the wheels, jus needs quad tips… but too much money

[@thaddeus46]

Please tell your friends at Ford to address 2 big issues: BBQ tick and the undercarriage issue. Who put those two intakes? right behind both front wheels. They fill with rocks and debris and are guaranteed to rust and rot. Very shoddy.

[@bradleykramer4183]

First ?

[@RaitisRides]

Yes you are!

[@demetrictucker1664]

Idky but I thought the F-150 in the back in the beginning of the video was a Big Ass wing on this Mustang lols

[@dancedad5094]

Iconic silver not ionic

[@RaitisRides]

You are so very right!

[@Jaygorski]

Awesome car, glad to see no EV crap, there is a god.

[@RaitisRides]

Tell me about it!

[@jimmyccee1083]

You forgot to mention it comes with a signature nameplate from the one and only Gavin Newsom

[@aliali-ce3yf]

that's a great looking car, but its hard to justify spending more than $30k on a mustang
