The 2019 Mustang 'Bullitt' is a movie car homage that goes back fifty years. Whether or not you consider that to be a good thing, is entirely up to you. It's got 480HP, 20 more than the GT, special paint and wheels, and a bunch of Bullitt badges. But hey, at least it's nice to drive!
Ford provided travel, accomodations in San Francisco, a dinner, the vehicle, fuel, and insurance for this review. - Авто та транспорт
Steve was and still is a cultural icon. Love your reviews Matt, but your way off there.
I saw the movie in college and thought it was great. I have been accumulating traffic tickets since.... I might indulge myself for my 70th birthday with this car.
Go for it! You've earned it!
Do it man
jrossi9250 do it! Get the car and live the dream! You only live once!!
Absolutely have at it!! And when you drive it, keep it singing!!
You are fords target market for this car
“I hate cheesy”, says the guy with a Pearl Jam tattoo on his forearm.
R Jazz lol
Lmfao right, this dude is such a joke
Lol. Yeah, what a hypocrite.
LOL...
I was looking for this comment as well. What a fucking knob.
Steve McQueen is a legend. He may not be relevant to you but his level of cool will live on and inspire people for a long time.
Johnny Cutter Steve McQueen will live on with those who know! And Matt Farah is a hairy idiot who needs to brush up on 🚗 cars and history.
Ford built a magnificent Mustang to honour two great legends, McQueen and the movie Bullit. Thanks Ford!
McQueen was a race car driver (unlike you) and drove a hopped up mustang at full speed on a movie set (something actors never do).
Smoking tire is an ignorant pompus ass, he doesn't know any better and his opinion means jack shit!
Yet you both watched.
@@stevenp3176 gotta watch it to judge it homie!
@@stevenp3176 not past 37 seconds
That’s his pov his taste might be different
The Bullitt is a classy edition with a little power bump. Beautiful color too. Matt's being a knob.
Matt, I don't have problem with the review of the car per se, and the movie itself was decent for '68 but this line from yopur R&T review:
"Even the 12-minute chase, the most iconic film car chase of all time is just not good, especially when compared to the sequences in Ronin or The Transporter"
WTF dude? Did you just compare it to movies that came out in 30 years later in 1998 and 2002? Have you got no context of time? The Bullitt chase was absolutely thrilling considering the year it was made.
ChaoticCorruptor ronin is awesome transporter? Come the fuck on!
And Steve drove much of that chase. Saying something about actors today needing a stunt double for every little thing. He may have not been the best actor but he was one hell of a race car driver
They overtake the same vw about 4 times on the same hill. Lazy
Bullet is the iconic chase scene. Yes they looped the film, but they drove it. Ronin is an excellent chase scene with out alot of cg. The Transporter films use tons of cg, just like the Fast and the Furious. I'll rewatch Bullet long before I re watch Transporter of Fast and Furious.
baby driver was pretty good as well
People like McQueen and Newman will always be relevant if you're a classic car fan!
Can't believe you dissed Steve McQueen...
Bullet movie was never about the mustang....its someone's opinion not to like the movie, but McQueen was an American icon and Bullit is still the best car chase movie above everything else according to polls recently....
hes more into the relevant stars of today, like Kim Kardashian
You joking right? No body that is a somebody has forgotten that movie, or the actors. You just lost a s load of respect.
He isn't just a UA-camr, he's also a licensed vehicle driver.
@@makut4154 yes and also a fat guy :)
Love your videos, but that intro about Steve McQueen was very disrespectful. That was one of the best car chases to this date.
DevPack yeah i agree it was a basic yet well directed scene
Matt, I usually love your reviews but it just seems like you were kind of in a bad mood in this one from the start. Dissing the movie, McQueen and classic Mustangs is one thing and you're obviously entitled to your opinion even if it goes against what the majority thinks. But your pricing assessment was a bit off. A comparably equipped Performance Pack 1 GT is only about $800 cheaper, MSRP vs MSRP. Doing the parts through Ford Performance likely will be more expensive and you'd only get their 3 year warranty instead of the full 5 year Ford powertrain warranty. So for $800 more you get 20 extra horsepower, a higher top speed and a few other touches that most people think are pretty cool. Seems like a solid value for even the non-Bullitt fans once the dealer markups go away. A GT350 is 10k more and even at 10k more you still are stuck with a basic radio, basic gauges, and cheaper interior materials than the Bullitt. For those that use these as weekend cars that might not matter, but in a daily driver, some might miss these things. I own a 2019 Bullitt so maybe I'm biased, but your review is the first negative one I've seen.
Matt Maran Motoring my local dealer is discounting mustang gt pp1's all day for 34k
Motor trend's review is pretty negative, and he didn't say that much negative about dynamics of the car..which are still inferior to it's rivals..but he just expressed negative opinion on the movie and culture behind it. It's pretty normal to not like things and think they are irrelevant (like some of the Dodge trims..or Lamborghini limited edition runs) and talk about it. Guess the Mustang community isn't that intellectual anyway or they'd buy something else.
I bet he was "forced" to do this. Saw he was at the press event so in all honesty he is actually working right now...
Matt Maran Motoring yes you’re biased.
porshh951 and making mistakes with his money.
Jesus, did the Ford reps say something mean to you, Matt?
No Shit!!! LOL!!!
"No, sir, we cant take 50 dollars and a half eaten sucker down on the GT350."
Steve McQueen was a legend!
Is
You aren't 1/2 the car guy McQueen was.
while everyone is entitled to its opinion, I can not shake the fact that seen from here, all I see is a big hairy dude doing cheap youtube videos that trashes the king of cool, 68 mustang and a movie that's still cherished for not only its description of San Fran in the 60s but that really made "car chase" a staple of action movies... all the while pretending loving cars and their history.
The irony is strong, and Mcqueen would smile.
Orph3O I disagree. The reason is you obviously watch the video didn’t you? He is giving people content that they want to satisfy their need of a certain car with certain modifications that interest them. And they are entertaining actually. I think you’re just jealous
@@aaronp9835 - And I think you're just lame - you missed the entire point of everyone's comments on this clown!
@@Loulovesspeed whatever you say bud.
@@aaronp9835 ur a knob just like Matt.
I think you missed the mark with the bullit comments, Matt. I first saw the bullit chase scene at a smashing pumpkins concert in the late 1990's - and immediately understood. steve McQueen was the coolest and that chase scene is awesome. You don't need to be 60 years old to appreciate either.
Agreed, I can understand not really liking the movie but not seeing it's, and his, cultural relevance even today is a little daft. On that vein one should just ignore all of history because it's all, in this world of "woke", irrelevant.... Plus, surely Steve McQueen gets props for being an actual petrol head actor whether or not you like his films?!
Missed it big time. Unfortunately he made himself look a little dumb when I think he was going for...."I'm so great I'll say what I want, thank you"... but what he said appeals to only his "dumb" viewers.
Chuck Davis thanks bro you actually get it, much love!!!!!!
Unfortunately this will be my last time watchin your vids!
Bad Matt
Jason Gray I’m there with you bro. Funny thing, my comment mysteriously disappeared...
Steve McQueen is an American icon. He served honorably in the Marine Corps. His movies stood the test of time. McQueen was nominated for an Oscar and a 4-time nominee for the Golden Globes. This man was a well-known car enthusiast who participated in motorsports. He had a collection of cars and motorcycles. McQueen slowly and painfully died of cancer in 1980 after desperately trying to find a cure. This man accomplished more in his life than most people.
Matt...you never served in the military. You were never nominated for an Oscar or Golden Globe. McQueen will always be relevant and remembered for generations. You will not.
Don't be disrespectful.
You're blinded by affection for a person you never met, I'm not and I'm telling you he said nothing disrespectful about mcqueen, you just heard an opinion you didn't like. I haven't seen all his movies but Bullit doesn't stand the test of time, it's a bad movie with a cool car chase.
Matt's busy crying about Trump and Alex Jones on twitter. Not sure what's going on but he seems like a mess at the moment.
@@ElCastradorironic. here you are sucking Matt’s dick yet you’ve never met him either
Steve McQueen represents quintessential Americana even today.
The chase scene in 'Bullitt' is still considered one of the greatest amongst film critics.
My suggestion is stay away from the cultural critique and stick with the cars.
Micah , facts! This dude is an ass clown!
Bullit movie was never about the mustang....its someone's opinion not to like the movie, but McQueen was an American icon and Bullit is still the best car chase movie above everything else according to polls recently....
Micah The Bullitt car chase was the first of its kind: shot on real streets in real time, with a real actor behind the wheel. It set the standard for movie car chases as we know them today, from The French Connection to Against All Odds to The Fast And The Furious to Baby Driver. We car chase fans oew a great thanks to Steve McQueen; unlike the asshat in this critique.
@Micah - He said he owned a Delorean, so I don't think he should stick with cars, based on that statement alone!
This Matt turkey wasn't even sure what car he was driving. He knows sweet fuck all about cars, but likes to pretend he does.
Honestly seems like Matt is getting very snobby and bitter. "A man should not wear a shirt with another mans name on it" Then should no one drive a Ford because that was a name? Most things are named after the founder, that is some flawed logic.
Void the car's not even called "The McQueen" anyway. It's named after a movie, not a man.
lol atu yup!
Void literally any ultra luxury brand... Chanel, Ralph Lauren, Ives Saint Laurent...
I'm pretty sure he was referring to dorks like you who wear Steve McQueen t shirts.. Also, he specifically said Shirt did he not? how do you correlate a shirt to a car?.. my T Shirt says 100% cotton, what does your say dork?
Sigrafix look out guys we have a self proclaimed chad over here 😂😂😂
That car chase is STILL relevant. And you know so many people loved McQueen for his interest and participation in motor sports. C'mon man!
optimumfilms his participation in motorsports was wack as fuck compared to Paul Newman’s.
Not as wack as your participation Matt. Stop hating, the movie was dope.
I'm guessing nobody should buy The Smoking Tire merch either since it's celebrating the work of another man right?
optimumfilms please make a manual c63 6.2 l
Not a good movie?.....are you here illegally?
RIP to Matt Maran lol
Lololol I was thinking the same thing
Accost2u he is already crying in another post
Never understood why subaruwrxfan still does car reviews... Plenty of UA-camrs make better car content than he does
why you say that?
That's IS a good one. Moran's IQ somewhat trumps this guys I think.
Gawd dayum. The salt and bitterness in this video is off the charts! Bad day, Matt?
I think Matt must have just been in a bad mood. It happens to all of us at times, and sometimes we take it out on whatever's (or whomever's) in range. I mean, Matt's a Mustang guy, and he not only panned the Bullitt franchise, of which this is the third Mustang edition, but also all 1968 Mustangs. All he had to say was, "I'm not a big fan of Steve McQueen or the movie Bullitt, but let's see if this Mustang stands on its own merits..." Which actually would seem more in character to me.
One big point he missed, was that the Bullitt is the understated special edition. No wings, no spoilers, no fake diffusers, fake vents, fake scoops, no tacky stickers, even most badging is deleted. Maybe that looks a bit anonymous from some angles, but all you have to do is look at something like a gaudy Civic Type-R to appreciate the clean restraint exercised. I'm not a crazy Mustang/McQueen/Bullitt fan, but I appreciate what Ford has done with their Bullitt cars. The only thing that bothers me about this one (and EcoBoost Mustangs) is they don't look right to me without the two diagonal bars in the grille of the GT. Otherwise, $3K is a fair price for some extra power, nice exhaust, custom paint, and a collector model.
Bad day/big head
sneeky7 I feel like Jalopnik is just run by a bunch of assholes with no credibility.
@Puff: It's run by a bunch of hipsters that get off on esoteric trivia that only means something to them and their buddies. They can't drive and lack the breadth of experience to draw from, so they just complain that things aren't "like back in the day"...in 2013 when they were 17.
Bad day??? He's just a bad reviewer. He's more of a food connoisseur than a car performance critic.
Eh, laid an egg on this one Matt. The whole review seems quick and forced. Barely spoke about the car and it's features, yeah talked about the intake and the engine is mentioned the trans and at the end "oh third gear has some legs" but the rest was primarily personal monologue. I thought you weren't doing one takes anymore but reviewing cars on a longer term and only ones you thought were interesting?
Not going to take sides but will note of the fact you did drag on the demographic that was going to be drawn to your review the most. Not the wisest of ideas there bub.
amagine1 It’s a pretty garbage review compared to the one-takes of old. Not saying I can talk on camera while driving. But goddamn Matt it’s an American V8, learn the facts about the price/specs and lighten up amirite?
amagine1 And his critique of Steve McQueen was in extremely bad taste; and did he rip on the original car??!!! Leave the Bullitt reviews to those who have ten miles more respect!!
Its a horribly unprofessional "review" and this guy doesn't even know much about the car. What a total joke.
I could care less if this car had Bullitt badges all over it or not. For me, the main appeal here is the color and the performance packages that are on the car.
Steve McQueen was the coolest man ever. You clearly don't get that buddy. That's why people will buy it. They are buying a little bit of Steve McQueen cool..
Yep disliked my first vid in a while... R.I.P. Steve McQueen
Jackie Moreland I'm pissing on his grave as we speak.
Steve MCqueen will be remembered forever Matt, how long will you be after you die?
Probably 3 or 4 months
waaaaahhhh matt doesnt like who i like!!! Noones gunna remember u when u die!!!! >:'cccc thats what sound like right now
The morning shit crew will sure miss him! You evil barstewards!
Wait who the fuck is Matt?
Matt who?
"I don't think either the movie or the actor is particularly culturally relevant anymore" ...and with that, your dislike ratio is gonna get nasty!
Robert Rowley I would love to see someone actually explain why both those things are relevant today.
TheSmokingTire not sure about the movie, but Steve McQueen's style and persona is still a major influence over the tone of modern style and tailoring, same with people like Paul Newman, JFK, and Gianni Agnelli. Timelessness, as someone such as yourself who is interested in watches and horology would know, is an incredibly important cornerstone of various industries and lifestyles. Steve McQueen is perhaps one of the most well regarded figures when it comes to timeless design.
It shows that a proper car chase doesn't need stupid explosions or market stalls knocked over to be well received. It's still one of the greatest car chases in a movie of all time.
Plus Steve's acting was top notch.
TheSmokingTire pretty sure that movie pioneered the car chase scene and was emulated to this day.
How do you explain the importance of the chase scene alone, to someone that doesn't know a thing about movies?
That color is gorgeous
Juan Tobias seriously? It reminds me when car companies came out with the turquoise colors in the late 90’s early 00’s, and #epicallyfailed with that color. Give it two years and this color will look like junk
T U
Yeah he does.
WeekEnd133 vintage green you can never go wrong with that, classy and timeless
WeekEnd133 been an amazing color for 60 years, but yeah, in two years it'll look like junk, sure🙄
Highland green, available color for mustangs, although since they revived this badge again probably not anymore
Someone needs a Snicker's bar.
A deep fried snickers bar
Matt, love your work, but hating on McQueen and Bullitt seemed like you are trying to be controversial just for the sake of it.
Hes been saying the exact thing from this video for years, dating back to garage 419 (before smoking tire existed).
Hes just being honest.
Very juvenile of him. Pathetic indeed. He needs to grow up it seems.
John Grytbakk yes, a sweeping judgement of his character based off an honest opinion.
Your comment is far worse and stupid than anything Matt said during the video. Stfu.
how dare he not liking the same thing you like
@Nicholas Wilson Stfu ?
grow up child. I have the right to speak my mind. You scumbag.
Why begin by dumping on Bullitt (the movie), Steve McQueen, and your views of cultural relevance? This movie was well received by critics, one of most popular of 1968, plus the car chase scenes won an Oscar for editing. So your snap critique is distracting at best, a needless polarizing start to a review, and brings your judgement into play.
His judgement? More like his lack, thereof!
Is the Delorean not one of the shittiest driving cheesiest cars of all time? Similar motivations that drove you to purchase that car are likely why people end up with a Bullitt.
Sure but the Delorean was garbage when it was new.
You can buy a Mustang that's the same as this for less money. No so with a Delorean.
NoClassic Exactly lol, the deloreon was a significantly worse car than the 390 from a reliablity and performance standpoint, which is even more of a surprise considering the deloreon came out well over a decade after that car and cost a shit ton more. I get it, this isn't for everyone, yes, it is a bit gimmicky, but, that's kinda why it's charming. People like Matt Maran have always wanted a Bullitt mustang, now they can have it, it's expensive, but not outrageously expensive for your dream car. Getting back on point, the deloreon was a shitty car, probably one of the worst performance cars of all time if we go off of, the price, what it was hyped up to be , etc. Yet, we love it because it defines the 80's and it was a key piece of one of the most beloved film franchises ever, it's a gimmick, but that's why it was remembered. Not gonna lie, he was so salty in this video, I kinda lost respect for him. On one hand, we don't want him to suck off a car, but on the other, he shouldn't slam it either. This isn't the best sports car ever made, it's not the best mustang ever made, but it's a cool tribute to a great film. In short, this car kinda falls into the middle, in a sense, it's average compared to every car on the planet, but with how he treats it, you would think it's a prius, or something else truly terrible.
When a cockroache comments on a legendary giant
"A man should never have a shirt with another man's name on it" Cool! I'll make sure to NEVER buy any smoking tire merchandise since that brand was created by you and your name stands behind it :D
But the shirts don't say "Matt Farah is a Cool Guy".
Adam Cooper Matt Farah immediately goes to his closet and throws away anything that say Ralph Lauren, Gucci, Calvin Klein, etc.
Adam Cooper lol. Good point.
Matt is homophobic, lol.
What about Shelby? Or Ford? Those are names of other men and I don’t see anyone calling a GT350 cheesy.
i feel like the goal of this car went completely over your head
Woah Matt. I think you just lost some followers dissin an icon.
Sounds to me like you know you'll never have the hair, the stare or the dare of Steve McQueen. He wasn't just a movie actor, he was also a top notch race driver.
Wow! Arrogant and Ignorant at the same time.
Nailed it!
Gipstetz And he sounds for all the 🌎 world like a BMW ass-kisser!
Not joking this exact car is sitting in my driveway
$3000 more for 20 hp extra and instant collectable. Well worth it. GT350 is $20k more. Not really comparable. Love the 350s engine
Actor and film “no longer culturally relevant”? WTF Farah?
T. Howard aghhghhh 💩💩🤮🤮
Nowadays reality stars like kim kardashian are more relevant i guess....
I'm not old enough to have seen the movie neither are you
The only reason I bought this over the standard GT is because it will hold its value better.
This Matt fella is a turkey that certainly isnt relevant.
JUST TO LET YOU KNOW I OWN A 68 390 FASTBACK AND ITS BEEN IN MY FAMILY SINCE DAY 1, I LOVE THE CAR ITS A GREAT CAR AND EVERYONE LOVES IT.
The 20hp comes from using the CAI/Throttle Body/Intake Manifold from the GT350 which costs about $2k to replicate in the aftermarket so cost wise its not too far off to start with that under warranty
I have to admit, I love the Bullitt...It looks great, it sounds unbelievable and what an engine!!!! The Bullitt tie in is not a problem for me as it harks back to a day and a time bringing back some of those touches from a stellar actor and car..great car!
Man somebody pissed off farah before this review. Maybe the ball powder company won’t sponsor his videos anymore
Bad day Matt?
FX looks like it, very petty
Exactly my thoughts.
Douchie really douchie.
I was thinking the same. I’m 19 and still get inspired by Steve McQueen in any movie from on any Sunday to bullitt. Matt definitely deserved my dislike😔
jaguarjaonzz nobody's crying dickbag, they just have opinions, just like Matt F. and Matt M.
Matt I lost a lot of Respect for you and turned this video off within the first minute. Steve McQueen was a car enthusiast not just an actor and did a lot for the car community. And the movie Bullit has one of the best car chases and scenes ever.
Wow, the hood moved a whole 1/32" at over 100mph... stop the presses
I love the highland green color. I bought a used 16 GT last year in guard metallic because it was the closest thing to a Bullitt edition car. I'm not even a little bit tempted to trade up. My baby is paid for, has the saddle interior, and has analog gauges.
How old are you Matt? I would have thought you would be old enough to appreciate Steve McQueen. He was a man's man.
Steve McQueen was actually a huge car enthusiast, and he actually did the some of the driving in that chase scene. I’m sure he would have done the riskier stuff too if the studio allowed him to as well. Even if there was no movie relevance I love the highland green on these and would buy one just for that
Matt doesn't know shit about Steve McQueen. He probly thinks the remake of Magnificent Seven was better than the original too.
Dinsdale Drummond the original is itself a remake
Joe Alderman I understand that. For comparison's sake I referred to the Steve McQueen one because that's what the newer remake was mostly based off of.
I absolutely love the new magnificent 7 though
Just watched the new remake and it sucks
You must not be familiar with movie Bullitt, because it's most certainly not a "bad" movie. Is it a rather outdated movie? Yes. However the chase scene automatically made it a cult classic!
its a bad movie with a semi cool car chase wrapped in it. I own it even the car chase (usually the only part I watch) becomes suspect with the editing, presumably they had to re-use the same moment from different angles to make it longer because the mustang kept breaking flying over the hills of san fran.
@@ElCastrador Go watch the fast and furious. I bet you think that piece of shit is a masterpiece
Matt I love your reviews! but you miss the point entirely on this one!
Who pissed in your cornflakes that morning? Damn, it's not even named after a man. It's not called "The McQueen", it's named after the movie. You make some good points, but you also took a nasty big gulp of Haterade™, and the bitterness on your face is a bad look.
It sounds pretty sweet. Better than my 2017.
The hood flutter can be fixed by turning the little rubber bumper things under the front edge of the hood out about 1/2 to 3/4 of a turn.
try buying anything that mcqueen owned or touched and you'll see how relevant he still is. bad move matt
Except for a select few, the only people that can afford a $50k Mustang are people from the era when that movie was tops.
I have a $50k 2018 Mustang 401A with Active exhaust and magnaride. The younger crowd that don’t get the reference can’t afford a car of this caliber.
Richard Head you’re exactly right the majority couldn’t afford the bullitt or the gt350.
I don't think it's an amazing movie but it had one of the best chase scenes for the era and was definitely an iconic car, man and movie. I don't care if they came out 21 years before I was born and I've only seen the movie once, it's still a cool mustang IMO.
8:48 Wow........calling a 68 390 Fastback junk is a bold move for a car enthusiast. I wouldnt pay for a modern Bullitt either but damn.
NYC LP Player he’s right, those cars drive like an absolute shit
As will cars 50yrs in the future but given the times and the price point it is a ridiculous statement. Model T is utter crap if we ignore the times.
He could have said "junk by modern performance and comfort standards" and sounded a lot less pompous.
Andy Boyd Tip toe around my feelings? Nah it's not like that at all. I personally don't care what he says. In fact I agree with him on this topic. This Bullitt is tacky and so was the last one. And I know most of my favorite cars were built before 1988 and most have performance stats that are rivaled by modern $25k Japanese imports. That doesn't make the old cars any less cool. He just words things in a way that makes him sound like a pompous asshole and that's fine. It's common theme in the auto community anyway.
Or make a clear point apparently but lets be hardos instead. Air cooled Porsches are slow as shit compared to modern day stuff ddddeeeeeerrrrrr.
Saying Bullitt is a bad movie is like saying the original Gone in 60 Seconds is a bad movie. Oh wait... Seriously though, the overdubbed GT-40 exhaust used in the chase is one of the best car soundtracks ever in movies. Plus I think most people that are truly into car culture, especially on the American spectrum of cars enjoy Bullitt for what it is and appreciate Steve Mcqueen for the fact that he was a totally car guy, that acted just to pay for his car hobby, did all of his own driving and raced a ton. The dude was badass.
I would personally love to see more of these sorts of cars than this constant, nonstop influx of all of the Hitler mobiles that look like fucking frogs.
thejoshbtv Bullitt is a slow plodding movie that has nearly no plot and is extremely boring with the exception of one scene.
"Hood vibrating at speed".....lmfao
Nice car, but for that money I would buy a slightly used Shelby GT350
Glenns Car Collection me too
“It’s not a good movie” probably the worst way to start this review. What a douche. It’s not relevant yet they are still making bullit mustangs? Good logic bro.
Or a used gt500
Peter Jackson get over yourself. It’s called an opinion. I have never watched the movie but I don’t want to and I am sure the movie sucks because I already seen the reviews for that old movie. I would take elenaor from gone in 60 seconds instead.
Did those cars even depreciate? They were so difficult to obtain with a waiting list and $10k+ over MSRP (hence why Farah didn't get one).
Matt, you can't get the dark green on a normal GT.
J. Martinni just wrap it
The s550 had guard green for a whole
Craig Moody guard green and highland green are two totally different colors
Guard green is pretty gray-ish and lacking richness.
I think you failed to mention McQueen's legacy on Motorsports, stunts in movies, etc. The man's a legend and you didn't mention it.
@Liam McKeever - I don't think this guy would know Steve McQueen from Queen Latifah!
You may not love the movie, or that car,
but for most of us, we love a stripped down sleeper V8 Mustang with a stick, and big sway bars, made for the streets.
I see it as Modest. The exhaust note speaks for itself. It's for people that don't need stripes or cobras, and don't need a supercharger. It's just the modern interpretation of the spirit of a classic pony car
the chrome and badges all over it don't strike me as modest, different strokes.
ElCastrador it’s not designed to .. its designed to recall the 68 cars
Rude intro regarding McQueen and The Movie, let alone the way he introduces his audience.
Shows his low class of character.
Watching this for the car.
Can't say all that much about about the movie, but Steve McQueen's style and persona is still a major influence over the tone of modern style and tailoring, same with people like Paul Newman, JFK, and Gianni Agnelli. Timelessness, as someone such as yourself who is interested in watches and horology would know, is an incredibly important cornerstone of various industries and lifestyles. Steve McQueen is perhaps one of the most well regarded figures when it comes to timeless design.
Somehow, Matt will still manage to mention the dislikes & criticism in the comments on his next podcast to his guest in a way where he berates his viewers while reaffirming his worthless opinion on the subject. And yet, his viewers will quickly forget just how much of a snobby dbag he really is and continue to fanboy as they do.
The mustang has come a long way since I started watching your videos. I think it was at the end of garage 419, when you first tested the 2011 v6 and all new 5.0l mustang. Glad to see your still making videos 7 years later. Haven’t watched in a year or so just due to being busy, but this one got my attention.
Good stuff, Matt. Keep it up, and see you on /r/cars.
The Bullitt is iconic, and has been a driving force for Mustangs. Along the same lines as Shelby, not quite that prevalent but still important!
wow. missed this one by a mile... I guess we all lay a turd every now and then.
Thumbs down for the shade that was thrown at Steve McQueen and the classic Bullitt movie.
Barack Smith then get the fuck out of here
Supreme Alpha Male so what bitch? Gotta expand my mind. Now you too can get the fuck out of here.
Supreme Alpha Male No they don’t wtf are you talking about. It’s cool and all to prefer one over the other but when you just say your favorite is faster every time just makes u look like a fanboy
Barack Smith It is a boring movie.
Say what you want about the movie, but that car chase is iconic, and Ford is simply capitalizing on that, I think it’s a beautiful car, and unless you can get that green in another trim level, then people are going to buy this particular vehicle, it will be a collectors item, just like the 40th anniversary ones, and of course the originals.
I loved the part when he's talking about the "not that stiff ride" which makes it more comfortable... and he's bouncing non stop feeling even the slightest bump
Matt gained some weight
Every time Matt Farah shits on the Bullitt, a Matt Maran dies.
cloudhidden Best fucking comment ever.
Love em both but hawt damn.
Common with the dislikes guys, geeez.
Matt - every new one take you put out is a precious gift and we thank you.
Sick Mustang! Love the gauges, wish my 2016 GT Build had them.
That thing is so cleannnn 👌😍
Look, Bullit is not a great movie, but it had lasting cultural impact; it helped introduce the whole 70s 'morally ambiguous' cop drama. It wasn't about plot, it was about style, cool, and lack of moralizing. Movies like Dirty Harry or Death Wish or French Connection all basically borrowed from Bullit, which itself borrowed from French new wave contemporary noir film like Le Samouri
The soundtrack was also pretty bitchin
Matt , clearly you don’t “get it”. it’s ok for you to spend thousands on rebuilding a car that was a disaster but only saved by a 1985 movie, but somehow it’s not ok for a car company to build a car to commemorate a truly historic film and moment in American car design? As many folks have pointed out, you weren’t there to see the film in 1968. Neither was I but appreciate history and it’s impact. I owned an ‘08 Bullitt for five years...a damn fine car because I loved the film, loved the car, the color and the sound...nothing like it. Then i had to make some life decisions and sell the car. Now I drive a Focus ST, it’s not as fast , loud or cool, but it still provides a great driving experience. That’s what the BULLITT mustang is. A thank you to Ford faithful who love to drive. If I had the money right now I couldn’t decide to buy a New Bullitt, used Raptor or GT350. All our great products by a great company. And oh btw in 1989 my father had some extra money he was between a 1965 Mustang 289 convertible and a 1981 DeLorean DMC-12. He bought the DMC and owned it for 12 years, what a piece. He probably would still own the Mustang today.
Never thought I'd actually dislike a video on this channel.....wow!
Going to catch some heat for the McQueen comments Matt. Maybe not as relevant to our Generation or Millennials. I’ll give ya that.
Joseph Belfi but McQueen was still far more popular in his time than that bloated fat fuck will ever be
Greezy_Chef you’re comparing Steve McQueen and Matt Farah? Why?
Joseph Belfi well I mean Matt is the one hating, so the comparison is brought on by himself
Saw the movie at least a 100 times , will not see your face a second time man !
ok bye
@@reno9k Shut up
I'm still wondering how the 2019's are starting to come out when. The 18's didn't show up until early 2018 of this year in my area. 🤔
Love those roads you chose. I've cycled and driven on those roads for years and years, but certainly not as fast as you! Welcome to the summer fog!
I wouldn’t pay money for the Bullit Mustang either but dang, you really don’t like that movie huh? Matt Maran must love you right now.
And with this Video you are now unsubscribed. Calling your viewers fouls in the beginning, negative comments about a great actor, negative comments about a cult classic movie I think you just ran out of ideas. If you don’t want to review cars anymore stop.. your channel is now no longer relevant
It's relevant because the movie is basically an elaborate Mustang/Mopar sales commerical, the companies still exist, the star is a cinematic and stunt legend....but who's counting?
one of the few times I could tell right from the start Matt you didn't care for this model Mustang.. As for Steve and the move.. it was an iconic 'Chase' movie for its time.. and that Steve was a 'driver' of all things with wheels made it feel even more real.. The movie 'Le Mans' was another of Steves 'real' driving treat movie's.. Steves love of Porches and Triumphs (in real life) will always be a big part of who he was.
Honestly after your intro I didn't want to hear anything you had to say
ya boy Oscar Same here. I had to stop after just 39 seconds.
Lol Matt is catching fire for that Movie and McQueen statement. I get what you are saying but that movie still is relevant to a point. It’s all good though I still got love for yah.
The tight framed downhill drive by was great. I'm not sure why I loved it so much but I did.
Just imagine how much people would hate on Chevy if they made a Transformers edition Camaro, and then brought it back every 10-or-so fuking years. I'd hate my life if I had to climb into "Shia LaBeouf's car" every day.
Talks about mag ride> drives on smooth road
Ive been on this road before its actually pretty bumpy
Well, YOU just don't get it Matt. I just lost respect for you because of your rant on the movie Bullitt and McQueen. Have you ever seen LeMans, the movie with McQueen? Or any of his other movies? Here is one example of how he is relevant: McQueen's 1970 Porsche 911S used in "Le Mans" sold for $1.375 million some years ago. Hagerty had valued the car at $72,000 at the time. His 1967 Ferrari 275 GTB/4 sold for more than $10 million back in 2014. McQueen cars bring that kind of money because of his relevance.
There are many well thought out messages below about his relevance, and the Bullitt car. So I won't repeat them here, but you should read through them all and take them to heart. Unbelievable opinion from a supposed car guy...
He saw Le Mans and says it's shit. And let's see how much McQueen's car is worth in 20 years, when the rich old people who care about him are dead.
Agreed Matt just gained himself some douche points!
Don't worry. I have a copy of Matt's World Famous Datsun 240Z is a real Ferrari video. I will make it into parody so fatboy won't be able to get it taken down on copyright grounds.
mariodesmo And don't forget the motorcycle jump in The Great Escape. Today a car that can be traced to Steve McQueen can command big 💰 on the auction circuit. Something that Matt Farah should know before he gives his two cents on the McQueen legacy.
Hi Matt good to see you sir, I just happened to get my hands on a Ford Fiestiva 92, how would you set it up with a new engine high rev (starting from 92)
McQueen was an icon and a huge huge car guy !!! thats why there were such bad ass cars in the move its like one of the first fast and furious movies for example it changed the way people saw cars
