Hello people who watch car

s on the Internet, welcome to this, the all-new

2024

Ford Mustang GT. Today I'm going to put this new seventh-generation Mustang on the air. We are nerdouts and the technical specifications see how it is built and how it works. differs from the s556 generation and then give it the light, this JT is equipped with the performance package and the active exhaust system that actually increases more horsepower torque at a time, if you look here at the internal tips, in There's actually a little valve right there that opens and closes, geez, you could make grains of cheese on these things, that's a sharp, hairy cardboard rear diffuser.

I'm not a fan of that when it comes to the rear differential, since it is equipped with the performance package, it comes with a torque. limited slip differential with a 3.73 final drive ratio and is the exact same unit that the old S550 generation Mustang had, to the point that it literally has a sticker on the bottom that says S550. It also says 8.8. I wonder if that's a nod to the old Ford 88 solid axle maybe it uses similar parts inside it still uses an integral link independent rear suspension combined with a set of Magneride adaptive dampers. The best way to describe what an integral link is is summarized in this photo here. rear suspension link houses the spring is an integral part of the entire rear stabilizer bar integral link that is mounted directly to the bottom of the subframe measured in that is large, essentially 24 millimeters in diameter, the seventh generation of the codenamed Ford Mustang The

s650

is built on a reworked version of the previous generation S550 chassis and this 6-speed manual GT weighs 3700 in 30 pounds.

Apparently the secret to the Coyote sound is not an H-tube in the middle, but rather a 65 millimeter double harmonica tubing, only one side has a weird flex tube that equals 2 in 14 25 inches in SAE for those of you who think that the metric is difficult, that is two and a half, mine is wrong or I am out of both foreign things. Holy shit, the front engine subframe is tiny, this has to be one of the easiest cars to work on here, this is amazing, there are multiple transmission options with the new Mustang

s650

, now for the GT you can get one of 10 speeds.

Auto or the gettrag mt82 D4 six-speed manual with automatic rev downshift, that's what this one is equipped with. There is no maximum torque input rating posted on the website of Magna, the company that makes this transmission, so I'm not going to put anything into this. video in that area, but if you opt for the Dark Horse edition of the new Mustang that comes with a Tremec tr3160 six-speed manual transmission with more aggressive gears and closer gear ratios than the mt82, it's not necessarily a stronger transmission, but some will argue that it is better. drivetrain up front, it has a McPherson strut style suspension with aluminum lower links and steel knuckles again combined with those adaptive Magna Ride shocks, double ball joint setup, the front sway bar measures in g, that thing is big, 33 millimeters and change, are you a bad driver? test, yes, it's a tough plastic, right time for the braking test, no one behind me is ready, oh, that pulled my cheeks out, weird, I filled my cheeks, it was pulling my face forward, that was excellent, breaking at the absolute point, that braking has just been achieved.

Thanks to a set of six-piston monobloc Brembo calipers with a 390-millimeter or 15.4-inch one-piece front rotor, these are finished in the standard anodized gray finish, however, you can pay more if you want them painted a different color, the wheel is 19 by nine and a positive offset of 45 millimeters wrapped in a 19-inch Pirelli P0 255 40 tire, it has 40 series tires, nice thick rubber, perfect relationship between the sidewall and the wheel. I think also the wheels are painted satin black, it's part of a black appearance package that includes the roof, spoiler, mirror caps and you can opt out if you don't want black wheels on the back, you get a caliper Four-piston Brembo monobloc with a divorced caliper for the parking brake and a 355-millimeter or 13.9-inch one-piece rotor. the wheel is 19 by nine and a half with a positive offset of 52.5 million and they are wrapped in a set of 275 19 inch 40 pelli p0os.

It also pairs with optional stucco treatment that you can add yourself to the rear fender inner liners. In the name of science, now is the time to give this horse the full management evaluation. Good reinforcement. It's designed for a human a little wider than me, but it has ample bolstering when it comes to driving modes. You have some buttons. right here to go up and down you can go from normal to sporty to continue well, the graphics are pretty bad in this supposedly they use the Unreal Engine from video games to do all the graphics in this, the change is also the design of your tachometer and the gauge cluster drag strip, which is cute, is the tree.

I'm going to switch, there's no slippery wet driving and it's custom now, if you go into the infotainment system and select my Mustang, there's all kinds of stuff packed in here, you've got tracking apps, auxiliary gauges, custom modes which is where you can configure your settings for your ride, my color and then the cluster theme, my favorite, so here the gauge cluster will change with whatever mode you're in, but if you scroll down to the bottom of the body Fox 87 and 93 Yes, please, now change your gauge cluster to that of a fox-bodied Mustang. I love it and it lights up green at night.

It's also where my color mode comes in because I also set all the other lights and displays inside the vehicle to illuminate that same 80's. 90's green color which also includes the door sill lighting and there's more stuff here. You have tracking apps. I love when cars do this. Gives you a ramp-up timer. Braking performance. Lap timer. Startup settings. Change indicator. Mustang memes, what one of the best things about this new generation Mustang is that it still has a Ripa electronic brake, but it is a Ripa electronic brake, you pull it like a normal electronic brake, but it is electric and to deactivate it you simply press the brake with your foot and push down, that's very smart.

I like the way the shifter feels on this mt82. I mean, it's a very sharp feeling. I know these get a bad rap in the aftermarket Mustang community, but I would definitely give your opinion based on your own experience and don't deviate from what other people say, as well as the line lock and launch control. I'll do it myself. Also on my Mustang's screen you have the different sound profiles for the active exhaust, everything from Karen Avoidance Mode. to blow your eardrums mode look what needs to be done ready there we go with the flat foot shifting well that's good the other thing is spicy once again I'll use launch control just to see what the launch settings are like uh we'll go with 4500 me like launch control enabled look what this thing can do ready spin the tires I didn't use any lift this time I did it myself and it's faster that's good very good this car is very fun ding ding ding ding ding ding I love it This hood vent looks good, the hood struts are very good, so functional vents love it.

The square hood has a lot of Fox body and the Gen 4 Coyote looks sick. The dual intakes look so menacing when you open the hood under the

2024

Ford Mustang GT. Coyote 4th Generation 4-cam all-aluminum 5-liter naturally aspirated V8 producing 486 horsepower at 7,150 RPM and 418 lb.-ft. of torque at 4,900 RPM, that's six extra horsepower and three extra pound-feet of torque if you opt for the active exhaust system. If you want to know how much it is without that, you can subtract six and three and there you have the answer, you're welcome. The tower clamp attaches to the firewall.

Yes, the electronic brake booster. The intake manifold has also been modified to match. as this engine cover is actually carbon fiber, no I think it's plastic which is realistic looking, although it almost looks like real dried carbon, the Gen 4 coyote is still 307.3 cubic inches with a 93 board stroke by 92.7 millimeters and a compression ratio of 12 to 1. It has a wire arc plasma transfer cylinder liner which is essentially hot liquid magma that the robots just spray into the bore to cover it or something. Additionally, the fourth-generation Coyote employs a new four-to-one exhaust manifold and has direct fuel injection under the plastic valve. covers reworked camshafts and is still a four-valve per cylinder configured with Ford's TI VCT variable valve timing, that Dark Horse package I mentioned earlier that has a completely different six-speed manual transmission option, plus the Gen 4 coyote and You get forged steel connecting rods, that's a lot of changes just for one package, and it bumps horsepower up to 500, while torque remains the same at 418.

This color looks a lot like Area 51 on the foreign Bronco. I have never taken one of these. on a track before, so I can't give you that level of feedback on how this handles, but the biggest thing that really stands out to me about the last generation, the S550, is that the throttle is as laser sharp as the most minimal deviation of The muscle contracts in your foot and this thing detects it. I haven't seen it other than maybe in the Lexus RCF of that level of sharpness, the induction sound of that Gen 4 coyote, those dual throttle bodies make a difference in that department. this engine sounds so phenomenal like a phenomenal work of art the feel of the shifter this is good too it's crisp and the only thing the mt82 has is the gearing it has high gears super high gear so I can see the appeal from Dark Horse with the 3160. to address that issue but I think it feels a bit sharper as they worked on this area from the S550 in the general placement of the shifter is also good in contrast to a new Edge where you feel what you're changing On the dashboard, like in an EP Civic hatch, you notice a bit of its weight.

You can kind of see that it's a 3,700-pound car, especially when you're going over dips and bumps mid-corner, the downside of a Ford. Mustang has a negative stigma attached to it, not at the level of the negative stigma of the Nissan Altima, but it is still some bad drivers and bad owners of these cars that give them a bad name, but the other way around. On top of that, there are many more people who get irritated by the presence of this car, even being on the same road as them, then there are idiots who drive them.

It's amazing, that's why I do this, oh, this is soft, oh, hello, door, it just closed. For me, oh, if I was actually a normal-sized human, I'd probably fit in here if you were five five five six, you'd be super comfortable back here, my head is pressed against the glass, although I can't lean back. No frills back. here solid plastic everywhere, but the seat, this, the bottom of the seat is just a hug, you let me out, there's a popper, geez, that's a huge trunk lid, hit an Olsen anti-abrasion material, loud boy , back here, that's nice, the trunk struts muffle the sound, no.

I don't know how I feel about the shape of the taillights back here, I'll probably like it, it's cute though, it's a little easter egg of an s650 on the taillight, a few more easter eggs, all seven generations of the Ford Mustang They are in the back. The glass at the very edge of the defrost area in this back area definitely looks like a Camaro. I don't know why seat belts have a stripe. It's a bit fancy. Seats with USB memory and wireless charging, but this is not carbon fiber. it's fiber plastic, there's a pad down here on the side of the transmission tunnel, if you have horse knees, flat bottom steering wheel, the Bing and Olsen sound system is amazing here, but it's still not as good as just listening the engine, what it does inside. nothing here, it's a bit of a strange design for the engine start/stop button, you can barely read it, it just looks like a red blob, they give you some quick access buttons down here so you don't have to search through the menu system to discover it.

A minimal amount of effort went into designing this little cubby here for your sunglasses. It does the job even though the Homelink buttons for your garage door are integrated into the visor instead of the rearview mirror. The dashboard up here is elegant. and you feel like you're in a Mustang How does the glove box do its job? My biggest complaint on this car would have to be the fact that there are no physical buttons for theHVAC and climate control, you have to go through the screen. do that and I could see that there are potential problems, especially in Arizona where the sun will heat these things up so much that they don't light up in vehicles, our horses here and I don't want to scare wildlife, so number one of the reasons Why I would choose a new s650 over the previous generation S550, because you can get a used one for about the same price as a new one, is because of the technology.

The technological features that have changed for this new generation make it worth upgrading. to one of these cars, although I like the fact that they have this menu of auxiliary gauges that you can monitor five or you can set it to just three gauges to look at while driving, the downside to that is that although this technology is good, I miss the aspect of the gauges on the S550 Dash, it's a little more timeless, while I feel like this could get old in 10 years and look tacky, like an outdated piece of technology stuck on the dash, the fuel economy on the s650 is so I'm not going to watch that ride, that's terrible, overall, so I had it this week.

I've averaged 17.2, that's not terrible considering this thing has almost 500 horsepower and goes zero to 60, and thank you, I'm still feeling choppy. here for bugs but I don't even feel like crushing them they like Stinging me it's like horse bees there are horseflies that mated with bees that's the real thing it's time to give this some scores starting with the bean score in the evaluation of the feeling you get in your gut when you give it the beans and the performance package 20 20 24 Mustang GT gets a rating of followed by the cookie score, the value evaluation and this thing, as equipped, gets a rating of pulled by the wrench, the maintainability rating and the s650 GT gets a rating of next is the squid rating, the handling rating and lastly is the Penguin rating, the rating on how much I personally like a vehicle and the s650 Mustang GT gets a rating of Never wanted a Mustang GT before until this one.

Maybe it's because it's the last one like this. This is the end of the second era of the muscle car. I know it's a pony car, but horses have muscles too, how else do you think they run? The horses are kidnapped. Hmm, this could go down the wrong path quickly. I hope you enjoyed this
