Just finished watching this. On Thursday I put in an order for a gt premium with a manual transmission. The performance pack and bronze package. Ordered it in Vapor blue. The mustang has always been my favorite car since I can remember. And this will be one of my 3 obtainable dream cars. When I was 21 I got my first one which was a 2005 dodge magnum rt. I just wanted a manual v8 mustang which this is. And a 06 manual Pontiac gto. My dream car if I win the lotto is a 69 boss 429. Also I really dig this new s650 I know it’s a new generation but I kinda think of it as the new edge face lift, or the 2011-14 face life on Gen 5. Kinda like a 6.5? I prefer this body over the s550. I grew to really like that body style, but it took a long while to grow on me. This s650 sold me the moment I saw one in person. I’m not the biggest fan of the digital dash, but it isn’t bad. Only thing that I totally dislike is the lack of physical hvac/radio controls. Mostly hvac. I currently drive a 03 ram 1500 so it will take a bit to get used to lol
same, i was never a ford fan til i got to drive 24 mustang and see it in person etc. I absolutely fell in love with it and im buying one as well, first v8 car!
Oh man, good for you, that setup sounds KILLER. I haven't yet seen Vapor Blue on the road, but I'll bet it looks incredible with the bronze package. Agreed on the looks for these S650s. Have a blast!
@@theemptygarage it looked way better in person than I thought it would. I honestly want to debadge the car once I get it. Mostly got it because the rims are expensive aftermarket and look pretty great. And vapor blue looks so much better in person. Like pictures/video do not do it justice.
Just picked up a '24 GT manual in Shadowblack with bronze pack. Also have active exhaust and red brembos! No recaros, but loving the ventilated seats. I wasnt sold on the huge screens till i sat in mine and used them, but now i have to say its one of my favorite things about the car! Also, active exhaust is a must; truly impressive for a stock car.
Even the base GT is a powerhouse 4 pot Brembo's on 14 inch front and rear rotors large single piston rear The pads on the front are only slightly smaller then the 6 pistons. Just need to update to the cooler and belly pan with the dark horse deflectors.
@@theemptygarage Yes indeed. I had a 1978 Camaro and a 1982 Trans AM when i was young. Now i just have a 2004 Mach 1 Mustang. American muscle cars have always been a favorite for me.
I'm always curious what's going on in the meetings where these decisions are made. I have to assume it's all about the money because Chevy is obviously capable of creating a Camaro that would compete strongly against the new Mustang.
If you want the V8, get the GT. If you don’t, you won’t go wrong getting the ecoboost. IMHO, spending $10K more just for the sound is not fiscally smart.
Haha the feeling, linear power, raw emotion and high revving from a N/A V8 cannot be replicated in a crap boost. POV: I own a 2019 GT. Totally worth it, wouldn’t even consider looking at an eco boost if I was buying an American muscle car.
True. Not fiscally smart. But I think even Dave Ramsey would agree that in this case, it's got to be the V8. There's so many cars you can get with a boosted four. But precious few with an NA V8 (are there any besides the Mustang?).
If you on a budget only reason to buy ecoboost. Cheaper Insurance, gas.. Majority limited to ecoboost due to financial situations. Ecoboost sounds bloody terrible by the way
I’m a life long Mustang fan. I’ve had an ‘86 SVO, an ‘04 cobra and now have ‘16 Shelby GT 350. Long live the Mustang.
Those are some serious Mustangs. Safe to assume the GT350 is spectacular?
@@theemptygarage yes it is. A dream come true.
Great looking car BRILLIANT we still waiting for it to come to Australia fantastic show thank you from Sydney Australia 🇦🇺
Thanks for watching!

Congrats on the purchase! Very jealous :)
Bronze package it is 🔥

Excellent point. Those are some monster brakes. Love this car!
W review
GM has always annoyed me with their start and stop mentality with the Camaro.
Agreed. It's a bummer that they dropped it considering how what Ford did with this Mustang. A new Camaro would've been amazing.

Fair point.
