Review: 2024 Ford Mustang GT w/ Performance Pack (S550 owner perspective)

I finally review the 2024 Ford Mustang GT with the Performance Pack, the 10-speed auto and the 300A interior. This one also has an MBRP x-pipe installed for even more V8 sound. In this video I'll cover the changes from S550 to S650 and my thoughts on how they change the Mustang experience after personally owning 4 different S550 Mustangs over 9 years. What do you think about the S650 Mustang GT? Huge thanks to a subscriber of mine for offering his car to me for review!

Hi Matt thanks for reviewing my car it was a pleasure meeting u and riding along with you.

Thanks again for letting me drive your car! It was great meeting you too!

Hey man personal question but how much do you bring home a year? I’m a young kid and I want one of these eventually

[@J.W.W.]

I can live with the exterior, but to me the dash is completely ruined compared to Matt’s Bullitt. Thanks to the owner for letting Matt review it!

[@Accost2u]

It’s Ford phoning it in. They know their competition is done and the ICE mustang isn’t long for this world either. So cost cut it, increase the price and make money while they can.

[@saltybulldog3241]

Electric cars are already failing the market and proving too expensive to mass produce. It's not the answer everyone thought it was. @@Accost2u

[@fortheloveofnoise9298]

If I had the money to buy one of these, I would rip out the screens and have a professional put in analog gauges.

[@ClickbaitMotorsports]

The exterior is the worst part. The screens are cheap, and no physical buttons add to the cheapness. The seats are nice tho.

[@matty2time]

You are right the interior looks so cheap and ugly now.

[@OrionInception]

I've seen these in person and I still stand by what I've been saying....I prefer the S550.

[@jeffforbess6802]

The cost is a deal-breaker. This is not a $70k car. $50k Max.

Yesssss, been waiting for this. Thanks to the owner of this car we don't have to wait forever for one!!!

[@hellokyle_]

I saw this new generation at my local dealer and I have to admit, the S550 all around is a better looking vehicle. The rear light with that sunken in look, I am not a fan of and the interior to me is just out of sorts. With that being said, I give Ford a lot of credit for at least continuing with their V8 muscle car. Updates may not be for everyone but at least you have the option to get a V8 still.

[@user-pv5ju5uo1e]

Fully agree, the S550 is a beautiful car, this thing just isn't.

[@joshlamar1990]

@@user-pv5ju5uo1eI don’t see how it’s basically the same car I’ve seen plenty of s650s on the road and I just thought I was a mustang that we been seeing. People just want something to complain about and probably can’t afford one anyway.

[@lilrockstarrs]

While I was originally super excited for the new S650 Mustangs, S550 > S650 just from price alone. These have no reason being $15-20k more then a base to loaded S550 5.0, even your Bullitt fully loaded makes these seem silly. Great review as always though Matt was excited for you to review one of these nonetheless!

[@MattMaranMotoring]

Thanks man!

[@ThatWasherNerd]

I personally like the exterior of the S650 quite a bit more, but that interior is absolutely a dealbreaker for me. Other than that, this is quite the special car.

[@DWH300]

Tell me you don't watch a large HDTV or use a large screen smart phone. Most people do because they like new updated technology. I actually skipped buying a dated S550 to wait for a Dark Horse. After 10 years and all the negative reviews of the S550 interior. It was a time for a redesigned and upgraded interior and aggressive exterior design because from sells numbers. The S550 Mustang sales were sinking.

[@tommygeary1931]

@@DWH300 in 5 years this will look so dated and hideous. Any car with a first gen digital gauge cluster will look bad, but this will look worse as it's not integrated into the dash at all, it's just a tablet they stuck on. Horrible.

[@ThatWasherNerd]

@@DWH300 If my primary goal is to use a screen, I'd prefer a larger 4k HDR TV or a high-resolution smartphone. However, in a sports car, I want to focus on . This is part of why I sold my G37 to by a GD WRX. I don't want built-in distractions to a car. I want to enjoy the drive.

[@zeon537]

Exactly how i feel as well

[@SuperDalite]

So when the screen fails.. you don’t get to listen to your tunes and your balls stick to legs because you also lost climate. I don’t mind the speedometer being digital… but the huge ass glitchy middle screen can take a hike. I got a 2023 recently after I saw what Ford did to the dash on the 2024

[@terryclark7700]

One of the better reviews on this car I have seen, very informative and covered everything, well done.

[@al90vette]

Looks are really growing on me as well. Saw a DH in person the other day. Looked incredible

[@androiduberalles]

Jeez, the prices on these things just make used options feel like so much of a better deal. I know it's not really a fair comparison, but c'mon, it's a real option.

[@paulfairchild8942]

Wow, amazing car Matt!

[@strongplanted]

Thank you so much for being upfront with the carryover stuff. As a true enthusiast would know, this car is NOT all new, even though engineers and Ford PR would try to make you believe it's all new! I still have yet to see an S650 in person other than at the Denver Dealer show in April.

[@jameshows5419]

Matt we have the DH S650’s . First time to have the Handling Package Pony’s . Love the way it hugs the road just wondering how much it’s going to cost when it comes time to replace those tires . Thanks for your videos on any Mustang .

[@Red5oh]

Great video! Got to review the same car (my sticker on the window 😂) and I absolutely loved how the active exhaust sounded!! Much louder than S550

[@MattMaranMotoring]

Thanks! Yeah this one was definitely loud with the x-pipe, I'd be curious to hear a stock one to compare to my Bullitt.

[@Angryeddie14]

Big ups to the owner for letting you review it! Sounds lovely but I feel like they’re straying away from mustang heritage. Guess they did that plenty already tho

[@ClickbaitMotorsports]

It was mostly designed with input from Gen Zers. They said no to heritage, opting to go after the TikTok demographics.

[@im_an_alvani]

Love the exterior and the Fox body gauges, just wish the rest of the interior was executed a bit better. Big ups to the owner for providing this for a review!

[@Tarantulaflytrap]

Next we definitely need a Dark Horse review for sure!👍🏻

[@dr.sherifsoliman8576]

Great review! One minor gripe I have with my 2018 GT Conv PP is steering feel. I know you said you like the steering better but would love to hear more about that.

[@MattMaranMotoring]

The feel isn’t too different, but the quicker ratio makes it feel sharper and makes the car more eager to change direction.

[@backnu]

It's the same car with a screen update and bumper refresh, with a MASSIVE price hike!! It's absurd how much they are asking for a Mustang. A loaded one is ZL1 money. There are other cars that are a lot better with manual transmissions. Thanks for for making me realize the 2023 BMW M2, Nissan Z, C8 Corvette, and Supras are really great cars! Most of them offer a manual or DCT. It's been a nice ride Ford!

[@zachariahmontgomery1080]

I love the Exterior body, I like the car of what it look likes.

[@jpking0]

Great video this new gen looks amazing. I have a suggestion for all the car reviewers out there: would you consider doing a charging pad test for those of us who have wireless phones with cases? With the new iPhones and other phones with nice cameras, some phones with cases never seem to lay flat enough anymore to work on wireless charging pads. I’d love to see tests to see if wireless charging pads on cars will still charge them, or at least test the output of the charging and whether or not it’ll charge the phone enough while using CarPlay. Yeah I know my request is very niche, and I could just go case-less, but just an idea. Love all your vids keep up the great work. 🐎

[@5lhorse476]

Been here since 2013ish the subaruwrxfan days!

[@KonaNthusiast]

I saw a new mustang the other night with the performance pack and thought my eyes fooled me when I saw cloth seats inside, I guess I was completely right

[@Mr500RWHP]

I really wished they had kept the old dash, not a fan of the screen tbh

[@matteoingrao6080]

Hey Matt always enjoy your videos do you test drive in Hunterdon County nj?

Hey Matt how’s the ride quality compared to the base. Is it a lot to give up

[@whiteandnerdytuba]

You can tell ford didn’t really try cause they knew they didn’t have to

[@JJ.Picasso]

Overall I do like the 650 but I was able to get my hands on a lowmileage supercharged 18 GT premium for a little over 40k.

[@francfurian8215]

Thanks the review it's timely. I'm here in Australia & I'm tossing up the idea of a demo S550 or waiting on the new model that we will be getting in the first quarter of 2024. I'm not sure I really like the futuristic dash & the rear end to justify the extra $$$. We pay a lot more than you guys so you can add an extra $15-20k on the US price of each model. I'm also leaning towards the outgoing model because I feel like it's more Mustang than the new one??? Cheers😊

[@pistolpete6321]

Great review Matt. The looks are growing on me. That car sounds amazing which is what I loved most about my s550.

Hey Matt, how does this compare overall to your Bullitt? Would you give the Bullitt up for a2024 GT or DH?

[@MattMaranMotoring]

I compare to S550 a lot in this video but personally I have zero interest in owning an S650. The interior is a complete dealbreaker for me, as is the 10k higher price for a very similar experience.

[@T8kyol]

So do you need 4 catch cans since im assuming theres two pcv systems 😅

[@TheLadiesman0815]

I’m not digging the tacked on looking screens as a gauge cluster. I wish it still looked like a gauge cluster

[@googleuser2170]

Love those wheels.

[@ms3ben]

GT stang definitely the better value if you can get one at a reasonable price; however, besides looks and sound (both subjective), the m2 is superior imo, but should be more compared to the Darkhorse pricewise.

[@TheNotSoOrdinaryCarGuy]

The dash, to me, is a throw back to the 80s Fox body’s with all the rectangle accents. Especially the passenger side. I think they felt the screens fit right into that because they are also large rectangles.

[@FX4Level2]

I thought that immediately when i saw the interior for the first time.

[@tedadamgreen]

Agreed … it immediately reminded me of the asymmetrical interior of the Fox Bodies of 88 and 91 that I had and loved!

[@dirtylittledoe]

After a quick google search It does look like it which makes me dislike it more but the tail lights is what made me nauseous 🤢 guess I'll look out for a fully loaded 20-23

[@bobbyjones2112]

Looks way better than the dark horse in front especially!

[@kellyaugustine4591]

I'm pretty happy with my 2024 GT Premium Performance Pack in Rapid Red. The last Mustang I owned was a 2003 Stage 2 Roush. So, this one is a nice upgrade from what I remember of the 2003. I considered the Dark Horse until I saw the 10k dealer markup. Then, I discovered the mod to remove the carbon traps in the intake and immediately achieve nearly the same HP numbers as the Dark Horse.

[@pawg206]

10k mark up only? That’s a deal! Not saying I would buy one but I asked the dealer here and they wanted 20k mark up.

[@pdai5426]

My local dealers also charging 10k markup. No thanks! I will get the GT and mod it

[@destinyangel5]

Great review Matt ! As an owner of The S550 FN I found it was millions of times better than FM , different engine injection system and bigger CC more power ect , Im gonna wait for the second version of this S650, Ford say coming in 2026 and this will be the last hurrah for GT 5.0 and will end in 2028 . Its sure to be coming with more HP and different cabin set up .Like they did from FM to the better FN model. I think S650's Tesla like screen are a bit of a Ford experiment, to see how people embrace it , a really strange move from Ford in my view , as they are defiantly not evoking the Mustang legacy . Hopefully the next one can bring some of the Mustang iconic legacy back , with buttons and switches and digital dash . Your right S550 FN brakes PP are super grabby are excellent .One complaint with my S550 FM 5.0 GT PP optioned with magna ride and active exhaust, was the 10 sp auto wasn't quick enough from 1st to 2nd there was a noticeable annoying delay when using paddles . Maybe because its not an instant changing capable duel clutch set up just the older tech torque converter trans ? , is why it causes this delay ? but Hopeful Ford will address this in these newer S650 models coming .

[@kayakkevin]

I really prefer the Bullit to this. I have a 2020 Grabber lime GT premium convertible and I would have that all day every day over this.

[@GothRocker7]

Matt, So Happy, you got to test drive the new Mustang S650 and give your thoughts. You have had I believe four S550's in total so you know them well. Quick question on your S550 Mustangs that you had, did you have any have air conditioning issues? My friend down Florida had a Air conditioning failure on his, and some have said they had a/c compressor issues. Anyway, I am very Happy the Mustang is still around, however, Matt I agree with you. Your Mustang Bullitt and the Mach I are the best of modern tech, looks, and interior design. I wish Ford stayed a little bit more traditional with this new one. That is one reason I love My beautiful Lincoln Continental, same thing exterior and interior beautiful American design. The screen was not glued to the top of the dash, the screen was placed in the same spot as your Mustang, very logical, low and in the center and it looks nice, a nice flush dash. I know people bust me, mainly because of jealousy, but the Continental was made along side your Mustang in the same Flat Rock Michigan plant. SO I may not ever get a Mustang, but I love my luxurious, comfy, Lincoln Continental. It is the closest I have come to a Mustang, at least it is made in the same plant. LOL Love the Continental, just as much as you love your Bullitt. To conclude, great review, thank you to the viewer for letting you test it. I am not knocking his car, great car, great color, I personally I would get a Mach I because I like the more traditional interior. Long Live The American Pony Car, Long Live gasoline powered V8 Mustang, what a great sound to hear. P.S. One other thing, my Lincoln Continental of course has Pirelli Cinturato P7 tires, because Ford loves Pirelli on their higher end products and I have to say they handle great , super quiet. Once again the Continental is a large, heavy, all wheel drive, luxury car, but they hold the road well when I push the car, I have kept Pirelli tires on it, not sure all Pirelli tires are bad. However On my Suzuki and Subaru's I love my Continental Extremecontact dws06 tires, great combination of traction, handling, yet quiet, I have been using them for years.

[@MattMaranMotoring]

Thanks for watching Rich! My 3rd S550 (2016 GT) had the A/C go out but thankfully it was still under warranty. You know I love the Continentals too, glad to hear you’re still enjoying it!

[@knappar]

Wow that is pricey. I'm so happy I was able to get my GT PP 6 speed with the active exhaust for 45k brand new in 2021.

[@TheMGChannel]

Awesome review Matt. I was waiting to hear your thoughts on the new 24 Mustang. To me the biggest let down is the interior compared to the S550 generation, the new interior feels cheaper than the s550, they lost the awesome metal switch selector for the modes and replaced with a cheap plastic panel that moves back and forth once you press any of the buttons. I've sat on a few S650 and that's my biggest take away, especially for how expensive they really are. The screens also look so generic, very similar to many of the new cars coming out now. The exterior looks great tho and the car seems to be performing okay with the new 10 speed trans considering that tuning is still unavailable. We should all be thankful that the mustang with the coyote V8 survived and seems like it will be here for years to come.

[@MattMaranMotoring]

Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts!

[@tommygeary1931]

God that tablet for a gauge cluster looks so stupid, why not just keep the same digital dash that the S550 had? Or better yet, analog gauges. I actually like how the Camaro had analog gauges but also a screen in the center of them. Best of both worlds IMO

[@vaughanscott7308]

Shouldn't it have the recaro seats if you got the performance package????

[@theodorebrooks9889]

[@bryantcurtis2573]

Just seeing Matt’s Bullitt next to the new one I think the old one would still be much choice + way cheater for 55k I could probably find a decent GT350.

[@cardo1111]

Rear quarter panels look more Gen 6 Camaro than Mustang. A nice-looking car, however not sure how that this S650 Mustang will age with those screens, hopefully the screens will prove reliable and not age like an Atari. Appreciate your honest review, exposing the good and the bad.

[@geneforte9038]

When are u going to test a 2022 bmw m240ix (2023 or 2024)?

[@MattMaranMotoring]

I’d love to review one someday but BMW won’t send me press cars so I either have to wait for an owner to offer theirs to me, or make the road trip to an out of state dealer that’ll let me review one.

[@rembo183]

It’s all about the V8 experience. That’s what you’re paying the big bucks for.

[@rembo183]

My biggest gripe is the lack of simple controls with knobs and switches for important functions like the AC and heating systems. Also I prefer Using buttons or knobs for the audio. I think having to use the screen for these functions makes driving dangerous b you distracting you from the road.

[@drunkpolack7612]

[@biggestthreattoyourexistence]

On that first acceleration... I would have tapped the paddle shifter twice to make sure it was in the lowest gear and then hit the pedal

[@stephendibari5010]

Love the exterior especially the rear end. Not a fan of the gimmicky screens. Looks like a video game setup. SMH Having to use a touch screen for nearly everything is ridiculous. Having to wait 15 seconds for the screen to come on is also ridiculous. At a minimum they should’ve kept the basic HVAC controls on manual dials. Should’ve stuck with a vintage dash to keep the tradition alive. In 1996 I bought my first and only mustang, a new GT black on black w 5 speed manual w upgraded 18 in rims. 4.6 L V8, think it had like 210 hp which is so anemic but it was loaded with Torque.

[@Elephant_Thoughts]

I'm surprised that you are the only one reviewing this s650 that actually said you liked the steering feel and response. Most reviewers complain saying that it's more numb this generation. Also, I have rebuttal about not keeping the interior a nod to the past; Ford said they took inspiration from the Foxbody generation when designing the s650, so can we truly say that it's not a refresher of its past?_?

[@fortheloveofnoise9298]

All electric steering cars will never feels as good as a real steering rack.

[@MattMaranMotoring]

I must have missed Ford talking about Foxbody inspiration for the interior aside from the gauge mode. Thanks for the info! Steering feel is pretty comparable to most modern cars with electric steering, but a quicker rack always makes the steering more responsive and makes a car feel more lively.

[@Elephant_Thoughts]

@@MattMaranMotoring Yeah, if you look at the Foxbody's dash design the only thing this s650 is missing is the passenger side shelf but everything else is spot on, making that gap between screens on the base model more of an eyesore. I wish you could have tried out the electronic e-brake because I just saw the vlog of Vaughn tuning it to feel perfect for the public; which now I can strongly say Ford will have that as a future feature where the driver will be able to adjust the tension and grab point of that electrical brake from the infotainment center.

[@212helpdesk]

Great review, you are really good at this. I'm considering upgrading my 2019 GT (base) to the latest and greatest 2024 Dark Horse or Gt. I need to keep factory warranty so I will buy a new car with all the options instead of adding the bolt on-s myself to my 2019 and possibly voiding the warranty. I have the extended Ford warranty on my 2019 also.

[@sunburn8640]

I love American performance cars. I was about to say muscle cars but to be honest. The Mustang and Camaro crossed over from muscle to sports cars years ago at this point. For the Camaro, the 5th Gen Z28 in 14’ was the mark and for the z Mustang I’d would say 2012 with the BOSS 302 benchmarked against the M3( when it still had the 8400 red line 8 cylinder. The BOSS destroyed the M3 in public testing after its release. I even like the Dodge V8’s although those will forever be branded muscle cars, and that’s a uniquely beautiful thing. I, like everyone else, was unsure about the 7th Gen design at first. However, unlike many others still professing to hold that view, it did not take me but a few views of this thing and I was sold. Every single time a manufacturer changes to a new mark on cars we love, it’s natural to resist. We are familiar and comfy with the old design. But one day, suddenly, the S550 will look, well, outdated. The 7th Gen will look ultra modern even though it will have been out for some time then. Bought my wife a 2021 Tahoe in Aug of 21’. My son wanted me to get the 2020 because he was used to the design. Now, now the Tahoe we went with was def the right choice per my son who is now 17. I love the S550, I am driving my second GT premium PP1 and it’s such a great car. But given the chance, I would trade UP in a flash. It’s a gorgeous car and honestly, the envy of Aspiring and existing American performance car enthusiasts

[@marcasswellbmd6922]

The look has grown on me too a little but I still love my S550 look better I do.. I don't know why but I guess it the Tech that i don't really like.. Would I like a bigger back up Camera Def, but that's it.. There's just way to much going on in there with all the Nvidia Ipad themed look.. I just love my Real Gages and the way they say ground speed, and the oil pressure and VP gage too.. I love the Old school mix, and the Body lines down the side of the S550's are so sexy.. I also think they went to far with the tail lights but what ever.. Not a hater to each his own.. They do look nice and mean in the front..

[@MariusGlare]

Thanks for that review. After that im even more sure that this gen is bad, down part of front looks awkward, taillights are half baked and looks bad, same for more plastic on bigger difusor. But inside is really a bad thing those screens looks tragic because of reflections, laggy system, nothing special, crappy buttons. Yeah car has some cool things thats better than S550 but theres more bad tstuff thsts more important. Im staying with my S550. Maybe after lifting version will be better

[@Mike-dd8bd]

Amazing to me how the A10 still lags on upshifts near redline. That is the difference between a European ZF and these A10 transmissions. At least you can still option a manual.

Many think the m240i looks weird, especially the rear. M240i is quicker 0-60 but the GT is faster after 60mph. Both are great platforms for modding. That said, I'd prefer the M240i xdrive as a daily. I also love the characteristics of the B58. I may be biased a bit, as I currently own a X3m40i.

@@ms3ben yes obviously a daily the m is the way to go

11.3? Idk if I'm believing that just because tuned, headers, E85 mustangs run similar times. Also the 0-60 3.7 with an avg 4.08 doesn't jive. Makes no difference to me I'm just saying I've been around these cars and none of that adds up

[@CanadianMax]

Agreed, must have been an epic downhill

[@MrFpsdestroyer]

I was thinking the same thing, a 12.3 or around that i will believe easily, but from what I've been seeing these are slower than the 18-24 s550s, I live in Tucson az, and I've gotten 12.260s and thats not in great elevation here

That’s the only thing what’s puts me off with this car it’s lost it’s retro look

[@maromyers964]

Test drove a mustang gt base model. Had the 3.15 gears and was ok but 3.55 is what you want but that's expensive. I would rather get a fully loaded camaro for 45k than a base model stang for 47k

[@themidnighttavern6784]

These things look so good IRL, pics and vids don't do them justice. It's m Basically a more muscular, and fluid s550.

That interior looks so bad. Those HVAC controls are the worst I’ve seen on a modern car. It sounds really good and looks really good!

Most people’s wages have not kept up. My 2019 GT vert had a MSRP of $53,200. Now it would be upper 60’s. Competing in Audi, BMW price land.

[@JulianVR4]

Lmfao @ these TV screens they keep slapping into these cars

[@peedeegt]

The exterior styling isn’t too bad……side profile is deffo the strong point imo. That basic Interior is awful though……the long single screen in the upgraded interior looks much better.

[@HighHorsepower220]

Dash looks like Chit. Give me a 2023 or older Stang (Manual) or a used C8 Vette.

[@BluRadoZ71]

I see those MD tags😁 Baltimore here. Anyway i wish i could've kept my 2020 GT Premium. I put a lot of money into it and it was gorgeous. Edit: After watching the video, these new Mustangs are ugly. The interior is hideous. ( No Offense to the owner of the car)

[@toddflournoy8607]

Dam had to be 10-11 years since I’ve seen a video from this man omg 😭😭 his brz days

[@MattMaranMotoring]

Welcome back! Still posting 3 videos a week!

[@raist315]

I'm just not going to like the screens. The size doesn't bother me, just how they're implemented. Get past that and I really like the new Mustang. My money would go to the Mach 1, but only barely.

[@lyndahammel9502]

I have a S550 and really appreciate the smaller screen and manual control knobs. I'm happy with my 2017 and plan on keeping it.

[@mavricxx]

I REALLY wish Ford had put actual knobs/buttons for the HVAC. Also, really wish they had added AWD like the Nissan GTR. Overall, I feel like Ford did a lazy job of coming up with this generation. I wouldn't even call this a "next generation ". I'd call it a gen 3 S550. Lastly, I totally hate the taillights, they horrible!
