Maticalise Music Master THANK YOU GOD BLESS

[@zeldacuz]

He said it softens up the rear in drag mode. How can it do that if it doesn't have magnetic dampers?

[@danielruch1346]

Best Review of all the Reviews I saw up to now. Really gives a feel for the car. Cudos! WELL done! Love you

[@ladenalihd3501]

Maticalise Music Master omg thank you

[@NathanIrizarry1]

Maticalise Music Master thx

[@2008equinox]

Finally a review "without" active exhaust. Sounds great. Agree, best stock sound ever on a GT.

[@carlneb8619]

Change the standard exhaust to Roush axle-backs and it really comes alive!

[@shadad07]

on of the best reviews i have seen for the Mustang GT 2018! thank you. keep up the good work.

[@kobzster06]

Always been a Mustang fan, and this excites me like no other. A 'conventional' Mustang GT that goes 0-60 in less than 4 seconds, 460 horsepower, what's not to like.

[@mikehughes8023]

How about over $40K for a base GT as a starting price.... Still not as bad though for some.

[@deetm6262]

that hp number is underrated.. stock they make 490 to the crank 430 to the wheels

[@DanielBlaney]

it starts at 35k and theres tons of incentives right now. people are buying these for under 30k out the door.

[@dgillies5420]

I have heard that this new engine has far more low-end torque than the GT350.

[@internetpolice1166]

Bought my 18' base model GT a month ago for $28.5k (plus taxes/tags/GAP) w/ military discount and trading in a Ford discount. Was sitting on the dealership lot for 6 months and they just wanted to get rid of it. 23 miles on it....guess everyone wants a premium, but for that discount I'll buy my own leather seats and Sync 3 hub from eBay salvage part sellers.

[@Eliyourcarguy]

Great review as always. I'm a big fan of the 2018 refresh. Just filmed one and liked it even more after seeing it in person!

[@Mekaeshi]

Another Great Review My Bro, Thank you so much and keep it up.

[@donwa7772]

Love the steady-cam set-up! No nausea induced, like many videos.

[@donwa7772]

Except when you have the camera on your head... Where's my Dramamine?

[@clark-n-anitakalens7599]

Other car review techs need lessons from you Forrest! I'm so tired of hearing them explain why they won't hit it hard because they respect that someone will buy "this" car so I won't drive it hard. Thanks for the multiple examples of how the car behaves at WOT! I really like the true zero to 60 pull!

[@tarunsingh6600]

really in depth and informative, great job!

[@MrVb66]

You do a great job with your reviews keep up the good work look forward to watching more

[@blackpopeye5749]

U did a really good job with this video , the car exterior and interior looks badass

[@samw8882]

Recently test drove one of these and man I'm impressed, I'm planning on getting one soon as possible

[@paultucker1272]

Fantastic review, thank you. An '18 PP1 Auto with MagneRide and the active exhaust......in Orange Fury, black roof. That's my dream Mustang, right there. Thanks again for a great review :)

[@bartoszwolak8864]

The best 2018 Mustang GT Review !

[@EdsonH1011]

Ayeeee I’m from Dallas! Keep up the good work my man 💯

[@EdsonH1011]

I wish I could go, but I go to boot camp Monday 🤙🏻 I’ll be back in February lol I’ll just watch all the videos I’ve missed 👍🏻👌🏻

[@chadclark2684]

I have a 15 GT and am drooling big time!!! Damn it!!

[@darkskies45]

Thanks for that review

[@alecj9570]

Very informative review

[@Bebopin-69]

There was a time when one would choose a manual over an auto because one wanted the sportier and faster car. Nowadays choosing a manual is a conscious choice of a slower car. But in an era of over engineered machines, that have 360 degrees nanies watching over and acting in the place of the driver(soon driverless car), and 0 degrees of emotions and involvement, (my opinion), a manual really is the only good choice if one wants to really the rewards that driving can give. I drive an audi S3 and boy do i miss my previous cars (multiple STI's, SVT Cobras, Audi S4m6)

[@beauhawk1146]

I too grew up driving manuals, and I too bought an S3 because the STI is now slow and overpriced. I to missed the enjoyment of rowing through the gears scooting around town. Then I got the S3 on a track, and so should you! lol

[@nairbyad7188]

when you keep cars a long time, you'll see that autos breaking causing a $4,000 repair bill every 120,000 miles. much cheaper to replace the clutch

[@michaelschafer4073]

To be fair manual is cheaper so for broke asses like myself I'll take the manual and learn to shift myself rather than use automatic 😜

[@SandeepSingh-we7qb]

If you like to drive buy the manual. If you are an arm chair driver who only likes to see numbers go with the auto.

[@JustAnotherKyd]

Love your review! Ford just keeps finding ways to keep my heart. And money. Lol

[@croydenbenny6090]

The new Mustang is coolest car ever

[@Jaime7188]

Such a huge upgrade from the 2008 GT California special my one friend had. My only thing is I don't care how good the automatic is, I hope they keep improving the manuals too.

[@DaleWalkerHoleshot]

Very nice review, thank you !

[@DaleWalkerHoleshot]

Your very welcome, click on my logo to see what I do with my bike parts and other stuff, cheers DW

[@dg7438]

This car is gorgeous and aggressive.. Love the styling

[@fhicks6]

I want this car bad! Great review!

[@lucidjackson8291]

Thank god they updated the gauge cluster holy fuck its about time

[@lorinjones3007]

Great job!

[@paulguy2545]

A great video there about the Ford Mustang GT, I enjoyed it! Just a question though, what was that Wheel-Spin between Gear-Changes.... is this common with the Mustang, or Performance Cars in general?

[@buschg7106]

Color is amazing. Same as my 17 GT Convertible

[@jimspurr6746]

Hey Matt, I've just been looking at protecting a Bullitt with Xpel over here in the UK. It's pricey....but sounds like a worthwhile investment. Just wondering if they managed to get the drawings for the Bullitt, or did they just use a 19' GT for the panel templates?

[@enriqueamaya141]

Great video!!!!

[@greenwaytruckinginc6134]

0-60!👌🏾🔥🔥🔥 You Definitely can get a tad quicker!

[@LS7chevy]

Automatics are way faster now. All racers are using automatics! People might not like it, but to bad. It’s about winning now?

[@kageinu92]

woo fellow texan! i live in irving by westway ford. plan on getting one of these bad boys soon

[@jrag1000]

Looks hot hot hot hot hot! Any of ya'll think the side badging needs just a little bit more decoration? 5.0 is just so subtle for the badness that is a Mustang GT. Like a Silver Mustang or something.

[@marchwheeler9390]

ford quality prevails

[@dukkkman]

love it ( and I don't mind that front end )

[@remmyredd]

What camera did you use for filming? Seems really crisp and color balanced.

[@sunnyside9273]

Good job, you have a new subscriber

[@FreedomForce100]

Good job Ford. Hands down the best value for your money in that category. Needs some cleaner finish. What was that gap on the carpet near the pedals?

[@newfie-dean5803]

Nice review. Sick car, love that colour. I'm not really a fan of black wheels but they sure look awesome on that car!

[@JustinAEgan]

I agree! ... I have never liked Black wheels, on a street driven car - it just seems kind'a lazy (black wheels) when there are so many chrome, polished/anodized aluminum ... mag wheels out there, which can make your "Pop", as you drive down the boulevard! But, that's the way the factory "Style Guru's" have dictated sporty cars 'should' look. On the other hand...in real life, you have to play the hand you are given; at least - until you can find something better! I still like the factory PP (performance pack)gloss black wheels (when they are clean - fresh after a through "detailing session" over the weekend - then you have drive around with them...they get covered in brake dust - oh so quick). When you have the GT/PP Bembo brakes... it hard to find good looking wheels...which don't require using 'spacers' to fit over those 6-piston calipers - so you keep looking - hoping to find a after market supplier who "gets it". I am almost tempted to get the gloss Silver/nickle PP optional - but to justify swapping for the exact same wheels (just in a different color - I need to fool myself that its 'somehow' a performance upgrade! Problem is - they have the same specs. If they were 19x10, 20x11 - or lighter weight...anything! - then I would buy them in a hot, New York minute! ...Maybe, once the 2018 GT/PP/L2 (Level 2) models hit the streets next spring... I'll be tempted to justify at least getting the wider, 'square' front/rear wheel setup to install on the earlier 2015 - 2017 GT/PP - they are 'supposed' to be 19x10 or 19x11 - front and rear or maybe staggered 19x 10 front , 19x11 rear?...We'll wait and see ... maybe they'll come in Gloss silver/nickle - if true,..then we got's us some - Gravy!

[@romangrom6853]

Love the way the car looks. Let's Ford work on this 10 speed gear box and next year model should be good.

[@kalwillis8717]

Love the wheels 👍

[@daverunner3397]

I had a 2017 ecoboost premium convertible for a week, Great interior, handled very well(I drove the shit out of it) and power was pretty good.

[@steveriddle313]

very nice i want one

[@xBetterxDays]

Which package gives the digital dash? And can you start your car with the key fob? Looking for an automatic. Been driving a stick for 8 years. Ready to be lazy again.

[@samfisher3272]

I get the "active exhaust" provides you with 4 modes: quiet, normal, sport, track". What if I don't opt for this? Would my (only) exhaust mode be "sport"? How loud is the volume, compared to the 4 modes found in AE?

[@lethal8108]

Damn you brought that 5.0 from Grand Prairie to Irving next to harbor freight

[@KpopNiDontStop]

Can't go wrong with one of these.

[@a.wheeler7731]

Doesnt drag mode only soften the rear shocks if you have magneride? How could it do anything to the suspension without having the magneride?

[@SinisterShelby]

Awesome review. 👍 subbed. I'm planning to review one for my channel. It's a premium but not a 401a (it's 400a) car, so it doesn't have the digital cluster. It does have active exhaust though. Do you have any tips or advice for talking dealers into letting you review their cars? I called today and they sounded excited, but had to ask the general manager. They didn't call me back. I think I'll just show up tomorrow in my Shelby and see if they take more seriously.

[@Tdub33]

Did they fix the issue with the car not starting with the exhaust mode it was left at?

[@4gegtyreeyuyeddffvyt]

Proper review

[@lordaizen2355]

What’s the best setup to get 500 horsepower out of a 2013 mustang V6??? I have yet to get help with this question 🧐

[@mattjones1378]

Does this automatic transmission allow you to brake torque to get better launches when drag racing from a dig?

[@starwarrior125]

These Mustangs are underrated from the factory quite a bit. Friend of mine Dyno ran his 2018 and it had 500RWHP right off the showroom floor.

[@jaiderrios4991]

adoro el sonido del mustang. me encanta

[@Reecesavage-Alwayswin]

Man great video as usual but expect a lot of GM guys to hate you for GS comments.

[@Reecesavage-Alwayswin]

Forrest's Auto Reviews man keep up the good work I enjoy your videos proud subscriber💯

[@DestroyerFather]

GOOD STUFF

[@MrVb66]

Is there any chance you will be doing a Re view on a 2018 z L1 1LE

[@lobito9211]

Why this one doesnt come with the active exhaust? I though that came in all gt versions

[@SureShot_2]

can the chime that rings when the engine starts be turned off? what is the point of the chime?

[@phantomstratocaster]

did ford work out this design with the after market executives?

[@Grazzt]

I've seen quite a few 2018 Mustang reviews on KZbin, but yours is probably the best one ! You got me convinced, I'm getting one ! :)

[@larryz3985]

Get 350..

[@charlesdegener7002]

Where are yours preset buttons on the door?

[@lilsuave510]

Really cool review! About 3 weeks ago I was just about to buy a '18 mustang Gt (sports package) but after leaving the dealer and doing more research, I realized that the car I was so close to buying didn't even have the oil and battery gauges in the middle of the dashboard. And according to the sells person it was a "fully loaded, sports package mustang". After watching your review, and you mentioning that this specific car also didn't come with the "active valve exhaust control system" or the "magnetic shocks" I'm feeling really skeptical about walking into a dealer and choosing a car out of fear that some specific functions will be missing. When buying this specific model, what are some of the things I should ask for, or better said, what are the things I should look out for to ensure I am getting everything I want and random things aren't missing? I must say, that after buying 4 new cars from the dealer, this has to be the trickiest one. Most other models (Nissan, Civic, and Toyota) are a direct "base model, luxury, or sports, w/ or w/o navigation system). Thanks in advance.

[@lilsuave510]

Thank you!

[@arachnofan73]

What type of spoiler/wing is that? I have a GT but it has just a lip on it. I want that one.

[@magneto8002]

They changed the Mustang plaque from last year. It use to say since 1964.

[@nickkostakis9600]

Cool drive mate.I like to know more on my MODE please how to use it.Thank you (Nick from Sydney Australia)

[@titan5823]

Why can I never find the 2018 mustangs with the LED Gauge cluster when I look for them on sale at dealerships. Super cool but I can never find them on 2018 gt's at any of the dealerships near me

[@phantomstratocaster]

not quick enough you can see thoughs gawdy 2018 tail lights .what were they thinking?

[@crspcritter]

Quality and refinement never comes to mind with furd-

[@GOD999MODE]

I think it's the best Mustang thus far. Problem for me is that price point after the much desired peformance pack.

[@Tetsujin-28]

The hood looks like it's from a JC WHitney catalog and the grill piece is two different shades of black (top/bottom).

[@charlesdegener7002]

Why is it that this mustang “premium” doesn’t have the seating presets? I know mine does mine is a premium plus

[@JCTiggs1]

$48K USD for this GT sure is getting up there in price.

[@ZenAhmed]

Centenario please.. If possible

[@daverunner3397]

Awesome car....

[@rmensah453]

Small detail but i think they should have made the start button red. Makes it stand out more than the many other silver buttons. Not sure if its done in the Gt350 but defeinitely something Ford should look into

[@RudyBloor]

yeah they do it on the gt350

[@robray7106]

Nice review! I grew up in Grand Prairie on the South side.

[@MasterCarguy44-pk2dq]

If one wants a quick car, order the 10 spd auto w/3.55 gears option, in a base car and the active exhaust. Then buy your own lighter 18" wheels, lighter non-runflat tires and lighter minor suspension upgrades will get you better performance for far less coin. Or better yet, get some lighter exhaust and muffs.

[@toshmago]

Did it not come with seatbelts?

[@larrymayhew2517]

Can each key have it’s own My Mode settings?

[@lancegordon9544]

Whats the highway that dealership is off of?

[@wl6279]

i have the mineral gray 05 and i still want that magnetic gray lol

[@BenHayat]

I'd get the manual with magnetic ride, exhaust control system and the performance package. But then you're right around the Corvette price point.

[@L1GHT119]

Dope thx!!! 4 secs? Is it $50k?

[@trbarnett]

Would never trade my manual for an auto. Period. Heard a guy in another video say, “that’s why you get an auto!” Never.

[@ottobauch2179]

No mustang should have a wing in the back. My biased opinion, it ruins the sleek angles of the car.

[@allen2589]

Otto Bauch its for downforces when taking corners. theyre trying to move from muscle cars to sports cars

[@getalife8234]

My biased opinion is that they should all have wings. Old school...

[@s.i2898]

Otto Bauch I couldn’t agree more

[@GpieTheEntertainer]

Can you let us know the sticker price?

[@Stopsign32v]

Softening rear suspension does not increase traction btw.

[@Stopsign32v]

Wrong Squatting in the rear suspension does exactly the opposite of that. It takes the force that would push the tires into the ground and transfers that into the shocks.

[@godsaveamerica2611]

Without active exhaust doesn’t that mean it’s always on loud mode?

[@godsaveamerica2611]

are you sure? doesn't sound right. What's present to make it not sound as loud?

[@mrwcp63]

Good looking car great exhaust but being although I prefer the Challenger because I would want a bigger car I t bird With a back seat would be good

[@xavierlardinois5844]

how much HorsePower?

[@WynterK]

Oh wow a local youtuber!

[@ms.sonshine8878]

Fun.

[@vergelmalabuyov982]

2014 mustang are the best mustang look i would say

[@hollyoakley3032]

I have a 22 GT auto. Awesome car. Commute in it everyday. I also have a Boss 302. More fun than the GT, but the 10 spd auto GT is much better to drive daily in my opinion.

[@BeauCars]

Mopar guy, but that exhaust note is incredible.

[@JustinAEgan]

You could have mentioned...the 2018 Performance Package model - now allows you to option for the 10-speed "Automatic"; 15 - 17 GT - PP did not allow you to order an automatic! Whether you think the Track rated Performance Pack "should" be sold with an automatic... that's a personal decision. The way I figure it - as a paying customer, you should be able to get whatever floats your boat... Golden Rule applies - if you got the gold, then its your decision on how to spend it.

[@JustinAEgan]

...The only real reason I stepped in was to explain why the new 2018 GT-PP can allow you to use the 'remote start'... goes to the fact that an automatic does not have a direct connection from engine - thru transmission, to the rear tires. The torque converter allows the engine to start, idle - without danger of "unintended acceleration". Can't use (at least not safely) 'remote start' on a manual equipped car; ... mainly because, with a manual transmission car - "most" drivers put the car in either 1st gear or reverse when they leave the car in Park or park on a hill, etc. If you used the remote start feature, while the transmission is in gear; the direct engagement - could or would be dangerous, when the engine started. I wasn't sure how you would take the observation? Sometime, when comments or advice is offered - people take it either as an insult or "sharp-shooting"...trying to harass the site owner/Poster. Definitely NOT my intention!

[@daltonv5206]

Performance pack is NOT track rated

[@JustinAEgan]

I'll admit, I am a little bit more than just merely curious about why a Mustang GT/PP does not qualify as being track rated? I guess we need to define what Track rated/HD means? Is a GT350 track rated? What about a GT350R, Corvette GS, Z06, Camaro ZL1, LE1? Do we agree that few mass produced, passenger cars are ready to come off the dealers show room floor, ready to win at a "track day" event at the local track, but neither are most of the 2-seater, ego enhancers you see at the track - in stock configuration. That being said... the HD radiator, cooling and braking enhancements, upgraded differential, ... etc. are a good deal better than the regular grocery - getter, you might find at your local Hertz, Enterprise or company car, leased people mover. What more would you say would be needed, as a minimum upgrade to make the basic platform worthy of claiming to have a "Track Package"...as Ford claims in their advertising?

[@Steve-yr5vi]

Well let's not pretend the old 6 speed auto was capable of track duty, sure it had paddle shifters however it couldn't up shift or down down quick enough for track duty. The 10 speed was designed to function on par with a DCT and in fact may even better many DCT's.

[@JustinAEgan]

Maybe...that's why Ford worked with GM to develop the new 10-speed automatic transmission...? Using a 10-speed, automatic (which can be programmed to "consistently", under complicated/stressful conditions, shift faster, than the average human driver)...it takes a whole lot of years, of making a lot of mistakes, destroying a lot of cars... to train a human operator to drive at the peak-levels which modern cars are capable of achieving. Even worse - is the danger of so many young drivers, on city streets, freeways - never acquiring the "instinctive reactions" needed to get best performance out of 400 - 500 hp cars!...So, we set the stage for the necessity of building a better (automatic) transmission - letting the driver keep his hands, and mind, focused on the road. So, yeah - automatic transmissions are becoming the 'preferred' - by car makers - method of regulating car performance on the road! Still...given a superior driver and seeking ultimate car control over "all conditions", good, bad, on-road, on-track or off-road - I still would give the edge to a manual shifting, experienced driver. Sometime, you need overrule the programed, responses which are part of the limits of an automatic....at least - until the engineers can put an "AI" artificial intelligence (brain) in car transmission - which would allow it learn how to think and drive, to match changing conditions. ....'nuff said about that?... Manual transmissions still have a place...in track cars and/or when you have the skills and really want to "Drive" your car!
