Like and subbed my friend. I was on the fence between the mustang and the charger. One big pro on the charger is the leg room since it's a sedan. This past week though, I test drove the standard mustang gt which I really liked. But just yesterday, I drove the premium and man I got to tell you. The options on the premium versus the standard are big. The options on the premium vs the charger are even bigger and at almost the same price. The features on the mustang, especially the premium are worth every penny. Definitely getting this instead of a charger. Great video brother. Really enjoyed it.

I’m getting very close to placing an order on a GT premium so I can get it just how I want it. My only question is whether I should get the Recaros. I LOVE the looks of them. I don’t care much about power/heat/cool. I honestly will rarely track the car but it’s not my daily driver either. I’ll prob put 500ish miles a month on it and if I go on a long road trip, I’ll just take my work truck. My concern is that I’m 6’2” 225lbs. Do you think these seats will be comfortable for someone my size? Also, great review. Prob the best I’ve seen.

Could have been worse but the new one has been growing on people I know who own the new S650 and were unsure at first

Ford has made options very pricey. Options that used to be standard. This is now too expensive for the quality and performance. It's over inflated horsepower numbers and options leave it dry. Way too pricey for the performance package, which should have magnetic ride, Recaros , oil coolers, transmission coolers, differential coolers , and active exhaust standard. The 1le did for high 40s.The Mustang doesn't even offer that for a loaded 62k GT....and a Darkhorse Handling package costs just as much as a 2021 GT500. Imagine a glorified Mustang GT for 72k+ with no supercharger and DCT. Ford has found some suckers. Just throw the word (track ) in the title, put some of the stickiest tires available, and pay for some wins. That's the Ford way! I'm looking at M2's, Supras and Nissan Zs. The fit and finish is a lot better on those cars. Before you say, it's good on the Mustang - look at the headlight gap. If that doesn't scare you, go to the rear of the car and look at the rear bumper -cover seam. The one that goes from the rear lights to the tire... and tell me about the ripples you see in the bumper. And if that's not enough, then look at the panel gaps, and the world's cheapest battery cover. It's a joke when it comes to quality. It's not "Job 1".

@CarsWithSteve

Ай бұрын

Don't think I've ever judged a car by how attractive the battery cover was before. But curious... which features are optional now that were standard in last years model? Prices have gone up for sure but Ford sold over 50,000 in the US last year alone so I don't know if those buyers would agree the value isn't there vs what's on the market. A fully loaded Dark Horse is $4k cheaper then the starting price of the '21 GT500 but if buyers had a time machine they might go back and pick one up. Those cars definitely have their lovers and haters as well
