Excellent video, James! Your praise and criticisms for this car are accurate. I have a ’21 GT Premium convertible w/10AT, 401A pkg, leather interior, B&O sound with 12 spks and subwoofer but no magneride and no performance pkg. I absolutely love it, but you’re right to point out that it’s not an AMG because it’s not SUPPOSED to be an AMG. For $50k, it does everything it’s supposed to do very well! The AT that I got (so I could have ACC) is good but a little slow-shifting in spots. I’ve learned to adapt my acceleration to hit the sweet spot on gear changes. I didn’t get the performance options because I’m not taking it on the track or drag strip. I use it for road trips. After all, the GT stands for “gran turismo” (grand touring) so I use it for touring the beautiful USA. Nevertheless, the exhaust system does produce just the right amount of obnoxiousness. :-)
Slow shifting? What spots are those because I've had many sports cars and unless you get a dct that transmission shifts faster than most. You guys do realize that there are different drive modes right? And that it will shift faster depending on what mode you're in. This kid is driving around using paddle shifters doing 20-30mph and trying to upshift without being on the gas pedal. Most standards don't e even like that.
I was wondering if I should pick a convertible, and you mentioning how nice it is to hear the exhaust with the top down has set my opinion to go with the convertible. Also, really great production quality and overall atmosphere. Thanks for the review!
Awesome review Jim. I'm a Corvette guy and I've owned quite a few, especially the C7's. Your review was my deciding factor to go drive one and my wife and I did. We ended up buying a loaded up Twister Orange with the 10-spd. It's virtually the same thing as the 10-spd in my 19 ZL1 convertible. The Mustang won't be in for another 8 weeks as we ordered it how we wanted. Thanks for the great review !
I really luuuuv this car, I wish Ford could have more options on the interior colours tho, the traditional black seats are boring, you can't have almost every colour with black seats.
I would definitely opt for the manual...BUT that 10R80 is objectively better built and demonstrably faster. The MT-82 is notorious for shift fork failure and gear lockouts. Ford obviously couldn't fit in a Tremec manual at the GT price point.
Hey James, Very nice videos of your channel. Good and neat work. I am in the dilemma of considering if i should go with a 2019 GT convertible or Coupe. I am staying in UAE. My concerns are the 8months of heat + dust. If the rag top is cleanable, will it fade and all. It would be great if u could give me some suggestion with respect to it. Thanks in Advance Rohit
Um MUSTANG PRETO * G T * , teeeeeee doooooooooido , A LIGA DA KING kong BLACK MAMBA , ou seja ; Faço como o cavalinho da marca MUSTANG , SAI COOOOOOORRENDO LOOOOOOOOUCA PRA BEM LONGE .
Nothing abnormal/noticeable. I have one and I also had a 2012 convertible-both are fine. I like this top so much better than my 2012. It is sturdier and opens/closes faster.
First of all..if you purchase a V8 you don’t care about costs especially gas...anyhow..it’s okay..I pay between 45-50 dollar for a full tank..it holds for 300-400 miles depending how you drive
Hi! Is the exhaust we hear in the video stock V8 or is it the active exhaust we hear in sport? I’m asking as I don’t own one and want to rent one and wondering if it would sound like this? Thanks so much!
It's fantastic. And thanks for the excellent video. I've had my current Mustang for 13 years, lol. Buying a new one. Your video was very helpful. Thank you.
I own a 2016 Ecoboost Mustang Convertible. I'm upgrading to this next year. It's great on the twisties. Even much better than my 2012 Camaro SS which is a heavy beast and you can tell in the curves.
You're missing out on capabilities of this car. The handling on windy mountain roads, canyon roads, twisty switch-backs, VERY comparable to the SUPERB handling characteristics of a BMW 3-series. Very buttoned down, very connected. I took a standard turbo 4 convertible to the back roads of Pennsylvania, AND THE HANDLING COMPARED VERY WELL to my 2011 BMW 3-series. The latest Mustangs are excellent handling cars, without question.
Just bought a gt convertible unfortunately here in Australia they don’t come in a manual as I wanted one but hell I’m gonna have me some fun anyways , great vid👍
Here's a little hint. If you make a good video on topics I'm interested in I will automatically subscribe. If I have to hear a whole add about liking and smashing before you get to the video there is literally no chance I will consider it!
For only a little over 3k subs, the production is so classy compared to all the other car review try hards. This channel hits different 💯
Thank you! It's comments like this that make what I do feel appreciated and worth it👌🏻
He waits a whole day to finish that sentence 1:34
Why the Hell mustang keeps putting that antenna on the back of the convertible making car look bad in my Opinion
Where the fuck should they put it? On the middle of the nose? Beside the badge??
Change it
Out w a stuby
I've got an 18 gt auto and I agree with you about the 10 speed. A tune fixed all that Learning the car solves that as well. They're a riot to drive!!
My arthritis won't allow a manual.. Still love it! I'll take one thank you lol 💜💜💜

Maybe you should stick with a Toyota. Mustangs are for dudes.
Convertible is best life! There is no going back.
@@markelraya10 your a loser haha
@@void6994 first of all it’s “you’re” not “your” fix your grammar before talking to me.
"It's the perfect level of obnoxious." OK subscribed LOL
I'm selling my 2016 Ecoboost Mustang Convertible for this in the Spring!! Love that V8 rumble!!!!
V6 is slow you should've bought the V8 earlier!
@@SoonYouLLBe it’s the 4-banger, not the v6...
Lol , like most you don't know how to drive a 10R80. If you want the car to perform put it in sport mode and the gear selector in S..
He’s right, manual transmission is definitely the way to go! ! !
Is there any website that sells catback exhaust with active exhaust on a mustang GT Convertible cause I can’t find any 😭💀
The upcoming matt watson
Haha definatley an inspiration
Has Ford corrected the problems they had with the MT82 manual transmission?

Your welcome I'm glad to have helped out in your decision! Congratulations on your new car👌🏻
How's the Mustang?
I know you miss the down low torque from the Lt1, but I love the mustang too
I really luuuuv this car, I wish Ford could have more options on the interior colours tho, the traditional black seats are boring, you can't have almost every colour with black seats.
For the most part they should definitely experiment with more
My opinion, I don't really focus much on the seating. It's comfy, but still looks nice in a way. It blends with the exterior.
I heard the paddles respond better when you shift into sport mode
Any differences of significance between this and the 2021?
That bad boy sounds oh so nice.
with the stupidly loud music you just lost a subscriber
Nice vid! and Thanks for going under the hood! So many reviewers don't do that
Cool video 👍🏼 but pls wear seatbelt when drivin. 😄😁🤘🏼
Thank you mate, a good straight shooting informative video. I like it. Cheers.
Your welcome👌🏻
Once again great view and some good valid points.
#Fordstrong
Thank you
ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT THANKS
great production
"The perfect level of obnoxious lol." Yep that nails it.
When you do a video in the middle of a field in Kansas, is wind a factor? Nice review, keep up the good work and sweet sunglasses.
This was CT not Kansas and this was by the beach
I simply love this car but unfortunately this version is not available in India 😶
That sucks I'm sure it's be super expensive to import
I would definitely opt for the manual...BUT that 10R80 is objectively better built and demonstrably faster. The MT-82 is notorious for shift fork failure and gear lockouts. Ford obviously couldn't fit in a Tremec manual at the GT price point.
Yeah either way I think even with the manual that comes with the GT your better off than with the 10 speed if you like to drive spiritedly
But there's always a list of pros and cons with every decision
Great video, that infotainment screen is not lol…all these ghosts 👻 need to subscribe!
it's almost double the price in my country
Well, an American muscle car like the mustang would be considered exotic in some places of the world.
I love convertible 🚗
Hey James,
Very nice videos of your channel. Good and neat work.
I am in the dilemma of considering if i should go with a 2019 GT convertible or Coupe. I am staying in UAE. My concerns are the 8months of heat + dust. If the rag top is cleanable, will it fade and all. It would be great if u could give me some suggestion with respect to it.
Thanks in Advance
Rohit
Me personally I'd go hard top the convertible isn't as rigid, and I doubt the tag top would be easy to keep up with
Go with the conv..coupes are boring and conv are the non plus ultra
Did I miss something, or did you not open the trunk or show the hard top retracting?
Dude sorry, But Here in Michigan you must use the whole seat belt unless you want to donate to the Police fund (Ticket)
Had to build mine, was zero 6 spd anywhere with the options I wanted. Delivery is August 14th
Awesome congratulations on the car👌🏻
Yup no one drives manuals now. Soon we’ll be forced to drive automatic.
@@JamesSalvatore thanks....

Why would it be called premium that doesn't sound like America muscle how bout ss that sounds great
I am fascinated by the American fascination of oversized suits and jackets.
What's that annoying sound that comes up randomly like at 12:26?
PERFECT LEVEL OF OBNOXIOUS! SOLD MY 993 FOR THIS! YAY! DON'T HAVE TO BABY ANYTHING ANYMORE.
Did you notice any wind noise with the top up coming through the windows?
To be honest it's been 2 months since I drove it can't remember
Nothing abnormal/noticeable. I have one and I also had a 2012 convertible-both are fine. I like this top so much better than my 2012. It is sturdier and opens/closes faster.
you don't know how to drive to the automatic ask raiti, he knows how to drive the automatic lol
I like the car a lot is perfect for me but the sound bothers me.
Lol.. we did search convertible for what?? U didn't even show the conversation
Wow this is a hidden gem of a channel 👊
Haha thank you I'm working on not being so hidden
Why dod you guys have a problem with the seat belts????
Goals 💪
Your hot
Can I ask if it can be a daily driver car? From home to work? It doesn't cost to mush on gas?
First of all..if you purchase a V8 you don’t care about costs especially gas...anyhow..it’s okay..I pay between 45-50 dollar for a full tank..it holds for 300-400 miles depending how you drive
Earned a sub +like! Love it!
Rented this car and i felt like it was so fun
Salvatore+mustang =⚡⚡⚡
SMASH THAT FUKIN LIKE BUTTON
My favorite sound at 0:49
Really likes your review!
Good review. Milford, CT is my hometown !
Thank you small world
Cousin or sibling of damon and stefen Salvatore?
I've gotten that a few times
That boy sharpe. I always liked that and the corvette compared to the Germans muscle. Great review
Thanks Willie I thought I'd mix things up with this car and bring a little American muscle on the channel
No mention of the convertible cowl shake...
I feel like that's a given in a car at this price point
Hi! Is the exhaust we hear in the video stock V8 or is it the active exhaust we hear in sport? I’m asking as I don’t own one and want to rent one and wondering if it would sound like this? Thanks so much!
It's the active exhaust
James Salvatore thanks!!
Your welcome👌🏻
How much it costs
Pffft, Mustang...
2:20 but the sto0ock
James, may I ask where you got that leather jacket?
It's from the 80's my friend Vintage Gucci
My dads
It's fantastic. And thanks for the excellent video. I've had my current Mustang for 13 years, lol. Buying a new one. Your video was very helpful. Thank you.
Price?
All about straight line driving. Boring.
Mustangs are pretty good at handling
I own a 2016 Ecoboost Mustang Convertible. I'm upgrading to this next year. It's great on the twisties. Even much better than my 2012 Camaro SS which is a heavy beast and you can tell in the curves.
What state are you driving through?
All my videos are in CT

Send this GT to Roush or Shelby you'll have a Mustang from Hell!!! 👹👹👹👹👹
Superb review.
Thank you
Can you have SiriusXM in this car ??
