@@zemaniak22 that’s why I love the New Edge. Add a little bit of love and you have a dirt cheap pony car that is a monster on the streets and in the corners
LOL!!! MotorWeek you never fail at giving the slowest tested ET'S out of all other car channels. You guys are very consistent at giving the slowest times, every single time.
In real world, the Mustang GT takes 0-100 kmph in 4.8s and 400m in 13.0s when tested with GPS by sport auto.de They always give accurate times and are usually very consistent, For Europe the RHD Mustangs will get only 420 bhp and 390ft pounds so its estimated that 0-100 will take 5.0s flat and quarter mile 13.2s, still not too bad since the new Mustng is going to sell cheaper than an Audi TT, same as a VW Golf R, which it competes directly with, So the new Mustng has real potential of success globally,not just in USA.
I honestly like 👍 the front of this version more than the latest one, but it's not a deal breaker and its still much better looking than the Camaro. I still love ❤ the interior though.
buzzcrushtrendkill How is GM too late when the Z/28 came out and obliterated the Boss 302, and only now Ford is trying to compensate just in time for GM to leapfrog them again with the new stiffer, lighter Camaros? I would suggest that Ford is an entire generation too late with the GT350.
I have owned many vehicles 5 of which where manual as well as my new 2017 mustang i could always outshift my automatic unless u plan on spending 15000$ on a tranny then stick to manual hun
You probably dont care at all but does someone know a tool to get back into an instagram account?? I stupidly forgot the password. I would love any help you can offer me
My dad and I had the pleasure of renting a GT when we went to Texas it was the funnest car on the planet and I miss it every day Even so I do feel that the new car is more of a typical sports car than a full fledged muscle car now and my personal favorite of them all is the 2005 GT and that remains my dream car to this day
This is America's best value. I have a MPPK 435i 6-speed MT and while I like my car better, the Mustang GT with its 6-speed MT comes very close to the fun factor offered from my car, and for more than $20,000 less.
Best s550 ever. Got one in 2023 2017 mustang GT with 35K miles. Got a set of wheels and nitto tires for this summer can't wait. This thing handles nicely.
these cars get heavier & slower... the Boss 302 did 60 in 4.0 and 1/4 in 12.3 with less power and more track focused gearing. a 12.9 is what an old school WS6 was getting back in 2002/2003...
Any amount of airs that need to go on are worth it to burn down that tired old meme of American cars having shitty handling, in my opinion. Damn good job from Ford, this.
@@hassantalib3426 Uhhh... Yeah. Have you seen the new Camaro? It looks like a frog getting crushed under a steel press. They also have very poor visibility and tons of blind spots. Their interiors all also incredibly bland and ugly. The only things Camaros have going for them are their engines. Otherwise, they're just awful.
@@ReallyRyan. i hear you bruh, apples n oranges, to agree and disagree, i like how we have our differences without all the hate or race being bought into it, thats the shit that angers me

Every new Mustang 5.0 generation always had the same 0-60 or quarter mile times 12.8-12.9@109-110 mph 😱😧😰.So tht means either the test drivers r bad or the 5.0 engine is the same n theres no difference!!!😌 lol
@@jrvbamafan1 you didnt get it. I am mocking the fools that say how slow cars were for a particular era. Those comments make no sense. .. example.. " wow! 145 hp. My wifes 2018 civic will lay a beating on that 82 trans am".
The fact this is sold with an automatic should shame anyone from buying one. Go for a car that comes only with a manly transmission. Don't be mistaken for something less than manly.
All of this chatter about manual and automatic trans. You would go for the automatic because it is faster. You can use the paddle shifters if you'd like. But all of this talk about a stick shift being what "real drivers" want can't be in the same discussion about performance. Time moves on, technologies advance.
buzzcrushtrendkill None of that changes the fact that a manual is always going to be more fun to drive. No, paddle shifters are not the same thing. Not even close.
James Denz Your location does not have any impact on which transmission is more fun to drive. I understand that an auto is preferable in san francisco, that doesn't make it better or preferable anywhere else. It's simply a better tool for that particular job.
***** And.. what does clutch wear have to do with being enjoyable to drive? I drive in standstill traffic every single day with my manual transmission. And I will keep doing it because manuals are much more preferable to me. Location still has nothing to do with which transmission is more fun.
***** None of that made any sense. I asked what clutch wear had to do with BEING ENJOYABLE TO DRIVE. You apparently ignored that question and answered a question I wasn't asking you. Why don't you try again. Your location has nothing to do with how fun a transmission is to drive. For me nothing takes away the enjoyment of driving a manual, including traffic. Which is something I already explained to you.
James Denz Unfortunately people are lazy and want automatics. Manuals are still the way to go if you are any kind of driving enthusiast.But yes, more autos will be sold than manuals.
YeaHHH..... Now look at all the video's of people crashing there 435HP mustangs. Way too much for just any one to have. Should have reserved that for the higher end mustangs, cobra, saleen, roush and on. At a much higher price. Thats too much for average joe and his average kids to handle.
If European cars are really good and European feel is the feel that I would be looking for, Why would I buy this American car just because it feel like European car? I would go and buy a European car. If buy an American car I want a car that feels like an American car.
they mention an IRS and its all euro all the sudden? I think the European thing is just a marketing scheme. Get in the driver seat of one of these and youll be reminded of what it is.
Schon F "I think the European thing is just a marketing scheme"' Even if there is a thing that makes a car uniquely European, that thing does not necessarily translate to something to envy European cars. For example, especially after the last VW scandal, a European feeling car could well be something like; "I can't pinpoint it but somehow I feel like I am screwed", or "I can get stranded in the middle of nowhere anytime", or "If my car breaks down will there be enough money for me to cover the repair costs?", or "Even if I can cover the repair costs, if the car breaks down could it be fixed even at the dealer?" etc. These are more realistic "European" car feelings than simply using this term as an expression of envy.
that steering wheel SUCKS... almost as bad as the 2010/2011 Camaro steering wheel....not to mention I feel like I was going to rip off the shifter from the console lol. yeah... gonna get a nice Challenger SRT. 392...6spd...
Jake From State To each their own... but even you have to admit the Challengers are more practical. when I had mine the family wanted to take that car over the full sized sedan lol
Not only is the automatic quicker and faster than the manual, it gets better fuel economy. I love sticks but my 2016 GT will have an automatic. It will be satisfying beating my neighborr's '15 GT manual.

Kaiser lmao! Many have tested slower times than this! It is slower because of the added 200lbs and IRS

lol so many many haters, heres the thing every; If you can afford to pay for it you deserve it
a human cant change gears quick as a auto tranmission but manuals you can have a little more fun
Yep, and the whole point of a car like this is it's FUN!
it's not how fast, it's how it clutches. Human actualy dumps the clutch too fast compared to how an auto shifts.

COOL MotorWeek | Road Test: 2015 Ford Mustang GT
these cars get heavier & slower... the Boss 302 did 60 in 4.0 and 1/4 in 12.3 with less power and more track focused gearing. a 12.9 is what an old school WS6 was getting back in 2002/2003...
NICE MUSTANG
was the performance pack included or was this the plain stock one?
That was a Performance Pack model they tested. Wheels, and Strut Tower Brace give it away.
but it was 37,000 usd back then , add premium package $42000 usd . That package today is 45000usd
Fix those fucking headlights! love the blue color.
Interesting...As I was just watching their Road Test of the 2010 GT500 with 540bhp, and it put up the same 1/4 mile and 0-60 times as this GT.
That price tag makes me laugh no way you'd find one that cheap my local dealer starts off at nearly 50 gs an ecoboost is at 37 gs
Gt premium performance package 45000usd
32k usd? holy fuck.. in Europe costs almost twice
