2013-2014 Mustangs GT's are still the best looking till this day.
They are sexy!
@@RaitisRides indeed they are!
10-12 front end and 13-14 rear is the best
@@Hidden4Halo Yes!
100%
Purchasing this car is the best decision I’ve ever made in my life, I remember watching this video a few weeks before I bought it. I know it’s going to be one of the best GT models Ford ever made. A guy in a 67 Mustang showed up 2 hours after I did to buy this car, it was the only GT on the lot. thank god I got their first, and God bless America.
13 and 14 mustang will someday be what everyone wants just like fast back mustang 69 and 70 mustangs
I agree! Much better looking than the 2015 and on!
Yeah and i said this 3 yrs ago, that the 13-14 S197s are the best and if you got one, you better keep her, i had a 14 Mustang CVS 3.7 prem/PP race red w/blk canvas top and it was sitting on 255/35/20" street rrs and i kepted it closed to 3 yrs.and now i got a 2019.5 Mustang GT 5.0 6 sp prem/PP1 and its ok but not all out that they make the GT to be, truth is i miss my 2014 3.7 CVS S197 much more and all the neighbors just say is "why you got the GT, i liked your 14 CVS better."
I feel the newer mustangs aren’t nearly as mean looking as this one
AGREED!
they look more like a horse
What about the recently unveiled 2024 Mustang Dark Horse?
I’ve got a 2014 mustang gt/cs in blue with gray stripes. Manual transmission. Had it for almost 6 years now. 60k miles on it. Love it. Going to keep this car forever, until it’s a “new classic”. Stella Blue is her name, in case there are any other car + Grateful Dead enthusiasts out there 😂
Joe: Everybody happens to have a Mustang story even if you haven't owned one
Crowds:....
LOL
The first car I ever owned was a 1968 Mustang. The Mustang will always be special to me.
That is so cool!
The best is the 2013 and 2014 Mustang Gt500👌🏼🙏🏻
AGREED!
Well thanks for doing a review on my old mustang lol.
Aviator Kayla 🤙🏼
It was yours?
I have a 14 GTCS, had to buy it came with the Ford Racing handling pack, Flowmaster mufflers and a K&N intake.
To top it off, it came with all the original parts, had only 8k miles and picked it up for $28k.
Look around there are deals out there, don't buy new, buy single owner and slightly used, that's the smart money.
Good review Raiti!
Thanks for not talking about shopping or where you’re headed to take photos of the car. You get right to the car talk. Bravo.
New mustang are nice I just don't like the front of a new mustang
But that mustang is sick
that's my main gripe with the S550... if I had one of those, I'd swap the front bumper out asap
Thank you for sharing your input and perspective on this one!
Many people feel the same way!
Thank you I’m going to miss it
The S197 is Americanized versus the S550 that has a European design. Plan on getting a S197 after college or if I have enough money before college
Thanks Joe.....been waiting a long time for this one! Despite my pride n joy being an '05 GT, the '13/'14 really is the pick of the S197 bunch........and I'm a big fan of the Cali Special, even with the side vents ;) More older S197 reviews, please! :)
Saw this video in September and right after watching I searched up a 2014 gt mustang because I was done with my 2010 v6 and it’s baby 4.0 engine. Long story short the first thing that popped up was a Black gt/cs automatic convertible in Fort Lauderdale FL. I bought it about a week later and am happy that I saw this video because it is what ultimately made me choose that car. It also to my surprise when I went to test drive it was equipped with the nav system and heated seats. It never fails to attract attention even when a s550 is parked right next to me. Some time in 2020 I’m looking at doing these exact mods.
Congrats Try! Thanks for letting me share my passion with you!
Hello Joe I'm really glad to see that your reviewing another Mustang GT/ CS on Raitis Rides. Absolutely love the 2010-2014 Mustang and yes the 2018 - 2019 Mustang GT'S. Thanks Joe.
I am so glad you enjoyed this one Jay!
@@RaitisRides I know. I have a big heart for Mustang's and Camaros.
My first muscle car!! Awesome video Joe.
Thanks for sharing it this. As always, a great review.
Thanks Alec for taking the time to say that!
I have a 2007 as my first car and my goal is to get one of these. Beautiful interior for that year
Got one. Low mile but its a auto. Come buy the bitch 😂😂😂😂😂😂
63k
How much
Joe are you a mind reader? i was hoping for you to do a review on this car. i got mine at 15K Miles 4 years ago and is my daily driver. I have 99K miles right now everything stock. It still drives like the first day i bought it. I love it, Thanks for the review you made my day.
I am so glad that you like this one! I appreciate you watching!
Beautiful Vehicle! I love the white Cali look on this car.
The 2014 does have a big screen nav option on the GT/CS as well
I hope the car market gets better soon. I can't wait to jump back into a mustang
I had two of them. Loved them both!!!!!
Whitesnake 👍🏼, love the California Specials this is a really nice stang! Nice review I’m sure you sold this car for these guys.
Love it! I think the mods were tastefully done and it’s priced reasonably. I’d still haggle a little though. Thanks for sharing it Joe! 👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸
There is always room for negotiations!
Raiti's Rides absolutely!😎
5 years ago, I was a freshman in highschool lmao
And I was teaching in high school!
@@RaitisRides Haha
At the beginning of the year, or the end? I graduated last year
5 years ago I would have started being a high schooler in August
5 years ago I wasn’t paying child support.
You do all mustangs justice my guy! Love your vids
Thanks Robert! I really appreciate that!
That is so awesome of you to say!
Best car honest car review ever . Thanks
If it was a MANUAL it would be a HELL of lot SWEETER
I saw one at a car show and fell in love its my personal favorite I would just change the front grill
I am so glad that you liked this one!
Like the hood on the 2014 better than my 2019 cs. Like all the mustangs you done.
00-04 sn95’s are my personal favorite appearance wise. But these year s197’s are my runner ups
I just bought this same exact car , same color, same year and everything and it is absolutley fucking amazing I love this car.
Cant forget that JLT catch can installed in there, adds at least 24hp
Actually it's 24.5HP! LOL
That looks sick..
Personally own a 14 gt cs, and glad this video gives it the credit it deserves! Ford killed it that year between the looks of the 13/14 with the Cali special package !
What color is yours! I am so glad that you liked this one Frank! It is a great Mustang!
Raiti's Rides I have a race red one! Really sticks out, not to many of them around! Check out @lacygtcs on insta if your interested in taking a look! Keep making the quality videos !
That is a hot color Frank! I will do!
Is it fast stock?
I think the most depressing thing about this video is that I’m purchasing this same car in 2022. With 79k miles and they are asking $25k ! Like if I could go back in time I would !!!
In 17 I came across a 13 PW Boss 302 with 1800km on it. A too good to be true deal, that was true! I was on the fence, but my lovely wife encouraged me to buy it, and it's still in the garage. So thankful we did, because I cannot believe the value these gen cars have held, and interest they're receiving. Feels like the eighties again on 60's muscle.
i like the used performance car reviews, like i would buy.
Cool car especially for cruising around listening to Whitesnake. 😎🤘
You got that right!
And it also has the oil catch can👍🏽
He says you can’t get a fancy infotainment center in that but actually you can if you option it that way or add it to the car after you buy the car
I love my side vents
Will buy one end of this year 👌👍🎊
Awesome job!
Great review Joe, the S197 is outstanding
Thanks! It really is!
They ride like a truck though compared to the s550 lol
@@Jimmyxsx
Annnnnnnnnnnnnnnnd the S550 is a pile of steaming horse feces
Owners from coast to coast are dealing with cylinder wall scoring, metal shavings in their engines, oil pans, and are having to embrace the world famous BBQ Tick, that Ford continues to say is something that is normal.
Some owners have had to deal with an active exhaust that's no longer active
Not having their vehicle for months, while still having to make the monthly payment on it, while Ford Tech's try to locate where the BBQ Tick is coming from.
Good luck trying to justify that train wreck
#TeamS197
@@southdetroitentertainment7741 lmao😂 that was the first batch of 2018 Coyotes stupid they are all good now. The 2015-2019 S550 is a monster. It can take over 900whp on stock internals s197 limit is 650whp. Stangmode has beat the shit out of his 2018 S550 and has had no engine problems so youre dumb lol
this my dream car...
Me to❤
Please review the 2013-2014 GT500 it would be nice.
Wanting to get into 13-14 gt soon!
and ill still buy one of these!
My 2019 California Special will literally be here in a day or 2😃
Love it !
Thanks for letting me share it with you!
Yeah I dig the way it looks no cap joe, though yeah like a commenter said no warranty :/ lol but I mean she’s a pretty sweet cruiser.
I am glad tat you liked this one!
Beautiful car, however it does have some issues:
1) 5 owners in 5 years - Why was this car passed around so much?
2) If/when there are issues with the engine, the tuning will most likely need to be rollback to factory default since there is no tuning device provided
3) No idea what tuning was done or the quality of work for those mods
4) Been in an accident. Shows as minor damage...
All in all a nice vehicle but I think the modifications is what would keep me away from this one.
Thanks for sharing your input and perspective! I really appreciate you watching!
Yeah my sister was cut off by a trailer
It was in the front driver fender
@Frank Hernandez in the past (1980s) maybe but with select shift it is the best of both worlds. Automatics have been better than manuals for quite some time now and thr MT82s are chinese made and can't handle as much power actually. Around 2010s the autos caught up to manuals...ugh I remember trying to drive a new edge auto and that was pretty terrible with the already underpowred v8 it had. 65-late 2000s a manual is def the way to go.
Please show the actual start up of the car(s), then follow it with the revs! Nice Mustang
Will do!
I like this car
Thanks for letting me share it with you!
The GT500 is the car to get. One of my Coworkers has one. All black. I think his was a 2014 model.
I can't argue with that!
Quang Lam if money isnt a issue of course. Everyone doesnt have 30-40k for one
godgiven this is an older model. It will be used and won’t cost $30k.
I was looking for a Deep Impact Blue Cali special with low miles, 6 speed manual for about 6 months before none popped up. So I ended up buying a 2014 Deep Impact Blue GT premium. No complaints, but then the very next week, a Cali Special just the way I wanted it popped up.
Well doen Christian!
The grey roof and mirror cover isn’t for all Gt/cs 14s in white though or any color
The mirrors and roof were wrapped. They don’t come stock like that on the California Special lol
Its definetly pushing more than 400 to the wheels if it has a tune which im guessing it does from the previous owner if they put those mods on.
Just depends about the tune.
I’m getting something similar once I graduate boot camp
Probably my next car...
Please review the 2015 50th Anniversary Editions with the cashmere white seats!!! Is that the one to really be buying??!!!!
I will try to track one down for you!
You should do a video on the 2017 ford fusion sport
I need to find one!
I’m going to have to zonk you on the gray roof and gray mirrors on that white, those did not come as a factory option with the California Special.
Do you prefer Manuel or automatic? Better quality? For 5.0 GT
05-09 is the bomb for me.
“Can listen to White Snake and whatnot” 😂
I just recently discovered that my hood is non magnetic, tried to hang a magnet light from it and didn't stick.
The only thing magnetic are the hinges and the latch, is this factory?
Automatic is the only zonk 4 me. Sharp Mustang, regardless!
AGREED!
Its not 1986 anymore, Larry Bird isnt in the NBA and manual transmissions arent the better option anymore.
@@jdigitalseven7 they’ll learn when they shatter that glass mt82 trying to outshift the auto trans 😂
If they dont sell this by my 18th bday im gettin it
I hope your birthday is soon cause it probably won’t last long. Good luck!🍀
@@LS1007 haha ok its a good price for that gt i want it but i gotta stack up dis bread
When is your birthday! You will loe this thing!
@@RaitisRides next year june 30
@@RaitisRides might be too late by then
I can see why people like the S197 coyote powered GT's more than the '18 up 3rd gen coyote visually...but lets face it, stock for stock a '14 with the A6 gets smoked down a 1/4 mile against an '18 and up with the A10 transmission, IRS and direct fuel injection. So choosing a late model Mustang is a matter of taste...do ya wanna be faster and do it without a live axle rear or do you wanna have a car that looks a little nicer sitting still? See my avatar for my GT of choice... Nice review Joe! If I were closer, I'd drop mine off for a review.
looks played a big roll in me getting a 2014 5.0
Great input!
They are hot!
@@RaitisRides Thank ya man, I appreciate that. Keep up the good work! Mixing it up with cars like this '14 profiled on your channel is a great line up expansion and break from all new cars at the same time. A real win-win.
@@buckeyeman7631 Oh trust me I totally agree with you! I want to feature them all!
Ford failed to put heavy duty connecting rods on 2014 gt
I love my 2014 mustang 5.0 California special!
Fast,
Fast?
@@camarosaregay7943 stock right now but still faster than most cars.. Im putting a PMAS cold air intake and getting it tuned on the dyno at Browning tuning and performance in Georgia. Im putting a paxton supercharger on it with income tax 😎 even if the wife says no lol 😆. 🇺🇲
High-Rise 850 lol my wife would never. I’m still I a kid in my head, I love cars
2014 Mustang is my favorite year! I can’t wait to own one!
I am so glad that I could share this one with you!
Hey! That’s my sisters old car!
this is the one
I am so glad that you liked this one!
I want it
It's there for the taking!
Mine looks almost exactly like that
That is so cool! I really like the style!
I have enjoyed driving it, mine came with the large touch screen display from factory, also mine has a white roof and white side mirrors
Haha you drove a stock automatic lol. I have a '14 Cali Special with 578 RWHP w/a Ford Performance supercharger (after installing forged Ford Performance short block and de-tuning from 725 RWHP 🌽 corn-tune to a 91 octane tune) with a 6-speed.
I promise you the s197 from 13-14 will become a classic desirable
Had one of these arround 2015 and couldnt pay it so it got repossessed. I was recently looking for one on november this year and couldnt find one with low miles. I had to buy a 2021 gt pp1 for 59k new i wish i could have found one of these 14s for 25k
Gorgeous Mustang Joe! Big fan of the S197's, particularly the 13-14 model years. Very sexy. LOVE the wheels. Great video as always!! And just remember, if you zonk it they will come!! 🤙🏻🤙🏻
When i was a kid i thought cs was compact size
Hmm needs some exhaust done
For 25K, 420 HP, 5.0L V8, and only 28,000 miles, i would not mind driving that.
Juan Ruiz no
Very fast
My OCD can't get over the pony logo not centered!!
Issue here is with those modifications the car was clearly tuned. Where’s the hand device? That car is valued too high for a sale from a dealership especially with out the hand device and no exact power numbers.
That is a very good point!
Ratis ride are you sure it weights 3700 pounds i read it weights 3600 is the cali special heavier
Good
those are AMR charcoal wheels from American muscle lol, not bad, i prefer the black wheels lol.
Where are you located and how much?
What about the philly special?
I see what you did there!
What rims are these?
I'm sure ur aware that another car reviewer Doug DeMuro gives the cars a Doug score....what if u had a Raitis Rating? I would love to see that
I agree, I know of other channels that poke a little fun that way too, its cool to be smart clever!
I will get something like that together!
@@buckeyeman7631 thanks for the feedback!
I barely need one of these, no more modern pony I need that.
White looks nice but my wife has a white car and it shows dirt so bad! The door sills, the area around the gas cap, and when a bird craps anything other than white poop, it looks terrible. I'll take a CS in black, like my truck, TYVM!
That side vent being fake, means that you will have speed reducing drag when you're trying hit the 200 MPH mark. No?
This car is not hitting 200 MPH any time soon!
LOL! I was kidding.@@RaitisRides
Just drove a 2014 with a 6-speed today and it only has 7,700 miles, asking 26K for it
Is it fast?
Love these Stangs and im more of a Camaro guy
Yea dude
I dont think it weights 3722 pounds i think it weight 3600 something no?
