Thanks for watching! - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
I've watched so many Topher vids at this point that I've memorized the routes he drives during reviews
Oh my god same here it’s just like you know where he’s going to go and where he’s gonna use his turning signals lmao its so satisfying
Me too. I can close my eyes during a video and know where he is approximately based on signals
What town is it?

I must be getting old because I’m starting to like convertibles more and more
Same. The experience you get in a convertible is unrivaled in my my opinion
PeRRXX yes, yes indeed.
I don’t like how it loses the fastback look but it does look nice. Must be amazing to hear the exhaust that way
@@nozopoke1782 I have a mustang fastback and believe me....75% of mustang drivers hate the convertible as it ruins the look of it
@@supremesoldier354 exactly, Thanks, im 15 and this is my dream car, i watch alot of Vids about it and i agree
I remember when 460 h.p. was supercar territory. Amazing how far car tech has come.
Yeah and for lower end cars back 30 years ago a 130hp DOHC 4cyl was the more “performance” engine choice and now that’s the most basic engine you can get in a new car lol.
@@redey1290 Right? i had a friend how owned a 1976 Cosworth Vega. It's engine was fairly exotic for an American 4 cyl. and it made a whopping 110 hp. It was twice the cost of a regular vega. A 1976 Corvette made 205 h.p. with the L82 motor and a body that squeaked after a couple of years.
Yeah you can smoke that Firebird from Smokey and the bandit with a Honda Odyssey
@@davidburns7905 LOL. I think it was AMC yesterday that ran all the Smokey and the Bandit movies. I remember watching the first one at the drive-in. It was a decent movie. The sequels? Terrible.
@@davidburns7905 Yeah and modified street rods from that era was loud, had terrible mileage and was hit or miss in reliability-no fuel injection, no electronic ignition, plugs would foul, it was good times though.
I watched this video a little under a year ago hoping I’d own one and now I do ☺️ 2021 Manual Gt
Congrats. Hope you enjoy it.
I've watched this video multiple times a day over the last month and will continue to let the sounds of the coyote comfort me as I await my manual 2024 convertible this summer! 😊
Congrats man
💯
Congrats man! Now I’m going to hope for one and get one soon!
I like how they are still using manual transmission
Yeah kinda sucks the autos are rated to hold more power and torque though
I don't like how they are using a Chinese made mt-82 and every standard shift camaro gets a tremec ford is something else
Avoid em at all costs.. the auto is a tank. The 6 speed in this is made of glass. 3rd gear likes to grenade before 50k
Yeah, if you’re gonna go with the manual transmission avoid the mustang and get the Camaro
@@dr._breens_beard tremec is the way 2 go or 10 speed auto
I subscribe to many channels, but this is the one that I actually follow the most.
This honestly my go to source for all things car related and POVs! Absolutely love your videos! I really like the look of this Mustang and while the interior is definitely nice for what it is, I would like to see a major overhaul for the next generation!
Got hooked on watching ur stuff right after i saw the Veloster N review. It actually sounds as if you’re having a conversation with your viewers, and thats what really makes this channel interesting. Looking forward to the next vid!
Chris, you made my Sunday afternoon much better with this video, so amazing to hear that V8 engine. with headphones... loved it. Great job man!!!
At 19:42 of the video you nailed me...top down, tunes playing, hearing that 5.0 engine purr. That's a righteous drive and a way to end a day of work or recreation. And btw great review as always 👏👏👏
@Jon 😂
@bingus enthusiast shut up Karen bring that energy to a different channel
recreation?
On the real note, thank you for bringing a manual back. Ever since 2018 I haven't skipped 1 video.
Wow what a way to wake up my senses on a Sunday morning ride POV Style! Thanks Topher for another great review!!!
I quickly clicked on the video after reading the description and seeing that it was a 6 speed manual 😂👍🏽
Nice video! I've had the same reaction when I test drove my new shadow black gt convertible. I love it.
Thanks for doing the manual with the performance pack.
This is the best vid I love how you have the camera so we can feel like we’re there !!! Other youtubers have the camera located where were looking at them the whole time 🤦🏿♂️
Picked up my new 2020 GT Convertible 6MT PP1 401a AA a month ago and love it! Thanks for the great vid!!
I like how you explain the main aspects of the car. I really enjoyed.
That is a brilliant spec! Great memories of my US roadtrip as well.
That engine is so relaxing to listen to.
Your channel is so great, I’m glad I found it.
Greetings from Canton, MI! Always cool to find new cool car channels, don't know how I missed you before. Subscribed.
“Let’s see how this Mustang drives”...says while engages gear and car is pointed towards bushes 😅
It's that or use a crowd of people.
That part killed me lmao 🤣🤣🤣
Topher has the best auto review channel on TH-cam. Unlike most, the dude can actually drive. 😂 Keep bringing us good stuff buddy.
I love the big convertibles. My Dad had a 1969 GTO. Thing was a giant hunk of metal. Got like 6 mpg when you were flooring it, 7 when you were idling. Big, heavy, powerful, amazing.
Mileage that low wouldn’t only be impractical, wouldn’t it get genuinely obnoxious? Can’t even enjoy the ride for very long
@@xum0007 price of gas was good back then so it wouldnt bother u that much
Love the mustang. Driven it many times
Love your videos man. Keep it up!
Thanks for the great reviews!!
Now you know why I love mustangs!
R.i.p. to those who never can drive on a german Highway 🧎♂️ 🙏
Yeah we were in Germany in ‘13 and drove the autobahn with our 550i, loved it.
It's a pleasure yeah, but you need to have a balls for this and traffic must be peaceful as well😁
@@mateusz4295 of course you need experience and to know your car but to drive faster is mostly possible in the early morning or in the evening. But it makes so much fun
@@janipod yeah but don’t you guys have like super long roads which stretch across the desert in nevada for example? When I see that type of photos I'd love to put the pedal to the metal😁 even tho its not legal but you know - you are on that road alone and that kind of stuff
@@mateusz4295 in germany there is an offer called autobahn-tourism. Guys from all over the world travel to germany for a weekend or week to use the autobahn and have a once in a lifetime experience👌🏻
what a nice casual driving video - makes me want to get this car - maybe with a tighther suspension
"a little phallic but that's okay" LOL best description in a car review bar none
literally the greatest description ive heard in a car review. earned a new sub from me on that one. haha
I was waiting for u to gun that shit the whole time
Mans was just cruisin 🤣🤣🤣🤣
You would be aware why if you but knew even a hint of the Mustang's car community reputation...
@@fortcrafterbossbehold9027 *The charger/Challenger community
Thank you for being so positive
Cool to see somebody from Michigan witch a good car channel
I love Mustangs it's one of my Dream Car..... Seeings you in pov mode feels like I'm riding the car,i absolutely Love it❤❤❤ Please do keep making Mustang, Shelby POV Driving,i would love to see more Please
great reviews, you review em all, especially the more underrated cars that tend to be overlooked by the mainstream reviewers. can you include the songs that you play during the bose sound test? cheers
Nice video, just made a video of Mustang 5.0 convertible Gt Premium automatic and I drive it hard on track mode and I feel like the Automatic might be faster because it shifts crazy, but definitely I agree with you that you can drive it softly and you will still be satisfied because of the addictive exhaust note! 👍
Even though I can't afford one, I feel like I'm driving. Thank you.
Never say never, keep working and investing and you will get there, trust the process
@@streetwearjimmy He didn't said he could never, ever afford one, he said he couldn't afford one at the moment. Neither can I...
I really like your driving style around town. I feel like we drive the same way
so weird to watch a car video and recognize the surroundings 😳 i was like hey wait that’s 275! greetings from a fellow mitten dweller, your channel is awesome.
I always say to myself that I want to buy a newer mustang when I am able to. Obviously a GT. Was still debating on whether I should get a manual or auto. Thinking of going with auto for the ease of use. Up until I watched this video I was set on getting a coupe. Now I really want a convertible. To just be able to hear the engine so much more and have the open top look. I love it.
I just drive with my windows down all the time 👍
I cant get enough of this car
Well, i remember watching this video over and over, about a year ago. I was dreaming about cruising like this and planning to buy GT. Well, yesterday i did my first trip and cruising in my very own, barely even used, orange, 2021 GT :D
Excellent review, loved the nice V8 sound at low speeds (parking lot). Wish the C8 Corvette sounded this nice!
I have a 2019 GT PP1 Manual , and love it.
This one will likely be worth a good bit years down the road. It's a unique spec for sure.
Oh my GOD I just love that color and seat accented red and black
I clicked this video randomly just to see you drive around my home town. Nice lol
I love your amazing driving
God damn what a beautiful muscle car.
exhaust sounds like a thunderstorm. so cool.
I have a 2018 GT PP1 with the MT-82... I have to say Topher is VERY good with a manual in all of his videos. This car is pretty tricky man, at least mine is... the MT-82 is not a good friend to enthusiasts at times. Man at @12:30 , that's about the time the trans feels like it's about to come through the floorboard LOL. Topher is one hell of a driver man.
I have a 17 gt pp1 and I have found once you get heat into the transmission it becomes much better. I baby it till its heated up. Which is typically when you will see LC is ready cause your drivetrain is all nice and warmed up then you can romp on it and with a little man handling it is super good feeling, almost perfect. If I try to shift with too little of throttle between gears you can still get those very notchy shifts but if you drive it the way it wants to be drove with heat in the drivetrain it feels great. I will be getting a short throw kit in the near future and im sure that will make it much better.
God I love your vocabulary
Can’t wait to experience my first manual.
The third gear is very flexible from what I've seen. Does 50 mph @ 3000 rpm.
Who could dislike this car or video? The only dislike I have is the price! The interior space might be a little impractical also if you have riders but other than that a super cool car n great video dude! Wish it were mine!
This car drives amazing
this guy litterally has my dream job
I really like the red seats!
We Enjoy watching your channel 👌 Great vibes , We definitely support big time 🥂😎

I’m todally getting this car
Thanks for sharing a great video
18:37 dopest moment of this video. Damn this song bangs
What song is it?
I don't know why I'm watching this, I already own a mustang. I guess I just really enjoy your videos :)
i got a question about the mustang bro if you don’t mind
This car is a blast to drive
I love your channel! I wish you could get into a Grand Cherokee 5.7L, preferably the cool-looking High Altitude. :)
Just here for exhaust cravings 😍😍😍😍😍
Manhhh i love this drop head
I used to work at a car wash and i'd have to get inside and clean the inside and when it was super hot and super cold we'd get beat to the gills. The little chime when you turn it on or when you open the door gives me PTSD.... just wanted to share lol
You’re the king of curbing every car your review.
I really like these 5.0s
I just recently bought my very first car and it’s the 2012 Mustang V6 ! I can’t wait to upgrade to a GT in 2 years !!! Mustang will always be my fav car of all time ! #dreamcar
Did you buy it?
Ah ! It’s nice to see a 2020 mustang with a manual transmission!
Theres a class action lawsuit against ford due to this manual transmission. The 10spd auto should be the only one considered until ford gets rid of this sorry excuse for a manual
@@dr._breens_beard why do u hate manuals
@@ggr7296 i hate THIS manual as its as durable as wet tissue paper
@@dr._breens_beard I love how he just assumed you hate manuals because you talked crap on this specific one
@@zachsteele6964 right? God forbid i hate on one thats built like wet tissues 🙄
Hi, love the video! I m going from owning a 2016 mustang v6 3.7L for almost 2 years and i loved it... Do you feel like the 10 speed is a giant difference in power almost like you need to re-learn how to drive because its too fast ??? Please reply, thank you! I subbed.
The antenna at the back make it looks like a remote control car 😂😂
I know the 10 speed is quick, but v8 muscle should be experienced with 3 pedals, imo
I just saw the other day that Ford made their auto more popular because the mt 82 manual sucks so much. I believe the camaro upgraded to a tremec transmission and the dodge uses both a tremec or a zf8. I love the coyote engine but honestly they kinda messed up here.
@@V1ralB1ack yeah watch engineering explaineds video on it, the new manual is actually cringe.
@@zachsteele6964 would u say it’s not worth getting one if ur looking for a manual mustang?
@@asvpalex967 the new manuals? No probably not, the gearing is all messed up and 3rd gear les to blow up, the new camaro and challenger have gr at manuals though.
@@asvpalex967 If you love to drive a manual over an auto then I would recomend getting the manual. Any transmission can fail if you push it hard. Even some 10 speed autos have had failures on the mustang when they were pushed hard. It is part of the pay to play rules. If you feel the transmission bind and not want to go into a gear, don't jam it in anyways, that is how you blow up the gear. Just back out of the throttle and let the RPMs come down while you leave it in neutral untill the load is off the transmission. Once the load is off it will go into the gear smoothly and you won't have bent your forks or grenade the gear. If you plan on tracking the car spend the money on a aftermarket transmission brace and that will keep the trans from binding under high load. If you are still worried about the getrag in the GT buy the Mach 1 it comes with a Tremic transmission. I have a 2019 Bullitt and love driving it. The transmission has not had any problems in the 34 Months of ownership.
Camaro comes with HUD and sunroof but visibility holds me always back; drove a 2014 model and man i felt like hiding in a bunker. These new rounded hoods is not my thing now; i like more the bullish style from MJ 2011-2014. On rain you can see fumes coming out of the vents from the hood ...tht´s soooo coool !!!!
You het alot for your money with the mustang gt almost 500 horsepower amazing!!
21:00 if I would have done that in my VW, I might have spun out lol. Very sensitive wheel and I love it.
Great video man I’m 16 and I would LOVE IT if you did a regular Dodge Challenger RT or RT shaker not the scat pack if you could that would be amazing thank you 🙏🏼🙏🏼
If your looking to buy an RT, DO IT. :) Super fun car and plenty of power.
Perfect car to rent one for the weekend at Avis or Budget 😉
I love how the screen in having just a casual seizure.
This is my dream car. I wish im gonna get one
I want to see that 2020 GT500 🐍
Sounds great, revs high... yet it's fast enough to where you don't get to experience it for long before you're way over any speed limit. That sucks.
I am currently driving my 3rd Mustang GT that I have owned, a 21’ GT PP1 6 speed in Oxford White with that Showstopper red interior. I have also had a Gen 6 Camaro SS and and C6 Z06, an 07’ in Lemans Blue. So I’ve owned a handful of American Modern V8’s. As I said, currently driving my 3rd GT. There is a reason why I keep coming back to it. The Camaro SS was a great car with more torque down low. The Z was an absolute monster with that LS7, 505 HP and only weighed 3100 lbs. a beast! However , for performace and day in day out drive ability with modern tech and convenience. The Stang beats the SS and the Z06. Not to mention, the S550 18’ forward with the Active Exhaust is the best sounding car under $100k that you can buy new today. Name a car that’s sounds better and revs this high for under $100k. You can’t. This is a legendary Mustang…
I just bought a 2020 Mustang GT coup with the manual and the PP1 in Twister orange with the black accent stripe. The MSRP was close to 50K
I need it in my life
Super bro
Definitely wanna learn how to drive manual looks fun
A convertible with exhaust package would be fun.
I was driving a silver 16' Mustang GT at work and hit a hawk at 60 mph, destroyed the grill, and had to pry the bird out.. so that was fun.
I love these but idk if I could own one with a Chinese manual...
Great video, looking to rent one of these on my next post covid holiday to the US, but the rentals all look like auto boxes......
Review: “This thing is fun to drive”/10
This is my dream car
Great review. Feel like I am driving the car with you. I have been flip-flopping between the 2021 Mustang and the Accord 2.0T. The latter makes more economic sense but I am unable to bite the bullet and purchase it since I know I will enjoy the Mustang more. It has been a long battle between my brain and my heart. I just know I will likely regret it if I purchase the Accord, despite all of its positive attributes.
Probably already bought the mustang I hope but just buy what you really want.
which car did you buy?
Man I'm learning all kind of words. 😊
It looks just right ✅ 👌 just wow 👌
