- The Mustang GT has a special package that can be optioned from Ford. The Performance Pack comes with tons of go fast goodies at a great value. On the outside you will notice special 19in wheels, unique trunk lid spoiler and Brembo Brakes. Under the hood is a Coyote 5.0L V8 that churns out 486HP.

With the GT, you need quad tips. No question.
Facts
100%.
No because most will change the exhaust anyway
I agree with u. Quad tips will always look better on most cars
I bought it without cut the valance with a template and installed a quad tip. Literally paid for half my corsa catback lol😅😅
Performance pack does not add the 6hp, the quad active exhaust does. So this car has 480hp
Thanks for the heads up!
Absolutely correct.
From China In China, 5.0 is only a dark horse. 2.3 is the highest configuration. Four exhausts are not optional.
Active exhaust is a must on this car
what does the performance package add?
Times have changed. We can't afford these higher end models. Do the base models for us peasants.
Speak for yourself!
He is
Bro spoke for the peasants, as much as people shit on the ecoboost, I'll be damned if I buy a car before a place to live. Gimme the ecoboost review lol
If people don't start voting American come November we may have to move up to be peasant class.
@@reddog3544 you will be even poorer soon. Everyone but the 1% who controls our lives.
I test drove one and absolutely wish they kept last years hvac and radio real controls instead on the screen touch controls.
Yup!
Same
It was the deal breaker for me After 4 Gt's 3 with the performance pack, wasn't happening with the 99 model I had. I just couldn't get past the dash. Everything else was good I had a 2015 EcoBoost P/P. which was same color combo, and interior. It was different, but it grew on me, to where I would have happy to find another one. I bought a 24 Camaro SS with NPP exhaust, Mag ride, Recaros, Summit white with black leather interior. Only downer was the wheels. Ugly but the ride and sound are just as nice. Also didn't go 6 speed. Hard to find at this point with no production. But the auto works great. Hey, it was almost $9,000 cheaper. New wheels down the road won't be a big deal. If I could make up my mind on a set that fit the car without weird back spacing, and no concentric rings. May go 1LE.
When I was watching I was so jealous of you having so much fun with this amazing American automobile Joe. Thanks for sharing.
You think he is having fun roasting out there in the sun doing reviews on mustangs every other week.
I love all muscles cars. Nothing like a sound of a V8 but the mustang for me always have and always will have a special place in my heart. Thank you again Raiti for another awesome video. Next time I’ll enjoy watching with a twinkle 😁
For a budget, it would definitely be better than the Dark Horse. I personally like the Dark Horse better, but the GT Performance Bronze Package would be the best for a budget Dark Horse!
I think you can get a base dark horse for just a little bit more than a performance pack
there's nothing budget about this car, its 60k+! after tax, and will drop like a rock with depreciation in just a few years...pass.
What about gt premium with performance package and magnaride suspension active valve exhaust and nite pony package?
Yep, I lowered mine with RTR Magneride springs 1.1 inch in the front, .08 inch in the rear and switch out to black lugs. Perfect!
Oh man that is the way to go Stephen. Great job!
Joe the screen is a deal breaker for me. The old interior feels sporty the new should be in a tesla!
those ipad's stuck onto the dash aren't gonna age well...ever seen 5 year old electronics? eww...
Buy an old one then lol
@@BigTimeRushFan2112 I disagree. I have a 2019 Mustang GT Premium with the Performance Pack 1 and it has the digital gauge cluster and it's as clear and sharp as it was when I bought the car new. Granted I only have 8800 miles on it and it stays under my carport, but it is 5 years old. Technology has had a huge improvement in the past 10 years on these screens.
@@Mustgtcs07 my '23 has the analog gauges, they'll still look great in 20 years, guaranteed. PS. I didn't care for the digital clusters in the S550 models either...a Mustang needs a double hump dash (no '24 does) and analog gauges simulating an airplane (tradition for decades) or its not attractive to me. Ford doesn't care about legacy any more, they've been trying to destroy theirs for years now and doing a mighty fine job at it recently with their "re-designs".
@@BigTimeRushFan2112not true
How the Florida Sun shines so brightly on this Mustang with the bronze wheels and I agree it needs quad tip exhaust for it helps accent the exterior. Joe, Steven, and Lori thank you as always!
We love bringing it to you Bryan!
The white is really bright.
Yeah Oxford white is super bright
Joe, I am at the 8 decade mark driving a Charger. That Mustang is really COOL but I don't know if my reflexes are as quick as yours especially when that truck pulled out in front of you. The standard GT might be on my "Bucket" list. As always you do a great review. Not once did you mention the damn Twinkies. Keep up the good work.😎
That is so wonderful to hear my friend.
These Mustangs are growing on me, but I still don't care for the tail panel and I still hate the dash. The bronze package on the white is pretty amazing. I still can't get over the price. I paid under $40k OTD for my 2019 Challenger 392 T/A in late 2019 brand new. Times sure have changed in 5 years.
I've mentioned in your other videos, I'm a GM guy. One CTS-V, two C4 Corvettes (one being a ZR-1) and currently a C7 Z06. However, in 1988 I bought a new Mustang GT. I loved the performance and the exhaust note. I know 36 years later there is no comparison, but it was an awesome Mustang back in the day. Thanks for the video Joe!
That is so fantastic to think about the Good Old Days! You have a great car collection terry!
@@RaitisRides Thank you Joe!
Very happy that Ford has the good sense to keep the real deal with Mustang, instead of jumping off the EV cliff.
They did jump off an EV cliff with the Mustang. Sort of.
They did a swan drive off the cliff with the Lightning. Now there trying to surface for air.
And the ‘24 Stangs is not selling.
Why buy a ‘24 when you get the same in the S550? Not worth the upgrade.
S550 looks better. They need to fully redesign the Mustang , make it smaller too.
Not only is the performance exhaust louder but it sounds better too. It’s tighter and more focused. The non Active Exhaust is way raspier. The Active Exhaust is louder yes, but more importantly, it’s much more refined and tight. I had a 19’ GT PP2 with AE and a 21’ GT PP1 premium 401A without AE and the non AE is just not as refined. The Active Exhaust is mandate. An absolute must…
Ur show on the weekend is amazing. Just let it run.
On the lug nuts. I would want them painted to match the wheels, that way the center cap is the only black focal point. Great video
I like the way that you think Charlie!
I can’t believe they don’t put a quad tip exhaust with the performance pack
Unfortunately the performance exhaust has always been a separate package.
😭😭
Hello Joe, this Ford Mustang Is the Apostle to the Performance Cars.
Heck yeah Luis!
First off just have to say love your videos! Bought my 2019 GT PP1 brand new in velocity blue… your right about the little touches… had ford paint my mirrors gloss black & spoiler gloss black also had them color match my deck lid in velocity blue! Did blue lug nuts they compliment the PP1 gloss black wheels well. Did lowering springs kooks long tubes bigger throttle body cold air intake retune. She’s at 462 H.P. to the rear wheels & rips! Bunch of other cosmetics to much to list she’s never been in the rain not once! Just my summer cruiser/car shows just hit 10k miles absolutely love it & will take it to my grave!!!! The new ones are starting to grow on me… 🤷🏼♂️ again love your content keep up the good work! 👍🏼
Love the design and bronze wheels with the black and Oxford White!!!
Same. I'd like those for my 2015 GT Performance pack car.
I've never liked white, but you're right, it looks so good with the bronze wheels.
Heckle and Jeckle? Love it! Car is a great daily with performance but yes it needs quad tips. Excellent offering Team!
I got a MT murdered out GT Premium performance pack ,active exhaust, 401a, night pony with mag ride and I love it. Fully loaded and a whipple away from fast af.
I agree with you Joe. The black roof and black lug nuts would look nice!
The bronze with the Oxford white looks so nice
Agree on the quad tips. And Magneride...man, I can't go back. Last 2 Mustangs I've owned have it, and it's an absolute game changer. Well worth the extra cost.
Your Mustang vids always bring a smile to my face. It is my dream to one day own one. Thanks, Joe.
Great job,YOU have me considering THIS model,great job my friend
That is so awesome to hear Frank!
The Nite Pony Package on the Oxford white is the way to go. You are correct, it breaks it up really nicely. I have the 2024 GT pp w/Nite Pony - it looks fantastic - Oh and quad tips is the way to go and once you get used to the screens, they really aren't as bad as people think
Love that color combo of white with bronze wheels. Instead of the painted room, get it covered with Gloss Black PPF. Much more durable on the front edge of the roof above the windshield that paint. I've done both! My 2019 GTCS has the Gloss Black PPF and it looks as good as paint!
thanks for the review, Joe! I actually got this exact same setup last week from my local dealer except in rapid red. It's been great! I've never had the magneride before, but it does feel smoother than my previous mustangs. Sure, would have been nice to have the active exhaust, but this one has a fine growl as it is. Happy with my purchase!
Yes to the black lug nuts. That would make them disappear showing off that nice bronze color! Black roof would make this a BANGER in the looks department .
Is the MT82 still garbage, needing a MGW shifter, aftermarket clutch spring, and different trans fluid out the factory just to be somewhat decent?
Spec'ed mine out and did NOT get the performance pack but DID get the active exhaust with the quad tips. Very happy with that decision.
I admire your passions and living your dreams! As someone once said
You will NEVER see a U Haul behind a Hearse. You can't take it with you. The Egyptians tried it and they ended up getting robbed.
I thought the non active exhaust mustang only has 480 hp not the 486 HP you reported on this video
You are correct
Another great review, thanks Joe! I love everything about the S650, but the dash does bother me. I really wish they'd integrated the screens in to the dash, kept physical buttons for the HVAC and stereo and kept the dual brow. If there's to be an S650 facelift, I really hope they address that, but I fear we'll be stuck with that dash for the lifetime of S650. However, I am VERY grateful that we still have a Mustang to buy for another generation.
This car is $66,000 OTD IF the dealer doesn't add on anything else
Price a Dark Horse and get back to me
It crazy that even base model is going for 50k otd. Even if you negotiate msrp otd for a base model 44k+ is crazy
@@RaitisRidesabout what, that they're both overpriced?
Price of all new cars skyrocketed a couple years ago. This mustang though is the best horsepower per dollar you're going to get compared to its 2023-2024 competitors AND better technology. Also you could put a $9k whipple supercharger on a base GT for $50k and you get a 800HP car for less than $60k.
For the options I would want on a GT Premium, I could almost get a Dark Horse 🤔
❤ Thank you Joe and Steven! ❤
My GT Performance Pack is also Oxford White. I had the mirror caps and spoiler painted gloss black and it was enough to break up the white and give it a more aggressive look. Roof is an option as well but I didn’t want to overdo it.
Love your videos love the ford mustang
Thanks Nick I really appreciate that so much!
Yeah of course Joe & one day, I buy this car.
I can see you in this one
Joe "prancing hoarse" is Ferrari, Mustang is "galloping pony" love the car love your channel keep up the good work 🙂👍
I got that same car with the Nite-Pony package and the Black roof, looks beautiful.
Small touches should include bronze interior badging like the wheel pony and mustang on the dash and the paddle shifters.
I noticed trunk missing alignment with right side fender 😂
I really enjoy watching your videos. I told my wife you can make a fish purchase water😆 keep up the good work more exotics, please after watching one of your videos I purchased a 992 with a PDK THERE IS NO WAY I CAN GO BACK😁👍👍👍
Hey Patrick! That really means the world. Congrats on your Porsche! Stay tuned for more!
Nice review. I think you might be mistaken about the bigger radiator in the performance pack for 2024. When I look at Ford's description of the performance pack in the build options, larger radiator isn't mentioned. I know it was bigger for the previous gen PP.
I was sold on the GT w/Performance. Was ready to fly from Colorado to Baltimore to pick one up. Dealership in Baltimore wouldn’t let the car sit until I could get there. Went to the grocery store on a Saturday and came home with a DH that had been on the lot for 143 days. I appreciate having the DH but the GT would’ve been good.
I just love how ford went the 6th gen camaro route with multiple things on this vehicle, its like a camaro and mustang combined. Thank you Ford !!!😊
It is great that they kept the muscle in the muscle car!
Hey Joe top review as usual. Don’t hear you talk much about Lori these days-I hope she is well. Actually I might give her a call early next week and catch up for a coffee.
It’s 486 HP with the active exhaust Joe,480 HP w/o active exhaust!
Looks nice Joe.
I’m glad that you are digging this one Manuel
Easy fix! Permanent marker on the lugs! 😆 easy swap after market !
5.0 in Ox White over Showstopper Red. Still one of the best looking cars on the road today…
I love my 24 gt . The dark horse I drove was actually way better in every way . The GT is still a beast and with some getting use too , you can drive this machine through the canons or curves like a peace of cake . Def recommend active exhaust , it’s what adds the personality to the GT.
@Daniel_5.0 did you get the auto or manual?
@@crazymonkey60123 I got the auto since I was planning to get the whipple kit but after getting the car and driving it more aggressive around corners . I regret not getting the Manual , Id say 10 speed is better if your a big fan of straight line speed , manual if you want to make it a grip demon , longer gear ratios so you’re constantly on 2/3 yk .
Sweet rim and tire package. Looks very nice with the white exterior. The Mustang is still one of the baddest cars on the road.
You better believe it!
a question for Raiti , if you had a choice to get a used 2019 green Bullitt or a used 2023 Mach 1(manual) , which 1 would you get ?
Love the bronze accents! What’s a beautiful Mustang. I could never get myself to spend that much on one though. For that money I need something with more utility.
Another knock out video!!! You are the gold standard!!
I freaking love this Mustang GT.
Yelp black lugs absolutely 💯 agree 👍
Joe, what do you think of the 2024 Shelby Super Snake?
I am in love with it!
Yessir I gad the 97, big body 5.0 GT. Dual's, power 17 inch wide tires.in love.
The 2024 Mustang GT Premium Performance Package Is Absolutely Awesome!!! 2018 Through 2023 Mustang GT Premium Performance Package 📦 Is Absolutely Awesome As Well!!! Yeah Quad Exhaust Tips Are Absolutely Awesome On Any Mustang GT Premium Performance Package!!! Joe Raiti & Raiti Rides!!! Joe Does Amazing Job On His Rides Every Week!!! Pretty AWESOME & Joe Raiti & Raiti Rides!!!
Amazing review Joe.
Great review, Joe! I love how you get so much pleasure out of driving these Mustangs and bringing them to us at home. Well, that is until that jacka$$ pulled out in front or you! Keep em coming, brother!
Dang, Joe! You’re a good driver, my friend! …Meanwhile I drive a 2021 GT base. It cost me 33K! I guess those days are over!
Joe and Lori and Steve keep up the good work real true and I love the video 👍
Shadow black performance pack magna-ride valved exhaust 401A premium and still 30 K less than an M4 and it's a blast to drive. 60 K is still a lot for a car but you only live once and you can't take it with you.
Both the Dark Horse and the GT have only 1 functional vents on the driver side only. Both cars have a plastic cover blocking the vent on the passenger side. Not sure why. I own the black version of the car above without the bronze package. My friend owns a black Dark Horse. We both noticed the vent issue. Seems illogical to us but it is what it is.
That looks sweet the gold wheels are awesome!
Ford really hit it out of the park with this generation. It really is a great car.
Thanks for taking the time to comment Trevor.
Joe, this or a mach 1? After trying to locate a perf pack, I bought a leftover 22 mach 1 brand new and couldn't be happier. Your reviews of the mach 1 led me to that! N5879 10 speed auto dark matter gray checking in!
I wish that they made the heat extractor the same color as the car body. The bronze wheels aren't the greatest, but they're okay. I would like quad tips, too.
beautiful sound
Music to my ears!
@@RaitisRides Formula 1 used to have sound magic, but the sound of this mustang does a little magic
Gotta have active exhaust with quad tips. Myself, the first modification I would do is purchase a Corsa extreme cat back exhaust system. To me that’s a must!
Looks like the one I have. Performance pack, bronze pack, active exhaust, magnaride.
You did it right!
That was a good video, Joe. Happy Memorial Day to you and your family.
Awesome machine. Great review, Joe! When do you think you will do a review on the 2024 Ranger Raptor 3.0 turbo v6?
Love your car video
I really appreciate your support!
Great vid man nailed it again 12:22 ugh why ford it should be a
8 speed its better then the 10 the 8 is lighter and more reliable.
Does the 2024 mustang gt feel faster to you compared to the s550 gt ?
The back looks like the 05 , melted ❤❤❤❤
The new GT Mustang looks good and works well. Even though this is a 2024 you can call it a 2024 1/2 next month.
What a car for the price, nothing beats it for the price not even close!
Me I would have the black roof, I would have black wheels and the spoiler black. And yes the quad exhaust.
Add the black lug nuts too
I love the wheels on that bronze package.
I liked all your comments and additions that they should have made to the vehicle and I think you should add that they should have put a little of that bronze here and there on the inside.
Thanks for letting me share it with you Jerry!
Only reason I can see not ordering the performance exhaust is if you’re gonna go for an after market exhaust. So hopefully that’s what it is
This is so very true
When you personally ‘hear’ a GT or Dark Horse drive by you on the road, it is ok to feel a bit jealous.
I'd rather have full length, bronze stripes, than painted roof. Some profile, GT/Pony decals (nothin crazy), also.
Shadow Black and Racer Red look great, with the bronze package.
Hi rati, Luke your vids. Very informative, thanks brotha
i love your videos man. Keep up the good work ❤
Still don't get why fake vents? What's the purpose? Making it look cheaper?
You wouldn't have known unless it was mentioned in this review. I'm doubting if you've even set in an S650 or test driven an S650 GT or Dark Horse. If you don't like a V8 engine, i hear there some great deals on EVs
@@DWH300 Your comment didn't answer the question. Why the have fake vents? The car is awesome otherwise.
@@LeadfootLou The lower grill insert has an open functional side on the performance pack S650 Mustangs GT to funnel air to the front brakes. The other half is simply part of the lower grill. It's nearly impossible to tell that it's functional and the video description was a little misleading. The performance pack Mustangs are open to help cool the brakes. If you put the S650 performance pack on a lift and shine a flashlight through the brake cooler tunnel. You'll see the grill is open and functional to the front brakes. I recommend taking an actual look and test drive of a Track pack S650 Mustang GT. It's a better experience seeing the new S650 Mustang in person than on a video
I gotta know if the dark red color looks good with the bronze package. I won't buy a car without color.
There is more to the DH than just the GT PP. For starters, various internal engine components in the DH Coyote are forged, which means they'll handle FI better than the GT Coyote. Also, the manual transmission in the GT is a MT82 Getrag (built in China), while the DH has the Tremec TR 3160 (built in Michigan) - the latter being a far better transmission.
I have a fully loaded 2019 mustang gt premium, i been trying to race a s650 gt to see if its really quicker or faster
There are so many variable to that race.
