New vs . "Old" :2015 Mustang GT vs Classic Recreations "Villain" - /TUNED

[@AutoYoung]

To comment on the clutch issues you were having Matt, it's not the actual clutch but the pedal itself. It has this damn "helper" spring on it that makes it easier to press but harder to modulate. 10 minutes with a flat head screwdriver or similar pry tool and it's fixed.

[@phattyhales]

Auto Young Yeah, I don't know why Ford had to put that stupid spring there. It kills all feeling in the pedal.

[@tech4dummies584]

Chance Hales Auto Young I haven't driven a '15 GT yet, but my '13 GT clutch bites literally exactly halfway up on the pedal travel. I don't understand what any of you are talking about when you say "feel" in reference to the clutch, it's muscle memory. You don't have to think about it or feel it in these cars once you do it a few times. It should just happen.

[@phattyhales]

Tech4Dummies The pedal in the 15 feels weird. Its pretty numb and you can't feel when the clutch engages through the pedal like you can on most other cars. It is because of that stupid spring.

[@AutoYoung]

Tech4Dummies Take that spring off and I bet you notice a difference. It pushes almost at the top. Without the spring it's more linear and easier to modulate with that sprung fulcrum feel.

[@justmechanicthings]

Chance Hales It's to make it easier for your wife or your gay cousin to drive.

[@nickL7389]

Yank that clutch spring out. Did it on my fiesta st after hearing about how much better the feel is from some mustang guys.

[@MrDrmorbid]

The problem with trhe brakes is that most customizers just put on the Wildwoods, but don't use a master cylinder with a bore large enough (aka stock MC). So, to get all that volume of pistons to move outward, you need to feed tons of fluid from the MC. To do that, either you use lots of pedal travel or you increase the bore.

[@NewtonWashinton]

Well i don't like the look of the 2015 Mustang, and the other Mustang you said cost 150,000 with a crate Boss motor and losey brakes,... I think if i was going to spend 150,000 i would buy a base price Corvette Z06 for 80,000, buy a New full size Pickup for 30,000, buy a new Bass Boat that does 75mph on the water and still have 10,000 left over for Beer Party.

[@FRITZI999]

+Newton Washinton 100% true ... spend too much Money on one Car, when you can have three Fun Toys ;-) I do it the same way. Don´t buy expensive new Cars, instead I have a Sports car / Daily Driver and a Classic I am currently restoring ... and my Fridge is full of Beer for when my Buddy come along to work on our Cars. My Neighbor drives a shitty New Japanes Junk for the Price of two of my Cars ....

[@AntinutellasFC]

you right.... I will do the same if I have this money to buy a car.

[@bannablitz247]

+Newton Washinton exactly, whenever the question of if you could have on car i just Koenigsegg CCXR Trevita or something along those lines because that costs 4.8 million. I would sell it for like 4.3 and buy whatever the hell i want

[@shanerichardson9568]

+Newton Washinton Yes, you can have that car or... a house!

[@StBeter-tc2te]

+Christian Meier Or build one

[@cybertree]

THE ONLY THING NOT PERFECT ABOUT THAT 1968 MUSTANG IS: the price...

[@wheelzwheela]

This is what ford should be making.

[@LunaErosStudios]

It's amazing how many people don't know the difference. That is a 67 unibody. You can tell at the beltline right behind the doors. The 68's had a single accent 'C' bulge that was reminiscent of the 65's. This one has the 67 twin simulated scoops on each side so unless they grafted the twin 67 scoop sheet metal on each side of a 68, then it's a 67.

[@aprilsno43012]

I'm in love. I never heard of pro-touring. I've had '68, '83, '89, '92 convertible 5.0. and a '96 GT. I'm ready for a really great gift for myself.

[@Lastwordismine]

2:48 Door alignment is awesome!

[@NemesisDigitalMedia]

As a 2015 owner, I will tell you the clutch feel is fixed by removing the helper spring on the assembly. It takes 5 minutes to do and almost no tools. Did it the second day I got it, and the feel is all there :)

[@427060]

Matt, I'd like you to try removing the clutch assist spring on the '15. This was one of the first things I did to my ecoboost and it feels an order of magnitude better. The spring is halfway up the clutch pedal - just push the clutch in with one hand and pull the spring out with the other.

[@6spd85notch]

i have a 15gt and youre 100 percent right. the clutch is annoying. you have to ride it with the a/c on and when its off you sought of have to get right off it. BUT you do get used to it and the car is just awesome all the way around. I have a deep impact blue base gt with performance pack wheels. I love it. can't decide what exhaust to put on it. I think a gibson catback but i change my mind every day it seems like. You're a lucky dude. I watch all your videos beating the balls off of the nicest cars. Enjoy man thanks for the videos.

[@bayareamenace6011]

Worked at a used car dealer before (luxury cars) some still selling at 145k ..and the mustangs interior for the price is really amazing.. That's why I got one..i now roast tires on the daily and in comfort!

[@rudedogg6674]

matt, weren't you afraid the hood would come of? but nice car , when they finish it

[@TheSmokingTire]

Rude Dogg no, it has a backup latch like all hoods do.

[@rudedogg6674]

TheSmokingTire how about the door ? looked liked it didn't close that well. but than again, when they finish it , it should be a really nice car, love retromod's

[@rudedogg6674]

***** scary shit, but you were ok?

[@boomerisadog3899]

***** I used to do roofing and was taking a load of old shingles to the dump when the hood popped

[@kingkilla162]

Rude Dogg I had a guy in front of me hood come off and his license plate snapped and got stuck in my front bumper like a throwing Axe down the highway that was scary too lol

[@BmacRDX]

Matt, A popular, free and easy mod among the forum members is to remove the clutch assist spring. It makes a HUGE difference in feel.

[@stoneblue1795]

An honest review, how refreshing. I still like it, but for that kind of cash, you would think they could have taken the very common sag out of the door fit/latch, etc. Still a cool car....

[@christopheralexander8763]

RE: Clutch feel; I'm not reading the rest of the comments so this may be repetitive... There is a helper spring in the clutch metal assembly under the dash that is easily removed with a pair of needle-nose pliers. It would be easy to replace on a car that must be returned (non-destructive mod). It makes all the difference in the world to the clutch feel - or so I'm told. You should try it and let us know if it helps. :)

[@TreeGenie]

The reason for the noise is ur driver door was. Moving when u hit a bump probably slid rest of the way open.. you can see its not closed all the way at 2:48 where it should line up at side scoops is about an inch off

[@jamesvandyke5874]

I did see the Stickman you got on your arm. looks Awesome!! I'm sure Eddy would approve

[@jamesvandyke5874]

I have a 1971 Mach one I want to make into a pro touring car, mainly updated. where is there to do the best research.

[@thefinerthingsinlife4557]

I agree with your new model GT comments. I custom ordered a 2016 Mustang GT convertible. I'm in love with it. Just ask my wife. ; )

[@bkueser]

There is a spring on the clutch pedal you can remove and it will give you better feel. I did it to mine and like it a whole lot better.

[@aracsgo]

I love the 2015 mustang gt but I just can't get into the look, doesn't even look like a mustang anymore from the side

[@CaptOxBig]

Hi, how may I take ur order? It's side profile is built off of the fast back design.

[@snowcrest7863]

Hi, how may I take ur order? It's side profile looks very much like the original Mustang Fastback 65/66

[@jsawyer0617]

They tried to bring back the look of the 2002/2003 mustangs. If you look back at this century, they do something with a fans ration match it seems. The 2006-2011 I think it is, tried to match first gen, then slowly from 2012 to current trying to match that early 2000's look. At least that was my explanation for this far out design

[@charlesgreenwood8229]

Jonathan Sawyer couldn't agree more. It's like a cross blend of the new edge and the s197

[@samuelrs5138]

+Jonathan Sawyer I agree with this, and personally I liked that early-mid 2000s mustang more then the one that came after.... this is a really nice match. When that last gen Mustang came out the trend was all about retro styling, and while it was cool, I think it went a bit overboard and looked too chunky for a *Mustang*. This looks a lot more sleek, sexy and modern. There are touches to the older models but they went with that styling philosophy that birth the early 2000s Mustang and I really think it came out well.

[@BiGyElLoWtUrDYT]

As someone that lives in the UK we Have never got the mustang here, and for me I think the 2015 is real nice looking, it looks so stealthy and angry.

[@scottndawn]

Even the rear end, back, is raised like the 66- model!! Nice! I'll take one in black. Too bad i already have an 06 black gt. custom. I just need to put some mud tires on it now

[@EuropeansCars]

The looks of the "old" one is just so sweet

[@LaneHouse]

The annoying clutch pedal can be fixed by removing the clutch return spring. It is seriously the biggest annoyance with my car. It makes a smooth take off from a driveway with a bump impossible. The looks, some people hate it, some people love it. I think seeing it in person is needed before you can make that final decision, it has a lot of great lines that don't translate to photographs. And unless you're in the bay area where you see a rental convertible V6 2015 every few seconds, I'd hardly call them over saturated. I've seen only a handful on the road here in Utah.

[@chevy-is-a-good-boy]

The new Mustang is absolutely gorgeous - it has supercar looks even. Unfortunately I don't want a 'look at me' car, always been more of an understated sleeper kinda guy. But it's still great to know it's out there, kudos to anyone that owns one.

[@atheosxgaming]

so the video ended.... and all i could think was thats it?

[@buzzcrushtrendkill]

Nice review. I have the '15 GT and really enjoy it. Ford has pushed the refinement and it has a much more modern and sophisticated appeal is the aesthetics and engineering. I must say, air conditioning up through the seat cushions is one of my favorite features, crotchal cooling :-) I've shipped it to China and have the only 2015 Mustang GT in the country. People react like it is an exotic, I get more looks than the Ferrari's, Aston Martins or Lamborgini's (those cars are all over the place here).

[@andyshakin]

Agree about not being able to feel the clutch on a 2015 but it can be fixed in 2 minutes. Remove the clutch assist spring attached to the clutch pedal. Just did on mine and it is WAY better. Check out numerous videos and articles on this.

[@neverknowsbest4994]

as much as i dont like many fords... the 2015 mustang gt is pretty dope. and of all the new "retro" styled muscle car re-makes.. i hate the mustang the least. has good visibility. doesn't feel as large as the rest. and the new styling does it for me. they also make a great sound.

[@onwheels2564]

Wow, What a beautiful Mustang, I want one - just one :)

[@DaSkinnyGuy]

Hey Matt is there something wrong with the hood latch on the classic Mustang? It was flopping up and down or did you guys get lucky the hood didn't open and smack the windshield because it wasn't properly latched !

[@VicCross]

DaSkinnyGuy That was driving me crazy LOL.

[@DrifterKirrr]

DaSkinnyGuy and also the driverside's door wasn't locked properly

[@Danielski.]

DaSkinnyGuy He said the car was rushed for SEMA and that meant the hood latches did not work properly.

[@TheNextGenRacer]

DaSkinnyGuy He mentioned the hood latch problem along with the other ones when he was talking about Sema.

[@horrible_gamer9001]

Yeah what Feexy said but damn it was bothering me

[@DylanDunford]

TheSmokingTire Exhaust set up on the Pro-touring ? Sounds absolutely savage!!!!!

[@jmsueiro1]

150k?There are lots of better and faster car for that money

[@TACTICSRUS]

Sweet video Matt! Love the 2015 GT!! No doubt Id pick it any day over that $150k touring car.. Better car for less than quarter of the budget.. Its a no brainer to me.. :)

[@bsburner]

You can remove the clutch spring easily to gain clutch feel.

[@Tacomaholic]

Was this filmed in the Texas hill country?

[@EE-dt2mf]

I feel the same way about the clutch on the new Mustang. It's probably the only thing keeping me from buying one for this year. Maybe next year they'll tighten it up a bit.

[@Miatacrosser]

Ethan Engels The fix is already out by the tuners. Remove the clutch spring is all you have to do. Supposedly it's a fix on all Fords as someone here in the comments said he did that with his Fiesta ST and it made all the difference in the world.

[@blueovalfan23]

i can't believe that they finally got independent rear suspension on mustangs. i had a 89 cougar that wasn't a straight axle, had a 3.8 in it to. what were they thinking?

[@DJzSith]

Is it me or this car has some uneven fitting panels? -edit: nvm, SEMA car

[@Miatacrosser]

Tyrone Ross Is it me or did you not watch the video where he explained all that?

[@ShayneWolfe]

Miatacrosser Ha, got em....

[@DJzSith]

Miatacrosser At the time, no I did not.

[@HowToGoSupernova]

Cdffu8uy75

[@7REDDRACO7]

Neglect. He left the hood popped half open to help push the 'old-car' theory that manufacturers push to sell us so we don't make all our own cars. Except they never get the fact that the 'old-car' theory does NOT apply to restomods, and modded muscle cars and F5R type street/race cars or any re-engineering type vehicle for the benefit of the driver/passengers and vehicle/ car/ chariot/ wagon/ etc. 4x large Big company conglomerations are dysfunctional meant to feed the top feeders. We all should engineer all of our own vehicles buy and sell to each other and buy their vehicles also because, then we would all have the money.

[@someonewhatever611]

Who drives on the secondary latch? A good bump and the hood goes thru the windshield amd damages the cowl and hinges. Seen this 3 times in my life on old cars and trucks

[@jonathanhill5411]

At the beginning when he accelerates... that's a really interesting exhaust note? Maybe It's just me. Not sure if i like it or not lol.

[@ParadoxdesignsOrg]

A Watts linkage with a solid rear axle in SA/FB Rx-7's actually isn't too bad to use for bumpy roads, The mustangs problem was more about weight distribution & crappy factory suspension IMO.

[@randomfoxyfan2176]

I feel classic cars are 10 time cooler, louder and faster than new cars. Most classics are restored so that is why I think that.

[@JessShanahan]

I love the look of this new Mustang but judging by all these other comments, I'm in the minority. It looks fierce!

[@cptawsome731]

lol, i have this 68 mustang as a wallpapper, just started using it yesterday. And here it is in my subscriptionbox, what's the ods

[@DavidReese2ndA]

[@jhendren0001]

So has the mustang sales gone down since the new independent rear suspension? Less mustangs getting totalled/replaced

[@mrdudeman29]

the longer pedal travel isent willwoods fault its the break booster not pulling enough vacuum if you make it a maule break it will really stop

[@briscollama2521]

So what would be an alternative to the Wilwood brakes? Baer?

[@Hybrid330i]

Just an FYI: Pedal travel has 2/10ths of f**k all to do with calipers and more to do with what master cylinder/booster setup you have. I run SL-6 Wilwoods on my e30. But I have changed the MC to an Audi v8 25mm one to compensate.

[@hartsickdisciple]

I just can't get into the look of the 2015 Mustang...

[@jetjazz05]

hartsickdisciple The funny thing is I love it in photographs, but having seen an absolute oversaturation in the wild since it's the "NEW CAR" on the block... yeah, I'm not loving it. The hood especially bothers me, it's very flat and then curves like a bullet towards the front... basically the hood reminds me of what I don't like about a lot of concept cars, those unusually straight flat hoods for dramatic effect. Also the rear lights, the slope of them looks cool in pictures, but seeing them on the road? It looks a bit cartoony for my taste.

[@mr.bluenotedoobop]

hartsickdisciple Love the profile, love the rear, the front screams taurus.

[@hartsickdisciple]

Scott Eldred What's wrong with you?

[@hartsickdisciple]

Scott Eldred right.

[@chrisallot66]

hartsickdisciple I work next to a Ford distribution lot where they're constantly loading and unloading freshly built cars. I never get tired of seeing those orange and black/yellow and black GT's. Next to them is the Dodge parking lot, and I can honestly say the GT's are more eye caching then the hellcats. Even the florescent green Challengers. Looks are subjective, though.

[@mikesanto70]

@ Matt Farah, please explain your Willwood Brake comment better please , never heard that about Willwoods before, now I gotta go test some because I was about to drop some $$$ on a set, but after hearing that I need to find out for myself!!

[@doomerkid1]

the older mustang is a sweet car it's different and it stands out. It shows class and ingenuity.

[@whiskeydence02]

So a car that's about 50 years old with incredible horse power thrown together in a few weeks with seat belts and a hood latch that don't work on a road with allot of turns with a basically a wall on one side of you and a cliff on the other. Where do I sign up I'm in ;) LMAO That will be a sweet ride when they start producing them for the public. I'll never be able to get one but I can always dream :)

[@cobratoxic]

35.000 for a New 2015 mustang GT? OMG this car in my country will cost more than 100.000 €.

[@jerri0401]

cobratoxic what? the GT will be available in Germany for about 45-50k

[@cobratoxic]

jerri0401 I know, but in Portugal we have one tax that we call IA, IA is one tax that is applied for all new cars. If the car cost +- 50.000 € with IA is the double of the price. WE pay in Portugal the price of 2 new cars for one car.

[@heydude76]

1969-70 fastback is the years I find the best years to do this too

[@rickywojcik2326]

I'd like to see more tech specs in this comparison

[@mrksts1]

Guys that complain about a custom, ground-up built car costing $150k aren't the ones who can afford to buy them. Yes, there's a tidy markup on it, but for those who want something unique and cool it's worth it. I am NOT one of those well-heeled guys so it's nice to look at but ridiculous for me to consider. Down to Earth, I think the 2015 Mustang packs a lot performance for the money. With a big aftermarket support and now with a completely new suspension including IRS in the back, you can make it do whatever you want.

[@f2detaboada]

You guys should do a Revology mustang, they don't scrap old mustangs, they build 60's models from scratch.

[@Dunkaroos248]

[@markregner7478]

Being a classic mustang owner as well as an import owner, it's hard to say how much is too much when building a classic car. Both of my cars have the same amount of money into them and you can't take the classic out of the car no matter how much you sink into it. They will always have there squeaks and slight problems compared to a new off the shelf car.150k seems a bit high, but they also have to eat( they eat good I bet.Ha)These types of cars are not meant for everyone. Myself I would rather build than buy, that way I know we're the money is going.

[@Screamingkiwi123]

6 pot in rears is really excessive for the car isn't it? Also wouldn't the pedal feel be an issue of the master cylinder not having enough displacement? Please correct me if I'm wrong

[@jameshawkins809]

I really like the new Mustang but I am just patiently waiting on the Focus RS to come out next spring. I've always been a fan of the AWD sport sedans/hatchbacks but none have been American. We finally get one and I'm hoping it will destroy the Golf R/STI/S3. The next gen speed 3 and Dart SRT are rumored to be AWD also. This is my market but if the Focus is a let down then the Mustang it is. Why not both, not finished with my engineering degree.

[@jameshawkins809]

***** Thanks and what is illegal?

[@jameshawkins809]

Your profile name says it all. They are bringing the all new, AWD Focus RS to America which is the first focus RS ever to be sold in America here in the Spring of 2016. No one is speaking on the last generation one from 2009.

[@jameshawkins809]

***** Yup yup.

[@bustedback]

Maybe a test with the hood and drivers door closed?

[@pizzapingvin]

Seriously, not ONE DRAG race in the whole review, its like the defining factor of american muscle cars and makes reviews so much more fun...and few comparisons can be more fun than drag racing old vs. new since its one of the few things you can directly compare unlike for example handling, where old(e) suspensions cannot keep usually up with newer ones.

[@Smokercraft427]

Don't get me wrong... I'm a pro touring fan and certainly a fan of American made 60's cars from all of the big three. BUT! For $150,000 ! I'd buy a new ZO6 (which is a world class sports car) AND a very, very nice restored 60's car of my choice.

[@jo05dk]

..or that it looks like the driver's side door doesn't close properly, and the boot doesn't align.. They really did throw it together last minute it seems. I'd never go for a car that loud, and would of course insist on it being build properly, but yeah.. I like the overall look, and going by what Matt says about it, performancer and handling it's an interesting thing. The 2015 Mustang: I'm exited for european reviewers to get their hand on the first Mustang built like irt should have any place in this century. It's gonna be interesting to hear what those used to so much more will have to say about it. So far it's looking good imo. Could end up being a cheap alternative to a real car, and since we pay a shit ton for the clever european stuff, a cheap alternative would be welcomed;)

[@pgtmr2713]

***** Just wondering what your idea of a real car is? Not asking for brand loyalty here. Sure the leather isn't from cows that led a life of luxury, and the emblems aren't fashioned from platinum and sapphire gems, there is no 800 year old forest that had to be chopped down for veneer dash panels. It sounds like from what you said, this isn't a real car. If we were talking Vettes and plastic, I'd get it, or if these things still had solid rear axles, or even some glaring fault that sticks out like a sore thumb. It's better than 99.9% of what any European car owner currently has. What am I missing here?

[@jo05dk]

"It's better than 99.9% of what any European car owner currently has" I'd love for you to show me proof of that statement. Since we both know that you cant: making moronic statements like that only makes you look foolish. Do yourself a favour and stop. "A real car": One that doesn't make reviewers/owners go "nice car but the dashboard is cheap as fuck, the suspension needs so much fine tuning, aso aso aso". All the bs that comes with buying a built to be cheap and thrown away in a couple of years american car.

[@pgtmr2713]

Clarkson you ole devil, is that you? How's the jobless thing going... Most European cars are 4 cylinder fwd shit boxes, made by companies that don't meet our standards... We don't have Renault, Citroen, Fiat, Seat, Alfa Romeo, Skoda, Rover, etc.. Pfff look around you next time you go outside. As to the complaints about the Mustang, plastic is the norm for a car of this type, this dash looks fawkin nice to me. What is wrong with the new suspension? Jeez your just making stuff up. Mustang's and Fords in general are quality vehicles by the way. Competetive with Honda and Toyota. Try to buy a used one, prices are sky high.

[@OGAaronAlton]

***** I noticed the same thing. Matt must have been taking it easy on those guys when he only mentioned two faults.

We were talking about the 2015, not the 47 year old Mustang slapped together for a SEMA show... which is a crime against a classic. +jo05dk Nobody ever throws away a Mustang either, they'll sell it to someone who will fix it in almost any condition. I still stand by my 99.9% number. A BMW M3/M4 is about the level I'm comparing the new Mustang to, so anything less gets lumped into that very achievable 99.9% number. The BMW is above the Mustang in every subjective category, but the performance level should be about even. Where else are you going to get that for the money a Mustang costs? It's better than any hot hatch or diesel anything and the list of cars that could actually beat it is miniscule compared to the ones that don't. I'll even give it to you that a lot of American cars are disposable junk, this one is and has always been an exception to that rule.

2015 Mustang has more in common with a SN95 body style than any other year. I am ok with that, I like the SN95. Lots of people don;t. All this means is in a few years when the new wears off, people are going to hate on this Mustang. Although, what's new, the Mustang is the car the car guys love to hate. it's simultaneously one of the most ragged on cars, and considered a benchmark of performance. Don't agree? Ask yourself how many times you see people comparing some car to a Mustang, be it speed or handling, how often it comes up in videos of street races and even head to heads and the comment wars it starts. At the end of the day, the Mustang is an affordable car that is sporty enough to be a lot of fun, but comfortable enough you can drive it to work every day if you want, and it's been that way for a loooong time now.
