I bought a 2015 C 300 yesterday. In the showroom they had a black c 63s and the salesman started it for me and engaged the sports exhaust. Man it was the great. Now I know why you love yours so much.

[@AutoVlogOfficial]

Indeed :)

[@DanielSadjadian]

Sounds brilliant, long live the V8!

[@AutoVlogOfficial]

Yes sir !

[@ponygt6629]

I am a person who loves attention to detail and from my driving experience the new 18 Mustang is not a small improvement, its a BIG improvement over the s550 gen in in almost every manner 1. Engine, I felt the 15-17 s550 weak under 3500 rpm, the new 460 Di 5.0 has significantly more torque at 2200-2500 revs, so while driving in 4th gear at 50 mph, a kick down will give more punch and acceleration than the 435 hp one in 15-17 GT,I also noticed that the 5.0 of Ford revs slightly faster than the GM 6.2 V8, it easily passes 4000 rpm with slight dab on throttle while the GM 6.2 is slightly more lazy to rev, also I will mention this, its still not as strong as the GM 6.2 V8 between 2500-4500 rpm, but the thing is if we put pedal to metal post 6000 rpm the GM looses steam and becomes harsh and tinny and more sound but less progress while the 460 5.0 pulls harder and harder till 7000 rpm, so the GT although has a slight disadvantage at lower rpms it more than makes up for it in the last 1000 rpm, 2. Sound, no competition here the new 5.0 now sounds as good as the other 2 V8s, ie Hemi and the 6.2 of GM, 1 thing I didnt like is while cruising at 6th gear at 55 mph, I heard too much drone from Ford V8, I didnt expect this much drone from a DOHC Di 5.0, 3. All s550 and s550 460 HP GTs weigh more than 3800 lbs, so its not a light car, the Camaros definitely are lighter, but despite being heavy the new Mustangs feel as fast as the 6.2 Camaros, all hail that monster new 5.0 V8 of Ford, its truly an epic motor. 4. Interior , exterior, SYNC 3, all are better than 15-17 s550s 5. The new transmission , its definitely better, in regular drives the difference isnt apparent , but drive it hard and the shifts at higher rpm feel as smooth as ones it lower rpm, in 15-17s the shifts at higher rpms leaves behind a big jerk and pushes driver back to seat uncomfortably, new transmission does take out this jerk a lot and feels like a smooth nudge back into seats, also down shifts happen faster with better rev matching than 15-17 s550,I feel this new 6 speed MT is definitely better than rivals manual transmissions 6. I had a 30 mile test drive and the car I drove had 2200 miles on it, and I was observing MID calculated 24 mpg at 50 mph cruise in 6th gear, true it might be around 20-21 mpg if we do manual testing, but still I feel better than 15-17 s550 that stood at 19-20 mpgs at same cruising speeds 7. Dynamically too the new Mustang felt better, even the base versions had slightly firmer damping and better ABS calibration, also the nose dive felt improved while braking probably due to lower hood and car in general felt more willing to counter under steer unlike s550 which had more under steer built into it probably for safety reasons as new Mustang is a global car, new 1 is better here as well, its slightly more wild and thats how a Mustang should be.

[@trilingualkid]

yes but Mustang V8's are no AMG V8's.

[@08turboSS]

Daniel Sadjadian sadly V8's will be gone from production in another few, 2-3 year's. As will the privilege to drive be gone by 2025 qwhen half the world population is supposed to disappear/die off, etc.

[@necomartin2059]

Idiotic!

[@MichaelBacon212]

Awesome job Mike!!!!! Your less than 10k subs away from hitting 250k subscribers!!!!! Keep up the great work brother!!!!!

[@AutoVlogOfficial]

Thanks bud !

[@JesseRizo]

Personally I think it looks way better 👌 makes me happy that it has the valve system 👍, great video mike left a thumbs up my friend

[@Juergen_Mueller]

Very meaningful, driver-focussed review with perfect sound transmission - thank you!

[@fuzzy5987]

The 2018 Ford Mustang is one good looking car. Unfortunately the facelift doesn't go on sale here in the UK until early Spring. Can't wait to test drive the 5.0 GT though 💪

[@andrewmiller120]

Awesome video Mike as always!👍 Happy Thanksgiving man!

[@ThePapaJ81]

I have a love/hate relationship with the convertible. I put on the right side (passenger side) structural support brace that is under the car. They're a lot of work and when they come down the line every 3rd or 4th car they can be a pain in the ass. But people love them and buy them so that's why we build so many so it keeps us working. I'm glad you like it.. thanks for the good review.

[@konawolv]

Hey man, just wanted to say great job on your content. It's fantastic, I hope you have a long a lucrative future ahead of you on this channel

[@AutoVlogOfficial]

[@jmasoncars4452]

[@steveknoell9566]

Love your videos mike! I get excited every day when I see your uploads lol, I want this car extremely bad! Owning a gt350 is my dream car just like your Mercedes, hopefully some day! For a plain GT that is an awesome upgrade all around for the 17's!

[@MASTCK]

Can’t wait to get mine!😩

[@WillMotivation]

Love your channel

[@kerrylogan2978]

I bought a 2018 Mustang GT Manufacturer's Buyback with only 2,063 miles, for $19,500 off sticker. Still has the remainder of the original warranty. Engine seized in less than 500 miles, but Ford replaced it with a "Service Engine" meaning the new engine was only missing the intake and exhaust manifolds. Runs great, looks great at a price that is acceptable. Equipment Group 400A, Adaptive Cruise Control, Active Valve Performance Exhaust, Safe & Smart Package with Adaptive Cruise Control With Blind Spot and Cross-Traffic Alert. In addition it has Performance Package 1, Recaro Leather Seats, Enhanced Security Package and Voice-Activated Touchscreen Navigation System.

[@2Aqua1]

I’m pleased that you’ve maintained a relationship with Moon TWP... everybody WINS, Mike!!👊

[@BS-xj4tk]

Woo fresh content!!!

[@coryr9938]

The gauges are so cool, they definitely hit it out of the park with that.

[@mapp4751]

will always love the Stangs!

[@dennisthemenance5433]

My 1st Mustang in 69' after getting out of the ARMY, was a 1965 convert... Couldn't afford a Used Vet and this just had a 289 in it but it was a nice Fun Car and the GF and her GF's Loved Borrowing it to go to the Beach and shopping..Ahhh, the Good Ol'Days! Enjoy Life the best you can. It don't last long..!

[@damienmbanga1553]

Mike😊 keep up the good work!

[@user-li8sx4yj4s]

Im glad that your enjoying your c63s! You deserve it!!

[@jbaby007]

I can't wait to buy mine!

[@polygado9668]

wow great review for this car 2018 ford mustang GT... like it

[@Hansenboy]

We love it😍🔥

[@yolsclassics6347]

its a really nice car but I still like where the computer screen is on my G37 Coupe. up high on the dash so quick peaks at it doesn't totally prevent me from losing sight of the road. Still, this Mustang is cool and that 4 sec 60 spring is impressive.

[@tuckerlane7995]

This video makes the car look a lot better than the pictures.

[@jaschannel5621]

nice vid man

[@RobMotive]

Happy Thanksgiving Mike. That’s the same HP as my Vette! I drove a GT manual a couple years ago...It was fun, but I was underwhelmed! Still, I do like the Mustang GT. 👍

[@gameshow8602]

I have a 2018gt premium great video

[@ModelCarHobbyist]

Hey Mike! Great review! I figured with a six speed manual and 10 speed auto the Mustang would get a little better gas mileage. Not a bad car for the price. I'm holding out for the Cobra...dreaming more like it...

[@HALWG51]

Being in Moon Township I knew exactly where you were driving. It's cool that you were less than a mile from me.

[@dinuranga11]

Thnks for u r great vedeo...👍👍👍 Love mustang so much...😍😍😍

[@raymondrumbundaberg]

Sounds great from the cabin. I wonder how different the sound 8s from the cabin between the hardtop and convertible and does the sound change when the roof is down.

[@CarMaintenanceGuy]

That was hilarious seeing 74 MPH in a 45! LOVED IT!!!!!!!!!!

[@Greg_call]

Wow, nice looking car. Beautiful.

[@arthurwarnock8516]

Damn that V8 is a great sound!

[@gpavlovic25]

What camera and mount did you use for this POV video? I have a 2015 Mustang. Love the new one but cost is not worth the upgrade for me.

[@sashinramsaywack7730]

How was your experience first driving a stick?

[@keywestsunset3897]

Excellent Video! One question I have is I am from the North East and I know you said that the Mustang isn't a winter car. I really can't be carrying two cars financially, so with that being said is it more realistic to scratch my dream car off my list or can it work year round even in the north east winters? (BTW, I want the convertible!) Thanks again.

[@maet1201]

Greetings from Chile!

[@joekazouh412]

Wow. That's soooo much nicer!

[@M3NTALMAGIC]

the go pro cam was a bit shaky but the only thing I would have liked to see more of was the computer functions on the center console.

[@vaughnlife1]

thx for the information

[@bobl78]

why no C63 update ? Has it been raining ?

[@MrMraggies1996]

Can you please see if you can do a 2018 Mustang EcoBoost, Mike?

[@Jc50gt]

Can you still change your exhaust (aftermarket exhaust) and still change the note of the exhaust?

[@jordanvalencia6668]

The front end is beautiful.

[@DavidMartinez-zn7yv]

awsome video

[@calebwebb3]

That new 5.0 Coyote Gen 3 engine sound real nice and produce some good power compared to previous stock GT mustangs.

[@megahexs]

i love how you blew that stop sign at about 8:50

[@karykares]

Hehe...License and registration plz 👮🏼🤧😩

[@sunnyboy8644]

THUG LIFE! :)

[@Quetzalcoatl0]

At 5:15 the exhaust sound modes, does the sound changes for the outside too or it's just one of those fake things they do with the speakers ?

[@shabouga]

The clutch and flywheel are supposedly different. Feels no different than 2017?

[@persiancat1116]

Sick car

[@kevinnorwood7355]

Love the majority of changes to the 2018. Not sure if I can get past the video game dash and the tiny fog lights.

[@chrisbestking]

Good Video!!

[@AutoVlogOfficial]

Thanks !

[@MrPeteragent]

I"m not celebrating Thanksgiving but I hope it would be great for everyone.

[@yourmanzach2307]

Do you get the valves on the base GT? Or do u have to pay extra for the valves... cause the car starts at 36k now smh getting way to expensive and got rid of the V6 which was amazing compared to the turbo 4

[@stephanhofmann6824]

Does your testet mustang GT have auto rev match in the sport- or track mode? Thanks for your answer. Greetings vom switzerland 🇨🇭

[@salahdinelaciqui5323]

Nice car 😍😍

[@j.co.7248]

In your opinion which one sounds better:Mustang GT 2018 with active exhaust or Mercedes C63 AMG coupe with performance exhaust?

[@noahs2ndchannel]

i like the way u review no fucking around, subbed

[@vishwaparakrama2548]

Nice video....what is the 2018 mustang top speed in km/h

[@dunnigan66]

6speed manual much better softer clutch and shifts alot better and no noise reduced does not shift or feel like the 15 to 17 GT!!!! One thing I do like about the GT theese guys saying on here are over inflated in my area pp and premium around here 39 to 42 grand plus I just bought one and was able to get sync 3 and active exhaust system which included mycolors and drive options almost like last years premium without the leather love it. Cost was 33200 with 6speed manual. On the lot they had a Kona blue base gt 6speed for 30 grand.

[@jamespugh]

Great fallow up review on the 2018 mustang like see a video on the 10 speed auto. Any ford updates on new #ford #ranger for 2019 would be great?!!

[@johnkylebonghanoy2550]

Really wish i could have this as my bday gift.

[@KB-ke1nt]

2 stroke for motorcycle and v8 for cars is the best combination ✌️✌️

[@codyok7260]

The heated steering wheel catches fire

[@jrajigadoo]

Why is the camera on your head when your showing the dashboard. I couldn't see the option.

[@slomango7927]

Need to drive a 18 for sure....always been underwhelmed with the lack of torque in the previous years

[@MultiDJChaos]

Dam this and the koenigsegg Agera r are my dream cars.

[@angelcruzperez]

Happy thanksgivin

[@endlessroadie3131]

Angel Cruz Perez thanksgiving

[@StangMode]

you can review my 10speed AUTO 2018 Mustang GT, if you need a 10speed to review, great review

[@endlessroadie3131]

EcoBeast so why didn't you get a manual?

[@konawolv]

EcoBeast thanks for dropping this comment. I'm obviously not the content creator, but I think it's awesome for the content community to come together like this.

[@StangMode]

konawolv sure brother

[@StangMode]

Endless Roadie cuz Auto = cheat codes 😎

[@endlessroadie3131]

EcoBeast because America and to lazy to push a pedal and push or pull a stick...

[@manny41p]

Props for wearing a camera on your face in public like that for a great POV review! 👍🏾

[@metaljew4456]

Mike, why do you love cruise control? Where do you use it? Personally I have never even turned it on in my last three whips.

[@406Steven]

I don't have CC in my truck and sure miss having it on road trips. It gives your foot a rest rather than cramping up and keeps your speed from creeping up, I routinely find myself at 90+ MPH because it gets away from me.

[@mmaxud1319]

Do one vlog with your family too dude. Maybe you can do some amg driving reactions videos too dude

[@AutoVlogOfficial]

I would love to but my wife does not want to be on camera lol

[@aymanmohammed955]

What do favorite guys Camron zl1 or ford mustang gt? Which is the best

[@npduncan73]

Looks great, but does the interior still rattle like it's falling apart?

[@kenw8275]

Nathan Duncan i don’t think the mustang can ever change that.

[@jonnyjeannus1953]

i just want to know is that a performance pack

[@IDontKnowHer212]

Happy Thanksgiving eve!

[@AutoVlogOfficial]

Likewise !

[@morresortiz]

Engine sound 👌👌👌👌

[@picnicrider3731]
