dayum! love that second gear chirp
CareerFireman
Standard gear for the mt82 is 3.31
Stock 5.0 will chirp into 3rd with ease :)
It is because it can go from a stop to 60 in less than 4 seconds. That’s entry-level supercar and/or sports car territory... for like only $40k
Asphalt8ficionado **50k +
Only the auto can do less than 4.0
C W Are You thinking of the Camaro refresh? 😂
Roman looks good in high heels.
Damn you daycare and mortgage, damn you!
Randy Holland You'll get there bud. Be patient.
Should of thought of that before you went there!
Man.. first they show those heels and then you hear Roman's voice. Talk about disappointment. LOL!

Why is bill Clinton working for ford now?
fortis619 off topic lol
Papa Bacardi 😂😂😂😂
To appeal to black buyers.
Papa Bacardi they needed more HR nightmares
Papa Bacardi, haha, same thing I was gonna say!!
Great, they're finally giving this baby some power.
The new Engine Cover for the 5.0 is horrible...
David Covey I agree
Agree too had a 15 more plastic doesn't help
Yeah, looks so flat but hey we can always take it off.
Yeah, taking it off will obviously be the fix! I can't help but wonder why they changed it from the previous one? It looked so nice before!
David Covey it is I️ would take it off right away. I️ would buy a 2018 and put on the 15-17’s front and rear bumper, hood, and lights. I️ would only buy it for the features
Had a 2018 Mustang GT for a weekend. Fun car -- handles great, sounds fantastic, it's everlovingly LOUD. 460 hp. On a full tank of regular unleaded, I was able to travel 400 kilometres (248 miles) before refueling. I was driving it pretty hard in track mode, but yeah, if fuel economy is important to you, get a Focus or a Corolla. The 2018 Mustang offers better bang for the buck than the 2018 Challenger R/T (385 hp), and they both cost about the same. Two thumbs up for the '18 Mustang.
I had no idea the new 5.0 had 460 hp.. I think my brothers 13’ 5.0 had 420 hp? That’s awesome
just graduated fresh off campus, uhh.
E D I T: oops wrong video, nice mustang :)
Duck Fayce goddamnit jeffrey
In the U.S. these days, good luck finding a job that pays anything, much less one to afford a new car! Good luck though!
the only thing that bothers me of this new mustang is the 5.0's engine cover 😂 it looks weird the older one was way better.
it has to have sound deadening in it to quiet down the loud direct injection lifter noise. All direct injection cars need this.
Interesting. This is true? I've never heard that before. I thought it was just for looks.
Greb Nitty yup it's true. Take a look at any of the ecoboost engines. They have the same thing. They are direct injection as well.
I love my 2018 Mustang GT. Not a day goes by that I’m not excited to get up and drive. It really makes people smile. It’s my 4th one and yes it’s the best yet. Always prayin for sunshine!!
Man, what a dream! im 17 years old ive always wanted a mustang ever since I saw the brand new 4 eye mustang GT in 2013. Im still wishing that I could get this exact year model, the 2018 GT, I just love the aggressive frown of the headlights, it just makes to look so menacing. Great car man!
The base GT starts at $35,095,Premium is $39,095
All the new and extremely exciting new changes on this car are all things That Chevrolet owners have been enjoying for years. It's exciting and im thankful Ford has finally stepped it up but really all i can say is "It's about time".
Now, does this car have launch control, No lift shift, automatic hill start assist and the ability to lower the windows via the key fob? All things the Camaro has
American Muscle! Love that channel
He keeps saying 5 more HP than the Camaro, but the Camaro is still up 35 lbs-ft of torque. Personally I'd rather +35 torque over +5 HP. But that 10 speed auto is going to be beastly.
Facts
Horsepower sells cars, torque wins races
On 1.2 less litres...
Greg Miller Which means nothing. The Coyote is DOHC and is designed to be a peakier, higher RPM engine, and it is physically larger and no more efficient than the GM's LT1. HP/L is a 100% useless metric because horsepower is a function of torque and time. That is why we also must consider RPM. In the case of the Mustang, it's 7,000RPM peak and 7,500RPM redline, much higher than the LT1.
Yeah it has a lot more torque but 0-60 times they both are dead even. Can’t go wrong with neither.
That honey comb grill configuration is exactly like my 2014 fiesta ST
I want one so bad but honestly the 10 speed auto is way more attractive the steering shifter is really nice on the new ones and that dash and seats and variable exhaust sooo nice
Los Angeles is the car capital of the world. With that much Traffic I'm going with the 10-speed
It will pull more horse power than the Turbo but won't take off quicker. V8s are a thing of the pass.
Those red leather recaros look amazing
This car seems to have the perfect combination of muscle and tech. None of the dealerships near me have any yet. I want to buy one.
That exhaust is bitchin! I recently drove the 6 speed GT. That gearshift was quick and precise.
Duh! Of course its the best! Mustang!
0:02 Hey Roman, nice stilettos!
+mountainhobo Roman says Thanks
I would never pay $50,000 for a resale value falling Mustang . give me a Corvette anyday over this
Corvette values drop like a rock, and at the moment GM can't give those cars away
Escape for Mankind is Keith Johnson yeah well a Corvette will embarrass that turd. no matter how much power it makes.ford pricing themselves right out of the market
People want Quality, Sophistication, and Performance, and those things don't come cheap
Car is never a good investment. If u worry about how long it’s worth after 5 years then don’t buy a car.
Then buy a used one
I like some of the new options like the magnetic ride and exhaust but I'll stick with my 15 thanks. Good review!
I hope Ford is listening to what I say because this Mustang with the Active exhaust sounds exactly like Frank Bullitt's Mustang. So hey Ford how about a 2019 Bullitt? I am yet to see the 2018 in person but man does it look good with the PP2 performance package, so far my favorite. I think should get rid of the PP1 package wheels for good and keep the PP2 wheels more affordable by using the tire set up of the PP1 while offering the aggressive tire and other upgrades set up in the PP2
Muscle cars and V8's + manual transmission. There's no other way to do ti!!
10 speed auto way better
Boogey man 10 spd AUTO = Expensive + Boring
Lol suree. I have nothing against DCT. Have fun driving your new Mustang......on Xbox
Yeah you can get a 10 speed try to race him from a Dig and get you're ass stomped it's the same transmission in the Zl1
Is this the most scared public crowds should be? I am scared for my life with the mustang on the streets for fear of noob drivers plowing me over.
From certain angles I think the front end isn’t bad but from most I feel it looks too scrunched. Plus gloss black on the top half of the grille and matte on the bottom? Cmon... I do like the higher redline though.
Gotta admit, I hated the new front end when I first saw it leaked. After seeing it in person it has grown on me though. Still don't like the glossy grill however.
Cars are getting so technologically advanced that car guys cant even explain what is going on anymore.. its for tech guys now
Being the best Mustang GT ever is like being the most attractive drunk girl at a frat party
Why pay 50k+ for a maxed out GT when the GT350 starts at 57k. That's like 80 more horsepower.
Thats with all the options, not only that, the performance pack 2 will finally allow the gt to be quicker than a camaro v6 1le around all tracks. On some tracks before the facelift the v6 1le was quicker on a lot of the tracks.
If you really look at the facelifted mustang like I do, its just as quick as the gt350 in a straight line for 7k less. Add the 7k into the mustang and you get a mustang that can do both track and straight lines.
Anthony Weeks
The GT350 is my dream car but is it not worth it when compared to the GT
Dealers add 6-10k to the price of the 350 over msrp, and they will take off about 4k for a gt. Price isnt close at all.
John try another $10k in markups for the gt350
@John The GT350 is most definitely worth the 7k price bump when you factor in the fact the Mustang GT will depreciate like crazy and the GT350 will hold value much better.
Why is everyone hating on the front end?? It's lower and I think it looks great.
It was unnecessary. Previous headlights were better looking.
fndubs something with the headlights makes it look sad
I like it, it looks infuriated because it wants to run these thots over.
fndubs because the previous model was banging
fndubs cause they can
Are people really complaining about the engine cover 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
It would be nice to know at what rpm it makes 460 hp.
I love how you all at TFLC have mastered the art of incorporating porno into your video intros.
the mazda pulled him at 1:42. :) that second gear chirp souds sweet.
Cool car wish we had more exhaust clips
I've grown to like the new front bumper. Not more than the outgoing one, but equally.
I don't know why I thought more people would get the manual...
Only 28%? The others are all posers
I'm a dyed in wool manual transmission guy in any kind of performance car but this new 10 speed automatic is really impressive. I'm leaning toward the auto, it's really that impressive.
Who gets an automatic Mustang? Come on, don't you want to be one with the car? Or do you just want to hit a gas pedal and brake pedal and that's all? No.
what I want to know, and I know this is odd, is the mustangs new 10 speed fast enough to make it as fun as a typical DCT?
ehhhh starting to warm up to the new front
He said, "we're going to build the best mustang we can." But all I heard was "...most expensive mustang."
why are you bitching about the price when your not going to buy one
billy heaton I WAS going to buy one.
American performance cars are definitely not given up on manual s, it’s actually the opposite of the rest of the world!
Definitely a step up but I'd still prefer an LT1 with all that torque under the hood. The Coyote has never been good in that aspect.
$50k for a mustang? Wtf?
Lucas Peruzzo what decade are you living in?
Mustang gt starts around 35k, its only 50k if you get every option. And thats MSRP. Its not hard to pay a few thousand under that.
Entry level GT 39k he just said it. Still expensive.
Damian Sanchez That is for the GT Premium. Ford's website lists base GT at $35k.
TheDoltonboy obviously not the same as yours... As everyone stated, it is not 50k but around 35k... which makes more sense, still expensive but makes more sense. I though the base GT would go for 50k which sounds totally insane to me. Again, it is my opinion :)
This video is not showing up on your channel??
Hate the dashboard........no passion, no emotions.....thats why i still think, the 2015-17 Mustang ist still better. The View of the analog gauges is beautiful and let you feel the speed.....
You have to pay extra 2k to upgrade interior equipment in order to purchase the magnetic damping system.
I’m ok with paying $3,995 for the performance package and $1,695 for the magnetic ride damping system. I am not ok with paying an extra 2k for interior, especially when I don’t care for interior at all.
In march of 2012, I purchased my brand new 2012 mustang gt (auto) for $25,500 (most basic model available). MSRP was $29,999 but I was able to bring price down because it was the last 2012 on the lot. Guess I won’t be getting anywhere close to that but we should be able to get the GT for 3-4 off MSRP. Shouldn’t be a problem.
Anybody know if there is away of getting magnetic damping without upgrade interior?
I really want a mustang. Right now just have a fiesta. I posted my first ever TH-cam video. If anyone sees this please feel free to check it out. More in depth videos to come!
And the magnetic ride is not a stand alone option, it's required with the mid level premium pack 401A. I'm surprised the performance pack does not get the manga ride as standard. This new mustang now costs more than a equally equipped SS, if not more. And, the new 10 spd auto is not good. It takes 1.5 to 2 full seconds to respond to throttle input or paddle shift input when cruising in the 1500-2500 rpm range. It's having the same issues that the 10 spd had in the ZL1 from 10 months ago... Also, at least they could put some good summer rubber on as a option for the base cars and brighten up the dull, dim skinny tri-bar DRL s new mustang is a huge let down. Ugly front end, and an added 70-120 lbs more weight because of more standard garbage...
still warming up to that front end... good video!
Black wheels... because looking like you lost your hubcaps is so attractive
Love it!!
Ford claims 0-60 in 3.9 seconds however recent video show 4.5😂.
There is a lot of variables doing a 0-60 run, mostly surface traction and technique. Try it some time against the stop watch, you'll be amazed at how much it will change with just a slight difference in any one of the variables.
Carl Ryan ended up going to get a 18 6 speed
A 19 year old boy in Oklahoma City Oklahoma was pulled over by Oklahoma Highway Patrol after felony eluding clocked at 209 miles an hour in a Mustang do a simple Google search
I want to like this car.. but the front ...ughh.. why? ford? why shit on the bed with that front end when you put all the right pieces together? Glad I got the 15' th xpipe and roush exhaust and tune and suspension upgrades makes my base gt as fast as that slackjawed mouth breathing 18' model. next time the design is ip.. light faster sleaker.. no shitting up the front with old fart ideas. have the new generation build that mean ass front end.
Lol yes we have given up on stick, but the fact that you know what the word stick means makes you a person that would most likely pick a stick vehicle because you know what it means to own..... A STICK.
tears actually drip down from my eyes when i saw the Price of my dream car XD
Not so sure.... Front looks like a copied 6 Series, rear seems to be trying to be a Skyline. Dashboard is the only improvement and they should finally give it a decent sized fuel tank. Still not buying.
Ok... , So it's growing on me ...! I cant see the engine under that Engine Cover. ? I like the new Dig. Dash gauges look cool..! Nice review of the 2018 it's only 50K ...ohhhhh.... !!!
Okay enough about the Mustang , now you have to do the Camaro for a comparison , even a head to head , we are not all Ford fans Roman , or is FLC just about Jeep and Ford , oh yeah Dodge Hellcat too , fair suck of the sav :-)
They only modified the from a bit n everyone is hating on it like tf in a couple months u r going to think it’s spicy and then when they release a new mustang ur going to think it looks nasty
Lose those horrible black wheels NOW. The black wheel thing has gone on long enough. Also, does the engine really sound like that, or is it a computer generated sound. My 2012 GT has a Borla exhaust, and it sounds great. No digital "enhancement" I wouldn't even consider anything but the V8. A Mustang with a 4 cylinder is just wrong. My sister has a Chevy Sonic 1.4L turbo four cylinder, and it barely has enough power to get out of it's own way. My Mustang can lay rubber at will. If you are drag racing, you need the rear suspension to compress when you launch it. The rearward weight transfer gives you a lot more traction. I have been drag racing for 42 years, and built a car once with no rear suspension. I got a lot of wheelspin and fishtailing off the line. A 4 link is the way to go, but not on a street car that has to handle. If that were my car, well first it would lose the black wheels, then it would spend the rest of it's life in track mode.
Gerald Scott There is no digital sound.
hard plastic interior is disgusting
Wow 5 more HP over the Camaro, big deal. But it’s a bigger deal that the Camaro has 35 more lb ft of torque over the mustang.
Twice he's trying to tell me this mustang has only 5 more horsepower than the Camaro well guess what you're lagging behind with torque by at least 20
I really admire the current gen Camaro and Mustang, as my 1st car was a Firebird. But I would have a really hard time paying $50k for either at my age. I would rather get an M240i as my dd.
You wear heels man?
front end looks like a sloth lmao
Jose Chairez good one, I was thinking catfish.
But it’s still way better than the 2015-2017 front end
People with Down Syndrome complain because they have No Money!!!!
Escape for Mankind is Keith Johnson Dude that was seriously offensive.
I agree with Charles, catfish was the first thing that came to mind. All it needs are a couple of whiskers.
LOL why did they lower the face like that? Makes it look like a catfish. Stupid Ford designers
Hey FAST LANE CAR, that's 448 hp on CA 91 or any other state with 91 or less.
Really you're a car guy and you said shark teeth! 🤔👎🏾what about cobra fangs?
So glad itt doesnt have that useless and unreliable V4 mode that the camaro and the challenger/charger have.
very beautiful and muscular look, great sound, but the Engine Cover is ugly
Rev limited to 155? I think he means speed limited to 155mph. IS there any way to disable this function? I need to go faster than 155 for sure.
SOUNDS LIKE A BUNCH OF EXPENSIVE STUFF TO GO BAD........... I,LL PASS
You must be mistaking this 2018 Hyundai Elantra Coupe for a Mustang
Then I guess you're in the wrong video.
You are trying to hard
In Japan!
Still same ole crappy exhaust sound.
mustang is now offering what chevy has been offering for a while now.
Way too much money. The GT use to be so affordable. Now it's not. Thanks ford.
Mark Simrow 35k...
is that the topanga canyon overlook??
Chevy has had magnetic ride for 10 years already. Bout time for caught up.
Ford waited for MagneRide to become more Advanced
That sound 😍😍😍🤤🤤🤤🤤
Amazing From differences levels.
Leave the hood closed,that is one butt ugly engine!WTF Ford?
Wow!!! The new Mustang and Camaro now have the same transmission.
5 more HP than Camaro?!!! Yes!!! Oh wait but the Camaro has 455 lb ft of torque though. 😲 $50,000 for all of that? The Camaro SS 1LE has all that and more for $45,000 and it's one the best handling cars out there. But when it comes down to it you get what makes you happy. 😁
And yet the Mustang still has top end speed and faster 0-60 stock vs stock still faster
To bad it's just ugly and looks like a moded Fusion!!
28% of buyers get a 6-speed..............................................
It is.
it's so ugly.... and the spoiler... omg... ugly AF
How’s the handling ??
They ruined the beautiful front that this car used too have!!
I looks akward... What did they change at the front?
MX5 called, they want their headlights back.
