I got my 24 base A10 for 47k +tax, but it came with the 301a package , 3.55 axle , windows tinted, active exhaust, yellow splash color , and racing stripe.
Great choice ! The ZL1 1LE is better in every way ! Having had a few.... I was also eyeing the GT350 but I wanted new. The GT opened the door for me to do whatever I wanted and we will see what that becomes... Congrats on the right choice with the ZL1 1LE !
I've wanted a GT350 for practically since they day they dropped. Unfortunately it would've been my first manual and most likely out of my price range for a 2019 and up so I got an S650.

@@728GT you clearly haven't driven both at all. Please go to a dealership nearby it's absolutely free so you can stop this nonsense.

The dealership ie salesman should help with your questions plus the service advisors can too. I think you will get help with any questions on functional stuff. An M2 or even a M240i seem like a better deal for about same money? Did you look at those too? M2 is about $65. M240 is about $58
Unfortunately, I had a miserable sales experience and the salesperson did not help with anything. I reached out to the GM as well for assistance, he also was unhelpful. My first experience with a Ford dealership in over 10 years and I'm considering myself on my own with this car. M2 is a cool looking car, very small though and more than I wanted to spend. I'm happy with my car choice.
@@demonworksmotorsports - I think the Mustang is a great car and lots of fun to drive. I owned one a few years ago. I like to try different cars out every couple of years. Right now I’m daily driving a 2025 Camry Hybrid. Great driving car and gets 45 MPG with regular. I own a manual Miata as a fun car for the thrill of driving. It’s a blast. To me the GT Mustang is too much money and getting more pricey every year. Service should be excellent for what you’re paying! If you’re unhappy with the dealership support you definitely should call the general manager and complain! You need to complain. It’s your absolute right based on your investment. You spent a lot of money. Sorry to hear about your issue. I love the support I get from my Toyota dealership and Mazda as well. In fact the local BMW dealer is great on service too!
Demand top service and if you’re not treated right call the manager- the top guy! A passive approach is weak and you’ll keep getting shitty service, so fight for excellence in customer service. I was told many times -“the customer is always right”, I heard that every day we when I was a salesman.(shoe store) and we prided ourselves on our customer service!
Random question. Does the seats sit up a little higher than the Camaro? My sister owns a 2018 Camaro SS, and that thing seats really low to the ground.
That is tough to answer, the mustang itself sits up higher than the camaro, the visibility is greater int he mustang and gives the feel you are higher. The dash and door panels seem to be lower as well, so that would give the perception of the seat being up higher also. I hope this helps, feel free to ask more questions.
I had a 2019 bullitt, this thing looks so different under the hood. Mine was said to make 480 from factory was similar in acceleration to a 911s in some runs I had done, does this one make around the same?
it really depends on what you are after (how it's used) and how you load up the 2. I wanted a brand new car, so I went with this. I still think the 2SS is better in many ways, but this interior and the fact these can be had for brand new are what drew me this way. if competing in track or autocross and you don't like to mod, I think the camaro is superior. I do believe with mods, I will be competitive with this car but time will tell on that.
@@RR_85 best deals can be had on vehicles on the lot, typically. In my case, I signed up for mustang club of America and got X plan pricing. That will save you a few $$$$
Honestly, it depends. A Corvette pops in any color regardless. If you want as much in a 24 GT, you'll need an extravagant color for sure. Mine is in white and it gets a lot of attention, folks love it so I know the colors that pop stand out even more.
I drove a C7 Z06 for 5 days and had one guy shout "America" to me. That was the only attention I got in that. With this car, the younger kids really like it, I have noticed that. A lot of attention. (not saying that's what I want, just sharing because thats what was asked) . I think the C7 would need to be a grand sport or a Z06 to stand out enough, that's what I was considering... after driving that Z06, I knew the car wasn't right for me.
For sure get it with the performance package. The gearing alone helps with the dead low end. Especially with you coming from a 23 SS 1LE, make sure you go test drive one of these first. I like the visibility increase as well as the interior with the screens and what not. The power and handling is nowhere near you SS 1LE.
Handling and Torque on mustang is a HUGE downgrade please rethink this decision if those are factors Even the steering difference is worlds different mustang has 0 feel like a F150
The best car would be if you take a GEN6 SS 1LE, and a new DH. take the glass, ergonomics, and practicality of the Mustang, drop it on the SLE's chassis and suspension. Take the DH Coyote, combine it with the SLE's TR6060, and maybe the DH brakes, and here is the perfect car. Make no mistake about it a GEN3/GEN4 Coyote is a superior overall engine to a GEN5 SBC other than maybe LT5, but that's a very expensive, blown, ZR1 engine. Is Coyote as strong down low as a LT1? No, but very few modern smallblock engines are that aren't running boost. Still it doesn't matter. Coyote is a very ready to go engine, that very quickly gets into its powerband. It's aftermarket is much larger than LT1. It's cheaper to mod than LT1. It's easier to mod than LT1. There's no DOD needing deleting. The Coyote fuel system is leaps and bounds better than LT1's. Plus Coyotes weak lowend power is overblown. It's stronger than a LS1 down low. GEN3 Coyote feels kind of LS2'ish down low, with way more power up to. Coyote doesn't impress with its lowend grunt, but it doesn't get caught in some weak spot where you're wanting to cuss it while waiting for the RPM's to slowly climb to the midrange to get a big surge of power like LS1 and 4V Modular did. With that said for a N/A smallblock to pull as hard throwout it's entire RPM range as 6.2L GEN5 SBC is very impressive. A stock LT1 feels kind of like a stock Terminator engine. Maybe a little less liwend power, with a little stronger topend pull for the LT1. Plus LT1 can make a lot of good N/A power, it's just very expensive, and relatively intensive to mod. Regardless of how you go with it the fuel system is expensive to mod, and less reliable than Coyotes. The AFM hardware in it needs to be deleted if you get serious about adding power which is costly and more labor intensive than modding a 5L. Plus everything 5L is superior in strength, from the block, heads, rotating assembly, etc. I guess you could say the Coyote oil pump gears are lacking if you're into bouncing off the rev limiter, but relative to modding a GEN5 SBC upgrading the oil pump gears is pretty cheap and simple.
as and owner of multiple camaros and mustangs the camaro chassis is way better the rest can be prefrence ...but steering feel and chassis is just great in 6 gen camaro ..the high belt line and visibility sucks .. mustang is still more roomy and visibility is better .. just my thoughts
@@becraftcorey the majority that owns a mustang would not know what a good chassis was ...due to the fact that the only time ever go anything other than straight is when there is crowd standing out side of a car show exit !!!!
I like the torque the Camaro had as there was power any time you went to throttle. The 5.0 is sluggish down low so I have to be more mindful of a gear or two drop but then the RPM's can just keep going on this engine. The camaro felt faster, the mustang sounds faster. All in all, both engines are super cool.
Is that a Pyrenees? I will have one forever! I’m not switching brands or getting rid of My 5 th Gen 14 SS 1LE. I’m sure you’ll ESS it. I’m staying N/A with the LS 3 not the fastest but it’s never been back to the dealer since I bought it new. Been slowly modding it since. Too bright, needs stripes and black out that rear spoiler, and or satin black hood like my Camaro, less glare. No good neighbor policy, just get a reasonable sounding exhaust.

She's a Labradoodle. Good to keep your 14, I had a 14 SS 1LE then got a 15 Z/28. The good neighbor thing is neat and not a matter of good sounding exhaust. It's a feature that will close the valves on the exhaust to be quieter during certain times. Really neat feature, can set it for certain times and not have to worry about upsetting anyone in my house or other houses. Then when I am on the road I can click it back to the good V8 sounds.

I did put 10 mm wheel spacers on the back for the right stance and turn grip, it’s my two lane back road big girl😂
It's dumb, for sure... however, when you click into sport mode, it automatically shuts it off for you. I have learned that sport mode is the only way to drive this car.
The sales lady said 0 about the car when I bought mine. They weren't even very friendly. I was thinking of just going to a different place. I feel bad that I didn't.
Since I ordered this car and it had everything I wanted, i was pretty much stuck there to deal with these guys. if it was bad enough, I would have walked but here we are. happy now !
60k for a gt... times have changed i got my hellcat for 60k in 2020 brand new. Saw a dark horse at a dealer near me for 72k these cars are not worth these insane prices. Same with the last call dodge did 100k hellcats is laughable the only thing id spend over 100k on would be a viper or the new c8 ZR1. Hopefully these prices can come down. But since v8s are most likely going to be dead within 10 more years id say they wont.
I hear ya, but I wanted the newer engine and interior as well as the new styling. The Mach 1 is cool, but this 7th gen has so much potential. The mt82 is notchy but if it does what I need it to do, I’m not too concerned about it. It can also be swapped out if the power levels increase enough anyway.
@@demonworksmotorsportsi had the exact same mentality. If you own or have owned any newer vehicle the s550 interior feels horribly out dated. I knew i would regret not getting the new interior. I actually like the mt82 no issues at all. Ive had many manuals in the past mostly japanese this is surprisingly good. Congrats on the car, enjoy!
Nice car. Looks a lot like the Camaro SS 1 LE, with smaller wheels and tires. Great options. My only concern is the transmission. My/the Camaro SS 1LE has the great Tremec. I only have two issues with the new base Mustang. The T82 transmission and I’m not a fan of the new trend of laptop computers for gauges! Go Orioles! YMMV.
Congratulations on buying a sports car thats been continuously manufactured since 1964. Chevy dropped the Camaro in 2002. Then revived it again in 2010 borrowing some of the Mustang styling cues. Now it's ending for the 2nd time due to extremely poor sales. There's more to performance cars than horsepower. Unfortunately the Camaro has a tight and uncomfortable cockpit. A dated interior along with its blind spots where as the S550 Mustang has a larger cockpit without the blind spots. Now the S650 has improved the Mustang's interior with style and materials and IMO a slicker looking body. While Ford continues to refine the Mustang. It's obvious that Chevy no longer needed two sports cars with the introduction of their C8 Corvette. They basically forgot the Camaro as did the consumers as Camaro inventory set in dealership lots collecting dust. Now the Mustang is becoming a competitor to the C8 Corvette. Ford is competing against the C8 GT3 R in IMSA with Ford's first year Mustang GT3. Now ford is building the New Mustang GTD Supercar. I believe the next replacement for the Shelby GT500 will no longer be a Shelby since Ford pays Shelby for the use of it's name. With Ford set to work with Red Bull F1 building their hybrid racing engines. There's the possibility the GT500 could possibly become the Mustang Cobra since Ford owns the Cobra name and in the future. Ford may offer a performance hybrid Mustang. The refinement of the Mustang will continue because it's here to stay..
I’m sorry, you went from ZL1 1LE to SS 1LE, and then from SS you went to this new 5.0? And you want an autocross car? I think you’re doing it wrong lol. I went from manual ZL1 to GT500 with DCT, and while it’s an upgrade in some ways, it’s a downgrade in others, especially handling department. But I’m fine with that as it’s just a fun weekend car. The new Mustang has cool new screens, but it doesn’t feel as sporty as the Camaro, unless you go for a GT350 or 500. But as long as you’re happy, that’s all that really matters. I got my ‘20 ZL1 new in 2019 for $60k (with $7k discount) and seeing these new 7th gen GTs go for similar money is just insane in my opinion. That should be a $50k car max, with all those upgrades. Ford is taxing people and unfortunately the Camaro is gone so Ford doesn’t have much competition at this point, sadly.
The cars I had were just for a reference point in my experience. The main goal of the car is not to autocross, it's to have a fun car that I will also autocross in. If I wanted a strictly autocross only car, it would have been a SS 1LE. As for the pricing of the cars, things sure have changed over the last 5 years.... And yes, the Camaro is gone and I wanted new so I paid what they are going for and get to start a new journey playing around with this. Glad you came in for the ride!
This review has more salty comments than the iPhone -vs- Samsung comparison. The funny thing that you keep hearing is how much better the Camaro is over the mustang. Well why was no one buying them in comparison to the mustang and the Dodge charger? The Camaro couldn't compete with sales from either let alone hold on to its own. And it's funny how people keep saying that they went with the Camaro, when it's going out of production. Make it make sense? 😂😅 So many people love the Camaro better that they're not even selling it anymore. 🤔🤔
Opinions are always welcomed. As a gm tech at a dealership, I watched the camaro fall under. I believe it was more about upper gM not building the cars. We couldn't get more than a handful of orders in each year for the past 3 years. That beign said, each car has it's pro's and cons. The Camaro SS 1LE is far superior to the mustang GT with the Performance Package and even the Mach 1 from the prior generation and was on par with the GT350.... It's all about what people want, most don't want a car thats difficult to see out of or an outdated interior. As a new owner of the mustang coming from the camaro, I know I have a long way to go to bring it up to the same level as the camaro. Side note, mustang crowd seems very different from the camaro people. Mustang guys love the straight line power and just slapping a supercharger on a car and calling it a build. The camaro crowd goes the direction of setting up for turns and NA power. All good, it's ok for everyone to be part of the car community.
You really messed up I miss my 1LE everyday mustangs are so meh. The MT82 is garbage, steering, and handling subpar. Only great thing is that 5.0 but have go above 100 mph to enjoy it rev
I think i'm ok with my decision... I have had a lot of cool cars and the SS 1LE was cool, the ZL1 1LE's were cooler and the Z/28 was among the coolest ... I enjoy the experiences.

How do you all deal with the Start/Stop system that’s now on the GT?
It's dumb, for sure... however, when you click into sport mode, it automatically shuts it off for you. I have learned that sport mode is the only way to drive this car.
@@demonworksmotorsports that’s good to know. I haven’t test drove one yet so I was curious.
Good move 👏 thing is sickkkkkkk just sounds so mean
Thanks !
Why not manual?
It’s manual
It is a manual.
@@demonworksmotorsports sorry
The sales lady said 0 about the car when I bought mine. They weren't even very friendly. I was thinking of just going to a different place. I feel bad that I didn't.
Since I ordered this car and it had everything I wanted, i was pretty much stuck there to deal with these guys. if it was bad enough, I would have walked but here we are. happy now !
60k for a gt... times have changed i got my hellcat for 60k in 2020 brand new. Saw a dark horse at a dealer near me for 72k these cars are not worth these insane prices. Same with the last call dodge did 100k hellcats is laughable the only thing id spend over 100k on would be a viper or the new c8 ZR1. Hopefully these prices can come down. But since v8s are most likely going to be dead within 10 more years id say they wont.
Even the C8 Stingray is going for $100k. The Zr1 will most be over 200k base with markups cause that's where the Z06 is fully specced.
I don't see you purchasing a ZR1 for under $200,000. I'm seeing C8 3LT selling for $100,000
62K for a GT is nasty work 😷
I would sooner buy a preowned Mach1 with the Tremec manual before I bought a 2024 Mustang with a MT82.
I hear ya, but I wanted the newer engine and interior as well as the new styling. The Mach 1 is cool, but this 7th gen has so much potential. The mt82 is notchy but if it does what I need it to do, I’m not too concerned about it. It can also be swapped out if the power levels increase enough anyway.
@@demonworksmotorsportsi had the exact same mentality. If you own or have owned any newer vehicle the s550 interior feels horribly out dated. I knew i would regret not getting the new interior. I actually like the mt82 no issues at all. Ive had many manuals in the past mostly japanese this is surprisingly good. Congrats on the car, enjoy!
Nah, the new s650 styling looks amazing.
Nice car. Looks a lot like the Camaro SS 1 LE, with smaller wheels and tires. Great options. My only concern is the transmission. My/the Camaro SS 1LE has the great Tremec. I only have two issues with the new base Mustang. The T82 transmission and I’m not a fan of the new trend of laptop computers for gauges! Go Orioles! YMMV.
Go O's ! yeah, the transmission is junk... lol. After I hit 500 miles, i drove it a little harder and sure enough... but that's ok, it will suffice.
Congratulations on buying a sports car thats been continuously manufactured since 1964. Chevy dropped the Camaro in 2002. Then revived it again in 2010 borrowing some of the Mustang styling cues. Now it's ending for the 2nd time due to extremely poor sales. There's more to performance cars than horsepower. Unfortunately the Camaro has a tight and uncomfortable cockpit. A dated interior along with its blind spots where as the S550 Mustang has a larger cockpit without the blind spots. Now the S650 has improved the Mustang's interior with style and materials and IMO a slicker looking body. While Ford continues to refine the Mustang. It's obvious that Chevy no longer needed two sports cars with the introduction of their C8 Corvette. They basically forgot the Camaro as did the consumers as Camaro inventory set in dealership lots collecting dust. Now the Mustang is becoming a competitor to the C8 Corvette. Ford is competing against the C8 GT3 R in IMSA with Ford's first year Mustang GT3. Now ford is building the New Mustang GTD Supercar. I believe the next replacement for the Shelby GT500 will no longer be a Shelby since Ford pays Shelby for the use of it's name. With Ford set to work with Red Bull F1 building their hybrid racing engines. There's the possibility the GT500 could possibly become the Mustang Cobra since Ford owns the Cobra name and in the future. Ford may offer a performance hybrid Mustang. The refinement of the Mustang will continue because it's here to stay..
I’m sorry, you went from ZL1 1LE to SS 1LE, and then from SS you went to this new 5.0? And you want an autocross car? I think you’re doing it wrong lol. I went from manual ZL1 to GT500 with DCT, and while it’s an upgrade in some ways, it’s a downgrade in others, especially handling department. But I’m fine with that as it’s just a fun weekend car. The new Mustang has cool new screens, but it doesn’t feel as sporty as the Camaro, unless you go for a GT350 or 500. But as long as you’re happy, that’s all that really matters. I got my ‘20 ZL1 new in 2019 for $60k (with $7k discount) and seeing these new 7th gen GTs go for similar money is just insane in my opinion. That should be a $50k car max, with all those upgrades. Ford is taxing people and unfortunately the Camaro is gone so Ford doesn’t have much competition at this point, sadly.
The cars I had were just for a reference point in my experience. The main goal of the car is not to autocross, it's to have a fun car that I will also autocross in. If I wanted a strictly autocross only car, it would have been a SS 1LE. As for the pricing of the cars, things sure have changed over the last 5 years.... And yes, the Camaro is gone and I wanted new so I paid what they are going for and get to start a new journey playing around with this. Glad you came in for the ride!
This review has more salty comments than the iPhone -vs- Samsung comparison.
The funny thing that you keep hearing is how much better the Camaro is over the mustang. Well why was no one buying them in comparison to the mustang and the Dodge charger?
The Camaro couldn't compete with sales from either let alone hold on to its own. And it's funny how people keep saying that they went with the Camaro, when it's going out of production.
Make it make sense? 😂😅
So many people love the Camaro better that they're not even selling it anymore. 🤔🤔
Opinions are always welcomed. As a gm tech at a dealership, I watched the camaro fall under. I believe it was more about upper gM not building the cars. We couldn't get more than a handful of orders in each year for the past 3 years. That beign said, each car has it's pro's and cons. The Camaro SS 1LE is far superior to the mustang GT with the Performance Package and even the Mach 1 from the prior generation and was on par with the GT350.... It's all about what people want, most don't want a car thats difficult to see out of or an outdated interior. As a new owner of the mustang coming from the camaro, I know I have a long way to go to bring it up to the same level as the camaro. Side note, mustang crowd seems very different from the camaro people. Mustang guys love the straight line power and just slapping a supercharger on a car and calling it a build. The camaro crowd goes the direction of setting up for turns and NA power. All good, it's ok for everyone to be part of the car community.
camaro looked better.....
Go o s
They started off so well !!! I cannot wait to see what next year brings !
Welcome to the fold. You may not be familiar with this amount of power so please be careful around crowds. jk.
😂😂😂😂😂 omg the amount of power over the ss 1le is CRAZY, but ill tell you what, the 1le will hand this its ass on a track
@@Strongmorals it really comes down to the driver and how accustomed he is with crowd control.
Fail
You really messed up I miss my 1LE everyday mustangs are so meh. The MT82 is garbage, steering, and handling subpar. Only great thing is that 5.0 but have go above 100 mph to enjoy it rev
I think i'm ok with my decision... I have had a lot of cool cars and the SS 1LE was cool, the ZL1 1LE's were cooler and the Z/28 was among the coolest ... I enjoy the experiences.
Over price , this should be no more than 40k
Ok. That puts it in line with pricing from over 10 years ago.... but yeah. It should be 25k !
Please name a similar car to this at 40k and explain why this should be 40k.
Offer the dealership $20k
you really think this should be one of the least expensive vehicles made? 🙄 You really don't know cars.
@@Artjan1 i got my 2019 ss 1le brand new for 41k , below sticker!! But that was pre covid and the dealers got a hold of peoples buttholes and never let that taste out their mouth, they now reside inside the customers, trying to charge OVER sticker on everything
