the amount of counter steering on display makes it look like a rally onboard almost, what a monster of a car.

[@VelhaGuardaTricolor]

I am from the 70's, My first car, I had to counter steer to keep a straight line. 😉

[@zaph2o]

@@VelhaGuardaTricolor My first car had barely enough power to go in a straight line, which was very helpful for keeping things safe :D

[@chubbysumo2230]

its a 1960's mustang. the rear tires would be considered "donuts" by todays standards, and the car spent more time sideways going in a straight line than it did turning.

[@Umar-gw6fy]

Thats why they’re called boats

[@donfreeman2897]

I raced these vintage muscle cars for over 20 years, including a 1966 Shelby GT350, which would be very similar to what you drove here. I really enjoy watching younger drivers getting to experience what it takes to hustle these types of analog cars around a track. Gives a new appreciation for the skill level of the original drivers. Enjoy the race at Brands and hopefully by the end of the day you will be a competent dance partner with this great car.

[@act180]

"Dance partner" - love it 👍

[@Kinzoku_jp]

Im assuming you really gotta chuck it into turns to ge the most out of hey

[@chubbysumo2230]

No assists, no electronics, skinny tires, and an excess of power. these are most certainly fun to drive, but also not exactly a walk in a park either.

[@Michael_Ruiter]

I got the chance to align a 65 289 3spd at work the other day and it was such a surreal experience that you don't get with cars of today. I got it up to 45mph (speed limit of the "fast" road on our test route), and I loved every bit of that 5 min drive. I drive a manual Mk7 GTI right now and it felt like a toy right after the 65 lol. Thankfully only driving a manual made that 65 feel so natural, rev matched her perfectly and I loved the feeling of the long throw of the shifter with no power steering or power brakes even. Gave me a newfound respect for the racers of old and even the guys today that chuck these beautifully raw machines around.

[@DennisTea]

@@Kinzoku_jp Yeah. Old USA muscle cars were designed for dirt ovals. They're made to slide around corners

Why am I proud of this person, whom I have never met? I couldn’t be happier for you Steve. Been watching since you were chase cam on controller. The term Shadow Realm is being used in American sports and in hip hop. From influencer to taste-maker. Stay humble as you are, and you will go far. Cheers!

[@vash_dakari]

You can always use the American "Star in a Reasonably Priced Car" excuse about the shifter being on the wrong side; works every time.

[@antiproblematic]

It's so cool you've gone from playing silly Forza to now being on track with real racing cars like this, so many of us viewers are proud of you with all your success lately Steve!!!

[@josephmatuszak3855]

There is something that gets ya right in the soul when ya drive a machine so that is so raw and spartan. I love it.

[@OliverPickard]

getting comfortable with older cars that move around so much under you isn't something a lot of people used to modern cars can handle. nice job

[@hrgunit]

Nice you finally decided to join some real life daily race A action.

[@JuniorFanCirca1989]

Very cool. You got the feeling of the car really quickly, great job.

[@speedkilla2303]

Man, the scenery, the cars passing by, and the way you shift up and down that classic transmission. You're living a video game life man. Looks like Amazing fun!

Thank you for showcasing your eagerness to always learn new driving techniques, the older cars are so raw and analog you really have to lock in, you only become a stronger driver the more cars you can experience!

[@អ៊ុឹងជៀនឈៀន]

looking good

[@gt4lex]

Pretty quick learning with the heel & toe, I remember right when I got my licence, I spent a week practicing off brake double clutch rev match, and another week doing "false" then "true" heel & toe. Hope you guys have a good race !

[@johnscott33]

Great job Mr. Speed. If I could add a few notes for those that haven't actually driven cars like this. The "Heel Toe" thing is something that you need to really THINK about, the Why? At first. Then, the feel of What you Need to go faster should come naturally. In a car like that there would be a lot of engine braking and the need to keep your RPMS up. While downshifting alone will increase rpms, that increase is the Drivetrain/Wheels forcing the motor to turn faster. You need to get ahead of that drag so, coming out of a turn, the engine rpm and its trajectory is where it needs to be to get maximum power.

[@Seasonstobecheerful]

Historic motor racing is probably the most entertaining both on and off the track . Nice job, Steve 👍

[@christycullen2355]

Never thought I'd be watching Steve ripping it around in a Mustang. Congratulations on your journey!

[@josephmatuszak3855]

Seems like the light rain was more of a godsend for ya Steve. It helped to slow down the movements this car likes in a way that allowed you to see thru it.

I got to align (and test drive) a fully hand restored 65 Mustang the other day at work. It's such an amazing machine, even with the one I had having a 289 paired to a 3spd. Makes my Mk7 feel like a toy, and I actually stalled my car after driving the Mustang XD. I definitely need an old classic in my life, I loved how connected you are to that machine that can't be felt in todays cars

Remembering that sound of the Mustang since the days of Burnout and Juiced. Its still amazing how that engine roars timelessly.

I just noticed, we’re VERY close to a million subs. It’s only a matter of time!

[@sntslilhlpr6601]

Only a matter of time, for sure. The question is how long it will take. Viewership saturation is a very real thing and there aren't many people out there willing to sub to mostly sim content. And both Jimmy and Steve seem to have captured most of their potential audience. Their numbers are still incredibly impressive though, and I'm super happy for them.. They just don't have the mass appeal that someone like Misha does, which is why he blew past 1M this year. And that's ok. 1M is just a number, after all. They've already made it and their life won't change much when that number finally rolls over. I'm sure it will feel good to receive that plaque, though.

[@Pratalax]

This was awesome but my god, that brief moment of gt40! like a choir of angels.

Wow. Impressive. I would be so nerve racked after going into the gravel. So impressive. You really did great learning a new analog car like that

[@a8f235]

You learn quickly and as this is a very old car it's to be expected a few mishaps given the nature of such cars. Just part of the process. You did well.

[@chancesureshot2718]

I’m happy for Super GT, living the dream 🏎️

[@docslappy8946]

Good stuff. The sim learning experience is similar (rf2 Trans AM Golden Years): relearn you brake distances, throttle to steer, get used to opposite lock. Huge fun to drive but very very tricky to race consistently. Of course, not as much fun as you got doing it for real😀

[@ToXicWrld47]

A beautiful piece of history to drive! You drove it like a champ

[@aceplaysgamesnetwork9566]

Living the dream. Congrats. I don’t think I could ever risk driving a true classic like that. Maybe a remanufactured mustang I wouldn’t stress so much about

[@arkeys74]

Just going in a straight line looked like it required a lot of steering! And heel-toe is really tricky! A skill I don’t at all! Great video! What a car! 😃

Man, that full counter lock correction would have been epic to catch on TV camera, great driving Steve!

I started practicing heel toe downshifting a few months ago in my wrx. It takes some practice but once you get it down it’s so much better for keeping balance

[@MarshallLoveday]

A good amount of power from the relatively small V8, plus fairly skinny tires = Lots Of Fun. By the way, Steve, first-gen Mustang body parts are still readily available!

That overshoot is very common when learning heel toe or driving a new car. You did great bro

[@Grooove_e]

Operating entirely on mechanical grip and no downforce, I'm sure it was an amazing driving experience, and it can only make you even better!

[@tozkal96]

here's a tip for heeltoeing (if you want it). you can try to roll your foot and press the gas with the side of your foot/heel. i think you'll find it easier to maintain break pressure, have a better feeling for pedal position and how much gas your giving. also it might be easier as you won't extend your leg as much so it will be over all more comfortable and give you more confidence and control. great vid and driving as always:)

Depends on pedal position.

Wow. I’m so jealous of not only being able to drive such a cool mustang, but, that black winged car near the end of the second session that passed you was a Can-Am Shadow (I believe). It was a Can-Am for sure though. Those things sound amazing and are blitzing fast for their time. They have a lot of power and are very light, so they have to rely on the downforce from the aero. Go watch a video on KZbin by Jim Pace as he drives and narrates while driving about the Can-Am shadow.
