I did a 12 hour road trip in 02 Mustang GT with longheaders and an X pipe not cats about 7 years ago... The drone was out of this world... 1/4 trip we had to stop and buy ear plugs... It wasn't all that bad in the comfort zone though. I would definately do it again ! HAHA ! :)
Good video! I own a 5 speed 96 Gt and it’s a blast. I’m 17 and learned how to drive stick in it as well! With these Cali gas prices driving can get expensive but by all means these cars are awesome. Good video🤟
@@ironzurk313it took me 2 days of practicing to master it but after a few days I was a natural! I had 0 experience with manual transmission before this. It helps if you have a friend or someone to guide you and give you tips along the way. If not youtube helped me pretty well as well
I had a '96 GT 5-speed and really liked it. Only real mechanical problem I had was the intake manifold cracking. I cranked down on it one time and was suddenly in a cloud. First I thought it might be from fire but turned out to be steam from the manifold break. I miss the 'Stang but recently bought a 2011 Crown Vic P7B in cherry condition. Quite a bit larger than the Mustang but same good power and handling.
I know this is old but just a note, those intake manifolds for all the SN-95s had a problem with cracking. Can't remember if there was a recall but I had to replace mine before I eventually put a super charger in.
Wow I really enjoyed your video! I inherited a 2003 Mustang GT with some modifications. It had been 38 years since I had driven a manual, but drove it home 12 hours away. It was surprisingly so easy to Handel! Not sure which gas to put in it, but it has driven fine for me the past year. I have a few minor problems to fix like the window and mirror housing and switch along with a slow leak in the A/C line. I’m also thinking about replacing the front bumper and fog lights. I’m so thankful for it and I just take it out for a cruise one or twice a week. Thanks for sharing your experiences.
For reference on how easy it is to learn how to drive stick in this car. In a 96 GT 1st gear if you need it to will get you to highway speeds and 2nd to insterstate speeds, I have taken off in 4th gear (not recommended). The problems is that this car is known for having a long clutch, and as it is a pony/sports car the gears are really close together, I you can handle that though the car is a really good one to learn how to drive manual in as it is really forgiving.
I had bought one as my first manual and it’s been really intimidating, but this video has been a huge confidence booster, thank you and amazing video. Easy sub.
I currently daily a 1997 Mitsubishi 3000GT SL. Cool cars. You never see them around, but I’m just itching for a new edge Mustang GT as my new daily (my weekend car is a 2022 C8 Corvette lol). I’ve always been a Mustang guy at heart. My first car ever was a 2010 V6 auto, then a brand new 2016 Ecoboost auto, bought the 3000GT to learn manual on!!! traded the Ecoboost a couple of years later for a used 2016 GT *MANUAL* which I eventually traded in for my new C8 corvette. Now a daily the 3000GT, but want another Mustang GT badly and the new edge is so tempting! Need another V8 stick shift Stang in my life
I miss my 04 gt so fun but terrible on gas mileage I got about 200 miles to a full tank very fun to drive and still one of the best sounds especially with some headers and a xpipe
I have a 2001 mustang V6 stick shift with 191k on it and it drives great, never had any issues except for the convertible top with some stitching issues…I’d love to restore it
im saving for one right now in 2-3 months i will own one of these or a cobra. it will be my first time owning a v8 every shift sounds soo...good. sorry i cant wait
If you are hella sensitive, do not buy this car. I’ve driven a GT on long road trips, been in bumper to bumper traffic, and a lot of city driving and I never ever once felt annoyed or uncomfortable. Buy a Ford Focus or something instead
I miss my 2000 white Mustang GT. I had “cold air intake” whatever that is and “low profile tires” 🤷🏻♀️ but either way I miss the way the engine sounded and shifting gears
My brother, friend and I all had 2000 mustang GT's (had, i sold mine sadly but hope to get another soon) and we went to visit a friend in Albuquerque, NM from the DFW TX area, it was about a 7-8 hour drive to our spot for the night and our cars did phenomenally, my brother and i paid 2500 bucks for ours, our friend paid slightly more, and we were all comfortable, fit our luggage fine, and really only our asses got sore and mainly me cuz i have no cushioning on my ass and my seats were shit lol but i had 3.73's and the other two were stock 3.27's, all 5-speeds, i got 22-23 mpg and they got 23-24 going about 85-90 the whole way (with passing, winds, and other messing around) which isnt bad when they were rated at 24-25 on the highway stock with those ratings being at 55-65 lol
I am 6'6" and just bought a 2001 SVT Cobra today. I fit and have loads of headroom and solid enough leg room. For reference, i once test drove a 2017 Lincoln MKZ 3.0 twin turbo AWD and my head was pushing up against the roof. And had limited room. I also own a 2015 Fusion 2.0 ecoboost AWD and have more room than both the Cobra and MKZ.
Hey there man I bought a 2000 ford mustang gt it’s manual do you think you can give me some tips on how to learn driving in manual I’m having a hard time learning it.
I bought a manual transmission 2003 mustang GT premium with 169k convertible for 4k .. the older gentleman just got back from the navy and it was one car he didn't drive .. it's my first mustang . My other 5 cars are 4 Hondas and one k swapped Integra.
ur left foot has to be on the clutch to shift gear or you will fuck up ur transmission. emergencey break is just like a automatic car and you can put it down whenever
@@HxlyPJ1 you use your left foot for the clutch, then right foot for the break and gas pedals. if ur coming to a stop like at a red light or a stop sign, you should put the break and the clutch in so you don’t stall. if you know the red light is longer than normal (multiple roads intersecting) you can put it in neutral and hold the break in.
Hopefully I come back to this video laughing at my comment but I just picked at a 2v with a pro charger. I’ve learned stick in my neighbors Miata but sitting in this car feels terrifying. Idk if I can handle it😂
Learn the catch point in your car when you sit still practicing slowly easing off the clutch and feel when it starts to roll from my experience they catch very high once you get used to it you will know what to do
@@coreyburns2074 I figured it out a while back it was just the clutch plate when it gets heated up it wouldnt grab for some reason and I thought I was doing something wrong
@@cobracarlos wasn’t that bad. i just had to lower the seat all the way down to the floor and scoot the seat all the way back 😂😂 other then that it was fine
I have a 2003 Mustang GT, its a V8, and a 5-Speed Manual, but whenever I work during most nights, I'm always using my mom's 2020 GMC SUV which is a 4 cylinder... Simply because I don't like wasting gas on my 8 Cylinder Mustang GT, cuz she be swallowing gas like a MF 😂😂

Was is easy to learn manual in a 96? I'm 16 and looking for a 99-04 gt and don't have much experience with stick.
@@ironzurk313 it’s not hard, it just takes some patience! I was able to learn in like less than 2 hours

hey man, this video helped me decide to get a manual 2003 mustang as my first car, great vid man👍
I have a 2001 Bullitt. Sits a little lower than the GT. It is a fun drive. It has 65,000 miles on it now.

They are great cars it’s never too late to get another one!
Got a 2004 mustang 4 days ago as a early birthday day gift my first car I ever had
Congrats! Have fun with it!
@@cobracarlos thanks 🙌
how much does something like this cost? Minus the mods, completely stock. Trying to get into one
Depending location majority of places and if it’s a clean no need to get work done usually 3000-5000
manual swapping mine in the upcoming weeks just ordered all the parts

I wouldn’t say the gas mileage is terrible though. Isn’t it rated for 17/26 city/hwy
Yea that’s definitely relative, depends on what you compare it to, my Mach e gets better gas mileage though 😂

Hey there man I bought a 2000 ford mustang gt it’s manual do you think you can give me some tips on how to learn driving in manual I’m having a hard time learning it.
Give it more gas and slow clutch release from a stop going to second gear. Don’t rush what your doing. People will wait. Good luck.

Actually the gas mileage is not bad at all average 25mph hwy I got a hemi 5.7 also and that has terrible gas mileage at 18 mpg compared to the 4.6L
what front bumper do you have?
Hi was ur foot on the clutch or the brake to put it in gear and the emergency brake down
ur left foot has to be on the clutch to shift gear or you will fuck up ur transmission. emergencey break is just like a automatic car and you can put it down whenever
@@Kank6235 ok how do you brake?
@@HxlyPJ1 you use your left foot for the clutch, then right foot for the break and gas pedals. if ur coming to a stop like at a red light or a stop sign, you should put the break and the clutch in so you don’t stall. if you know the red light is longer than normal (multiple roads intersecting) you can put it in neutral and hold the break in.
@@HxlyPJ1 in neutral it won’t stall, but in gear you have to be moving or have the clutch in for it not to stall.
