Project Subzero is back! My 2018 Mustang GT has been in my possession for around 5,000 miles now since August and I decided to give you guys an update on my likes, dislikes, and my thoughts of the S550 Mustang experience - especially in comparison to my 2013 Mustang GT S197. We also go into detail about the 10 speed automatic transmission, the ride quality, the coyote 5.0, and the upgrades we have made to the car so far such as the coil overs, spoiler, grille deletes, chin spoiler, Euro tail lights, and many more! In the end was Subzero worth the buy? Let's talk about it. Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching the video about my mufffftang.
Hey David absolutely love your channel and content dude. Just curious what made you go with the 510’s over the 500’s coilovers? I’ll be dropping my s550 in a few months on FA.
If you were looking for some good footage and you want to see 100 mustangs at the same time we are renting out a air museum in my mustang club and doing a photo shoot there
ThatDudeinBlue your welcome and the white mustang looks super nice as is I like how you stayed classy with the wheels,
Really bro. You are David "That Dude in Blue" Patterson.
Sub-Zero should be blue too... there's a color called "Ice blue". Maybe that should work perfectly to keep the rep with your name 😉😁
Leave it stock and let it be your reliable daily driver ... your other cars are the play toys!!!
Bruhhhh, did you just apologize for rain drops? You may as well just move to Canada with that much politeness
Lol
😂😂😂😂
he'll have to apologize for snow next lol
Stay tuned for the time when he apologize for the coronavirus 🤦♂️😂
Man you want to be careful moving to Canada. You might find a squirrelly 500hp f150 you can drive all year is just as fun or more than a mustang. And when the snow gets too deep you just drive your sled off the back and go
You think Heated Wheels are a weird feature? Try heated mirrors! Up North, they're great for defrosting our side mirrors while on the move, but whenever I told my Southerner friends about them, they keep thinking, "Why would you need your mirrors to be heated?" 9/10 they kept thinking I was referring to the interior rearview mirror 😂
Never heard anyone not know what those are and they’re not really made for ice or snow.. they’re made for keeping water off them too. Turn them on while it’s raining and you’ll know what I mean. Truckers know they’re a necessity
But bladed
But Bladed Weres the miata?
How's the Miata?
Y’all got heat?
Its strange not seeing you in a hat or something blue for that matter
I’m tellin ya man. This white car is changing him
and without a beard
Cooper Boehm like Spider-Man and venom
maybe b/c he doesn't want us to have as much eye strain

Out of all the stangs, the S550 receives the most drastic transformation when lowering springs are installed
TheReal NateDogg probably because of the independent suspension
Sn95 sits like an suv basically before you drop it
@@whydoihave6neutrals772 same with s197. My 2014 is basically a monster truck
I literally just bought a 2016 CS GT yesterday, and I cant stay out of it!!! I love this platform!
The euro tails are a nice addition to the car.. It gives it a cleaner look, and looks icy #SubZero
Not a fan but to each his own
This why Challenger sales do so good. They have gone tooo Euro looking.
Nothing like that cold start of the V8 in your Mustang
Factsss
Just for the record, it’s not placebo. When you put it in any different driving mode. It’s going to change throttle response, how it holds RPMs and how aggressively the transmission shifts.
Drag mode definitely makes a difference.
Sub-Zero: I'm the best mustang
Smurf: am I joke to you?

dang, I haven't watched you in a long time (no notifications) honestly forgot about you. Sweet ride and congrats!
This thing is actually lit, it is literally my dream spec of this mustang. Ahh, the white-tinted tail lights...
I feel like even the roughness of older cars like the mustang just make it that much better as a fun weekend car. I love the old gauges but as a daily it's not really a daily just because I enjoy it I'm happy to hop in and go anywhere
💯 percent agree with everything you said about the s550. Keep up the vids. Love your work 👍👍👍👍
Just got a Race Red 2018 GT and man I think you are spot on with your review. Best bang for your buck out there. Great job!
He said update video. NO! It's a VLOGGIDY VLOGG! #bringbackvloggidyvlogs
Heated wheels are such a joy. 10/10
depends on how good they're r
not always
@@BobThe9534 Yes always.
@@BobThe9534 A shitty heated steering wheel is still better than a steering wheel that isn't heated
Mrjoecreeper not nessicatily
Can’t wait to see this in person I’ve only seen Smurff since you moved to GA
Loved your video. Your changes are great for your car. It looks good. My Mustang is different but just right for a daily driver for me. I love that Mustangs can be modded in so many different ways. Again thanks for a fun video. I've subscribed and liked and look forward to following your journey. The S550 is a great look. I'm always receiving complaints on my Ruby Red.
Just picked up a 2018 myself. Kind of thought it was ugly but its grown on me and I think it looks sick now 🤷♂️
Drives awesome, but wish the steering had better feedback.
I'm a Chevy guy but this mustang is a masterpiece 🔥
this video is old so i don’t know how often you check comments, but i really really enjoyed this video dude. I learned a lot and I’m definitely gonna subscribe
me too agreed
Dude I can't believe those raindrops in the background. Wow...just...wow.
This is something else
I think either a darker metallic blue or a semi gloss even would look good. And blend well with the wheels/tail lights. Nice ride man! Cant wait to see some more transformations.
“Mustangs are so tall”
Mustang Mach-E: stay right there guy
I know, right? One more reason they shouldn't have called that SUV a Mustang.
@@danielcamacho1913 yeah it’s nothing like a mustang, it’s pretty much everything the mustang isn’t 😂 idk why they called it a mustang
I understand the having a nice daily. That being said, smurf would be a sweet drag car.
First time seeing any of your videos. You did an awesome job with your car. I see so many running the PBS (Pep Boy Special) trashy cars on TH-cam, it's a pleasure to see someone that understands how to put a street car together. Triple.
I bought a 2019 gt pp1 exactly 1 year ago today and I have no regrets. Best car I've ever owned.
Same, I love my 2019 GT PP1
@@100PERCENTCALLOFDUTY nice. What options did you choose? I'm slowly starting to mod mine even though I wasn't planning on it lol
@@CanadianCruisin lol
@@BobThe9534 😁
@@CanadianCruisin Its a GT Non-premium (I went non-premium for the cloth seats since in AZ leather sucks) with the performance package and the 301A equipment group. So it has the sync 3 instead of the tiny screen they try to sell you on lol. Oh, and its a 10 speed. My other mustang is a 5 speed so I get the best of both worlds lol.
you actually convinced into getting an SHO from video you posted some years back and i love the car and it’s awesome but warranty’s has ran out and alittle worried about the turbos along w/ other parts going out and now i maybe thinking stepping into a 10spd coyote, great videos💯
I didn't even know you had a new car, I missed out, love the 2018 mustang's
I thought heated steering wheels were a stupid gimmick until I got one in my 2019 Hellcat Redeye. Now I’m spoiled. I really like what you’ve done to your Mustang, the mods really transform the car to something special.
I have put 20,000 on my 2016 GT, I love it. It does everything it should do.
Awesome front lip, and great choice on the light colored wheels. The whole car is so bright.
The standard ride height looked pretty good with the standard wheels and tires. Once you switched, thats when it began took look too tall IMO. Sometimes s550's look droopy when dropped.
9:10 oh my gosh I love that feeling of being pulled to the back of your seat it always puts a smile on my face
Love your videos
I’m on pilot sports, they’re a blast when it rains. When I’m turning right or something I let the clutch out a little quicker than normal and kinda slide around the corner. Traction loss is fun if you know what you’re doing, or if it’s on purpose, but if it’s not that’s what makes it fun.
Love the stang bro! I remember when they first came out and I took one for a test drive I was hooked. I didn’t actually know about the heated steering wheel. Does it come in the premium 401A package? I’m actually getting a new steering wheel soon to match my carbon fiber dashboard and I always wanted the RPM Indicator lights on the steering wheel as well.
Completely agree that stock manuals on the S550 are’ lacking’ something. Luckily there’s aftermarket support 👏🏻
Sporty yet classy looking set up!
The oem shifter is body mounted with a lot of slop. MGW (and Barton) makes a trans-braced shifter and no stiffer trans mount is needed.
Yup, I'm running a MGW. Night and day difference in the confidence and quality of the shifts. It's way more accurate.
Got a 19 GT in a 10spd. And I’m happy I did. Haven’t been bored with it at all
Yeah, this generation the manual transmission is the dumb choice. In defense of manual though, this is because Ford fucked up the gear ratio on the manual after 2017.
seems like they’re trying to slowly get rid of the manuals completely by making them weak
Absolute Longplay yeah they don’t just “fuck up” the gear ratio it was done on purpose I won’t be surprised if the mustang is full auto by 2025
Absolute Longplay and sorry I wasn’t disagreeing they totally ruined it I just meant it was definitely done on purpose
bro i went out and checked i have a heated wheel too and its been 2 years with the car thanks man
Thank you very much for all the specific information. I have a 2018 gt premium with pp1. My dog ate my stock splitter, so i need to order that MMD Chin Splitter. Thanks
do the " coil over " suspension upgrades create a more harsh ride? Do you feel bumpy roads more? I live in Michigan and we have some really crummy roads.
Thanks for the video.
Have to agree about the manual transmission. That slop is fixed with a short shifter from MGW or Barton. I went with Barton.
Mine is my daily. Sheesh, 300+ miles on a full tank? Lol, I have a lead feet. At most, I get 210-220.
Definitely agree about 3rd and 4th gear.
You have to remember that the 10 speed gets much better gas mileage
I was telling myself I feel like I’ve seen your car around, when I saw Gwinnett plate tags that answered it all, lol I’ve seen your car before on the road.
I have Magnaflow Street Series on my 17 GT and absolutely love the sound.
That 14.5 anime mid season recap episode... still luv u David
Looking to get one and I’m so excited
I have a 2019 GT/CS and I've noticed in any aggressive mode the 2-3 shift is pretty harsh. But in normal mode it's smooth.
I prefer drag mode using the paddle shifters because it will shift MUCH faster at WOT. Under normal load it'll shift slower but once you put your foot down the shifts are much faster
I also have only had manual Mustang GTs but when I got behind the wheel of the 10A I fell in love with it.
GREAT VIDEO. AND YOU ARE DOING A GREAT JOB ON THE MUSTANG, TAIL LIGHT”S ARE AWESOME.😎🙏🇺🇸🏎
I, too, have Fortune Auto coilovers. I can tell you're excited about lowering the car, and the difference in handling, and I think you're smart enough to understand that most of the improvement in handling comes from a lot of *other* things the coilovers give you.
The springs with the coilovers are probably twice as stiff as stock, or more. I bet the coilovers replaced your squishy upper strut mounts with a ball-and-socket joint. Great for tactile feedback (not so much for the ride quality). And I bet they came with camber plates that allow a way better alignment than stock. If they're high-quality coilovers, the dampers have less friction than the stock. The static coefficient of friction is kindof a big deal for ride and traction, especially on a strut suspension.
Compared what those things do for your handling, lowering your center of gravity is a drop in the bucket.
Literally got my 18 s550 with 21,000 miles yesterday and holy moly this thing RIPS IT LOL alll stock 🔥🔥
I have a 2019 Mustang GT with the Performance Package1 Absolutely love this Pony. I added a Corsa extreme cat back exaust and a few other mods. Cold air intake and a Barton Hybrid shifter. I can honestly say this car is a blast to drive!! MUSTANG! DRIVE ONE! YOU WILL BE AMAZED!
CONGRATS ON 1 MILLION SUBS
LOVE this video and stoked that you're still very much enjoying your time with that S550. I seriously plan to buy one in 2020 (a 2018 one as well, MAYBE 2019 depending how prices are looking near July), so seeing videos like this always gets me so pumped and excited hah.
Also, Front spoiler, Chin spoiler, Front splitter, Front lip spoiler etc, etc... Yea we definitely all need to agree on using just one name for it!
Hopefully you don't get piston slap 😳
@@karlhopkins713 Oh boy, is this a common problem with 2018's? I still have my research to do when it comes to common faults.
@@OctaneStreet Sadly it is
@@karlhopkins713 Done some research today. Am properly shook.
@@OctaneStreet just remember, most people come on to the internet to complain about problems, not many come on to talk about how they have none. If you believed half of the clowns around you'd think the 3rd Gen coyote was jumping out of hoods and raping bus loads of nuns while burning elementary schools to the ground. My 18 has no "piston slap", "BBQ tick", "typewriter tick" or anything else you read from the so-called "experts" on the internet concerning these cars. That's at 30k and supercharged. The area I live in has one of the larger aftermarket suppliers for Mustangs, there are a ton of the 3rd gen cars around here, most are modified and NONE have the issues some people claim they all have. Take what you read with a grain of salt. If you're buying an 18-19 in 2020 then you're buying used, if it's going to make noise it'll be doing it when you check it out. Don't believe the hype!
I've got the same tires on my lexus rc. They feel the same in rain as they do dry. Love them!!
Nice ride! Really like the wheels and the stance!
hi David. nice vid. liked b4 watching b/c i knew it was goin to b good
I feel like one of the light blue /ice /lightning metallic vinyl wraps would really bring SubZero to life.
David, a question about the coilovers, does the car ride as comfortably as it did stock with the coilovers?? Also, any issues with the motor or transmission? So many negative reviews on this engine online, just wanting your feedback. The stance and look of the car is very nice. I’m a black wheel guy but the rims you picked look great on white.
I really doubted the angular front lip and rear spoiler combo but when it came along with the coilovers it really looks like it fits the name sub-zero
The mustang is looking good
GTR's look better
Bob The 😂 that’s funny
Yeah
@@BobThe9534 worse*
When using the paddles you must put it in Sport Mode BUT you need to pull back on the left paddle for a couple of seconds till the brackets come up around the gear number. Then it will upshift and downshift quickly(not like a DCT though). Also if you keep the revs up it will shift quicker. If that is not quick enough for you when you have got it set
up with the stick in sport mode and pulled the left paddle back to lock it in THEN use your driving mode button and put it in sport+ or track or drag strip mode and remember to try and keep the revs up. Also it is not a placebo effect when you put it in sport mode the upshift points are higher in the revs range so it will accelerate faster if you keep your foot down.
I know exactly what you’re saying in 3rd, 4th and 5th gear. I have a 2018 5.0 F-150 and it starts freight training in 3rd gear it’s unbelievable
I really like this video , on point
Black rims with a black gloss roof and some black stripes for that stormtrooper look
I just got a light blue 2018 mustang GT and I enjoy it a lot
I found the OEM exhaust kinda tinny sounding. So I installed MBRP Pro series exhaust pipes on mine. I did the clear tail lights too and I have coilovers on layaway.
The only thing that really bugs me is the grill or lack thereof. It's like there's just nothing there. I liked the stock original grill way better than what's in it now. If you could find a way to put the chrome horse back in the middle would help so it doesn't just look like a big hole like a part is missing or something.
I found out about the heated steering wheel the same way and I love the digital dash too
Love those tail lights!
Great video
Racking up the miles!
cool video. love the GTs. i drove trans ams for years....wish they still made them...but the GT is killer. why do you still have your old mustang? subbed
still not sure about the 2018 mustang front end change at least on the styling improvement or digress, but at least it doesn't look like the 2019 Camaro that resembles a Silverado's severed front end
How much lower did that setup put you at? Im looking at suspension setups for my s550 and I feel like maybe an inch may not be enough for me.
Same here, bought my 2013 GT in June of 2012, still have it. Wish I knew what he did for a living (as he lists off what he currently owns).
I had fortunes for my 2013 and was thinking about them for my 18 but couldn’t find a lot of people talking about it. Thanks for confirming it, I assumed since they were magic on my s197 they would be good on the s550 too
Good video. I wish I could afford those coil overs !
David talks about having coil overs on most of his cars.
Me:waiting like spongebob in the cafe meme.
“Ok but when is smurf getting coil overs ?”
Nice haircut David- 👍🏽💯
You should do some engine reliability mods: oil pump gears, air oil separator, etc.
Nice video, I ended up buying a 2018 mustang GT premium A10
You are one of the better youtubers so you should start doing reviews
ty for sharing bruv
Good review.
Be honest David. Doesn't the new front end bother you every time you see it compared to Blue and the 2015 front end?
Hey David, would you want to review a 19 1320 challenger when you come back to Pittsburgh?
I like it it’s different from everybody else’s build mines grey 2019 spot pack 1 I loveeeeee my car I enjoy it every time I take it out
Keep it white. But I’d like to see some sort of a design with vinyl wrap. Could do some black stripe work and add a little blue line off set to the black lines. Then you’d officially have blue on the car lol
I’ve been thinking about the 18+ A10 you got me sold captain
Niche is my favorite brand! I made a table out of one like yours but grey
I have the manual and love it!!! I would not trade it for anything!!!
I’m with u just bought one and I’m starting to build it I actually just swapped out the mt82 trans with a tremec and oh my gosh it feels 10x better
Is the manual really that bad in those mustangs? I have a 2017 Focus ST and the first thing I loved about the car on test drive was how notchy and solid the shifter felt. I couldn't imagine my Focus having a better shifter feel than a Mustang GT
same lol about the heated steering . i would love for you to do a review on my pp2 401A
Dude, I ran my 19 GT PP1 and hit rain , whoa HYDROPLANE!!!!! lucky I'm from Pa. originally, so I knew what to do in a slide. Mich 4s did not impress me over the S 04 Bridgies, I had before on my Carrera, loved them!!! Aside from that, I love the heck out of this mustang!! nice vid.
Tint would make it look so sick, in my opinion.
Get some light blue Brembos and work your way from there!
