I ended up buying this very same car back in April 2019. I was wondering what the number #338 was in the rear view mirror until I saw this video. Thank you for breaking in my Mustang lol!
@Kennedy Grey This is a 5.0L GT, it uses a cross plane 1-3-5-7. You are confusing it with the the flat plane on the GT350 vehicle that has the vodoo 5.2L motor. Most newer performance fuel injected vehicles now have tunes that include added drama to the exhaust by aiding the vehicle with crackles and pops.
Just do PP2, drive it on the sport cup 2s until they die, in like 10k miles, and then replace them with sport 4s tires, safer in wet and plenty of grip still to maybe race it. Or just get a second pair of rims and use the factory ones with the sport cup 2s for track days.
I purchased my 2018 Mustang GT Premie PP2, manual, in 8/2018 from a dealer for $48,600. It’s black on black and always turns heads and collects compliments where ever I go. It’s a beast of a car and a total joy to drive. I had a Roush cold air intake kit and flash drive installed by a dealer to remove any warranty issues should something break. I’m loving the magna ride because it removes an all time stickler with me. I like to go in hard and come out fast and hate when a car sways, rolls or leans to the outside of a turn, not with magna ride. When on the interstate going around a city and you come to an under pass with a down hill and sharp curve no need to lift. It sticks good except starting out from a stop. At speed the car definitely demands both eyes on the road and in the direction of travel and anything else can only be a quick flash look and back forward again. Unless you are cruising on a smooth level surface attempting to do something on the display like input a destination it can be a monumental task. I try and race it on track days whenever possible and enjoy the option to set up the suspension, exhaust and tuning all by moving a few switches. It’s addictive cause when I’m not able to drive it for a couple of days or more I truly miss it. It’s the same with my wife cause when we are going somewhere local we both want to drive so we agree on either driving there or on the return trip. What’s fair is fair. Thanks for your review.
Great review - no rubbish, up to the point, no rediculous editing, very informative content and nice cut. Love the way you go about presenting in a highly factual but yet enthusiastic manner.
Yeah, I've got an SRT 392 with the adjustable suspension. It handles fine enough for me - especially in Sport and Track modes. I've heard the new Widebody Challengers with the 305's all around handle the best of them all. We are living in great times when it comes to American Muscle/Sports cars - no matter what brand!
Amen brother, I read an article via car & driver, when i googled, best handling challengers ever...and between the camaro zl1 & the mustang gt, the t / a 392 was damn near close to topping those in everything bro. I always loved 'stangs, but my kid, ( and me kinda ) think the mopar easily looks the best. that t / a 392, is really intriguing me fam, i might have to go there, plus, im a big dude,( 6'2 240 ) and i like big booty chicks, those little muscle cars, simply aint doin' it my man...lol
It’s a little ironic that the Performance Pack 2 is only available with a manual transmission but a Mustang GT with the Performance Pack 1 and an automatic transmission is faster 0-60 mph and in the 1/4 mile. My buddy bought a 2019 Mustang GT with the Performance Pack 1 and 10 speed automatic transmission because of a physical disability keeps him from driving a manual transmission. He loves his car. He has already lowered it and had the dealership install the new Roush 2650 supercharger along with a custom tune and exhaust and is now pushing just over 800 horsepower at the crank. He’s run 10.5 second 1/4 mile times at over 130 mph consistently at Pacific Raceway near Seattle. His car is an absolute beast considering he’s only added a few aftermarket upgrades.
It’s crazy how they made these wheels. When I played the Crew, I put these exact wheels, I searched online to see what brand it was and I could not find them. You don’t know how excited I am. I’m getting a gt350 and switching to these wheels
Great review and straight to the point. I'm loving the sports cars the American car companies are putting out today. If I hadn't bought my new ZL1, the Mustang GT PP2 or GT350 would've been my next choice. Of course manual transmission only for me.
I have that car, but with pp1, same seats everything. I had a 17 gt350, we were not loving the flat plane crank engine, just not enough low end torque. Plus I now have the new 10 speed auto and I LOVE it!! I have short legs and the clutch in the 350 was killing me. Hubby just got a used 2015 gt, manual, but he does enjoy that 10 speed auto, it is so fast.
I would simply change the tire. Solving the wet weather problem. I tires are wider you can put an harder compound and better rain ability wihtout losses to the "regular" Mustang.
Great review Steve. Your spot on about the steering and big wheels/tires. These cars walk. I have to smile because it doesn't matter who the reviewer is, when they drive the 18 GT at some point there is always a little smirk or a smile. For the money you can't beat a mustang gt.
I bought the PP2, not because I couldn't swing the $60k for the GT350, but because I couldn't justify spending $20k more on something that has a hard time running away from me in the PP2. Is the 350 a better car? Absolutely, but no where near $20k better.
saleen367 the gt350 will put laps on a pp2 with the same driver. The brakes are smaller and swap the cup2 tires and even on highly technical tracks it's a drastic difference. The PP2 is quite a value, but there's already vids out showing the 350 walk the PP2 in the straightaways and dive and turn in harder on technicals. And not for nothing I bought my 350 for $52k, so show me where I can buy a PP2 for $32k and I'll be on my way
@@angreygt3508 your 350 also probably doesn't have the premium package or any of the other options. The car in this video has pretty much every option.
Daniel Blaney my 350 has bigger brakes a wider body, a better suspension, a better transmission, trans and diff coolers and 75 more horsepower with a better sounding engine/exhaust. The ONLY thing I'd trade off a 350 for the PP2 is the seats. If I want to drive something based off comfort or interior amenities, there's plenty of cars that better fit that niche.
If I were to have one of these, I'd probably buy it in the summer. Then in the colder months, I'd just swap the tires out for a set of michelins, or any comparable tire. And for me at least, that would be a solid, fun daily.
Actually ...GT350 has better transmission, Tremec vs. MT-82 gear spread with slightly higher torque rating... but you already knew that. The MT-82 (in this newer version - does have a better gear spread than last version of the PP equipped mustangs, but that a whole different matter). Ford keeps "tuning" the 6-speed manual by changing 5th gear and 6th gear to either 1.1 + over drive or double overdrive... playing with the EPA mpg vs. better acceleration.
Great looking car. Really looks slick with the new wheels and front end. Just needs to be lowered an inch and a half to get rid of the crazy wheel gap.
So this is Ford's way of offering a Porsche 911 GTS in a Mustang-level option that ticks the right boxes without leaving you worried about not considering the GT3 ... I mean, GT350. Nice going, Ford.
I love mustangs, and this is probably the best looking one this side of the previous gen GT500. But 51K for a suspension setup and tires and rims is a little ridiculous to me. For that price point you can get into a mildy used GT350, with more hp,torque,brakes, tires...get the picture? Not to mention ( fanboys ) an SS1LE that will still outrun the PP2. You can find them all day high 30’s to low 40’s right off the showroom floor.
+... I doubt if anyone, in the USA, who paid way over sticker for GT350, is going to let one go cheap! ....But 51K for a suspension setup and tires and rims is a little ridiculous to me. For that price point you can get into a mildy used GT350, with more hp,torque,brakes, tires...get the picture?... Just because "MSRP" was listed at 54K, doesn't mean many of them went out the door at that price. You will need to adjust your ambitions a little further North - even for a used one. I suspect the GT350 will hold that premium price much longer (regardless of mileage, wear and tear or age) ...especially since the current versions, 2019 have increased in price too) and Ford has announced they are A. limiting the number they wil produce in future and (possibly?) cease production by 2020. (that was the latest news I heard). I think, if I wanted a GT350 as a collectble.... I'd invest in GT350R!
Great car, though Ford needs to resolve the durability issue with the cast aluminum shift forks on the 6spd manual. The 10spd auto (sacrilege to me and others) is much more reliable and not half bad (probably faster on a drag strip or general acceleration) ... The issue appears to mostly affect the 2018 6spd manual. No solid evidence on the 2019 models... yet. Your mileage may vary. Void where prohibited.
Very nice. Direct and port injection is nice and shows Ford is learning from others (Toyota). A car that rewards the driver with the only drawback being the price. I wonder if these (PP2) will be on the lot or order only... Oh Steve, ditch the "jazz" music in your intro, it's unpleasant; however, I'm all for more glorious soumds of this mustang's exhaust as you rip through the gears. #savethemanuals
After spending a day at the track driving the pp2 and the 350 I have to say that ford dropped the ball. The 350 is a much better track car. They should have gave the pp2 all season tires and the 10 speed. That way the people that didn't get the 350 because of the manual could have had something close in performance and street ready tires... the rims are killer, they are definitely the best part of the pp2 package.
I believe he said pilot sport cup 2’s right? It’s not like it’s going to kill you if you’re driving like a normal person but they’re not the best when wet.. I have them on my focus rs
I've never own a pony but I'll tell you this it would be a manual,to put a automatic in a pony is like putting instant grits in a southerner not going to happen l😎
Please kindly inform your sister this is eminently more practical than the Mercedes AMG GT R. I'm 5'9", and I've sat in the back seat while my friends drove. My wife & I have stuffed the trunk and rear seats during many a supermarket haul. One time, it was stuffed with birthday balloons, and a couple of times, toilet paper packs. Hey, they were on sale. I couldn't do that in my previous coupes.
I have a 10 speed '18, and wouldn't buy the auto again. It is a very interesting trans, and while it can be a blast to drive in its own way, I wish I had bought the 6 speed manual. And I would if I was going to do it again. Frankly, at times its annoying enough that I've considered trading it for a manual, which would be a costly decision. The 10 speed is best in sport mode, or track mode, where you expect shifts to be firm and quick. In the normal setting though, it is nearly impossible to drive it smoothly below 25mph, and smooth is what you would expect in normal mode. Whether accelerating or decelerating, it really needs a different programming for lower speed shifts. It constantly hunts for the right gear. Lift throttle at the wrong time when accelerating, and it slams a shift. Trying to come to a normal, brake-modulated stop, the trans is so busy downshifting/engine braking that it makes passengers (and me) do the bobble-head. I get tired of that. And the thing takes forever to go from reverse to drive, or from drive to reverse - a real pain in the ass when in a busy parking lot or backing into a street. Yes, it is a sports car. But that shouldn't mean it misbehaves when driven like a normal car. All that being said, I still love driving this car. Putting a foot into the throttle elicits a big time grin. But I'll buy the 6 speed next time around, if there is a next time.
I bought a GT. I drove the Eco, and it was fun, but the V-8 is at a whole different level. Even just cruising around the rumble is spectacular, but at full tilt....just, wow! Self restraint is difficult. It can turn me into a juvenile delinquent in the blink of an eye.
2whl4re yea I’d love to own a new gt I’m sure 460 ponies under the hood doesn’t get old. Maybe if you get an aftermarket tune it will help sort out the shift points on that 10 speed.
@@2whl4re Just get some paddle shift extenders and drive it in S. It's fun paddle shifting and it won't do the herky jerky on you. It has a torque converter instead of dual clutch so there is a little delay but it doesn't bother me. Would you drive a lambo around in D or would you paddle shift it?

Or a GT500???
Gt350 any day, I have a pp2 aswell. It is fun but nothing beats the 5.2
Does anyone know how or where I can find one of there I’ve tried so hard looking but no luck🥲
It looks like they just threw wide wheels on and called it a day.
a bugatti chiron is faster. lol i had to since everyone else is bringing up other cars.
Those tires will last you 2 weeks, and all the journos are giving Ford, Dodge et al a standing ovation. Ridiculous.
Felix Ayala at least it’ll be a fun two weeks
Yea if you do burnouts, smoking doughnuts and drifting every time your behind the wheel.
I've never own a pony but I'll tell you this it would be a manual,to put a automatic in a pony is like putting instant grits in a southerner not going to happen l😎
Please kindly inform your sister this is eminently more practical than the Mercedes AMG GT R. I'm 5'9", and I've sat in the back seat while my friends drove. My wife & I have stuffed the trunk and rear seats during many a supermarket haul. One time, it was stuffed with birthday balloons, and a couple of times, toilet paper packs. Hey, they were on sale. I couldn't do that in my previous coupes.
cadsux Love it! Will do!
The 10 speed auto is straight butter. I’m sorry guys but the manual is old tech it’s time to move on.
I have a 10 speed '18, and wouldn't buy the auto again. It is a very interesting trans, and while it can be a blast to drive in its own way, I wish I had bought the 6 speed manual. And I would if I was going to do it again. Frankly, at times its annoying enough that I've considered trading it for a manual, which would be a costly decision.
The 10 speed is best in sport mode, or track mode, where you expect shifts to be firm and quick. In the normal setting though, it is nearly impossible to drive it smoothly below 25mph, and smooth is what you would expect in normal mode. Whether accelerating or decelerating, it really needs a different programming for lower speed shifts. It constantly hunts for the right gear. Lift throttle at the wrong time when accelerating, and it slams a shift. Trying to come to a normal, brake-modulated stop, the trans is so busy downshifting/engine braking that it makes passengers (and me) do the bobble-head. I get tired of that. And the thing takes forever to go from reverse to drive, or from drive to reverse - a real pain in the ass when in a busy parking lot or backing into a street.
Yes, it is a sports car. But that shouldn't mean it misbehaves when driven like a normal car. All that being said, I still love driving this car. Putting a foot into the throttle elicits a big time grin. But I'll buy the 6 speed next time around, if there is a next time.
2whl4re I’ve heard the 10 speed doesn’t pair well with the eco boost engine. You have the gt or eco boost ?
I bought a GT. I drove the Eco, and it was fun, but the V-8 is at a whole different level. Even just cruising around the rumble is spectacular, but at full tilt....just, wow! Self restraint is difficult. It can turn me into a juvenile delinquent in the blink of an eye.
2whl4re yea I’d love to own a new gt I’m sure 460 ponies under the hood doesn’t get old. Maybe if you get an aftermarket tune it will help sort out the shift points on that 10 speed.
@@2whl4re Just get some paddle shift extenders and drive it in S. It's fun paddle shifting and it won't do the herky jerky on you. It has a torque converter instead of dual clutch so there is a little delay but it doesn't bother me. Would you drive a lambo around in D or would you paddle shift it?
