The Biggest Problem with The 2025 Mustang GTD

Thanks Real Living Markets for sponsoring todays video! To try them out visit www.reallivingmarkets.net/ and use code "save15" to get 15% off your order.
A car that no one asked for but, is arguably very cool looking and will probably lay down great results with the right driver behind the wheel. However it is not delivering the value for the track rat it is targeting, and the rich person that buys it for their local car shows will never use it because it won't have the best road manners. The price point and the drivability of the car are really going to create a sales challenge for Ford. Would you spend $300,000 on a modified mustang?

The GTD will be a masterpiece. It will be looked at as the shift for Ford going more special. The 50/50 weight with the transaxle will make it have a unique character. It's just the mustang name that is making people think cheap. This one is a keeper trust me.

[@iamarobotninja]

This guy is telling us how the car feels a year into the future. Amazing!

[@Jedcoe]

Somehow the Ford GT being so expensive felt OK but a $300,000 mustang seems like a vanity project for the ultra rich. Can't they come up with a Corvette competitor instead? This thing isn't aspirational, it's designed to be someone's 15th car. It doesn't feel very Ford, and certainly doesn't feel very Mustang.

[@lornenewhouse3183]

Isn't the GT500 basically a Corvette competitor?

[@bruhice6058]

I mean, this is right on par with the gay raptor

[@williamegler8771]

The Corvette and the Mustang aren't nor have they ever been competitors. They appeal to different buyers and those buyers don't cross shop.

[@nfchance76]

I think you hit the nail in the head. When this car comes out what people will be talking about is the ridiculous prices that people are paying for them. We will never see one on the road, maybe at some car shows.

[@Xlaxe7]

Ford is not built the same like 30 years ago

[@EnthusiastsGarage]

When the GTD debuted I was in the “it’s too much for a mustang” crowd, 300k is well into the big boys club where you get into the ultra-exclusive cars. Then I started to really think about the overall picture. People pay over 300k for a GT2RS or GT3RS and no one says, “you played 300k for a 911 Carrera?!” what is an RS level 911, it is a heavily modified base 911 with very high-performance racing parts, a ton of R&D, and very low production numbers, this is the same receipt. While Porsche has a very impressive and lengthy racing pedigree, Ford has repeatedly shown us when they are willing to cut a blank check and burn a river of midnight oil, there isn’t really much they can’t do. If I remember correctly an Italian racing company laughed in their face years ago and got the surprise of their lives. Is this car going to be too much race car for the road, that remains to be seen as there is still a lot to learn since Ford has released very few details. Heck, we don’t even know what the inside looks like yet. I am hoping that this street legal race car has the amenities you would expect in a road car, yes, I hope they study the best ultra track focused road cars and soften the edge just enough to make the car enjoyable on the street. As far as the price is concerned, even though it isn’t finalized yet, it is about 25% more than a GT3RS. I hope that they can either bring it closer to 250K or make some of the supposed options, titanium exhaust, active aero, magnesium wheels, as standard equipment. No doubt that part of the price is exclusivity as this will not only be a very limited run given to a chosen few, but this may very well be the highest performance road legal ICE “Mustang” ever. I’m sure other brand loyalists will always dismiss this car as a “mustang” no matter how many records it beats or how capable it is but in reality, the GTD shares almost nothing with the mustang you buy from your local Ford dealer other than the name. I just hope Ford puts it in the hands of the right people.

[@Loulovesspeed]

You say the 3rd gen. GT didn't get the engine it deserved. It got the engine that made it quite successful on the race track which was its primary venue, then as a street machine. All the whiners I heard and read of didn't have a clue as to why Ford chose the TTV6 because they never read the story of it's purpose, it's design requirements and they just couldn't imagine a V6 that was more than capable as any V8 they might have put in it. I watched the 2 TTV6 GTs almost effortlessly stomp the 2 factory C7R Corvettes over and over as well as the BMW M8. It didn't need a V8, it didn't get a V8, and it was very successful with a 647 HP TTV6!, including winning Le Mans exactly 50 years after the first GT40s! The GTLM class it ran in had power limitations to further make all the cars more competitive, so the winning Ford GT was 500hp instead of 647 and it was still victorious.

[@ESPSJ]

I don't mind how it looks, it's quite aggressive. It doesn't really matter how much it costs with small production numbers, it will sell out.

[@RunawayRampage1]

Do I agree with the $300k price tag? Not quite, but I could agree on maybe $250k for many reasons. They basically built this car from the ground up and used a whole array of new unique technology like the carbon fiber body that they haven’t done yet recently, the new dry sump engine, the inboard suspension, the designing it had to take to actually achieve the 50/50 weight distribution, and even the magnesium wheels. To price it under $250k would basically be spitting in the project teams face.

[@TechnicaX]

I agree. I don't think people understand the technology behind this car. dry sump oil tank and a transaxle make a huge difference. Not just adding horsepower.

[@technom3598]

You guys dont understand th4 suspension on thr car. Its a cabon bodied 800h0 gt3rs with pushrod suspension... For same or less money than a gt3rs. Also lower production numbers. It isnt too much.

[@richardmodglin3900]

They can not get past the Mustang badge.

[@Loulovesspeed]

I'll tell you exactly why the think it's just another GT500 or whatever. It's because they don't have the intelligence to READ about this fantastic, hand built machine. They look at a picture or two of it and think they are experts on it! It's really sad and scary that much of the young generation seem to have given up on reading to learn about something! They act like 4 year olds and just look at pictures and think that's all they need to do to be an expert on something.

[@Loulovesspeed]

I can definitely tell you why they think it's just a new GT500 or something. They haven't got the brains or even the common sense to READ about this very cool Mustang creation. All they do is look at pictures of it and share misinformation about it with their friends.

[@Steinerrides]

I think what will hurt is most is that at the end of the day, it's still a mustang. People see mustangs every day and probably wouldn't think much of this car if they saw one unless they're a car person and know what it is. But I think the average person is just going to see another mustang. When people see a ferrari or a porsche or a ford gt or some other high class car, they understand the status it represents. I don't know if this car will do that.

[@burgerbandit3646]

Bro what? 💀💀 Ain't no way anyone is gonna see that and think it's a regular Mustang. Even a GT350 breaks necks and gets looks and this is 2 feet wider lol. Thing looks like it's from 2077. If anything, car guys are the one that's gonna dislike it because they'll think "it's just a Mustang" reguardless of how good it performs because of brand loyalty. I believe this will get tons of attention on the street and folks wondering what it is.

[@burgerbandit3646]

@matthewstein9121 i highly doubt that. If Shelby Mustangs get lots of attention and are way closer in similarity, this will be a whole other thing. Reguardless, you're not paying for getting attention with the car, which I'm positive you'll get tons of. You're paying for its performance.

[@Loulovesspeed]

@matthewstein9121 - Just think of it as a 1953 Corvette 6 cylinder next to a C8 Z06. Would you think of that as just another Corvette? Guarantee you wouldn't!!

[@Loulovesspeed]

This Mustang isn't made for "the average person" so it really doesn't matter what they do or don't think about it! Those relatively few that will be able to buy one will know very well what this car is, and those that don't will find out pretty damned fast if they try and mess with it. They only plan to make 1-2,000 total at this time, and they will have no problem selling every one they make!

That is exactly what Ford built this car for - in GT3 form, and that is to race and win in FIA endurance racing and SCCA sports car racing. Don't mean to spoil the party for you but this GTD will also smoke the GT500 in acceleration because it has more power and will weigh a significant amount less than the GT500. As a bonus, it will increase in value due to it's limited availability and because it is a specialty vehcle, virtually hand made at Multimatic in Toronto, Canada. 🏆 🏁

I get the points being made on the GTD. But I'm withholding judgement until I hear reviews from the civilian public about how it handles and what the interior is like.

Who does ford to expect to sell this new mustang to? Besides collectors & youtubers who buy for views I don’t see an actual market for them. I think Ford would be better off selling a Ford GT with a 900HP Coyote V8, there would be hundreds of people willing to pay 800K - 1.2M for one from factory. (Remember the new Ford GT was originally 450K starting & about 600K fully loaded). At 300K (before dealer markup) there are a lot of options. The 2012-2014 Aventadors with around 6K miles are selling for anywhere between 250K-280K, which is not only under MSRP but an amazing value. I think it’s cool they’re making a road legal mustang track car but it’s almost unreasonable at 300K, It would be great at 150K-170K but not at 300K.

[@Loulovesspeed]

@deepwebintel - Ford will only make between 1,000 and 2,000 - that's all, and they will sell every one just like they did with the 3rd gen Ford GT.

That is not the problem. A problem it appears is that no mechanic shop wants to touch maintenance of the Ford GT engine. That makes owning one problematic unless you want to use it for show.

[@neeravreddy9360]

People saying this now is a sure sign this will be a future classic. People said the same about the Lexus lfa

[@Loulovesspeed]

Trust me when I say, with all due respect for the Lexus, this car has a ton of high tech components from the inboard rear suspension and massive carbon fiber brakes, to the carbon fiber driveshaft for additional lightness and rotational stability.

[@stevefowler2112]

Are you saying Ford is planning to sell the GTD w/o AC and a sweet audio system like the Cobra R? I highly doubt that...they certainly looked closely at the Porsche GT2 when laying this car out as it has so many things in common. I owned at GT2 for three years and yes they would kill you in a heartbeat if you got stupid and would set any track prod car record you drove on if you had the driving chops, but they were also great street cars. i would expect Ford to insure the same is true withe the GTD

[@doggedlydetermined7022]

They will sell every single one of these and then some

[@iamarobotninja]

How much money have you thrown into that garbage can corvette?

[@landrelarose745]

Yes, I know it will be a Ford, except it will be the ultimate Mustang. No, they aren't going to cell many of them, which is because of how much time each of them will be required to build. I'll type this to you; yes, it will be the ultimate Mustang. What's the purpose of this car? To homologate the race cars.hkw many of them will there to to do that? You'll need to ask the racing sanctioning body for that answer. I don't know it. After it comes off the floor of the factory someplace in the States of Michigan, it will be coming up here to be fitted with carbon fiber body panels and an incredible rear spoiler that will have active aero. The transmission and differential will vexin the same case as each other. There'll be a carbon fiber drive shaft I it. They'll keep the aluminum door panels, though. Oh, there'll be an equal weight distribution for this car. As for buying performance components from the aftermarket, no, you'll not be able to do it for the price of that Mustang GTD. Try buying those carbon fiber body panels for a regular Mustang. The engine along is 5

People that have a bigger wallet than a brain 🧠 that price is asking for a lung and two legs

The list of goods on the GTD is long and legit. You better throw in a right arm as well. You get what you pay for it this world.

If i had money to throw away I would Buy the Mustang GTD if it had a 3rd Pedal 6 or Like the C7 Corvette a 3rd Pedal 7 Speed Manual Transmission.. I am Currently Driving the Best mustang made in 2022 the Roush. With the Rev-Match Tremec 6 Speed, with MagneRide Suspension, and Limited Slip, intercooled Rear Differential (GT500 Differential) it is S/N: 22.0001.450R, this is Why I will Not Sell it.

Yeah but when you buy a RSR you get more than just the car. You get a whole bunch of factory support as well

RSR? Lmao, the RS already sells for double this car and is the direct competitor this car is aiming. No idea why even mention a race car when this is a street car..

[@Australiaisupsidedown]

rsr is a actual race car not a street car posing as one

[@rrennnerr]

He is the play to purchase one of these: 1) Ford starts production on these. They do not sell well. 2) 10 years from bow they are $120,000-$180,000k. 3) Buy at the sub $200,00 and wait another 10 years for gear heads ti reminence about how “great that car was.”

[@BrainFuck10]

That’s not gonna work because the sale process is like the Ford GT, low allocation numbers will keep the prices up, the only way to get it sub $200k is with a salvage title but then it’ll cost a lot to get new parts for this thing

[@Loulovesspeed]

@iamarobotninja - Not until 2 years after you buy it.

[@The-fs5wn]

You seriously complained about the lack of air conditioning in a Cobra R? It’s a stripped down track car, air conditioning doesn’t matter. Really sounding biased here. Would you say the same about a GT Black Series? No, because it’s from your precious Germany. Honestly, think about the purpose of the car before you judge it for the price and brand name alone.

[@darrylrichardson1997]

😂people with deep pockets like you

[@JimmyJinIA]

IMO, the side profile looks like a GTR with a Camaro front end...just not Mustang.

[@richardmodglin3900]

Well, that's why Ford left the taillights in Mustang form so other track drivers know they got passed by a Ford Mustang.

[@DjStiv3]

Im not a mustang fan but.. people are paying 300k for a 22b sti thats 25 years old.... sooo yeah. People is dumb
