For everyone roasting me about being on my phone. My notes for this videos talking points were on there🏁
What an excuse!!! Make sure to tell that to tell the officer that once they pull you over.
Justin Gregory who’s mans is this someone get him
If you certified to multitask and drive then you certified..... If not.... Don't hate on those that can....
Keep your hands on the wheel FFS
Do it different then because when you don't notice that little kid or family pet because you're looking at your phone you'll regret it for the rest of your life ...PLEASE ...
If you’ve owned a Mustang and fell in love, you will always find yourself either owning one or missing one for the rest of your life.
Well spoken.

Miss mine so much wanna get back in so bad looking at buying one again shortly
You'Ll fINd YOUrseLf eATinG A CRowD FoR lAunCh hAHa iM So FunnY... shut
I miss my 07,got rear ended bed and totaled :( .Everytime I think of my mustang it’s like missing an old girlfriend that I loved .I know the new ones are way faster but I loved the 3v and the body ,they sound great with cams.Im thinking of getting a gt performance pack or a used 350. I’ve been obsessing over the gt350 but they don’t make them anymore .
The reason why so many mustangs crash isn't really because of the car. The fact that these cars are so cheap and easy to get and make power is a blessing and a curse. A lot people come out of highschool or upgrade from their 200 hp commuter car and immediately jump into a 400hp monster and think they can WOT around a corner because that's what they're used to doing in their weaker commuter car. If your putting down 400+ hp in a RWD car, it's dangerous to just slam on the throttle out of no where. I mean I have a 300 hp Z and my back end still wants to swing out if I'm not careful. I just feel like the reason the mustangs are known for crashing is because a lot of inexperienced people are easily able to get their hands on them and they think they are invincible.
Damn what kind of commuter cars are you getting that have 200 horsepower :/? (I'm broke btw)
Hey no matter what kind of car u drive so long it is RWD, u have too have respect for the horsepower especially if it's over 400 bhp, like I loved a mustang I had before n it was with 480bhp on the rear wheels, but that on was dangerous because of the motor n the mustang was a 1969 mach one n the sound in that one was much more brutal than that car on this video
@@kiretheyoutuber6535 Ya maybe I was over shooting on the 200hp lol. I was thinking of like newer civics and accords. Older versions have even less. Which even further proves the point of people jumping into a car that has 3-4 times the amount of power they are used to and think they can just throw it around.
That’s why I am going for a ecoboost mustang to gain more experience in driving after a while I will get a gt
@@Brando8654 I'd say you should be fine getting the GT first, as long as the owner understands what their dealing with then that's a good start. An ecoboost itself has enough power and torque to still lose control like the GT. As long as you take correct precautions then you should be fine. It's the idiots who DON'T do that are the one's who crash. Like whenever I do pulls in a car I'm not too familiar with I wouldn't pull with the car in a gear lower than third and any rpm's lower than 3k. Usually 2nd and 1st have too much tq and cause the wheels to spin out. As I got more comfortable I would start doing 2nd gear pulls, sometimes 1st but 1st is kind of tough on the tranny lol.
Just bought a 2020 GT used (its 2022) I thought why not. I've had three 6 cylinder models 2010, 2012, 2016. Tried the over rated ecoboost. NAH. No torque. I'm pumped to finally get the GT. It rocks. 10 speed auto, Put on big oversized rear tires, CAI, bigger throttle body, bigger rear Spoiler, etc etc, decals. Hood latches. And some carbon fiber parts. Last car of my life probably. I am almost 70. Detroit Guy. Everyone asks, "why don't you get a pick up?". They just don't understand. It's in the blood. Got a harley too. Going out in a bang. Always go for the things in life that make you come alive.. Was a paratrooper in the Army. Nuff said. ENJOY LIFE GUYS~@! Gotta treat yourself. No one else is gonna do it for ya.
and i hope to do what you did and just enjoy my life with vehicles, im 21 as a starting mechanic and i know ill own what i dream, enjoy your life too!
I just turned in a lifted Jeep for a 2020 GT with no regrets
i might trade my tacoma in for one
I might get a new one soon
Lol I’m not the only one! I’m considering in selling my Lifted FJ cruiser 4x4 to buy a 5.0
Might trade my lifted 16 Chevy 4x4 for one

"$46 per 🐎 power" This is how all cars should be measured!

“This car is harder to crash then you think”. Proceeds to get phone out.
He's about to live up to the mustang stereotype 🤣
Which further proves his point he’s not even worried about crashing
"Observe"
Sulu_S2000 Bro I got my mustang yesterday and I granny drove every corner and still thought it was gonna take over and mow people down
This and it makes me think of the saying a manual transmission is safer because your hands are always busy
I just picked up my 2019 Bullitt yesterday and I am totally obsessed. First manual and I’m loving it
Have fun being stranded on the side of the road in 3 years
Perk Here hater
Perk Here doubt that highly the 2019 coyote is actually pretty reliable they can last 300000 miles if you take care of it
@Austin Quillen any car can last with maintenance go to a car meet most cars that crash are muscle car but nobody talks about hondas blowing parts when doing their little rev limit
Austin Quillen what’s the point it’s all about what the consumer wants
Never thought I'd buy a mustang, always had German and Japanese cars - Randomly bought a GT350 and its the best thing ever.
That Flat plane crank & 8250 redline... 🔥👌🏻
Jeez I wish I could randomly spend 65k
Preston Quimby Wasn’t new LOL
@@wunderbread_t4r well it's still quite expensive compared to my '16 charger rt😂
Good for you
Literally gonna buy a Mustang because of you been grinding working a lot of hours 🤞
Facts bruh finna grind these hours to get a coyote
Literally same my guy excited to get my mustang
bro i love my coyote , the grind is worth it man
Mini Trick Shots hell yeah, I just got a 2014 5.0 with 40k miles for a decent price about 2 months ago. Worth every penny.
Mustang owners get alot of crap just a heads up.
This car will be my first buy into the automotive scene, thank you.
You won't regret it but be careful because it's so much power for a first sports car and rwd. But it's a blast
it’s a fun ass car bro have fun
You’re gonna love every second you spend behind the wheel
I have a similar story and conclusion to yours. I actually started following your videos when I had my Mazdaspeed 3. I then upgraded to the Mustang GT and I couldn't be happier. I think its a great car-enthusiast option. Having a V8 and RWD with a manual is something that every car person should check of his list. Cheers
I have always wanted a mustang. This just makes me want one more.
I bought a 94 Cobra new and still own it, now I just purchased a 2020 Shelby 350R 🥰 absolutely ❤️ Mustangs!!
Great job with the presentation! "This car just wants to go" and "There's just not enough road" are two descriptions I use often when describing driving my Mustang. It was great to hear you share that summary in your video!
Bruh facts!!!
Great video! Very informative! The acceleration and V-8 sound as the Mustang GT's revs climb past 4,000, 5,000, 6,000 and 7,000rpm is a drug!
Also a jdm/euro guy... and I bought my first 21 GT. Your videos helped with research and motivation. I was looking at Audi R8s, GTRs and more. I took a leap of fate on the Mustang... Wow... I can't even find the words. Great video content!
Great video man!! My grandpa had a 12’ Mustang GT premium with 90k miles. Runs strong and the thing is people that have cars with 110-130k miles still want 15k for them.
The whole stress when issues start popping up in the sti. I felt that haha
this was an amazing vid. i just purchased my first mustang GT last week. its a 2016 and i love it. i use to have a v6 and theres a massive difference in everything
I enjoyed this video! Keep up the good work! You interviewed me at a car show in Anaheim 1-2 years ago lol I just found you on TH-cam! Definitely resonated with this video. Owned a 2017 Si and a 2018 WRX. FWD, AWD, and now RWD respectively. The stang definitely keeps you on your toes. Just subscribed
ayyyyy my fav youtuber is back! Currently wearing ur 4th of july shirt!
These 2nd and 3rd Gen coyotes handle power insanely well, 750whp on a car you can daily drive and rev to 8k constantly and it just eats it up. The can run 1/4 miles is in the 8’s.. on a stock motor. And if you’re nice to em they’re easily gonna get 20mpg highway.
Thank you for this brother, I chilled here at my pad while pausing and letting a lot of the things you said sink in. After so many reviews, this one has me convinced. I've needed a Mustang since yesterday!
By far one of the most helpful Mustang videos out there. Thanks man!
Great attitude. I was a child of the 60's. I have had several Mustangs and even a 67 Shelby GT-500 that I restored. Now a 65 Shelby Cobra (615 HP/2300 lbs) and restoring a 69 Mach1. Now I absolutely want a new Mustang Mach1 or 2016/17 Shelby GT350. Everything you say is true and I also have always wanted a Porsche 911. Keep doing what you are doing Cameron, love the content.
Proud to be a part of the CS Journey. 👌🏼
PERSPECTIVE my guys, great video love the information and how it was laid out. I have an st and looking into an rs, also the gt now!
Bro! You had a Speed3 the same time i did. I had a WRX before that, you ended up getting one, and now i own a ‘20 Roushcharged GT and I’m obsessed!
I went from a 2017 bmw 330i sports line to a manual 2018 ecoboost base model. I know it’s an ecoboost but I got it for a really good price then I went full boltons and pro tune to 95 octane. I love this car with all my heart. The manual trans feels great downshifts are amazing the only thing I’m missing is that v8 sound but one day I’ll trade in for a GT. Lesson is buy a mustabg
Great video! Just sold my 2011 hatch STI. Really want to get into a 5.0. So true about the stress on the back or your mind!
Just bought a 2020 PP2, 401a package, awesome car, Love it!
dude I'm so glad you uploaded lol. I hope yo're well
Love all the builds on this channel. Mustangs and Z cars are my favorite
Agree. Just bought my own 2020 gt and love everything bout it!
You’re a great channel, shocked your not more popular. Hope to run into you some time in the valley, much love!
I have to agree, I drove Import growing up from turbos civics to supras. But when i finally trade in my sti for a GT350 I have to say worth every penny and the horsepower for the bucks is totally worth it. Own it for 3 years nows.
I’m glad you younger guys are coming around... I get it about the Japanese cars and it’s nice having all wheel drive in the rain and snow but you can do very little to a Mustang and have a car that will run with most anything and be reliable. If I were you and you like jamming gears, get yourself a short throw aftermarket shifter. They spring load the gate and you can really do some nice shifts without missing gears and they have the adjustable stops on them so when you shift hard you don’t bend the shift forks,the older ones with the 5 speed transmission that was a common problem and if you didn’t do anything after the forks bent the transmission would fail because the gears won’t fully engage.They are pretty easy to install if you can follow directions and have a few basic hand tools.I’m an old geezer but I’ve had many Mustangs and enjoyed the hell out of them. They SUCK in the snow if you live in the north and you have to be careful in the rain because the back tires will brake loose at 80 to 100 in the rain pretty easily I’ve owned a few old Mustangs from the 60’s and my first brand new car was an 82 GT. I’ve had an 84,86,90 GT’s and I have a 93 Cobra with a 9lb centrifugal supercharger and a few other minor things that pulled a little over 400 horsepower to the wheels on a dyno and will smoke the hell out of the tires in the first three gears. You gotta remember the Fox body cars are over 1000 pounds lighter than the newer ones and that’s a huge difference for acceleration and braking. I’m a recently retired auto mechanic with over 40 years experience with cars so if you ever need help feel free to ask me about anything car related.
Very informative! I have 6 months left in the Middle East. I know basic information about cars. I was going to get a truck when I came back to the states. But I really want a mustang😭ever since I was a kid. What kinda mustang do you recommend? From 2010 to 2015?
@@minitank2538 yeah generally the newer one you can afford the better, definitely get a 5.0 overhead cam 2011 I think was the first year for that and then about 2014-15 had the new chassis with independent rear end, if you like flying around corners those sure handle nice if you want to straight line race the old solid rear axle is better for that. I assume ur military,thanks for your service and come home safe. 👍🏻
I just found your video.
Really enjoyed it.
I owned in a Mustang Shelby 1967 (a present from my uncle when turning 21), which is now in my nephew’s garage in Santa Monica. That was 25 years ago. I am now 50, divorced with one kid, living by myself in North Africa, and having a test-drive appointment tomorrow with a Mustang dealer. -- I know it’s a midlife crisis. But F it. I love Mustang!
I am glad to hear that you took a pause and do some thinking during the Pandemic. That’s what down time is for: To reorient ourselves.
Peace!
A little late to this vid, but excellent review. I like how you made the comparisons to other car brands. I love my Challenger but this helped me get an idea about the differences if I were to go from it to a Mustang.
Just bought my first car. 2013 Golf R. Love it to death and have big plans with it. If I could’ve gotten any car I would’ve gone with the newer mustang gts, but I’m 16 and apparently the insurance companies think I would drive the car quite fast and they’d be dead right 😂. Plan for me is to wait till after college then buy myself a nice gt. Great vid bro 💪🏻
They aint think they know u will and kill somebody
I didn’t wanna buy one cause everyone on base has a mustang 😂 bought a corvette instead
Yuck. It better be the C8
I want a mustang Bc I can actually mod it and it’s modern but everyone has one plus hardly any performance mods beside boosting it, thinking about c5z but just not modern and hardly any mods besides performance mods:(
Eyhab Hamid get what makes you happy
If you got that kinda of money should've gotten a Maserati
DEADTXWN being 18 years old is making that hard 💀, even thou I’m out here doing better then most people, looking for cars like that, good thing I got a daily bc my current car was getting 9 mpg
Went from a ‘14 STI and couldn’t be happier. All talking points in this vid about going from STI are 💯 accurate! I Knew I missed rwd/V8 combo, and this ‘18 coyote w/MT80 does the trick 🤪
Man.. I’ve had my 16 for a while now. Let me say that it stills leaves me with a smile on my face when I drive it. There are many times where I want to drive nice and smooth, but yea you’re right. The car is always angry and just wants to go 😍
I just sold my 2016 GT PP, same colour as yours. Definitely regret it but I needed a truck for winters here in Canada
Very cool!
Great vid Cam!
I own a 2019 Mustang GT. I can say i absolutely love it! Really a blast to drive!
My dream car was always a mustang since I was in middle school.. at 33 I finally got one ( an ecoboost) and I am so happy. Any HP is better than my Ford Fusion but even with many on the road ( GT ) included it’s still a classic car
Ecoboost lol 😂
Oof
Cam: “I will be touching on the people who crash these cars” The people who crash mustangs: *👁👄👁*
When you said that at the beginning about being a JDM and euro guy I couldn’t relate more. I’m exploring getting a mustang and this is the first vid I came across and I think I’m sold. I’ve been looking for cheap horsepower and keep getting drawn back to the mustang. Never thought I would actually get one but I’ve honestly always wanted one since I was a kid so why the fuck not. Might pull the trigger boys.
Me and you relate so much haha I just bought a clean 2014 gt and I always said mustangs were garbage til I actually drove one and then from there on fell in love with the power
The s550 Mustang is a great car. I bought one new in 2017. Coyotes are definitely not known for torque though. They have great power but they need some revs.
A great car at a great value. I recently dropped a VMP blower on mine. Now there is real torque in it.
For American V8s yeah, but comparatively speaking to Japanese and European cars, it is pretty torquey.
Get a 2018 Manifold on it and a Lund tune... You will absolutely love it even more.
Big difference??
Subscribed, I am an AMG guy with older gen models, don't ever buy new cars myself. Anyway, the last few years I have been looking at mustangs just because of how much you get for the money and they are pretty good cars overall. Maybe one day I'll own one, your points were spot on thx!
36 year old checking in. Always owned Jdm and euro cars. Just picked up a 2018 mustang gt performance pack and loving it!
I like how you make driving stick look so natural. I suck at it so badly. 😂
If you don’t daily drive it, it’s probably why you suck
Robyne U true, I daily mine and it’s natural to me to the point where I feel weird and find it unsatisfying driving an auto
@@luisuribe5432 Just bought it. Still learning. But thanks for the encouragement.
I bought my first manual mustang a month or so ago (for my daily driver). The amount of skill you gain over time is pretty wild and you dont even realize. Im not saying im amazing by any means but just keep at it man
Wish I could drive a manual. My legs are too weak for the clutch do to the condition I have
I said I'd never buy a mustang. Ended up buying an ecoboost and I've been having fun modding it ever since. Absolutely love it.
How r feeling now
Like a lesbian@@mdnazmul-vm9ib
I’m looking at buying a 2008 Mustang GT and I’m impressed about how good the different points on mustangs you brought up are. Thank you.

Nice video, I can’t wait till when I get one!
I’ve had my Race Red Ecoboost for six months. I know it’s not a V8 but I love it anyway.
But they sound awful lol
eco boosts are lowkey sick
@@GreatBirdOfHope they are cheap and they look cool. they get you from A to B. Eco boost look like the most expensive mustangs but are cheaper. why would I get a faster car for more money, not like im racing anybody damn.

I absolutely love my 2021 S550. This thing is a monster and an awesome foundation for bolt on HP
Definitely looking at getting one of these eventually. Thanks for your thoughts and sharing your experience. Biggest downside for me living in PA and having a family… can’t drive it in the winter and can’t put a car seat in the back so I have to afford 2 cars and and another parking space. That’s where I like having my WRX
You can though I fit my sons car seat back there no problem. Daughter is in a booster seat to.
this was a great video and the mustang sounded great! I'm surprised you didn't mention the Ecoboost at all because of their high tuning potential and it'd make for a great car for those euro/jdm guys crossing over who love driving 4 cylinder turbos. The EcoBoost also has a lighter front end which makes the handling even better than the already good GT. With my EcoBoost, I threw in another $1,000 and I'm making 320 whp and 390 wheel torque with a pro tune by PD tuning. Just something to think about in your next video if you bring up mustangs again!
I've had my stock 2017 EcoBoost premium for 5 years now. She is fun to drive and has plenty of power for my needs. I've heard that PD tuning is the way to go if I ever want more power.
I’d maybe consider buying another ford... whenever they decide to make a transmission that doesn’t eat shit on all their consumer vehicles.
Dodge aswell some of their cars are straight shit, my dad changed the tranny on his avenger and ram before 100k miles and i changed mine on my 08 mustang gt at 74k miles doing a burnout lol but it's the only things they've broken, on my aunts Silverado shiiit she probably already changed every piece in there as far as iknow a bunch of electric stuff especially lights and overheating problems, she's going to buy a camry as soon as her husband comes back from deployment
MT-82 is such a hit or miss trans. Iv driven mine with 75k miles without any issues. My buddy has 165k miles in his, also no issues. Another buddy with 80k miles, no issues. Then my best friend has lots of issues, same year as mine and his car is at about 70k miles. Sucks but my experience with it is great.

Don’t discount the ecoboost either, they are both really good. For the type of driving I do I went with a 2016 eco with almost no miles on it for 21k. I was going from a 2015 wrx, which was fun, but expensive. The wrx may have been a bit better in the backroads, but I can’t explain why the mustang just feels soo good with rwd. I’ve taken corners fast in my eco, with some light suspension mods and it hugs soooo nice.
Lol that's a joke right? 😅
@@thedon9670 Naa owned two wrx’s and the mustang was a better driving car hands down. The wrx’s were rattle traps that I regret buying and glad I got rid of them.
My dream Stang is a 16' GT! Or a 17'. But hopefully in a couple years when I graduate college I'll be able to get one! 😍😍 And they'll be a bit cheaper!

love this video. awesome perspective. was personally on the fence on the mustang. been an "import guy". now I"m older and just want a fun value, and a manual v8 convertible sounds pretty nice here in the mountainous areas. this video helped.
Good review. I think the best value is getting the 2nd generation 2018+ GT with Premium and Performance Package.
Looks like your car shifts really well, or easy to shift anyway. How do you feel about the 2020/2021 new models with the manual transmission? Has Ford improved the MT82 or would you think it is fine and will be reliable for a daily driver if you don't beat on it? I really want a manual but I also want a car that will be reliable and economical to own. Also, I do value naturally aspirated motors and rear wheel drive.
I love how for 25ish thousand dollars you can get a car with a modern fully electronic dashboard and some fatty horsepower.
Wyatt Shepard mines was 15k lol picked it up yesterday
DEADTXWN what year? Also did it have the digital dashboard?
Wyatt Shepard 2017 But No Digital Dash. There’s An Aftermarket Upgrade For It If Anyone Chose So, But I Love The Standard Dash Better.
where tf are you finding them for 15k seriously wondering lol
Jacob Hooks at a Hyundai dealership in Weatherford Texas. Their mustangs sell fast because they’re always 18 below. I happened to get the cheapest one and they had brake swapped, modded the suspension, they pretty much touched everything up on it and let me walk out with 15k.
I did buy one. '19 GT. A few mods. Runs 9.8s @145.
Man watching this video got me so excited lol.thanks man
Honestly,... the "everyone has a mustang" was my excuse but i think im going to go ahead and grab the 5.0..
I actually just made the switch from a 350z to a mustang like 2 months ago.
Do you prefer the z or the pony ?
Beautiful looking cars and I like the way the old ones look too
Everything you said makes sense. Enjoyed the video. Which catback exhaust do you have installed?
I remember saying that... I’m on my 3rd one😅
Dang why 3rd one
I was a Subaru nut for so long, loved my bug eye to death, sadly it was too unreliable so I sold it and got a 2011 mustang GT. I can tell you there’s no way I’ll go back.
Same
this was the best "should you buy a mustang gt" video I've seen (watched about 20-30 by now)
funnily I am also a JDM/Euro guy (from Europe) and currently deciding between B7 RS4 and 2015 Mustang GT Premium (no Perf Pack) for about the same money (Mustang slightly lower mileage) and weirdly I am leaning more to the Mustang for a daily car (was also considering B8.5 and B9 S5 before but didn't want to spend that much, also was thinking gen1 mazdaspeed3 as a cheap fun daily as a replacment for my 2009 Acura TSX CU2 which is nice brisk car but I am really bored by it after owning hot hatches)
the RS4 probably would be a better investment since it's fairly low mileage with bucket seats, flat bottom steering wheel, solar sunroof etc
but I think for a comfotable and fun daily the mustang might be better for me
I love mine! Bought it last year with 29k miles bone stock for $23k can’t beat the amount of car you get for that price.
Sti maintain their value like a gold
When I got my 2020 gt, I tried to find a used 2017 and it was practically like buying a new car.
I have a focus ST, Stage 3 full bolt ons, I love it, its a great car but you're correct its never going to get the power you want out of it unless you throw money at it. I'm looking for a second car and its between a vette and a GT mustang. I have the same opinions you did. "Its basic, everyone has one." but the price point is such bargain and youre not helping me make my decision easier. Think I just need to drive one and figure it out.
I also have a focus st. For the type of person I am though. I love the ST. I bought it because there is a lot of potential for them and easy to build, fun to build and somewhat reliable. And for me I like something I can build and rely on. Plus I wanted something practical. Something my family can get in. No it’s not rear wheel drive and that does suck. But it’s a lot of fun to drive, build and very practical.
Jordan Sullivan I agree!! I’m a “old guy now” almost 30. Hot hatches are something I found to love and enjoy their practically! They’re great daily, performance oriented cars with some personality that everyone seems to respect from younger to older generations. It’s just breaking into the scene and seeing everyone throw their love and attention to them! Tbh, I think performance wagons would do well in the United States.. they just need to be more accessible and price wise inline with hot hatches!! Until then, enjoy your hot hatch!!
I drove a 2020 convertible ecoboost ob my vacation in Miami. It was my first experience with a mustang. I was surprised with how powerful it is. I can only imagine what a V8 can do. Also, it was surprisingly comfortable, compared to my civic
I just bought a brand new 2020 Mustang GT, manual, financed 0% for 72 Months with a premium maintenance plan for an extra $2500, covers everything except my tires for 72 months 100,000 miles, including a clutch
how much? if you don’t me asking i’ve been looking at the new 2020s just trying to see what deals other people got.
Yikes
I did that maintenance plan for my focus st, kinda nice peace of mind
I love my 2016 Mustang GT. I also love my 2019 STI. Why deny yourself these automotive pleasures?
Because people want to dick ride one specific car. And most can’t afford more than one lol
I miss my 15'GT. Best car I ever owned
What do you drive now?
17 focus ST1. Really fun car and I like it a lot but I dont think anything will compare to that 15 GT. Was basically my within reach dream car
Jacob Lockwood damn man.. why did you let it go if you mind me asking? Those focus ST are great cars too
Divorce my brother
I'm 18 and over the summer I'm doing remodeling for about 17-20 an hour on 39 hours. I'm hoping to save about 4-5k and then sell my car to get an s550 gt premium. If I can find a 10 speed in my price range best believe I'm getting it but if not I'm not upset with the other transmission options
Nice analysis!
