Still in love with that "old" look

[hartsickdisciple]

I really prefer the look and character of the 11-14 GT. The real issue with shifting the MT82 in the S197 wasn't the transmission itself. The stock shift linkage was awful. Replacing that with the MGW linkage fixed 95% of problems, and it felt really solid. I owned a 2012 and a 13.

As far as the handling of the 2011-14 GT, I think you're really overstating the issues. That's actually a very good-handling car. Take it on some back roads and thrash it for awhile. You'll start to appreciate just how balanced the chassis is, and how well-sorted that live axle is. Look at the reviews of the car when it was new. The handling was always rated as being very good.

Do you guys think YouTube red would have been called red tube if the name wasn't taken

[jacobmorales]

I think the '14 is by far the most beautiful mustang ever produced. I still have yet to come around to like the '15 & '16s.

New Mustang tail lights + Old mustang headlights = ultimate.

[Bimmeraudi]

This guy is actually pretty good at reviews. I like how he speaks clearly and maintains focus while driving. Good job man.

[dernman]

2014 is probably my favorite Mustang body style. Beautiful!

[ChristianSotoPaz]

Love the 13/14 exterior yet i love the 15/16 interior man..

The newer one just looks sporty. And for a "muscle" car. I'd prefer it to look like the last ten. 2013 is the sexiest in my opinion. Not hating on the new one. But it looks less muscle-y. Owned a 2015 and loved it.

I drove a live axle Mustang for 14 years. Last year I finally upgraded to the new S550 with the IRS, and I swear I don't feel a difference at all when hitting bumps in the new one that I did in the old one for years. The rear still bunny hops.

"Ground Speed" is a nod to the Mustang's inspiration, the P51 Mustang airplane.

The GT is quieter because, for the first time, the Mustang is being sold worldwide. They had to meet sound requirements in the various countries they sell it in. I personally like my GT to be quieter.

Emulating more proper grand touring cars like Aston Martin and BMW coupes was the best thing to happen to Mustang. I remember reading during development of the S550 the engineering team used a BMW 3 series or 5 series (I forget which) as a general benchmark of where they wanted the Mustang to be. This pony is going to see worldwide sales, it needed broader appeal. I like the more elegant presentation of the S550. Everything about it just feels more upscale and less McDonald's drive through. I think Ford did an amazing job taking Mustang to the next level and I hope it gets better from here.

Great video. I really liked it.

As a proud owner of a 2011 Mustang GT i can say: its my absolute dreamcar. I want a Mustang since i was a little child, but the Mustangs a not so usual here in Germany.
The new Mustang is far to „europe“. Everything is so...german. When i drive my 2011 Mustang around my town, everyone look at it. Its such an unique feeling, and everthing on this car screams „iconic“.
When i want to be driven by a car, i sit in my BMW e61.
But when i want to drive a car, my Mustang is the choice. Its absolute no match to the „far to european VI-Generation.

[nickharrison]

Which one is better for running over crowds?

[samueljoseph]

The tail lights on both models look fantastic!

[mikerinaldi]

The 2014 is clearly better looking, the new mustangs don't even look like mustangs

[thekinghash]

the 2014 mustang looks way more badass and nice imo id rather have that

[pallas]

Having fun without annihilating crowds lmao best review

[adrenalinelife]

Honestly, I’ve loved the look of every mustang since 2005. The amount of aftermarket and customizing the car to your own liking is amazing. I would honestly want one of each of the past 3 body designs if I could.

[mecanico]

I've got a 2011 GT Premium Brembo Package, with 87k miles, had .3 miles when I bought it. Absolutely love my Mustang. Fun to drive I've addressed the issues mentioned light mods to suspension and engine to make it produce smooth and put it to the ground power. If well maintained and not abused these are great cars. Blessings

[darrenfoltyn]

Never knew you did this review. I actually just traded in my s550 ecoboost for a s197 GT because i wasnt more of a fun muscle car. And honestly, the s550 was such an amazing car, but i couldnt be happier with my obnoxious green 5 liter crowd killer 😂

[franciscososa]

Lmao when people say the 2013 and 14 are unpredictable and sloppy and feels like an old muscle car? Yeah that’s exactly why I wanted a 13, I appreciate the technology but I love using my skills when getting on it to keep the car in line. now I appreciate the updated interior for sure but I like the feeling of being on the borderline of out of control.
