Why not. Good to see a brand still holding onto its race heritage and providing owners with options to drive them like you'd expect. Go FORD.

I think the car is pretty special just because they carried the mustang on, i am heart broken as we all are about holden and ford Australia, so this is special to me

Good to see Ford holding out with the V8 ( Stellantis? Anyone home??)

Production on the 2025 doesn't start until Nov 1. So how is that "Thrashing the 2025 Ford Mustang"?

Great show with two BRILLIANT cars I don’t want to mention that eco-boost. It’s a joke. I love the V8 power and fantastic sound 😊

Do you have the ability to test a Dark Horse R. You'll find it's a completely different track car since it basically a race car setup by Ford for the new IMSA Dark Horse R Mustang racing series.

Is this new 10 spd a bit quicker? did Ford adress the complaints and make it better or still same as FN 10spd ? The FN 10 spd auto had a slight delay on first to second and the Fn Gt 5.0 seemed a bit slow to get off the mark .

[Deano.]

The Tremec vs Getrag ratio comment makes sense.

1:1 in the DH is 5th, on the GT its 4th.

[lakkunshine]

Nice S550.650 Methinks the Mach 1 and GT 500 are better options and better bang for buck, especially until the S650 is tunable!

[edthomas]

If you don’t like the rev-match why don’t you turn it off???

[turbotheamericanstaffy]

Absolute rip off price. The FN looks way better. Mustangs are meant to be affordable for the working class. Since its launch in Australia it has almost doubled in price. It's not twice the car.

Were you drinking as you're driving on the wrong side of the road?😏

[gogetem]

fords were always the eco-boast is impressive the updated cobra dile's nice car

[stewart-D]

Can’t tune them ! These cars thrive on the aftermarket, especially boost

[kanebailey]

Every little girl wants a pony so to speak 😂😂

[MrDyhard]

What has happened to motoring journalists ? They seem to have become dweeby, pencil necked, gamer types. Where have all the men gone ?

mustangs version of a hsv basically, badging and suspension and brakes thats it, you would think that they would have ashelby version meaning a supercharged engine and with the new suspension changes and better brakes, plain and simple and i bet a lot of owners will get oen and have them sit in a shed, thinking its worth more than gold, all ford owners are like that its a bloody car mate, nothing special, its not a shelby or gt40 plain. would not buy one even if you gave it to me, would not own one, HOLDEN all the way and Chevy all the way full stop. I would buy a new C8 corvette any day of the week compared to this crap.🦘🦘✌✌
