Ranking ALL Mustangs

Today we are ranking all the mustangs throughout the years, but not in any regular list. We're doing a MUSTANG TIER LIST.

I thought it was because of the music. Will the audio be replaced with subtitles?

Personally, the late 2010s Mustang is kinda mid. It makes great power, but it is too techy for my taste. The main problem is the looks though. Sometimes I like it, sometimes I don't. It looks too much like a catfish from the front with the whiskers. Also, the front and rear look too rounded in my opinion. In addition to the plague that is the i4, I'd put it at a high C tier, low B tier. The early 2010s Mustang is the best overall.

One big one that you missed was the 67-68. The cars had a 390 big block but also the GT500 was released with the 428. Then the GT500KR. Then the 69 was the 2nd gen. I definitely agree with the list though

[@josephg41]

I was gonna say this thanks for mentioning it. '67 Fastback S code 390 4 speed is my "attainable" dream Stang. Also they were a major refresh from the '64 1/2-66 so I was sad they weren't mentioned in the video

[@TheMysticalFusion]

@@sparkyguitar0058 You are referring to the Toronto Canada dealer that offered Stallion Packages to cars only at their dealer. The 390 they sold was 410hp. The 427 was 550hp. The only FORD Mustangs Built were the 1967 Shelby GT500 427 Proto, car #0289, car #0544 Super Snake, and car #1947 Factory Dealer Order Promo "Factory Drag Snake".

[@GolfInHawaii69]

Nice I have a 04 mach1 which never really gets mentioned at all and still had the live axel. The mach1 hp numbers were underrated at 305 since it's slightly faster with more torqe then the 320hp 2002 cobra which both basically had the same motor but the mach had better cam.

[@tomdell9836]

@@GolfInHawaii69 Actually the Mach's had worse cams than the earlier 4v Cobra's but the better heads and bump in compression made up for it. A popular swap back in the day was 96-98 Cobra intake cams worth about 15hp on the Mach.

[@GolfInHawaii69]

@@tomdell9836 You're completely right, I meant to say heads not cams lol, obviously I'm not Einstein when it comes to naming parts😂. But yea the mach 1 was basically 2nd behind the terminator cobra being na and slightly more torqe then the na cobras with about both having 320hp.

[@dwharbin]

I've been watching Mustangs evolve my whole life, no matter what anyone says they are indisputably THE car that kicked off American muscle cars as we know them and because of that have a certain kind of mystique and cache that no other American car has, and Ford never interrupted production of them unlike some others. They all have their charms, even the anemic Mustang II looked better afaic than the first fox bodys, however all that being said I think my 2007 GT is the best looking Mustang since the original GT that it very much emulates, that of course is my own personal opinion, there are certainly better performing Mustang but I think Ford really hit a homerun with this model in capturing the essence of the original, same small block 3 valve V8, same solid axle, but with modern electronics really got every last horse out of this venerable engine. I love my car and they'll have to pry it out of my cold dead hands before I ever give it up;)

[@emanuelsandoval7470]

I have a 2005 gt on manual and a drop top, I saw your comment and got emotional somehow lol, these fat boys really make me feel goosebumps every time I get close to hop on it and makes me miss it every time I walk away from it, obviously braking my neck on the process, its so enjoyable and fun to drive god damn it, I do not care at all about those .2 secs slower on the 0-60 THE CONVERTIBLE ROCKS! I was able to bring a full engine from Vegas to San Diego cause with some towels to protect the seats its almost a truck!! Really useful and I’m not gonna bother saying how cool it is to drive “topless” on a nice weather and everyone looking at a nice piece of culture riding with such style and class… oh and the Mustang too!!

[@dwharbin]

@@emanuelsandoval7470 I have such a love hate thing with convertibles. I think they are beautiful with their tops down and just not that good looking with them up. Where I live there might be 2 months out of the year where the weather is right for it and then it's either too bloody hot or cold but loving a car (just like loving a woman) has nothing to do with logic and rationality so if this is your fantasy ride just roll with it:)

[@jonwalter6317]

All Mustangs deserve our love, even the Mustang IIs. Personally, I've got a 2006 GT, because (a) it's the closest thing (I can afford) to my Mom's 69 351W Sportsroof, which I still miss every day, and (2) it was the best combination of price and low mileage that will hopefully provide me years of trouble free driving enjoyment. It's pure stock except for the Flowmaster exhaust. Had it out today for an Independence Day drive for a few hours, man is it fun.

[@44kas88]

Thank you..!! If it wasn't for the II, there would be none others...ex(camaro)..!!

[@57cadillac]

All except mach e

[@nickmartinka679]

13-14’s didn’t get just a front end job they also got an update in the rear with the blacked out taillights and the black deck lid. Not to sound biased but probably the best liking rear ended of any Mustang and if you think I’m wrong just go look up what a set of taillights will run you! There are 3 Mustangs at the top imo not ranked in order but I’d say 69-70, the 03’ Cobra, and any model (except if it has a v6) 13-14’!

[@carsonmaddox5658]

hey man, don’t shit on the v6, the upgrade from 12-13 made it a pretty good car (personal bias) but the ‘14 3.7 was my first car and i put over 300k miles on that mf until it died. plus i got like 36mpg on the highway

As an SN95 owner, I'm glad it got at least A tier. Not a fan of the New Edge or 2-Eyed Fox (but I love the 4-Eyed Foxes and the 2003 Mach 1). The S197 was a great looking car............................................if you could get past the fact that it's an effin' boat. S550 is a step down: If I wanted an Aston Martin, I would buy an Aston Martin, and not this cheap imitation. But the new Shelby is an absolute beauty.

[@FinancialFreedom-sq8sr]

People forget that you can swap a higher compression 302 into the gen 2 mustangs, I’m picking up a 78 this weekend and have plans to swap in a built 302, end goal of 400-500hp

[@J-mougee]

As an owner of a Sn95 I’m happy with an A-Tier Edit: as a new owner of a now 2003 new edge the s-tier is where I’m at. The new edge looks so god damn good compared to my old 96 gt

[@pingpong4016]

2003-2004 also had Mach 1. Azure Blue is in INCREDIBLE color. Also remember that ford introduced Mystic on the cobra’s in 1996 but in 2003-2004 it became Mystichrome.

[@ericcrafton8417]

I bought my very first mustang a year ago and it’s still my favorite car I’ve ever owned. What made me happy to see is the one I own is the New Edge Mustang that you put on S tier which made my choice for that one feel special. Overall I think it’s a solid list that I can agree with.

I might be bias as a SN95 owner. But the 4th generation was the 94 Motor Trend car of the year and 30 year anniversary, 95 Cobra R 5.8l, 96 Mystic original, modernized interior/exterior, 2 different taillights, rear Cobra bumper, compared to the Foxbody, just a little heavier with 5 lug/4 disc brakes, First in a Mustang 96 to 98 Cobra all aluminum Teskid(Ferrari) block 4v hand built. Export rare versions, Saleen, Roush special editions. IRS 00 Cobra R, first 6 spd in Mustang, Terminators IRS and folding mirrors only came on export versions before this. Just to mention a few

[@superstallion97]

Foxbody also had the SVO turbo 4 cylinder and the T top and Roush , Steeda and Saleen started with these in the 80s

idgaf what anyone says foxbody not being S tier and the new edge (outside of the terminator) being s tier is abysmal. The foxbody literally SAVED the mustang and is probably the most well supported mustang platform ever made, and probably the only car you will find street racing video titled (no foxbodies)

Proud owner of a 71 mach 1 fastback. Smoothest ride I’ve ever had in a car. The styling is period appropriate. The whole idea of this long ramjet style 16 foot body was to market towards young couples who started having families. It makes sense too, the back seats can hold 3 people and can fold down for extra trunk space, about 5.5 feet of trunk space. Only downside is that backing this car out, oh man the fastback window using your rear view mirrors it’s like looking into a mail slot.
