@Martin A combination of electronic sensors, how you are accelerating, steering, braking it all gets computer prossess to connect with trans. I'm not impressed with the sound of this car , but I'm sure it is a blast to drive. My 69 fastback was a very nice handling Car , just a 302 cui. Style, performance, Economy, Ford and Iacoca found the Iconic American sports car and its also Cool. Except if your a very big person.
Okay. So I’m not a Mustang fan, and this is one big commercial. However, Jim Owens just sold quite a few Mustangs. Ford, give this man a huge raise. He is affable, knowledgeable, and forthright. It was a pleasure to watch and listen to his vast knowledge of the automotive world, especially the Ford stuff. He lets Jay interrupt him, and he’s a real car guy. The car is outstanding, I hope it sells well. Congratulations.
The Mustang is now the best selling sports car in the world since 2017 and this includes Germany. Ford really brought this car on the world stage and the Corvette will also be making it's presence known especially with the new 670HP naturally aspirated V8.
I've had my Mach 1 for 7 days now, i love it way more than i thought i would. Touring it around outback New South Wales, it is amazing how good an all round tourer it is.
I love that he doesn't know about the number of airbags, like a marketing person would. He knows all about the performance, history, and local tracks. Seems like a cool guy.
Right. anyone can recite the spec sheet, but Jim adds that Human element that helps accentuate the facts buyers would want to hear about a Mustang. it looks like a real car and not some egg looking thing everyone else drives now. at least with this you don't look like you're borrowing your sisters car.. unless the girl is straight badass ;-) then maybe..
The problem with that is that in most cases customers get very angry when a representative from any branch, be it engineering or marketing, doesn’t know every little detail of the car. People are very demanding in general. I wish I had the luxury of just telling a customer I don’t know.
Yes he’s really enthusiastic 🤩 and proud 🥲 of his products. Unlike other “DULL”representatives that just show up and answer yes or no to Jays questions.
Out of all the celebrities with their money, Jay Leno truly has done life right. Worked his butt off at a young age and is blessed and able to do everything he loves because of it. Has met and become friends with thousands of celebs and the top dogs of auto world. Made millions then decided to do what he loves and has a passion for, for the rest of his life. Amazing
@@fordnut4914 every profession has their own set of difficulties. no challenge in life has to be pure physical. We don't know what he completely went through and it be advised to stop assuming too.
This is the kind of automotive marketing guy people in the industry should aspire to be like. A true enthusiast who is knowledgeable about the items the intended market actually cares about.
Totally agree. He’s an enthusiast who is proud of his product line, but respects all the competition. I’d love to shoot the sh*T with him at a car show.
He worked in the Hollywood Hosting Industry for 4 decades... Ofcourse he would be great at these kinds of talking... He even talked out NBC to replace someone we know😃
Jim Owen's vast knowledge and enthusiasm worked so well with Jays style. Both were in that comfortable familiar space of car jargon, that made us laugh then scratch our heads . Thank you.
Absolutely gorgeous. THIS is a Mustang. The sort of car you had on your wall as a poster growing up. Or the cherished toy car you were given on a birthday. Something to aspire to and dream about. Something to make you push on when times aren't great. Well done Ford. Keep it up
Sorry but when tech is moving forward nostalgic cars that are among all things a coupe 2+2 and is also modern yet having manual controls like : manual gearbox, manual handbrake, manual door windows for lighting purpose and lots of carbon fiber body-parts (roof, hood, trunk-lid, carbon ceramic brakes..) for same purpose, is way much more impressive, a good example of such car is :Porsche 911-R.. to me that is something to aspire or dream about, otherwise if more electric things on the car are a must then the latest full electric Taycan Cross-Turismo is a very capable full electric car that can handle not just tracks & highways but also most of rough gravel-dirt terrains !
Except that the Ford dude thinks you don’t need heel and toe because of the transmission but DOH! he’s a poser cuz he doesn’t realize heel and toe sets the car using throttle and brakes. No transmission can drive like that!
@@dougg1075 Whatever keyboard warriors, this man is as much of a success story in development as the Mustang. He's been in key positions for at least 16 years, per the video and has all the attributes that an automotive company, particularly focused on performance would want. Three equal parts of Knowledge, Enthusiasm, Relatability and the man has them is spades. He's got my hero job and you can't help but like the guy. Is he perfect? No, he'd probably tell you himself. And that in itself is very Mustang. This guy puts the "genuine" in genuine Ford parts!
Jim and Jay are birds of a feather, deeply knowledgable car guys who love their machines. The engine/exhaust noise on this thing is glorious! And it's gorgeous-looking.
@@badbonzai1 no he pretty much said the truth if he did say something wrong what was it I'd like to know. As for charisma he seems fun and really interested in the car and it's creation sure he didn't know everything but neither could i
Leno is showing his age. Enjoy him now, he is a national treasure. I got to interview him back in the 80s at Western Michigan University. He signed a bag of salsa doritos for me then opened it for people to eat them. Lol. I still got the bag.
I liked the rep. When he didn't know something, he just said so. He didn't make-up some sales story. Honesty goes a long way when representing your brand. I also like the fact that he stopped talking to listen and learn something from Jay while talking about where the horse came from. I am not a Mustang fan but, listening to the rep, it made me more open to learn about it. I wished we had this rep when they featured the Mach-E. The rep back then was using a lot of pre-written buzz words and I still don't understand why that Mustang electric SUV exist under that name.
The mach-e. Smh. That abomination hurts my soul as a car guy. Im a chevy guy all the way but when i saw they put the mustang name on a friggin hatchback i almost vomitted.
This Mustang is awesome. The Ford Rep answered all of Jay's questions, and is a real "car guy." Remember the guy from GM and the new Military vehicle Jay checked out a couple weeks back? What a complete tool. Phony, slick talker, avoided answering Jay's questions! This gentleman from ford is just a down to earth, nice, knowledgeable, and honest guy. Thanks!
I remember that dude. I think he was picked from a high volume used car lot. A total embarrassed for GM. He must had had something on his leadership bosses at GM to get the gig.
@@sidhawkwind8179 Jay does a decent job of comparing it to other brands without the obvious slap in the face pros/cons. If videos like this are a part of tge budget to support a mildly restored daily driver with an in depth history with how it relates to all cars, I'm for it. Also, Jay loves all cars, and you cant ignore how amazing new cars are if you really appreciate the classics.
@@qlr949 let's face the facts here... episodes like this are car commercials...nothing.more nothing less...BTW new cars are not classics...Old cars are classics!!!...Also just because you stick a classic old logo on it also doesn't make it a classic...They could of put a pony logo on a car that looks nothing like the original also doesn't make it that car
“Ford engineers want to make the best sports car they can, the GM guys wanna make the Camaro they can, the Dodge guys, you know, they wanna go as fast as they can in a straight line” 🤣 takin’ shots!
Picked up my Oxford White 10 speed auto here in Australia two weeks ago and loving every minute I get to drive it. The 10 speed cries out to be given the boot and when you do, that thuggish exhaust sound is incredible. Great review by Jay and loved Jim Owens’ passion for the Mustang.
@@marvindebot3264 ha ha. We are not either dude. Media is lying. Basically anyone who died in the hospital, no matter what they died if, if they tested positive for the virus post mortem, they were added to the number of people who did. So it’s all a scam to make the insurance companies and drug companies tens of billions.
My first car at 16 was a 1971 Buick GS 455 convertible. I'm now 58 n with COVID taking all of my savings n finding a decent job difficult to say the least I doubt I'll get a good fun V8 American muscle car again. But I just have incredibly great memories of that car that I'll have forever. Out of all the cars I've had, including vettes n a detomaso Pantera, my Buick was by far my Favorite car ever. If or when I win the lottery I know who has my Buick n I'll buy it back no matter how much he wants for it. Cars have been such a big part of my life. Great job Jay! Keep up the awesome videos!!
Love that these segments are getting longer and that jay and the engineer are not rushed to talk about the vehicle! Hope Jay reviews the ford maverick truck soon!
Nifty car and great hearing from FORD directly. My husband still loves his 2015 Mustang and being a Anglican (Episcopal) clergyman he can't afford this one as much as he has loved learning about it. For my husband the great thing about Mustangs is that you can always find the parts you need. Cheers to all.
I have a 2015 V6. I get a smile on my face every time I walk towards it to get in and drive it. Bought it used for $15k. What a bargain! A very serious sports car, with good acceleration, and great handling
Two car guys geeking out in a new Mach 1. Now that is a video i do not mind watching a few times more! Great episode Jay, and Jim is fantastic guest with all his knowledge.
After the car malaise of the 1970's through the 1980's, remember the 1977 Cadillac 180 HP, 7 litter V8, I never expected to see a Golden age of the US automobile. The 2021 Ford Mustang and the 2022 Corvette Z06 are amazing cars.
@@fgb3126 It’s coming. They’ll probably use corporate averages. Without the charger stations, it’s hard for you to travel. Tesla guides it’s buyers from charger to charger. I live in Cali. There’s nowhere near the amount of needed power. We can’t even keep the power on for a hot day. And they are turning off the last nuclear plant which powers one tenth of the state. It’s like being governed by 13 year olds.
I like cars because they look cool, go fast, stop quicker, and go around corners like all get out. Internal combustion engines and fossil fuels are not necessary for that.....
@@randolphmyers They will be required for at least 20 to 30 years. People under estimate the amount for power required just for the morning drive. Cali doesn’t have enough power for hot days. And they plan on shutting down the last nuclear plant which powers ten percent of the state. The second problem is where to get the material for the batteries. If we stopped all internal combustion engines, we’d turn the world into a strip mine. Not to mention the child labor involved with this. I put solar on my house and have a Volt, but know the trade offs with this technology.
My 1st car was a 1964.5 Mustang my Grandma bought brand new. She came to live with us in 1968. My Mom drove the car a bit but didn’t like no power steering or power breaks. I however loved it. That was before the 289 CID V8. Mine had a 260 CID and a trans that could start out in 2nd gear from a dead stop to improve starting up in snow and or rain. It was really cool 1st car. Lost my virginity in that car. Oh those were the days!!!😉🥰
This is a gorgeous looking little pony. When I was 22 I felt forced to sell my 66 GT350 Hertz replica do to my Wife being pregnant from my first Daughter. I would give anything to get that car back. Nothing makes me feel so awesome like watching Jay showing these beautiful cars. Keep up the great work Jay…
Without a doubt one of the best episodes to date. I’ve met Jim Owens a few times at Carlisle, Team Shelby Northeast Region dinners. He’s very knowledgeable and he’s got a ton of great stories from all his years at Ford. Jay, I’m a Boston boy like you and I’m guessing a night out with you and Jim would be one for the ages. Great video.. thank you both !
i'm pretty sure a guy can meet another guy only once- unless they both have dementia. leno is a very busy guy- i doubt if he reads YT comments- RIGHT JAY??
You cannot ignore how the guy from Ford knows his stuff. He isn’t just a carsales person but he is a proper car guy. He gets it. If they had more people like him they would probably be the best car manufacturer/seller in the world.
Back in 1988 I remember seeing a brand new black mustang gt on the streets of NYC, I think in lower manhattan, with a guy in white shirt and tie, probably heading home. That was the last time I’ve ever seen a new v8 mustang Gt or similar in the city. This version is just too nice to commute in.
I have been watching these Jay Lenos Garage videos like from 2014. Videos are so enjoyable and informative. It's nice to have these straight forward videos about vehicles and no nonsense fuzz around them, loving the concept. True Car guys concept. And yeah, these videos will be part of history as well. Very informative.
Jay Leno, a national treasure for all us "gearheads". The man knows everything about cars, thanks Jay and hello from Rhode Island. See you at the Newport car show soon.
@@robertmcmanus636 maybe... Maybe not... Either way, EV tech is getting to the point where they simply make more sense than ICE vehicles for most applications. So I think, even if we took the environmental factor out (and the relative environmental impact is very debatable), we've all but reached the end of the line of what's possible and practical for fossil fuel cars. That said, I think EVs will actually make the problems we face much, much worse in the long term... Because I'm far from convinced that greenhouse gas emissions are the biggest environmental risk factor. But that's a whole other conversation.
There is still LOTS of tech in the world of ICE. It's not all petrol and diesel. New engines are even now being invented. The issue is still the same as it was in 1910 however; Energy Density. Gasoline carries nearly 50x the energy per kilo as our best batteries. Until we solve that, and toxic lithium-based production, electric will always be aspirational.
It was easily the funniest thing I’ve seen on his channel. It was so awkward when the rep squatted down like that, I was wondering how Jay was going to react. At first it seemed Jay was just going to let it go but then the “please don’t ever do that again” was hilarious. Sometimes I can honestly forget that Jay is a standup comedian since these days I just watch him for cars.
I really like the guy from Ford. It´s too rare someone has his heart and passion still intact and displaying it. It takes balls for that nowadays. Not speaking carwise, just broadly... I´m not really sure but I think Jay maybe sometimes (not too much this time) is a little bit in his ego, not wanting to let the guest take too much place and subconciously want have the whole command when not necessary, but I forgive him because of the good hearted guy he seems to be. Maybe though he should start to care even about the guys on the other side.
I am a proud owner of a 2023 Mach 1 in shadow black, with elite package, red painted calipers and handling package and 6MT Tremec. It's the best car I have ever owned. What an absolute beast.
My first Mustang, is 2015 S550 V6 Ingot Silver. It's my daily drive all year around car. Here in Canada we get -40c . I love this Mach 1 in this color. Thank you Jay for sharing this video. I hope someday I can afford this Mach 1.❤❤❤
Always liked my performance cars with a manual. Always thought that nothing beats banging gears in an American muscle car especially a Mustang. Recently had a chance to drive a new Mustang GT with the 10 spd auto and was very impressed! Maybe it’s me getting older and lazier but when you hammer it, it just stays in the fat part of the power band and is a freaking blast! Next (newer-ish) car will be a low mile GT with direct injection and a 10spd for sure! Only thing that sucks is you know it’s going to be $$$ if you break it. A lot cheaper and easier to replace a smoked clutch than a complicated computer controlled auto.
yeah because they needed those engines for all the warranties due on those engines and they can't meet emissions for 2021 that the only reason they didn't put it in this car it cost the same to manufacture
Phil Clark designed the original mustang horse icon. Charles Keresztes designed the mustang II logo (not the 74 mustang 2, but the 63 concept) which became the iconic mustang horse. His profile mentions the Olympics when he was 17, however, as he was borne in 1925 that would at 17 be 1942 which did not have an Olympics due to WW2. It does mention he was in the Hungarian cavalry during WW2.
The sound of that exhaust!! Pure Heaven!!!! Need to buy one right away one of that last of a dying breed. Before all the electric cars maybe faster but no passion and glorious noises like a V-8!!
This sounds nice! I agree. Also sounds like it has a resonator like my 2015 GT premium (for the lower legal china and europe decibel levels) take that out (weld an X or H pipe in place of) and it sounds much more down to earth. $120 dollar job so no biggie but was well worth it for me after giving it a few hundred miles for everything to settle in. Should come stock w/o in USA.
Jim really got down on all fours to get his point across about the muscle sculpted in the horse. Gotta love him hah. edit: feelsbadman when Jim compares the displacement of the Supercharger on the GT500's to the displacement of the 05-10 Mustang motors (I own a '06) hahaha.
We're America, we forgive and forget... Who else remembers when that was true? We used to be the land of second chances, so sad what's going on. I have a 65 fastback but this generation body design is awesome, love seeing it on the street.
@@smcic how good we still have it. Some who want this country to be different should go to those countries they think are so great and try it out for awhile. Does this country need to get better, yes but a 180 is not the way to go.
bdyt, I hear ya! Loved Classic American muscle cars my whole life. Owned, worked on and restored Mopars GMs and Fords. Got away from that brand loyalty crap years ago as they all have their strengths and weaknesses. Never thought I’d see them come back like they did after living through the dark years of the late 70s and early 80s especially. Fun seeing them slowly fight their way back and then in some ways surpass the original muscle car years. 30 yrs ago would you ever think the big 3 would have the Mustang, Camaro and Challenger with high hp V8s being marketed against each other? Only thing that’s a bummer is Pontiac, Olds, Mercury and Plymouth couldn’t survive long enough to compete because people need their Honda’s Kias and Saturns.
Gotta laugh when people are commenting on here and they haven't even bothered to actually watch the thing yet. I guess being "first" is a big deal for them. Good job, Jay.
Big corvette guy here but after watching this review... I must say Ford is on a different level that what I thought. Will be giving Mustang a serious look going forward. Thank you Jay for the all the fun and informative videos you make :)
Looking back now. C8 is where they lost me on Corvette. C7 was still tolerable but C6 was the peak for me. I mean what I like. As for Mustang this is it. You can't even tune the new one and does not look as good as this Mach one.
During the extra long talk and drive segment the video would show the brake lights coming on for a slow down at a curve, but the audio would have us hearing the car accelerate. It almost reminds me of the chase scene in “Bullitt” when the audio didn’t always match up with the video.
I bought one of these and I love it. I'm so happy that Jay is reviewing it. I'm so excited to be going to the Ford Performance Racing School for the Mach 1 Track Attack. Update - Went to Ford Performance Racing School and it was such a blast! I still remember when they started mine, to drive it out of the showroom...WOW! So excited to have Jay's seal of approval!
I know the feeling about them starting it up in the showroom! I saw Jesus’s face, a unicorn, and the clock on the wall quit working…..lol, at least that’s what I tell everyone.
Jim Owen knows everything, every accurate Corporate ,word, term and phrase, just oozes out of his words.He is so inline with everything Corporate, it's amazing to listen to him spew forth Corporate Product Terminology . He obviously has spent his life in Corporate Automotive Culture. Nice very heavy car.
Excellent video. Sweet car. Unlike the GM guy in the military vehicle video, Jim is a true car guy, he really knows his stuff, and gives you the real deal / not marketing BS. Perfect match for Jay, you can tell both enjoyed making the video.
Hilarious dig at Dodge right off the bat. “Mustang wants the build the best, the Camaro guys want to be the best, Dodge wants to be the fastest in a straight line.” LOL!
It's not really a dig that's exactly what Dodge is building currently. Big comfortable cars with a lot of power of course they can't take corners well.
I had a Mustang ecoboost and I gave that car to my son while I bought a Camaro SS. When driving on the open roads and tracks the Camaro will beat that Mustang any day, however I have to admit that when driving on the twisty side mountain roads of Southern California the ecoboost is so much more fun to drive.
That’s more a problem with the Camaro. It’s a sedan chassis with a sports car body laid over it. They’re very pretty, and have good performance. But, are also big and heavy so aren’t going to be as nimble and the same fun as a smaller lighter car. While they’ve gotten bigger and heavier the mustangs have still stayed more of a sports car.
0:24 I loved how half the time (during the demo drive) when "Jim Owens" would start to say something, Jay would put his foot in it and drown him out. Like here when Jim said, "Nobody wants to be the first... Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!" Perhaps Jay just wanted to stop hearing Jim say Gen3, Gen4, etc.😅 😂 🤣
One of the great and most underrated things about this Mach1, with the Handling package, is the stance created by the wheel and tire package: The perfect offset of the wheels with nice concavity, along with the beefy steam-roller tires... Most don't even point this out, but it goes a LONG way to the overall look.
Im a Camaro guy. I’m in my 4th camaro (1995 base V6, 2014 LT1/RS V6, 2019 2SS & now 2011 2SS/RS). Now THIS is a Mustang I’ll love to own tbh. It’s a beautiful color combination and those WHEELS!!! Freaking Beautiful! And With Michelin Cup Tires. Yeah this is a Muscle car for sure. Gotta love the rivalry between the two
It's nice to see (and hear) the latest Mustang Mach1. I miss seeing regular sports/performance cars featured regularly. They are no less fun to drive than before, but they don't get the press attention that they deserve.
This may be a Mustang, and bring back memories of the 60’s and early 70’s, but this is still an expensive car for your average 8 to 4:30 crowd. Gone are the days when your brother working at the gas station could buy a Mach1 or a Swinger 340. Oh well, that’s how it goes now. Sometimes I feel like the only thing that hasn’t changed is me!
@@paulm6481 hell, you can get an ecoboost for less that 30k and that'll still trounce most of the old classics. The cost of living is absurdly high though, so even that isn't so attainable any more.
I can only hope Jay sees this but he probably won't. It's so amazing that he remembers the Hungarian Calvary master that designed the running horse, Charles Keresztes, my grandfather. If he does see this, let me just say thank you for keeping his memory alive. I still have a clipping of an old Detroit news or free press article where Jay also mentions Charles. Thanks again Jay for keeping his memory alive outside our family, it means the world. Pretty sure my mom has one of the first castings of the horse still as well.
I've never been a mustang fan, but I have to admit that they're getting better. Truthfully, I don't really like any new car besides the corvette. And I really wish it had less electronics. I'm only 43, but I much prefer older cars. I think the 60s through the 80s are my favorites.
Informative about the Mustang; thank you for sharing it with us. That being said, I think this Mustang would have made Ken Miles proud if he were alive today. I am a GM guy (mostly Cadillac) but it seems to me that this car has that bit of what makes a guy such as myself a bit envious. The color combination, the look, and all the rest seem to be a perfect match. Great job, Ford.
Jay’s service to the auto enthusiasts deserves a Knighthood. Sir Jay sounds like a great idea for what he does. All USA has to do is re-join the Commonwealth and rename July 4th to “Commonwealth Day”, and Knighthoods will be available to all subjects.
This Ford guy seems great. He answers questions straight on without fluff. And he knows the product.
A really knowledgeable enthusiast. Sets the bar for future guests IMO
It’s really cool. Seems like a real petrol head in his younger days and got his dream job.
And what i like is he says" Im not exactly sure" instead of some contrived answer. Really cool guy

Ford treats Jay like royalty. Good for him and good for them. Their man was sharp and so is the car.

The number may vary with the interior or model package.
The problem with that is that in most cases customers get very angry when a representative from any branch, be it engineering or marketing, doesn’t know every little detail of the car. People are very demanding in general.

@@herrunsinn774 I'm honoured. Thanks for that!
riced out mustang. garbage styling
Sorry but when tech is moving forward nostalgic cars that are among all things a coupe 2+2 and is also modern yet having manual controls like : manual gearbox, manual handbrake, manual door windows for lighting purpose and lots of carbon fiber body-parts (roof, hood, trunk-lid, carbon ceramic brakes..) for same purpose, is way much more impressive, a good example of such car is :Porsche 911-R.. to me that is something to aspire or dream about, otherwise if more electric things on the car are a must then the latest full electric Taycan Cross-Turismo is a very capable full electric car that can handle not just tracks & highways but also most of rough gravel-dirt terrains !
@@poplaurentiu4148 manual windows?? Nah, add the 5 pounds please lol

Right... and what was the milage again?
@@LeesChannel Jay was mean even asking, it's not why you buy a performance Mustang and he did freely admit that the manual is a tier one.
Except that the Ford dude thinks you don’t need heel and toe because of the transmission but DOH! he’s a poser cuz he doesn’t realize heel and toe sets the car using throttle and brakes. No transmission can drive like that!

@@dougg1075 Whatever keyboard warriors, this man is as much of a success story in development as the Mustang. He's been in key positions for at least 16 years, per the video and has all the attributes that an automotive company, particularly focused on performance would want. Three equal parts of Knowledge, Enthusiasm, Relatability and the man has them is spades. He's got my hero job and you can't help but like the guy. Is he perfect? No, he'd probably tell you himself. And that in itself is very Mustang. This guy puts the "genuine" in genuine Ford parts!
True car guy, knows everything about the car and then some. “How many airbags does it have?” “I don’t know”. Respect earned…
Jim and Jay are birds of a feather, deeply knowledgable car guys who love their machines.
The engine/exhaust noise on this thing is glorious! And it's gorgeous-looking.

he knew little about the 10 speed auto and a bunch of other stuff.

@@Dragonlord826 I saw no charisma at all, only boring facts that often weren't true.

I got to interview him back in the 80s at Western Michigan University. He signed a bag of salsa doritos for me then opened it for people to eat them. Lol. I still got the bag.
Leno will be fine and is doing well.
I liked the rep. When he didn't know something, he just said so. He didn't make-up some sales story. Honesty goes a long way when representing your brand.
I also like the fact that he stopped talking to listen and learn something from Jay while talking about where the horse came from.
I am not a Mustang fan but, listening to the rep, it made me more open to learn about it.
I wished we had this rep when they featured the Mach-E. The rep back then was using a lot of pre-written buzz words and I still don't understand why that Mustang electric SUV exist under that name.

This Mustang is awesome. The Ford Rep answered all of Jay's questions, and is a real "car guy." Remember the guy from GM and the new Military vehicle Jay checked out a couple weeks back? What a complete tool. Phony, slick talker, avoided answering Jay's questions! This gentleman from ford is just a down to earth, nice, knowledgeable, and honest guy. Thanks!

Usually hate these episodes with marketing people, but Jim Owens manages to do his job without coming across like a clueless used car salesman
He knows about the two tracks in the area and associates with it. The way he talks about it shows familiarity.
Other than continually saying Gen3, Gen4, etc... and the occasional reference to user "experience" (a word I hope goes out of favor soon.)

@@sidhawkwind8179 Jay does a decent job of comparing it to other brands without the obvious slap in the face pros/cons. If videos like this are a part of tge budget to support a mildly restored daily driver with an in depth history with how it relates to all cars, I'm for it. Also, Jay loves all cars, and you cant ignore how amazing new cars are if you really appreciate the classics.
@@qlr949 let's face the facts here... episodes like this are car commercials...nothing.more nothing less...BTW new cars are not classics...Old cars are classics!!!...Also just because you stick a classic old logo on it also doesn't make it a classic...They could of put a pony logo on a car that looks nothing like the original also doesn't make it that car
In 1969 I had a Mach 1 poster. Current GT’s, GT 350’s and 500’s are great but I still like the Mach 1.
Superb!
No matter what Jay was talking about this guy brought it back to the car. A true professional.
“Ford engineers want to make the best sports car they can, the GM guys wanna make the Camaro they can, the Dodge guys, you know, they wanna go as fast as they can in a straight line” 🤣 takin’ shots!

No dodge can’t turn.
He speaks the truth. The Dodges won't turn. The Chevys won't go.
Picked up my Oxford White 10 speed auto here in Australia two weeks ago and loving every minute I get to drive it. The 10 speed cries out to be given the boot and when you do, that thuggish exhaust sound is incredible. Great review by Jay and loved Jim Owens’ passion for the Mustang.

Love that these segments are getting longer and that jay and the engineer are not rushed to talk about the vehicle! Hope Jay reviews the ford maverick truck soon!
Nifty car and great hearing from FORD directly. My husband still loves his 2015 Mustang and being a Anglican (Episcopal) clergyman he can't afford this one as much as he has loved learning about it. For my husband the great thing about Mustangs is that you can always find the parts you need. Cheers to all.

Two car guys geeking out in a new Mach 1. Now that is a video i do not mind watching a few times more! Great episode Jay, and Jim is fantastic guest with all his knowledge.
Man, this generation of Mustang has aged very gracefully. Still a beautiful car.
After the car malaise of the 1970's through the 1980's, remember the 1977 Cadillac 180 HP, 7 litter V8, I never expected to see a Golden age of the US automobile. The 2021 Ford Mustang and the 2022 Corvette Z06 are amazing cars.
I remember this terrible cars. Wow! Never thought I’d see these cars again. The new Z06 is amazing. This pony car is great!
Yeah what do you think of the political moves to eliminate the internal combustion engine and fossil fuels?
@@fgb3126 It’s coming. They’ll probably use corporate averages. Without the charger stations, it’s hard for you to travel. Tesla guides it’s buyers from charger to charger. I live in Cali. There’s nowhere near the amount of needed power. We can’t even keep the power on for a hot day. And they are turning off the last nuclear plant which powers one tenth of the state. It’s like being governed by 13 year olds.
I like cars because they look cool, go fast, stop quicker, and go around corners like all get out. Internal combustion engines and fossil fuels are not necessary for that.....
@@randolphmyers They will be required for at least 20 to 30 years. People under estimate the amount for power required just for the morning drive. Cali doesn’t have enough power for hot days. And they plan on shutting down the last nuclear plant which powers ten percent of the state. The second problem is where to get the material for the batteries. If we stopped all internal combustion engines, we’d turn the world into a strip mine. Not to mention the child labor involved with this. I put solar on my house and have a Volt, but know the trade offs with this technology.
Jay's car knowledge never ceases to amaze me.
well, you can't buy that many cars without learning SOMETHING.
The rep can out talk Jay! That's something new and refreshing. Awesome Mustang for sure!
My 1st car was a 1964.5 Mustang my Grandma bought brand new. She came to live with us in 1968. My Mom drove the car a bit but didn’t like no power steering or power breaks. I however loved it. That was before the 289 CID V8. Mine had a 260 CID and a trans that could start out in 2nd gear from a dead stop to improve starting up in snow and or rain. It was really cool 1st car. Lost my virginity in that car. Oh those were the days!!!😉🥰
Yeah that Mustang definitely deserves the Mach 1 badge. Thanks Jay, good one. 😎👍🇨🇦
its a car- it doesn't deserve ANYTHING
This is a gorgeous looking little pony. When I was 22 I felt forced to sell my 66 GT350 Hertz replica do to my Wife being pregnant from my first Daughter. I would give anything to get that car back. Nothing makes me feel so awesome like watching Jay showing these beautiful cars. Keep up the great work Jay…
That Mustang is RIGHTEOUS.
Without a doubt one of the best episodes to date. I’ve met Jim Owens a few times at Carlisle, Team Shelby Northeast Region dinners. He’s very knowledgeable and he’s got a ton of great stories from all his years at Ford. Jay, I’m a Boston boy like you and I’m guessing a night out with you and Jim would be one for the ages. Great video.. thank you both !
i'm pretty sure a guy can meet another guy only once- unless they both have dementia. leno is a very busy guy- i doubt if he reads YT comments- RIGHT JAY??
You cannot ignore how the guy from Ford knows his stuff. He isn’t just a carsales person but he is a proper car guy. He gets it. If they had more people like him they would probably be the best car manufacturer/seller in the world.
Back in 1988 I remember seeing a brand new black mustang gt on the streets of NYC, I think in lower manhattan, with a guy in white shirt and tie, probably heading home. That was the last time I’ve ever seen a new v8 mustang Gt or similar in the city. This version is just too nice to commute in.
I have been watching these Jay Lenos Garage videos like from 2014. Videos are so enjoyable and informative. It's nice to have these straight forward videos about vehicles and no nonsense fuzz around them, loving the concept. True Car guys concept. And yeah, these videos will be part of history as well. Very informative.
Jay Leno, a national treasure for all us "gearheads". The man knows everything about cars, thanks Jay and hello from Rhode Island. See you at the Newport car show soon.

@@robertmcmanus636 maybe... Maybe not... Either way, EV tech is getting to the point where they simply make more sense than ICE vehicles for most applications.
So I think, even if we took the environmental factor out (and the relative environmental impact is very debatable), we've all but reached the end of the line of what's possible and practical for fossil fuel cars.
That said, I think EVs will actually make the problems we face much, much worse in the long term... Because I'm far from convinced that greenhouse gas emissions are the biggest environmental risk factor.
But that's a whole other conversation.
@@robertmcmanus636 🤦♂️
There is still LOTS of tech in the world of ICE. It's not all petrol and diesel. New engines are even now being invented. The issue is still the same as it was in 1910 however; Energy Density. Gasoline carries nearly 50x the energy per kilo as our best batteries. Until we solve that, and toxic lithium-based production, electric will always be aspirational.
The end you mean 💩💩💩 FJB
Please don’t do that again, HILARIOUS 😂
That is one of the best Jay Leno moments in a long time.
twerking is prohibited in Jay's garage!
I laughed out loud lol
It was easily the funniest thing I’ve seen on his channel. It was so awkward when the rep squatted down like that, I was wondering how Jay was going to react. At first it seemed Jay was just going to let it go but then the “please don’t ever do that again” was hilarious.
Sometimes I can honestly forget that Jay is a standup comedian since these days I just watch him for cars.
He was ready to twerk bro
I really like the guy from Ford. It´s too rare someone has his heart and passion still intact and displaying it. It takes balls for that nowadays. Not speaking carwise, just broadly... I´m not really sure but I think Jay maybe sometimes (not too much this time) is a little bit in his ego, not wanting to let the guest take too much place and subconciously want have the whole command when not necessary, but I forgive him because of the good hearted guy he seems to be. Maybe though he should start to care even about the guys on the other side.
Exactly. This was Jay at his best.
re jays ego: he is, after all, a comedian!
I am a proud owner of a 2023 Mach 1 in shadow black, with elite package, red painted calipers and handling package and 6MT Tremec. It's the best car I have ever owned. What an absolute beast.
Same, except I have a 22 in Oxford white. Do yourself a favor and remove the hydrocarbon trap to get your 10hp back.
Jay,what a dream of cars you own!
People respect and love to interview you which is awesome.
Thanks for sharing your car collection with the world..
2 real enthusiasts dropping knowledge. Cool
Ford has always been on point with their representatives whenever Jay does one of their performance cars.
For Our Retired Dads
This guy, compared to Larry Dominique from Alfa Romeo, is pure gold.
Possibly one of the absolute best sounding stock exhausts ever placed on any vehicle.
100%
My first Mustang, is 2015 S550 V6 Ingot Silver. It's my daily drive all year around car. Here in Canada we get -40c . I love this Mach 1 in this color. Thank you Jay for sharing this video. I hope someday I can afford this Mach 1.❤❤❤
I wanted a ten speed when I was a kid. Thanks to Ford, my priorities haven't changed now that I'm an adult.
Always liked my performance cars with a manual. Always thought that nothing beats banging gears in an American muscle car especially a Mustang. Recently had a chance to drive a new Mustang GT with the 10 spd auto and was very impressed! Maybe it’s me getting older and lazier but when you hammer it, it just stays in the fat part of the power band and is a freaking blast! Next (newer-ish) car will be a low mile GT with direct injection and a 10spd for sure! Only thing that sucks is you know it’s going to be $$$ if you break it. A lot cheaper and easier to replace a smoked clutch than a complicated computer controlled auto.
@Austin Batton Nothing wrong with that👍
It's a simple choice: either you drive your car or your car drives you.
At some point I will get my next mustang, 5.0, 6 speed and I'll never get rid of it.
And it will be probably be worth more when « never get rid of it » than now
I know it doesn't have the 5.2l flat plane crank V8, but boy it does sound good!
that guy was cool!
Agree. Sounds fantastic!
yeah because they needed those engines for all the warranties due on those engines and they can't meet emissions for 2021 that the only reason they didn't put it in this car it cost the same to manufacture
Glad to see the guests back in the cab with Jay for the drive.
I could feel the vibration from the exhaust.. damn 🔥🔥

Phil Clark designed the original mustang horse icon. Charles Keresztes designed the mustang II logo (not the 74 mustang 2, but the 63 concept) which became the iconic mustang horse. His profile mentions the Olympics when he was 17, however, as he was borne in 1925 that would at 17 be 1942 which did not have an Olympics due to WW2. It does mention he was in the Hungarian cavalry during WW2.
The sound of that exhaust!! Pure Heaven!!!! Need to buy one right away one of that last of a dying breed. Before all the electric cars maybe faster but no passion and glorious noises like a V-8!!
This sounds nice! I agree. Also sounds like it has a resonator like my 2015 GT premium (for the lower legal china and europe decibel levels) take that out (weld an X or H pipe in place of) and it sounds much more down to earth. $120 dollar job so no biggie but was well worth it for me after giving it a few hundred miles for everything to settle in. Should come stock w/o in USA.
I have an 04 Mach 1 and a 13 Boss 302. That exhaust note and profile sold me. I want one. Beautiful car.
We got a 2021 Mach 1 Grabber Yellow, 6 speed manual in August and love the handling and comfort.
Jim really got down on all fours to get his point across about the muscle sculpted in the horse. Gotta love him hah.
edit: feelsbadman when Jim compares the displacement of the Supercharger on the GT500's to the displacement of the 05-10 Mustang motors (I own a '06) hahaha.

bdyt, I hear ya! Loved Classic American muscle cars my whole life. Owned, worked on and restored Mopars GMs and Fords. Got away from that brand loyalty crap years ago as they all have their strengths and weaknesses. Never thought I’d see them come back like they did after living through the dark years of the late 70s and early 80s especially. Fun seeing them slowly fight their way back and then in some ways surpass the original muscle car years. 30 yrs ago would you ever think the big 3 would have the Mustang, Camaro and Challenger with high hp V8s being marketed against each other? Only thing that’s a bummer is Pontiac, Olds, Mercury and Plymouth couldn’t survive long enough to compete because people need their Honda’s Kias and Saturns.
The silly thing is, Poland was on our side, that's how WW2 started, Hitler invaded it.
Gotta laugh when people are commenting on here and they haven't even bothered to actually watch the thing yet. I guess being "first" is a big deal for them. Good job, Jay.
Like your comment, for example.
Big corvette guy here but after watching this review... I must say Ford is on a different level that what I thought. Will be giving Mustang a serious look going forward. Thank you Jay for the all the fun and informative videos you make :)
Looking back now. C8 is where they lost me on Corvette. C7 was still tolerable but C6 was the peak for me. I mean what I like. As for Mustang this is it. You can't even tune the new one and does not look as good as this Mach one.
During the extra long talk and drive segment the video would show the brake lights coming on for a slow down at a curve, but the audio would have us hearing the car accelerate. It almost reminds me of the chase scene in “Bullitt” when the audio didn’t always match up with the video.
I bought one of these and I love it. I'm so happy that Jay is reviewing it. I'm so excited to be going to the Ford Performance Racing School for the Mach 1 Track Attack.
Update - Went to Ford Performance Racing School and it was such a blast! I still remember when they started mine, to drive it out of the showroom...WOW! So excited to have Jay's seal of approval!
I know the feeling about them starting it up in the showroom! I saw Jesus’s face, a unicorn, and the clock on the wall quit working…..lol, at least that’s what I tell everyone.
Jim Owen knows everything, every accurate Corporate ,word, term and phrase, just oozes out of his words.He is so inline with everything Corporate, it's amazing to listen to him spew forth Corporate Product Terminology . He obviously has spent his life in Corporate Automotive Culture.
Nice very heavy car.
Does your Lotus have plywood floors?
Excellent video. Sweet car. Unlike the GM guy in the military vehicle video, Jim is a true car guy, he really knows his stuff, and gives you the real deal / not marketing BS. Perfect match for Jay, you can tell both enjoyed making the video.
There’s nothing better when real car guys talk shop. Thanks Jay. Always a pleasure!

@@Juggernaut-fg2up Nope but they do go very fast ion a straight line, it's a hell of an engine.

@@jizzyjake6783 yeah, I can see that. Good point.
I had a Mustang ecoboost and I gave that car to my son while I bought a Camaro SS. When driving on the open roads and tracks the Camaro will beat that Mustang any day, however I have to admit that when driving on the twisty side mountain roads of Southern California the ecoboost is so much more fun to drive.
eco rent a car
That’s more a problem with the Camaro. It’s a sedan chassis with a sports car body laid over it. They’re very pretty, and have good performance. But, are also big and heavy so aren’t going to be as nimble and the same fun as a smaller lighter car.
While they’ve gotten bigger and heavier the mustangs have still stayed more of a sports car.
@NBSV1 they're roughly the same weight. The ecoboost is 300 lbs lighter than an ss camaro. But this mach 1 is about the same weight.
0:24 I loved how half the time (during the demo drive) when "Jim Owens" would start to say something, Jay would put his foot in it and drown him out. Like here when Jim said, "Nobody wants to be the first... Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!" Perhaps Jay just wanted to stop hearing Jim say Gen3, Gen4, etc.😅 😂 🤣
One of the great and most underrated things about this Mach1, with the Handling package, is the stance created by the wheel and tire package: The perfect offset of the wheels with nice concavity, along with the beefy steam-roller tires... Most don't even point this out, but it goes a LONG way to the overall look.
If U R gonna look like a fool- might as well look like a classy fool...
@@tommurphy4307 Not sure what you mean. You are saying the Mach1 looks foolish??
Im a Camaro guy. I’m in my 4th camaro (1995 base V6, 2014 LT1/RS V6, 2019 2SS & now 2011 2SS/RS). Now THIS is a Mustang I’ll love to own tbh. It’s a beautiful color combination and those WHEELS!!! Freaking Beautiful! And With Michelin Cup Tires. Yeah this is a Muscle car for sure. Gotta love the rivalry between the two
Absolute night and day when you compare this guy to the GM suck up from the last GM Defense Infantry episode 🤣
Watch the ones with the Corvette guys. Much better
It's nice to see (and hear) the latest Mustang Mach1. I miss seeing regular sports/performance cars featured regularly. They are no less fun to drive than before, but they don't get the press attention that they deserve.

I'd take this bad boy over the dark horse
This may be a Mustang, and bring back memories of the 60’s and early 70’s, but this is still an expensive car for your average 8 to 4:30 crowd. Gone are the days when your brother working at the gas station could buy a Mach1 or a Swinger 340. Oh well, that’s how it goes now. Sometimes I feel like the only thing that hasn’t changed is me!

I can only hope Jay sees this but he probably won't. It's so amazing that he remembers the Hungarian Calvary master that designed the running horse, Charles Keresztes, my grandfather. If he does see this, let me just say thank you for keeping his memory alive. I still have a clipping of an old Detroit news or free press article where Jay also mentions Charles.
Thanks again Jay for keeping his memory alive outside our family, it means the world. Pretty sure my mom has one of the first castings of the horse still as well.
As well the horse he modeled it after was named red.
He was really a true lineman, jumping at the chance to get into a four point stance again…
I've never been a mustang fan, but I have to admit that they're getting better. Truthfully, I don't really like any new car besides the corvette. And I really wish it had less electronics. I'm only 43, but I much prefer older cars. I think the 60s through the 80s are my favorites.
Cmon so you don’t like the mustang boss 429 👀?
I’m a mustang guy, but I agree.
Informative about the Mustang; thank you for sharing it with us. That being said, I think this Mustang would have made Ken Miles proud if he were alive today. I am a GM guy (mostly Cadillac) but it seems to me that this car has that bit of what makes a guy such as myself a bit envious. The color combination, the look, and all the rest seem to be a perfect match. Great job, Ford.
do you have one of those new cadillacs with the chevy motor in it??
Jay’s service to the auto enthusiasts deserves a Knighthood. Sir Jay sounds like a great idea for what he does. All USA has to do is re-join the Commonwealth and rename July 4th to “Commonwealth Day”, and Knighthoods will be available to all subjects.
I'm a Chevy guy but this last generation of Mustangs has been outstanding!
Indeed.
"The steering is so smart" ..... as Jay crosses over the double yellow. LOL
Jay has never been a "within the lines" kind of guy.
That's a new one for Jays show when he went down on all fours .
