Is This The Best Ford Mustang GT Ever? 2018 Mustang 5.0 Driven and Reviewed

[@samuraiwarrior77]

I love my 2018 Mustang GT. Not a day goes by that I’m not excited to get up and drive. It really makes people smile. It’s my 4th one and yes it’s the best yet. Always prayin for sunshine!!

[@RiffShark007]

Man, what a dream! im 17 years old ive always wanted a mustang ever since I saw the brand new 4 eye mustang GT in 2013. Im still wishing that I could get this exact year model, the 2018 GT, I just love the aggressive frown of the headlights, it just makes to look so menacing. Great car man!

[@demonspeed9906]

Had a 2018 Mustang GT for a weekend. Fun car -- handles great, sounds fantastic, it's everlovingly LOUD. 460 hp. On a full tank of regular unleaded, I was able to travel 400 kilometres (248 miles) before refueling. I was driving it pretty hard in track mode, but yeah, if fuel economy is important to you, get a Focus or a Corolla. The 2018 Mustang offers better bang for the buck than the 2018 Challenger R/T (385 hp), and they both cost about the same. Two thumbs up for the '18 Mustang.

[@MDKN22]

It is because it can go from a stop to 60 in less than 4 seconds. That’s entry-level supercar and/or sports car territory... for like only $40k

[@toodanderson351]

[@mikeross6043]

Only the auto can do less than 4.0

[@chrisvela5462]

[@philtripe]

dayum! love that second gear chirp

[@ms3ben]

[@Jugglenaught1980]

[@papabacardi5644]

Why is bill Clinton working for ford now?

[@olina5563]

fortis619 off topic lol

[@albertkikes5664]

Papa Bacardi 😂😂😂😂

[@nicholassmith7048]

To appeal to black buyers.

[@TheYummyBrand]

Papa Bacardi they needed more HR nightmares

[@P71ScrewHead]

Papa Bacardi, haha, same thing I was gonna say!!

[@padistedor]

This car seems to have the perfect combination of muscle and tech. None of the dealerships near me have any yet. I want to buy one.

[@5point0h67]

I had no idea the new 5.0 had 460 hp.. I think my brothers 13’ 5.0 had 420 hp? That’s awesome

[@naturespathasmr]

Roman looks good in high heels.

[@abdullahalbesher3279]

Them gt models in red are amazing

[@davidcovey3001]

The new Engine Cover for the 5.0 is horrible...

[@jacobmerrifield4587]

David Covey I agree

[@BitcoinTo150K]

Agree too had a 15 more plastic doesn't help

[@voodoodiecast]

Yeah, looks so flat but hey we can always take it off.

[@davidcovey3001]

Yeah, taking it off will obviously be the fix! I can't help but wonder why they changed it from the previous one? It looked so nice before!

[@ajtamburino4585]

David Covey it is I️ would take it off right away. I️ would buy a 2018 and put on the 15-17’s front and rear bumper, hood, and lights. I️ would only buy it for the features

[@frankionni8810]

He keeps saying 5 more HP than the Camaro, but the Camaro is still up 35 lbs-ft of torque. Personally I'd rather +35 torque over +5 HP. But that 10 speed auto is going to be beastly.

[@champagne6534]

Facts

[@justin8758]

Horsepower sells cars, torque wins races

[@greggymcgreggins]

On 1.2 less litres...

[@chokekoo983]

Greg Miller Which means nothing. The Coyote is DOHC and is designed to be a peakier, higher RPM engine, and it is physically larger and no more efficient than the GM's LT1. HP/L is a 100% useless metric because horsepower is a function of torque and time. That is why we also must consider RPM. In the case of the Mustang, it's 7,000RPM peak and 7,500RPM redline, much higher than the LT1.

[@kikom111]

Yeah it has a lot more torque but 0-60 times they both are dead even. Can’t go wrong with neither.

[@pwrshots]

the mazda pulled him at 1:42. :) that second gear chirp souds sweet.

[@Ford_Raptor_R_720hp_V8]

Los Angeles is the car capital of the world. With that much Traffic I'm going with the 10-speed

[@DeiHarper9361]

Great, they're finally giving this baby some power.

[@blackericdenice]

It would be nice to know at what rpm it makes 460 hp.

[@yaboialex707_8]

the only thing that bothers me of this new mustang is the 5.0's engine cover 😂 it looks weird the older one was way better.

[@DanielBlaney]

it has to have sound deadening in it to quiet down the loud direct injection lifter noise. All direct injection cars need this.

[@Jugglenaught1980]

Interesting. This is true? I've never heard that before. I thought it was just for looks.

[@DanielBlaney]

Greb Nitty yup it's true. Take a look at any of the ecoboost engines. They have the same thing. They are direct injection as well.

[@ShelbygtR-wo8wh]

The base GT starts at $35,095,Premium is $39,095

[@ThatGuyDad]

Damn you daycare and mortgage, damn you!

[@DeiHarper9361]

Randy Holland You'll get there bud. Be patient.

[@derekward2921]

Should of thought of that before you went there!

[@roguedogx]

what I want to know, and I know this is odd, is the mustangs new 10 speed fast enough to make it as fun as a typical DCT?

[@jkheslekrants]

All the new and extremely exciting new changes on this car are all things That Chevrolet owners have been enjoying for years. It's exciting and im thankful Ford has finally stepped it up but really all i can say is "It's about time". Now, does this car have launch control, No lift shift, automatic hill start assist and the ability to lower the windows via the key fob? All things the Camaro has

[@ejfig2326]

Man.. first they show those heels and then you hear Roman's voice. Talk about disappointment. LOL!

[@GaryKetchum808]

[@danielblanchard15]

Love the TFLC, keep it up!

[@staggeredhorizons3657]

still warming up to that front end... good video!

[@XxdubsxX]

Why is everyone hating on the front end?? It's lower and I think it looks great.

[@Sayua-chan]

It was unnecessary. Previous headlights were better looking.

[@MrMakeitnasty]

fndubs something with the headlights makes it look sad

[@burgerbattle]

I like it, it looks infuriated because it wants to run these thots over.

[@MrStlover99]

fndubs because the previous model was banging

[@GX--X01]

fndubs cause they can

[@oarias5158]

American Muscle! Love that channel

[@mikechavez109]

That honey comb grill configuration is exactly like my 2014 fiesta ST

[@johngarrett9310]

Why pay 50k+ for a maxed out GT when the GT350 starts at 57k. That's like 80 more horsepower.

[@99-Zulu]

Thats with all the options, not only that, the performance pack 2 will finally allow the gt to be quicker than a camaro v6 1le around all tracks. On some tracks before the facelift the v6 1le was quicker on a lot of the tracks. If you really look at the facelifted mustang like I do, its just as quick as the gt350 in a straight line for 7k less. Add the 7k into the mustang and you get a mustang that can do both track and straight lines.

[@johngarrett9310]

Anthony Weeks The GT350 is my dream car but is it not worth it when compared to the GT

[@thethor3483]

Dealers add 6-10k to the price of the 350 over msrp, and they will take off about 4k for a gt. Price isnt close at all.

[@WhaddupImJohn]

John try another $10k in markups for the gt350

[@chadnijim7323]

@John The GT350 is most definitely worth the 7k price bump when you factor in the fact the Mustang GT will depreciate like crazy and the GT350 will hold value much better.

[@bigozimak]

The best part of the 18 update is that EPIC noise. 10 speed auto, surely that's too many.

[@derekward2921]

Way too many speeds, constantly down shifting when braking, unless you like a bad manual shifter driver! 6 Speed auto is all you need, have all of the racing modes and paddle shifters without the damn manual clutch.

[@Ford_Raptor_R_720hp_V8]

You don't know anything about it

[@SpyderRios]

I hope Ford is listening to what I say because this Mustang with the Active exhaust sounds exactly like Frank Bullitt's Mustang. So hey Ford how about a 2019 Bullitt? I am yet to see the 2018 in person but man does it look good with the PP2 performance package, so far my favorite. I think should get rid of the PP1 package wheels for good and keep the PP2 wheels more affordable by using the tire set up of the PP1 while offering the aggressive tire and other upgrades set up in the PP2

[@wp31144]

What’s the long term reliability of magna ride dampers? Do they last as long as normal shocks/struts?

[@karlyes9202]

tears actually drip down from my eyes when i saw the Price of my dream car XD

[@Slacksfifth]

Love the front corner lights of this 2018 mustang.

[@azguitar]

Good review Roman! I would like to see the Mustang GT get a HUD.

[@supremeetnel7707]

How’s the handling ??

[@ElegantPotatoes]

Finally, a Ford employee who knows what he's talking about.

[@ruff5005]

I like some of the new options like the magnetic ride and exhaust but I'll stick with my 15 thanks. Good review!

[@4sake123]

Gotta admit, I hated the new front end when I first saw it leaked. After seeing it in person it has grown on me though. Still don't like the glossy grill however.

[@Jonathan1003]

Those red leather recaros look amazing

[@2real2btold]

I want one so bad but honestly the 10 speed auto is way more attractive the steering shifter is really nice on the new ones and that dash and seats and variable exhaust sooo nice

[@grabir01]

Rev limited to 155? I think he means speed limited to 155mph. IS there any way to disable this function? I need to go faster than 155 for sure.

[@VQHRZ]

From certain angles I think the front end isn’t bad but from most I feel it looks too scrunched. Plus gloss black on the top half of the grille and matte on the bottom? Cmon... I do like the higher redline though.

[@kevinhabener1279]

So, is the new 2018 body a good 100-200 pounds lighter than the '15-17 body? The changes look pretty subtle to me, but that doesn't necessarily mean they are. By the way, I may drive a Chevy truck, but I do have a 2012 base Stang for my actual daily driver.

[@NauticaloneEd]

Is the magnetic ride control feature available only with the performance pack trim?

[@olina5563]

This video is not showing up on your channel??

[@burgerbattle]

just graduated fresh off campus, uhh. E D I T: oops wrong video, nice mustang :)

[@mckookie2967]

Duck Fayce goddamnit jeffrey

[@derekward2921]

In the U.S. these days, good luck finding a job that pays anything, much less one to afford a new car! Good luck though!

[@kikom111]

How would you say the new mustang compares to the camaro?

[@joemomma7161]

You have to pay extra 2k to upgrade interior equipment in order to purchase the magnetic damping system. I’m ok with paying $3,995 for the performance package and $1,695 for the magnetic ride damping system. I am not ok with paying an extra 2k for interior, especially when I don’t care for interior at all. In march of 2012, I purchased my brand new 2012 mustang gt (auto) for $25,500 (most basic model available). MSRP was $29,999 but I was able to bring price down because it was the last 2012 on the lot. Guess I won’t be getting anywhere close to that but we should be able to get the GT for 3-4 off MSRP. Shouldn’t be a problem. Anybody know if there is away of getting magnetic damping without upgrade interior?

[@DownUnder43]

It will pull more horse power than the Turbo but won't take off quicker. V8s are a thing of the pass.

[@xXx-ew4ny]

The front end look great It’s really good

[@mytruckinlifeace4047]

It’s not as different looking as I first thought. For some reason I thought it was going to be more Shelby looking. I still love it.

[@ericmartin894]

I would never pay $50,000 for a resale value falling Mustang . give me a Corvette anyday over this

[@Ford_Raptor_R_720hp_V8]

Corvette values drop like a rock, and at the moment GM can't give those cars away

[@ericmartin894]

Escape for Mankind is Keith Johnson yeah well a Corvette will embarrass that turd. no matter how much power it makes.ford pricing themselves right out of the market

[@Ford_Raptor_R_720hp_V8]

People want Quality, Sophistication, and Performance, and those things don't come cheap

[@Fingamyaz]

Car is never a good investment. If u worry about how long it’s worth after 5 years then don’t buy a car.

[@getalife8234]

Then buy a used one

[@mugensamurai]

I love how you all at TFLC have mastered the art of incorporating porno into your video intros.

[@C29-m3c]

ehhhh starting to warm up to the new front

[@coryr9938]

Definitely a step up but I'd still prefer an LT1 with all that torque under the hood. The Coyote has never been good in that aspect.

[@dylanw890]

I love the new 2018 Ford Mustang, but what I think would be even cooler if Ford would take the Mustang logo and put it on the hood similar to an AMG Mercedes-Benz. I think it would give it an even more unique look and make the grill look a lot cleaner!

[@MasterCarguy44-pk2dq]

Hey FAST LANE CAR, that's 448 hp on CA 91 or any other state with 91 or less.

[@lsmocyclist]

Man I love that sound !!!!

[@graham3400]

I've grown to like the new front bumper. Not more than the outgoing one, but equally.

[@letsgobrandon416]

You know it would be great if you could review the base model Gt. Not all of us are going to spec out every option. I'm thinking about getting a 2018 base GT, but is it still fun? Even without the performance pack and magnetic ride?

[@NWI_Steel]

Its a marketing video. Ford has to highlight the new features

[@chrissanchez9218]

5 years late I have 2020 5.0 with 301A package has normal, sport, sport+, track , and drag strip mode. I never used any of the modes I only use sport mode with the paddle shifters and it’s fun

[@magneto8002]

I love my 2018 Performance package Mustang.

[@scatpack1381]

Nice review.

[@Biskawow]

I remember when Clarckson mocked Americans in his CTS-V review like 10+ years ago. Today, the best selling sports car ...IN THE WORLD just got better.

[@yippie6862]

Wish you could have tried one with the new 10 speed. Curious how it is.

[@Jugglenaught1980]

The active exhaust is a $1000 option. It's not on every GT. I think some people would benefit from information like this.

[@shawnmeyer678]

I agree. I just updated for a 05 v6 to 2018 v8 alot more to look at and get used too. I thought I had alot more options but not as many as I thought....

[@krisskuli]

I looks akward... What did they change at the front?

[@MisterMikeTexas]

That exhaust is bitchin! I recently drove the 6 speed GT. That gearshift was quick and precise.

[@dsilvap]

In my country we didn't get the digital gauges and the sport exhaust

Too bad, I normally prefer analogue gauges but this digital display is fantastic.

[@andersondavis2093]

Is the manual faster than the automatic because it is lighter.

[@mobgma]

Is this the most scared public crowds should be? I am scared for my life with the mustang on the streets for fear of noob drivers plowing me over.

[@_baller]

Cars are getting so technologically advanced that car guys cant even explain what is going on anymore.. its for tech guys now

[@joncon4177]

No shocks on the hood at that price?

Cool car wish we had more exhaust clips

[@eeshunique]

as good as the stangs keep getting, pretty much every goodie is an extra added cost option though! like have you guys seen the options list. It's ridiculous

[@jaden.sanderson]

1:18 Sure it has 5 more HP. You didn't mention the Camaro has 35 more lbs ft. of torque.

[@officialtjtrev8910]

Yet the 0-60 is 3.9 while the camaros is 4.2

[@chrismann420]

Ok... , So it's growing on me ...! I cant see the engine under that Engine Cover. ? I like the new Dig. Dash gauges look cool..! Nice review of the 2018 it's only 50K ...ohhhhh.... !!!

[@tethorow5131]

although the last generation sold very good. Ford should make a drastically change on the 18 one. it seems like no one want to trade out their 17 stang for a new 18, they might just waiting for 3 more years or buy a challenger as well. At this point the 18 challenger do beat mustang and camaro. saf

[@ravenstylea2]

Much improved!!

[@michaelsylvesterii827]

You must be mistaking this 2018 Hyundai Elantra Coupe for a Mustang

[@voodoodiecast]

Then I guess you're in the wrong video.

You are trying to hard

I really admire the current gen Camaro and Mustang, as my 1st car was a Firebird. But I would have a really hard time paying $50k for either at my age. I would rather get an M240i as my dd.

[@carloscoy6635]

I own both mustang n a camaro but i just dont like the f150 style dash

[@torredcat]

That sound 😍😍😍🤤🤤🤤🤤

[@johnyou35]

Man, I didn’t wait until the ‘18 came out, and I’m glad I didn’t. My ‘17 GT looks FAR better IMO, My ‘17 was stickered at $35,000 (even), and that was with optional wheels, and the 3.55:1 gear. A K&N intake and a tune got me to about 455 crank HP. And I bought that car for under $30,000 after rebates. $39,000 for. a base GT is ridiculous. I’ll keep my 2017.

The 18 is better in every way and would smoke your 2017.

[@officialtjtrev8910]

Flop gen lmfao. These 10s can beat hellcats something a gen 2 could never do NA and a KNN and tune wont get you to 455 lmfao

[@jeremyv11000]

I’m a chevy guy but the mustangs exterior now is extremely aggressive. But I still prefer the camaro interior.

[@voodoodiecast]

Agreed, at first I don't like it but now I think is it aggressive than ever.

[@jamesbarrick3403]

I'm a Chevy guy too... but I think the Camaro is ugly all around inside and out. I will buy a Mustang soon. Ford has come a long way from decades ago. GM still makes great cars and trucks, but the Camaro looks like a hot wheels car I hate it. It has no visibility either.

[@7071t6]

So basically around the 75K right hand drive, which is real crap when you think of it, because there's no ford support in Australia or holden support for any other Chevy models you might want ?

[@coopsnz1]

its 57k in Australia ., The mustang costs more because of union demands like Australia

[@7071t6]

Thats for the first gen Mustang ie: 2015 or 2016, the 2018 will be a lot more than that ?

[@coopsnz1]

60k

[@coopsnz1]

in Australia you can add tickford kit for 54kw gain . will be 400kw with tickford kit the 2018 model

[@7071t6]

I am talking about the 2018 Mustang,which already has 450 HP or 335 KW, lower bonnet and a few new extras compared to the last model? if true, then all those owners how own the current model will trade in, if its 60K and then add the Extra power and extra $$ to get the tickford model ? cheers :)

[@TJ85234]

Does it still have the mt82

[@DavePopeMusic]

It got a 3 out of 5 star safety rating which is 1 star better than the previous death trap. So yes, it is better.

[@PheonFierce]

I think the front end is more aggressive and classy. I hated all the desighns until this one.

[@wil_leighton1618]

[@shiny0773]

Wil_Leighton you have a skat pack?

[@shiny0773]

Wil_Leighton so you pull away from 2016 and 17 SS after 90? jeez those 6.4 must love the top end.

[@wil_leighton1618]

doesit go100 , I have a charger scat and sorry for the confusion, but the camao actually pulls away easily. The Camao SS and Scat leave the 15-17 mustangs in the dust.

They only modified the from a bit n everyone is hating on it like tf in a couple months u r going to think it’s spicy and then when they release a new mustang ur going to think it looks nasty
