1989 Mustang American Iron Race Car - One Take
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 4 ก.ย. 2024
- American Iron is a national racing series for 1979-94 Ford Mustangs, Chevrolet Camaro's, and Pontiac Firebirds. Todd's American Iron car makes stout power, is ridiculously loud, and somehow, remains road legal.
Check out Todd's race car on WheelWell!

Lol! The review came out really well! The car has Cherry Bomb glass packs, which are more than half the weight of the Flowmasters; it's all about weight savings, people! Too bad Matt didn't go WOT to 6k, because it really sings at those revs. Also, the car only sees the street when I'm taking to my mechanic and fabricator, Jim's Auto in Oakland, NJ. So, don't think I'm commuting in it everyday. :) I'm going to update my Wheel Well profile ASAP.
+Todd Honczarenko That car is amazing, it sounds beastly!
+Todd Honczarenko Yay I love it when the car's owners post in the comments! Nice car.
+Todd Honczarenko What does this feel like in the corners? I have the same transmission as well. How does the griggs racing suspension work on the street as I am interested in one. I have alot of questions........ What kind of tire do you run on it?
+Thomas Jeffereson I have a modified TKOII which has a different input shaft that's 28 spline to fit the Mustang clutch. I love this transmission!
When I put the Griggs stuff in, I ran 350# springs up front (coil over) and had rear control arms with spring perches with 400# springs. Now I have rear cool overs with 300# springs (really stiff because I like a little oversteer) and 500# springs up front. For the street the 350# springs were great and if go with 200# or 225# rears. I also run Griggs custom valved Koni Yellows (double adjustable) struts and shocks. It's amazing how the car transforms into a precise cornering machine after the upgrade. It is easier to drive in the rain and it stops better too.
I did the brakes first and then the suspension. Then I finally added power after the other stuff was done.
+Thomas Jeffereson I wrote more stuff but my phone crashed. Basically any tire that is decent will be great on the Griggs setup. I run the delrin bushings on the front control arms and the rear was a combo of a heim joint and a urethane bushing when it was on the street. Now it's an aluminum control arm with heim joints at both ends.
I can't remember if I wrote that it was much improved in the rain and my car stops much better with the suspension. It totally gets rid of the squirrelly rear end and vague front end of the OEM stuff.
I have to say, that's a great microphone you got there. No problems whatsoever.
+Christian Augustin I've been super stoked on this thing. Best in-car lav I've ever used.
+Matt Farah What is it exactly?

Thanks!
+Mike Foxtrot Certainly!
pissing off rich people, one decibel at a time
i wanna drive this on the Beverly hills streets at 2 am
I'm amazed your mic could handle that noise. Driving that car through that area is hilarious.
+RamblinAround this mic is so killer. Go watch the three-wheeler video, that was the most impressive noise reduction I've ever seen from a $30 mic.
That downshift bark is absolutely amazing.
My god those blips are soooo good.
Matt remember one thing, street legal outside of California is a huge difference from street legal in California. People tend to say "you aren't in California anymore you're in the US".
***** oh believe me, I've lived here 23 of my 30 years and I hate the laws here.. You'd think LA would be even worse about smog laws than the rural area north of Sacramento that I live in but it seems LA is more relaxed on their smog than us.. how stupid is that.
***** it exists, except it's not an island.. it's called Germany
***** okay... considering Germany is pretty much like Washington State "Germany has a temperate climate throughout the country with warm summers and cold winters, however long periods of frost or snow are rare. Rain falls throughout the year. The average monthly January daytime temperature is 3 degrees celcius (38 degrees Fahrenheit) and in July it's 22 degrees celcius (72 degrees Fahrenheit). Extremes temperatures sometimes reach -10 degrees celcius (5 Fahrenheit) in winter and 35 degrees celcius (95 Fahrenheit) in the summer months."
The thing is the higher in altitude you go the colder it will be obviously.. The big plus side to Germany is the roads.. But then Austria and Swizterland have amazing roads too.
Shudda linked up with haggard garage.
theyre in Mexico though xD
+RB26 likeaboss lol true I forgot. 😉
+im Schwaggy cmon dude pay attention mexico is far away
+Mikey Walker because they could all do ratchet shit together.
+im Schwaggy they are barely in their 20's and ghetto mod everything, why would he want to do anything with them?
Those downshift blips man. DAMN that thing has some throttle response.
What a surprise, I go for my regular Smoking Tire fix, only to see Matt in a car sitting next to my sticker! We have had nothing to do with the Mustang despite being so visible on the car however. Todd uses our pedals in his race simulator as one of many of our customers who race in 'real life' do. Awesome car Todd, I think I could hear it over here in Holland... ;-)
+Niels Heusinkveld LOL! I have the brake pedal very closely feeling like my Mustang brake pedal and helps me practice for the real world. That's one of my favorite things about the pedals, is that they are so adjustable!
+Niels Heusinkveld It even surprised me, Niels. To see your sticker there. I was about to send you a tweet or something until I saw your comment.
"Er gaat niets boven Groningen"... "Nothing beats Groningen", cause us Groningers have a hand in many things across the world. :p
Unlike some of the other videos in the past, the LOUDNESS really translates to video!
A race car with plates. This man is living the dream!
I have driven my car back from Pocono International because my friend who trailered my car to the track had to leave early due to an emergency and I wanted to stay for the next race; I wanted to win the championship so I had to get the points. I destroyed my front tires (slicks) driving it home, because it was all highway miles and I ran almost 4 degrees neg camber at the time.
I miss my MM'd 93. That car was a riot. A friend had a GR40'd 86. It was a beast
your mic is absolutely dope! One takes getting better and better.
The scenic view is awesome. Nice to trade mountains for trees once in awhile :)
Thanks for covering an American Iron race car Matt. Great Class to get into
That thing sounds awesome! I love seeing fox body track race cars.
I have watched this NO LESS than 5 times....that thing is sick, and good for you Todd... Matt had some serious restraint with that traffic...you're a better man than I sir
Loved the sound of those downshifts!
10/10 would daily
Love the sound when you rev match and the Harris impersonation!
Matt, you're my favorite Jew
+Uncle Du Persian actually.
***** Persian isn't a religion.
***** Jew is a race, Judaism is a religion. Matt is Persian and, AFAIK, atheist.
+Richard Harrold You're misinformed, bud. Besides, I was referring to Matt's religion.
***** Matt's made no public indication of any religious belief. His surname is Iranian.
to date this the best sounding car I've heard on TH-cam.
As a construction worker I can confirm, I like Fox body's!
this car deserves a redo on good clear roads!! loved it
I will always love a Mustang video.
That Griggs suspension is no joke...I would love to take a spin.
This may be my favorite one take yet. By the way Matt, where you pulled over to let traffic clear was a passing zone. Why not just pass the Subaru?
+Charles Flaherty He probably didn't want to risk getting the police called on him while driving someone else's car, let alone in a streetlegal Mustang race car. Whether it was legal to pass there or not, you know how some people are. I don't blame him.
+Charles Flaherty From the looks I don't think it was fast enough lol
+Bigboomer what is aggressive on passing a slower car on the passing zone ?
+Bigboomer ah Okey. Thanks for explanation. Seems the US law is setted up more aggressive then in EU.
You could have passed that Subaru, you were in a passing zone. Would have been an epic flyby.
TheCobruhAlienat0r I so wanted him to feed the car that Subie. Then the Civic. WE'RE GOING FOR SUSHI
I watched this like 7 times can't get enough of it awesome ride! I would of passed those cars lol
Meanwhile, a Suzuki Cappucino is illegal lol :)
who needs coffee when you have this
That's not a coffee. A Suzuki Cappuccino is a real car lol.
That's not a coffee. A Suzuki Cappuccino is a real car lol.
+David Peck lol at his reply ^
+Raj TV 9000 rpm coffee
Hahaha Matt your Chris Harris impression is getting better, gets me every time.
Man that wing will stabilize anything! :)
Matt, it looks like you are having a fantastic time in these Connecticut videos. I'm loving them!
LOL Matt, this one always puts a smile on my face, LOL esp since I agree with the "street legal + loudness" comments and subsequent nervousness :D
The person who inspected his car must reaaaaaaallllly like him. No way thats actually street legal. Such an awesome car.
+Aybars Gungor Based on the Jersey "QQ" plates it's registered as a classic car (over 25 years old) so it's open season to do whatever he wants to it.
Hell ya Matt.Fox race car on Connecticut back roads.👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
building a foxbody track so wild you will want to feature it. it's right there with that blue chrome one
lovely greenhouse maker...the tree huggers must be up in arms
That wing is wicked!
Matt, you never mentioned the torque arm. Both a panhard rod and watts link are devices used for lateral locating of the rear axle. The torque arm is what solid axle Mustangs really need, which gets rid of the stock upper rear control arms (and binding).
Also, you may want to mention, in the description, that the car's power is limited by class rules, as it appears a lot of people are latching on to your "feels slow" comment.
"Oh my god, this f****ing car! " @ 0:20.....zactly. That motor sounds raunchy as hell and well sorted//....love the startup and the review of the mods done. Thanks Matt!
Waited the whole time for him to ring it out.. Yay, for shifting at a whopping 4k rpms once..
I've noticed more things I can remove from the interior to reduce weight, great video. love the sound!
8:12 I'm not sure if that was an attempted Chris Harris impression, but thanks for reminding me to check his channel.
Just got a 86 GT convertible. Love the car. Only pain is trying to get it to idle right lol.
Great Video! That is a very interesting view outside of a race car in unfamiliar territory. Both for driver and car.
Nice Clarkson-style analogy at 8:12 haha love it!!
The people of Greenwich must have loved this.
I love it when Matt says "its tighter than mine."
DAMN! I really wish I had known you were in Greenwich!!!!
Haha, Heusinkveld Engineering !Probably a sim racing fan, this Todd guy. :)
good ol CT thats were im from not Greenwich lol but its pretty awsome to watch these vids knowin matts from ct to keep up the good wrk brothaman
from new canaan, would be so cool to see you driving around
1989 hatch got to love them
I think he did a good job. :-) Always loved the sound of a Fox body V8.
A car like this would be physically draining as a daily driver but fun on a track.
I don't think that I have seen you enjoy yourself more than on this video.
Sounds sick!
Give it some beans Matt.
Jeezuz....the sounds
This is spectacular.
Driving a race car on the street feels so naughty!
i wanna see matt meet up with haggard garage one day and make a video of him test driving their cars LOL
nice, always love this fox body and fit perfect with this wheels too. race car FTW
could instantly tell you were in the north east by the look of those roads
That plywood spoiler though xD
Thanks you for this...makes me Ok about liking Mustangs, and what some smart money can do.
Just as you said "I dont wanna sit behind the subaru" you came up to a passing zone :D i guess ur not used to it in the canyons above LA :P
What is your mic setup, Matt? Sounds great!
+BCH37501 It really does. For how loud it is in there it's amazing we can hear him at all!
Those downshifts sound orgasmic.
Quite rare to see a Scoobie going slow
I love your videos I'm from a drag background so mine has way more motor than yours and this but it'd be too much on those turns. Enjoy the curves thanks for the video!
Just a quick question Matt, when are you gonna get your Aston Martin back from GB with its new manual swap? Haven't heard about it for months so I was just curious.
Hopefully by the end of the year. Very long process.
+TheSmokingTire That should be a beast when its done, what made you do the swap instead of buying something like a dbs?
+Joe Cribben I don't like the DBS. Looks too "tuner-y" with that body kit and won't age well. The Vanquish is timeless.
+TheSmokingTire Fair enough, Is it common for people to swap transmissions in these cars? It would be great to put a manual in a 599.
Awesome to hear, thanks Matt!
I'm glad you didn't drop a gear, and tickle the gas pedal when you saw that police car. Of course I'm lying...
No Interior??
What are talking about? Yes there is. Don't you see those Beautiful Tubes and that Gorgeous Cell in there?? 😍
That's my dream car. Foxbody mustang race car
I wasn't aware you did One Takes in Connecticut, I would love for you to drive my stock Saab before I sell it
I'm thinking about getting a Fox Body for my first car. Should be great
have we seen your fox body mustang yet or is it still being built? just don't want to miss it when it's done or close to it! these 1 takes are great fun! i live in CT east of the river in glastonbury which is pretty damn snooty itself with gail king etc. living up in the high rent district but that's nothing compared o greenwich lol.. idk how you weren't pulled out of the car by a rent a cop but that's your hood i take it? i bet you could tell some stories about being a hooligan out there! thanks for all you do, you're actually my fav reviewer because you're a competent driver that can get into any car and give the rundown of all its characteristics without missing a beat!
Nice review on this 89 fox body with the griggs components. I had the street version on my 90 not as track focus but never the less still kick ass.I also had the inner and outer sub frame :IE latter set-up, and a 6 point roll bar. When i got the griggs
i was looking at the watt linkage at the time but it didn't fit into my budget.I also had a great deal of other mods too the car
but the list is to long. But I loved the yokohama 032r tires.
i was gonna build a car from scratch but i might have to build off a fox body instead now after watching all ur foxbody videos.
"Oh my God, this fucking car"
Heusinkveld, that's Niels's company :) The owner must be doing sim racing
Matt you sure this is in Greenwich? I think I know that road, starts in Armonk, goes to Mt. Kisco if you kept going a bit more. I used to work in a building nearby and drive on that road for fun all the time.
+Roninwarrior7 I imagine he's just calling all his one-takes while he's "back home" either Greenwich or CT, even if they're not actually in Greenwich (which this one certainly isn't, 128 is a NY road)
fucking hell dude, the v8s from that generations man. The mechanical sounds of the engine is so good. Unlike the v8s that mercedes makes nowadays.
yeayea i know firing orders and all but still
+RB26 likeaboss have a listen to an AMG hammer car.
I was laughing out loud through most of this drive. Car sounds amazing and ridiculous at the same time.
Great stuff man!
That sound offended many people that day lol must have turned a lot of heads looking at you like what the fuck? I love it!!!!
dude are you traveling for these vids now? come to Dallas and drive my procharged mustang. we have some sick tracks here.
serious question here: are you ever gonna do anything else besides one takes? I love these but I loved your other content as well
+Jake Chapin I do lots of other content! We have 8 episodes of /DRIVE on NBC Sports, (available on iTunes and Google Play), we have a full 10-episode season of /TUNED airing right now on /DRIVE+, we have All Cars Go to Heaven 2 coming out this fall, and we have a podcast every week, as well as part 2 of Rally North America coming up. Tons of stuff going on that's more produced. We just do a lot of one takes, because they are quick and easy, and youtube isn't like TV; it' pays very little and only by volume, not by quality.
Also, many of us enjoy watching Matt try new builds and give us ideas for our own projects!
I think i need to move to new jersey now because if that is street legal than i can have some fun with my car.
You should do a challenge - drive this from Los Angeles to San Diego (through Long Beach and Orange County) without getting puled over by C.H.P. once. I dare you.
Holy shit you drove this thing in Greenwich?? That is hilarious.
Why does this use race gas to make 320 rwhp?
I know plenty of Mustang guys who make way more than that on stock 5.0s on just 93?
Its not really the same but my wrx makes around 300 awhp, and that's on 93 as well...
Lol my 3.7 v6 makes 300 wheel with bolt ons and 93 lol. Technology is great
Sounds like my foxbody when I hit a speedbump too fast and tore my exhaust off (before the cats)
lmao at ur reaction im just at 3:28 .I'll continue watching had to comment. god damn those down shift high revs are sex, damn it sounds great
Diplomatic immunity!
