Review: 2024 Ford Mustang GT w/ Performance Pack (S550 owner perspective)

I finally review the 2024 Ford Mustang GT with the Performance Pack, the 10-speed auto and the 300A interior. This one also has an MBRP x-pipe installed for even more V8 sound. In this video I'll cover the changes from S550 to S650 and my thoughts on how they change the Mustang experience after personally owning 4 different S550 Mustangs over 9 years. What do you think about the S650 Mustang GT? Huge thanks to a subscriber of mine for offering his car to me for review!

Hi Matt thanks for reviewing my car it was a pleasure meeting u and riding along with you.

[J.W.W.]

I can live with the exterior, but to me the dash is completely ruined compared to Matt’s Bullitt. Thanks to the owner for letting Matt review it!

I've driven these and I will say that I Love them... this is coming from a Camaro owner. Me personally.

[phucm]

been waiting for this. Thanks to the owner of this car we don't have to wait forever for one!!!

Jeez, the prices on these things just make used options feel like so much of a better deal. I know it's not really a fair comparison, but c'mon, it's a real option.

I personally like the exterior of the S650 quite a bit more, but that interior is absolutely a dealbreaker for me.
Other than that, this is quite the special car.

I saw this new generation at my local dealer and I have to admit, the S550 all around is a better looking vehicle. The rear light with that sunken in look, I am not a fan of and the interior to me is just out of sorts. With that being said, I give Ford a lot of credit for at least continuing with their V8 muscle car. Updates may not be for everyone but at least you have the option to get a V8 still.

While I was originally super excited for the new S650 Mustangs, S550 > S650 just from price alone. These have no reason being $15-20k more then a base to loaded S550 5.0, even your Bullitt fully loaded makes these seem silly. Great review as always though Matt was excited for you to review one of these nonetheless!

[strongplanted]

Thank you so much for being upfront with the carryover stuff. As a true enthusiast would know, this car is NOT all new, even though engineers and Ford PR would try to make you believe it's all new! I still have yet to see an S650 in person other than at the Denver Dealer show in April.

Big ups to the owner for letting you review it! Sounds lovely but I feel like they’re straying away from mustang heritage. Guess they did that plenty already tho

[Redoh]

Great video! Got to review the same car (my sticker on the window 😂) and I absolutely loved how the active exhaust sounded!! Much louder than S550

[JJ.Picasso]

Overall I do like the 650 but I was able to get my hands on a lowmileage supercharged 18 GT premium for a little over 40k.

[jeffforbess]

The cost is a deal-breaker. This is not a $70k car. $50k Max.

One of the better reviews on this car I have seen, very informative and covered everything, well done.

[im_an_alvani]

Love the exterior and the Fox body gauges, just wish the rest of the interior was executed a bit better. Big ups to the owner for providing this for a review!

[alvette]

Looks are really growing on me as well. Saw a DH in person the other day. Looked incredible

[RobTheNthusiast]

I saw a new mustang the other night with the performance pack and thought my eyes fooled me when I saw cloth seats inside, I guess I was completely right

[OrionInception]

I've seen these in person and I still stand by what I've been saying....I prefer the S550.

[TheLadiesman]

I’m not digging the tacked on looking screens as a gauge cluster. I wish it still looked like a gauge cluster

[Tarantulaflytrap]

Next we definitely need a Dark Horse review for sure!👍🏻
