The Mustang GT is my bread and butter. A car platform I've gotten to know over a long period of time and has for the most part never let me down. The power per dollar out of a 5.0 Mustang GT is nearly impossible to beat in the car industry, and they are a ton of fun to drive. My 2018 Mustang GT has been with me since 2019, and since then it has gone through many transformations. This now VMP ODIN supercharged 750HP daily driver is full of smiles per gallon and I wouldn't trade the experience for anything. However with the Mustang GT S650 now released, is it time to move on? Let's talk about it.

Favorite car in the ThatDudeinBlue fleet? Which ones would you keep/sell? (I still have all of them)

[@viktorbryce951]

Sell the Dodge Magnum Hellcat Swap, fund your drift projects which seem to be a direction you're striving for. With Drift Events an what not it only makes sense to me, an honestly I could see you funding another drift project if that was a goal such as grabbing up a GR86 or Manual Supra for track days as it really impressed you. The EG Hatch is on it's way, but again if you aren't actively showcasing or driving it I'd let it go as well potentially. Your Nissan 240SX has been a love project, so I couldn't fathom selling it after all the work that has gone into it. The Acura Integra is great, though can a Acura Type-S or FK8/Type R be a better choice? Smurf has been with the channel for the long haul, an I'd have to place a hefty figure before considering selling it or trading it. Maybe consider doing a 50% goes to a Charity Auction an the rest goes to you? I don't know float that idea with your viewers. As for Subzero keep it, it's been a superb daily. Still has a ton of miles ahead of it. Maybe in 2-3 years down the road you can reconsider floating the idea. So that's where my stance is

[@steveafanador6441]

The little civic hatch is my favorite. I've always wanted one and yours is perfect. Sell whatever one is easy to find. That's what I would do 🤷

Love the car! Thanks for sharing your experience. I also have a 2018 GT but with manual 6 speed. Never had any issues with it, and it’s bolt on naturally aspirated, not FI. I feel the same…not enough of an improvement to upgrade to the S650. Plus like you, I bought my car at a very low price point new. Best car I’ve ever owned and it’s just a hoot to drive.

[@dirrtydan_95]

Miss the vlogs. Glad to see one back 🤘🏻

[@joew1316]

You were the reason I ended up getting my s550. I was apprehensive at first since I never had one and found out how fun it is made me decide to get the 10 speed. Pp1 2020 in rapid Red and 301a. I love it.

[@ToastyClam]

Do you regret not getting the Standard transmission? Im thinking about getting one but I dont know if I should get the 10SPD or Standard

[@joew1316]

@ToastyClam not at all. I actually have just as much fun with the paddles. I drove the manual and didn't like it. If I could've afforded a mach 1 I would get manual all day

[@ToastyClam]

@@joew1316 I heard the GT has a gross manual. And the only good one is the Tremic that comes with the higher trims. Which means I cannot afford it. Might be the 10 SPD for me too.

[@logancrouse6030]

I love this car. I'm probably the only fan who remembers you getting an f150. Probably the only one who would love a little build series or more truck content

[@EdMan1963]

This is one of the nicer Mustangs I’ve seen. So well done and clean. I could see this type of build. I have a Dark Horse and don’t want to do much to it. I know you say it’s loud but it’s a bit of a sleeper as well. 👍🏾

Your S550 is perfect don’t get rid of it. Can’t believe you’ve done so many miles at 750rwhp on pump gas. I have a Whippled 10R80 2020 GT running only 660rwhp and I’d love to take it up to 750 like yours but my tuner demands it be done on e85 so seeing yours live at 750rwhp on pump gas is amazing.

[@user-nh4je9ul7f]

666 HP be bad ass how much boost u got going on there

[@CoyoteAUS]

@@user-nh4je9ul7f not sure, it runs a 3.75 pulley, 132 TB 1 7/8 LT headers plus 3 inch cat back exhaust but the tuner has kept it very conservative because he gave me a 3yr warranty for the bottom end. 3 yrs us up not one issue now ready for a bigger fuel system and e85 and thinking about getting it remote tuned by Lund

Keep it! I also drive a 750hp (although not to the wheels) Roush Phase 2. I started watching your content due to my 2021 GT Premium; wishing I could have gotten the Odin up here in Canada however no shop really being able to source and install it for me forced me to get the Roush from Ford. I enjoy watching Sub Zero and have been debating on the RTR front Grille as well as swapping out my rear Nitto RII for 17" beadlocks and Mickey Thompson tires to further the traction.

Great video. Been saving for over a year to get a mustang. Either a 21 mach 1 like you tested or a Gt PP1 Premium. It will be a "daily". Any suggestion?

[@kooldawg6]

Sub Zero is an amazing beast of a ride for sure and I would have a difficult time parting with it...for pretty much anything! However, being a content creator, I can see your dilemma about getting the S650 for fresher content. The S650 ECU being locked is a bummer, but I imagine within a year Ford will unlock it...hopefully. I would personally still keep Sub Zero as I am not at all liking the new front, rear and the haphazardly placed dash tvs.

Good for you on keeping your Mustang bro! I have an idea for you if you're willing to try it out for a mod. How about trying to see if the 2024 Mustang Darkhorse rear wheelhub and brakes fit the S550. I'm curious myself as that would make a nice upgrade. I think Ford making the Mustang Performance Pack with only a 2 piston rear brake was lame and the new 2024 Darkhorse brakes look amazing. Still, I HATE the new Mustang tail lights.

I have an 2019 S550, same specs as yours, but with an ESS G2 supercharger currently making 680whp and I would never trade it for a S650. The S650 does have their potential points but I find the S550 much more appealing and visually attractive. Also as you mentioned, the s550 is such a trustworthy car that is hard to let go when it has been so good to you.

[@mogulme6190]

So you think the s650 would be less reliable? Besides the looks which are subjective the rest of the car should be as reliable or more so possibly

[@kendrew651]

@@mogulme6190 I am not comparing their reliability. I am saying that when a car is good to you in terms of reliability you don’t wanna let it go just like that. I can have 1 s550 that has been good to me and you give me the option to trade it for another s550 same year and all and I wouldn’t do it. Because I already know my project and its current tune.

[@themidnighttavern6784]

Having seen the s650 in person, I feel like it's at least as good looking as the s550. Both look great in their own way. The s650 is far more muscular looking, whereas the s550 is more elegant looking.

[@philharris4504]

I know many will disagree, but the biggest thing I like about the S550 over the S650 is the interior. I like the retro classic design of the double hump dash. The new one looks too much like a BMW interior. Not that there’s anything wrong with BMW, I love BMW. But when I’m in a Mustang, the S550 interior just looks more Mustang.
