I honestly think the S197 is such a beautiful car 😎

As a previous owner of a s197 AND current owner of an s550 I gotta say that in terms of looks I miss my s197 so much! But, daily driving this s550 you are right, so so comfortable and modern. Here in LA, I commute on the 405 every morning and sometimes I actually LIKE commuting because of my car. I have gotten far more compliments on my 2017 than I did my 2014 and I think that's mainly like you said this newer model is much more appealing and flashy to the eye of non-Mustang fans. The s197 I feel is only more appealing to those of us who really appreciate Mustangs. Nonetheless, I'm a lifetime fan of them, it's all I've ever driven since I got my license and I'm sure that'll never stop. :)

Honestly what gets you more of the compliments is when you have a really nice exhaust system and The stance of your vehicle combined with wheels and tires, that's more so what gets their attention.

Looks like I'm not in the minority when it comes to the 2015+. I like the car but I don't turn my head when I see one down the road. The styling is rather....boring. Granted, the interior is definitely a step up but honestly, if you had the nav package in the 2010-14 Mustang with Premium interior and leather seats, those interiors weren't as bad as people say they were. The new Mustang...idk there's something I just don't like about it. It doesn't have that Mustang look. It reminds me more of a Genesis coupe...something basic and just...there.

As a 13 GT500 owner, It is by far the best looking Mustang, I also traded a 15 GTPP (3 weeks after purchase) to get it. The 13-14 GT500 Recaros with the embroidered snake are the best looking and by far the most comfortable of all Recaros. However LED speedo and active exhaust of the 18/19 are really awesome features. But you can't beat having a car that runs 10.9s all day nearly stock with only a Wheel and Drag Radial swap, like 13/14 GT500 with a good driver.

love them both but im all about that 2014!!!!

Understanding that the mustangs have come a long way and as the years passed it changes a lot but I have a 2013 mustang GT with mods that I will not give up and you are absolutely right the style of the car, the front end and the performance can't be matched , it's so sexy that they're just something about the 2013 era mustangs that turn you on

The 13'-14' was the epitome of classic modern design for the Mustang. Just a beautiful car. The +18' Mustangs are just more of sports cars, and Ford just did an incredible job with the interior and exterior. Starting with the GT350R, and peaking with the Mach 1 HP and GT500.

Great comparison. I have a 14' premium & a 16' premium. The seats in the S550 are so much more comfortable that I just bought some to install in my s197. I really love both cars I am a little more partial to my 14 though it just feels like more of a retro Mustang with modern tech experience. One thing worth noting is that the back seats in the s197 are tolerable I am 6 foot 1 190 lb and I can hang out back there for an hour or so on a trip. But in the S550? impossible. My head hits the rear windshield. So the S550 wins the front half of the Interior comparison LOL not the back.

If you love the old school Mustangs from the late 60's, like the 69 Mustang Mach 1, then you have to lean toward the 2013-2014 Mustang as being the best Mustang ever in the looks department. I must admit that is why I like the 2013 -2014 Mustang and had to own one. When it come to the newer 2018-2019 I want the automatic 10 speed in it to replace my automatic 6 speed. Praying for a swap out kit! When it comes to driving the two cars I will stick to the live rear end in the 2013-2014, road racing isn't my style anyway and Ford did the best job ever controlling the beast in the back on the 13-14 Mustang. Plus, it was the 13-14 Mustang that made it through the sloam course faster with its live rear end than the same year Chevy Camaro with its Independent rear end and the Camaro had wider tires all around that should have really given it the edge. And after all the car magazines kept saying Ford had a stone age set up, they ended up with egg on their face. But, the newer Mustangs are advancing power output, increases in driver control of all that power, more comfort on long drives and are over all are producing a more refined Mustang. But, the real question is if we tame the Mustang to much will it lose what makes it so appealing in the first place? There is a real difference between riding a wild Mustang and being on a show pony and Ford needs to make sure they don't turn one into the other and ruin the adventure for us all.

Still love the look and lines of the 13 and 14, especially the front end, jmo.

Over here almost all cars are manual, thou they have begun now with the bumper car concept, and launch control nonsense etc. Pretty soon none of us will be allowed to actually even steer the cars everything gonna be automated. Then I bet someones gonna say "well dude the cars steer much faster than I do so I win races against someone who actually steers the car himself" eh, well ok then bud, what ever floats your boat. To each his own etc. I however like to also be the one steering the car when I drive, just as I like to shift gears myself, and don't use launch control. And IF you beat me in a race, let it be known that YOU did not beat me, your CAR did, your skill as a driver wasn't what won the race. I prefer the 14-15 Mustang, the new front looks too weak and emasculated.

Don't know why, but glad they did. As someone who came into Mustang ownership only because the s550, with no prior brand loyalty or nostalgia, the horizontally aligned (relative to headlights) fog lights look silly - out of place. There's a couple of reasons the vast majority of vehicles, sports car or otherwise, have fog lights down low, aligned vertically to headlights. 1. They work better down low (under the line of vision so highlighting the road rather than the fog) and 2. look more aesthetically pleasing that way. Points for being a distinctive look, though. But had Ford stuck with the s197 setup, especially the front end look and the live axle rear end, I would have chosen to buy another brand sports car instead of a Mustang.

Probably the most accurate comparison that I’ve seen to date

I like the gill shaped lights front and rear on the new one. I like the less angular lower front fairing holes on the old one. I LOVE the wheels on the new one. They make look so athletic.

The S550 (Pre facelift, so 15-17) is my favorite body style mustang between the moderns. Hands down.

My opinion on the 13-14 GT VS 2018+ GT, the 13 front end and grill looks great, although I prefer the position and look of the 11-12 lights, the front end on the 18+ looks very sleek and modern, but I'm not so sure that's the design they should have gone with for a muscle car. Other than that, the side profile and rear end for the 18+ both look great and wins out over the 13-14, although I do prefer the rear lights and deck lid on the 15-17 VS 18+ GT's. I find it interesting that the Shelby design stuck with the 2015-2017 front lights. Some say it's because Ford wants to use up their warehouse full of front end lights left over from the 17's...😎

11-12 frontend with 13-14 rear, and you’ve got something close to perfection 😅 the hood all the way to the frontend is really « old school » « pedestrian not friendly » 😂

Picked up my 2019 3 days ago legit amazed by it I love it soo much absolutely brilliant car and for the price it’s leasing the segment by a land slide

The white really shows off the inconsistent panel gaps so I'd have either of them in black instead. Still love the look of both!

Great review, for me and lots of others as you stated, Justin , it's the S197 hands down👍 one of if not THE BEST MUSTANG of all time , as is the 67-68 fastbacks which are also gorgeous and very similar DNA in the two which I see in the two and adore.👍

@@americanmuscle your very welcome Justin ! 👍

14 looks way better. s550 looks like the fusion. still love the sn95's and new edges the best of the later years.

Great video Justin and both of your Mustangs are awesome! I'm surprised your '19 GT is still stock since there must be so many' demo parts' laying around at the AM warehouse. 😉

I just love your beautiful new cars! I am rolling a bone stock 2001 Bullitt, still turning heads. Puny horsepower compared to you guys, but when a modern Hemi is incapable of leaving me in the weeds and my car is as old as my son, I will be waving the flag for old school for the time being.

Both are beautiful af 🔥🔥🔥🔥

S197 all the way!!! I got a 05 GT only wished it had a coyote in it but the 4.6 3 valve is still a good engine for that time period. But the s550 is is more modern sports car compared to the s197 is a modern muscle.

I have an 08 GT and it’s good enough for me She may not beat a 5 liter but if she can humiliate those riced out Honda Civics she’s enough for me

Love this comparison of my 2 favorite pony's ❤🔥

Nice cars Justin! They’re both beautiful! What aftermarket navigation system do you have?

I love my 13'!

Get the corsa extreme on your ‘19 GT. They sound AMAZING. Love the content, by the way. 👏🏽

i have 14 gt since 14. so loving still.

The 2014 stays the king. Something about that body style puts it over the top

My favorite “Muscle car” look is the 2012 Mustang. My favorite “Sports car” look is the 2018

American Muscle. I also subscribed because of this video

S197 is iconic with its look, but I do love my '18. You are correct; looks much better in person than in vid or photos. The correct angles are critical with that front end. Not sure what it is.... weird. I get loads of compliments on mine, and I love this thing. Still stock, but a ton of fun! Great comparison vid!

Great vid Justin. I would take an s550 over an s197 just for the interior. The exterior on the 18/19 s550 is really growing on me too. Just gotta replace some small things like that grill you were talking about to really make the car look kickass 👍

I have an '07 S197 (a Shelby GT) and personally I think its the best looking Mustang ever built save for the '69 & '70 models which it somewhat mimics save for the required safety regulation design requirements.

s197 til I die!

S197 will always have my heart because it was my first Mustang. But I totally agree, after my accident that totalled my pony. While it was in the shop getting diagnosed, I was driving the 2017 GT Mustang and it was night and day as far as interior. The exhaust sound was good, and the back up camera was a new feature that was a creature comfort that I knew I wanted to have moving forward. But if I had to choose, I'd still go with the S197 due to how it is retro-modeled after the classic Mustang, and how you can add the creature comforts to it.

love the 18-20 light years better all around especially with the a10, they look great too.

I want the s197 exterior with the s550 interior,suspension and 5.0

I have a 14 GT manual, and my biggest beef with the interior (as silly as it sounds) is the location of the friggen cup holders! They are right in line with my shifter, so each time I shift my big gulp gets in the way! I noticed in the S550s Ford smartly relocated the cup holders (out of the way of the shifter), why didn't they rhink to do that on the S197's???

Good job.. Thanks

Yeah the taillights just look so insane man so bright and aggressive my favorite mustang on the planet really

s 197 looks way better...more retro.....muscle car. However I love what Ford has done with the 550....a great car for mods especially blowers. Either way they both are great cars. American muscle has done a great job bringing quality parts to the masses. VMP blowers are the way to go folks....great products even better customer service

Meh. The Challenger is a better modern muscle car with retro look imo, by a good margin. Not my thing, though, so once Ford brought the Mustang into sports car territory with a decent interior and sleeker more modern look, I finally bought a Mustang. Otherwise I'd be driving a different brand of sports car right now rather than a Ford.

Anyone else love the 05-08 mustangs?

I have a 2014 GT/CS and drove a 18 GT premium and my biggest take back from driving the 2018 and then getting back into my 2014 was the interior and just the total different driving experience. I was absolutely shocked! Still have my 2014 because I have a glass roof and sadly the 2015+ do not.

I bought a brand new 1991 Notch 5.0 LX that I absolutely adored for years and 150,000 miles. I had a difficult time even liking the 4.6 in any body style simply because it’s a 4.6🤨. I never drove one never wanted to. But when ford finally came out with the coyote it got me warm again. I bought a 2017 and I absolutely love it. The S197 still had reflections of the 4.6 so I didn’t even consider it. Can’t wait to buy a 2020-2021 for my next build.

S197 is simple but I'm not looking for a Cadillac feel in my Mustang. I do like to interior of the new ones but not necessary for me. S197 all the way....

I've been a Mustang guy since I drove my first in the late 80's and owned a few along the way and I've always wanted a '03/'04 Cobra, Ford got it right with independent rear, but I was completely disappointed with the '05 live rear axle again. Loved the style hated the ride, it felt 20 yrs. out of date for a brand new car. I swore I'd never buy one because Ford was full of bullshit when they said they did it for the drag racer, bull they did it be cheap because they knew people would still buy it. Awful ride piece of crap cheap interior as well. Now that I've my little rant out of the way, the S550, great car, great handling, very refined, I was looking at them when the word of the updated '18's were coming and I fell in love with the car, new dash, the seats, and I'm gonna do the auto, which goes against everything I've said a Mustang should be but I wanna throw a twin turbo in it like Stephanie did and drive it every day, thanks Ford, thanks American Muscle, thanks for anyone who reads to the end of my short comment.

I agree. I only became interested in Mustangs again because of the s550. I think Ford was screwing it up for years compared to the competition until the s550. Previous modern gen Mustangs were behind competitors in every way - so why would I spend the same for one when I could get another brand/model that's better and around the same price? But, now I own my s550 Mustang and couldn't be happier.

Who else really likes this guys vids? Cool calm and collected am I right?

Great review and content as usual Justin. Can't wait to see what have in store for us with these two bad girls. Got a question for you, what nav system do you have in your 14?
