from one Vaughn to another, you & the RTR fam killed it on this one. Super stoked to see this make it to production w/ all the love & thought you all have put into every bit of the design & features, I am hyped to see these start making it out to local drift events & track days :)
Amazing stuff Mustangs are doing and having a Unreal Engine experience literally caught me by surprise thats awesome by all the engineers that went all out on this
Dude, that's so badass!! 🔥 Ford and RTR killed it with the new Mustang! 🐎
Vaughn: let’s make a 16 minute video of how great the new mustang is! What I got from it: *Chef’s Kiss
16:09 So smooth with it. Love the vibes. I definitely want one!
Fun Haver's unite!
I always pass by RTR when we take the kid to soccer. I hope it opens to the public soon! I want to see what my favorite FD driver has accomplished!
Absolutely stunning. FORD nailed it! 🔨

i didnt particularly like the way this new body looked at first, same with the S550 but it once again has grown on me, this time it was much faster.

6:35 That is pretty damn cool having the progressive brake pressure, with this handbrake. 😯 0:14 8:48 Andd damn this car looks sweet. The looks definitely grew on me. First I seen the 2024 Mustang Dark Horse, and I didn't like the rear too much. The sharp dent half way through the trunk / tail lights looked odd, especially with the wing selection on that one. It stands out so much, it's like there's too much going on. But with this RTR Spec 2, the flat lip spoiler helps the bodyline a lott more. Looks great here! Would love to drive one of these one day. 🙂 The wide screen digital dash looks superr neat. This Stang seems like a great place to be. Great work all around Ford, RTR, Billy Johnson, and Vaughn! 😎
I love the RTR version, it looks soo good
Car looks great!
Hey Vaughn, great to hear your thoughts on the new S650!!! The RTR SPEC II looks amazing & I look forward to getting one!!!

Vaughn do you know if anyone will be able to do aftermarket tuning on the platform outside of the companies with Fords blessings like Roush and Whipple?

From the sounds of it the screen isn't too bad if you don't mind it being a screen

I love basically everything about the S650 and I'm looking at buying one as my first mustang, but I'm super confused about the steering. Quite a few reviewers that mention it (including Matt Farah from the Smoking Tire and Thomas from Throttle House) say it is sharp and precise but has basically zero feel. Thomas said that the steering lacks so much feel that he lacks confidence at corner entry. Yet here Vaughn says it has heaps more feel than the last gen. Not sure what to think. Good steering is one of the most important factors for me in a fun sports car.

I’ve heard that, and I find it odd . Because It is so much different then previous. I think what most of them are trying to say is that they want a heavier wheel, a heavier feel. Not a more responsive steering. Could it be better, always can get better. BUT for me it was the first thing I noticed and I am happy with it!

Hey Vaughn, I have a 2014 GT with eibach pro kit springs and strange 10 way single adjustable struts and shocks. This thing beats the crap out of me. Any recommendations to get a smoother ride? Wanting to keep it lowered and don't want to fork out the money for coilovers.

Does it beat you when you have them full soft? Are you bottoming out? If the answer is yes to those I would check to make sure you have the right springs. RTR coilovers for that car are not so expensive and they are game changers.

A refresh/remixed face lift doesn't make it "all new" Does it look better, absolutely. Wicked looks aside, the whole marketing buzzword of "All New" or "all-new for (insert year)" has to stop..
