+Xenios9 Yes, Xenios9. As you probably saw in the video, Chris (our presenter) highlights some of those traits on this 2015 GT. We feel Ford did a good job blending the past and the present/future together without making it look strange. Thanks for your comment and thanks for watching, too!
We agree, DA REAL JACKIE CHAN. Have you seen pics of the updated 2018 model? We definitely want to see that one in person before we make a verdict on its styling changes. Thanks for watching!
I love my 2015 Ruby Red Performance pack GT took delivery last November 1st one of the first to get my mustang in all of New England. Have since added an MRT mid pipe and a Magna Flow comp exhaust.
Peter R That sounds sweet, Peter R. While the stock 5 Liter sounds decent enough, we don't blame you for swapping out that exhaust. Enjoy your ride and thanks for watching!
ZepG Yeah, that was definitely a feature that we wanted to get on camera, ZepG. We're glad you enjoyed it and hope you check out some more of our videos. Thanks for watching!
I just discovered AutoAcademics and I'm catching up on all your videos. Jumped from the 2018 Mustang review to this one. My first car was a mustang also (an '81). So I get it.
I have the 2015 base model GT with two tone interior. The main difference is it doesn't have the preformance pack and togals but still has the all options with out the snow, but has the choice of three steering modes. I average 22 to 23 combined and i also drive 10 over and mainly highway. I love my stang and glad i stayed with it after wreaking my 06. I believe the axle has the 3.51. Yes it is the 6 speed manual.
+Scott Green Thanks for sharing, Scott Green. It's always nice to hear from other Mustang owners out there. An average of 22-23 mpg from a car with 435-hp and 400 lb.-ft. of torque is very impressive to us. Good luck with the car and thanks for watching!
Nicely done. Good comments about the suspension. I don't want track suspension for driving on street. I will most likely NEVER drive on the track, LOL. I want a little bit of refined comfort in my ride. Gimme lots of power though!!!!!!!
+MatthiasAI Yeah, Chris (our presenter) drooled quite a bit, too. This is why he was hiding behind that tree when we said "Action!" LOL Thanks for watching, MatthiasAI!
I'm in the UK and have an '06 V8 GT. I had to do a lot to get it going quicker and louder. I'm pretty happy now but will never stop modding. I've seen the new S550 here and I really do not like that front end. Rear quarter looks great but not the front. However, the Shelby upgrades do make a difference to the looks. As for the sound, I would expect it to sound a lot beefier stock, although I understand it is a blank canvas for modifying. Great video and pretty good review. Thumbs up!.... and slowly I am liking the S550 more, although if I do get one it MUST be a V8, MUST be a manual and MUST NOT be standard!
+Mursyid Omar Mursyid Omar, thank you for the kind words. We truly appreciate it. And we're sure Chris will too (if we tell him, LOL). If he keeps receiving accolades like this, he might start asking for an extra package of Twizzlers in his pay. At any rate, thank you again for your comments and if you haven't done so already, please consider subscribing to our channel. We can use all the help we can get. Thanks for watching!
By the way, did you guys tested the ones with automatic transmission? I'm interested to know any reviews/feedback. From the review I understood that you can't get the performance package with the automatic ones.
Mursyid Omar We did have a brief stint with an automatic EcoBoost Mustang, but were not able to do a full test on one. It was a nice car, as well, but we haven't tested an automatic GT.
Well, since you watched the video, you know that Chris agrees with you 1000%, Rafa Rafa. The 2016 Mustang GT coupe with a manual transmission starts at $32,395. However, Ford is now only listing the 2017 Mustang GT on its website with a starting M.S.R.P. of $32,645. Hope that helps and thanks for watching!
Yeah, stock Mustangs have always been rather muted when compared to some of the other sports/muscle/pony cars on the market. That is, except for the new GT 350/R. Check it out here! ua-cam.com/video/ljJ7TqpzpT4/v-deo.html. Enjoy and thanks for watching! Oh, and thanks for the kind words, too!
As Matt Pedersen replied before us, yes it does have hill start assist. That's becoming a common feature on all types of cars with manual transmissions now. Even the current-gen Corvette has it. Thanks for watching!
+Mustang Jones Thank you very much, Mustang Jones. We truly appreciate the kind words. From the sound of your name, you may like Mustangs almost as much as Chris (our presenter) does. LOL If that's true, make sure you check out our EcoBoost review, as well, if you haven't done so already - ua-cam.com/video/me0XOcBOlck/v-deo.html. Thanks for watching!
Jeremiah P Hey, thanks a lot, Jeremiah P. If you get the chance, tell a friend (or 30) about the video. Heck, tell them about our channel! We can use all the help we can get. And if you haven't done so, please "THUMBS UP" the video. We appreciate you and thanks for watching!
The new body is so beautifull I can't explaine. But read somewhere that you should never get the first year of a new model since their can be a lot of mistakes that they fix in the second third and fourth year of its lifeline do you agree with this are their any rumors about the 15' models having mistakes in them or errors in the system?
+Annoying While that can be true, it's hard to say not to buy a car in its first year of production. Now, we may shy away from buying the first run of an all-new car, but after 5 or 6 months have passed, you should be able to get a feel for any immediate issues as people will start posting them online. So far, we haven't heard anything specific about the 2015 Mustang in regards to reliability on any of the models. But we haven't researched them for that either. Luckily, that info is just a Google search away. We appreciate your comments and thank you again for the sub!
+Annoying What a statement and question! And from such a pretty gal :) I too, find this mustang hard to not stare at. But to answer your question, There was a lot of love put into this car, as it shows for sure. Its safe to say that this is as good as it gets for now. If you have Netflix, checkout the documentary "a faster horse" or it should even be on youtube. Theres also "the making of the 2015 ford mustang" on youtube. We'll have ours one day :D Cheers!
Mitch Connor You are actually the 2nd person this week who we know of that recommended watching "A Faster Horse" this week. Guess we need to add it to our queue!
contane 21 It can be hard going back to car payments once you have lived without them, but cars like this can definitely make the payments worth every penny. Not to mention, the 5-liter V8 in the GT is fantastic. Thanks for watching!
awesome dude thanks, i've thinking about selling my Camaro i been building and trade it and add some cash to it. maybe i can find a nice 89-2004 mustang GT that i will fall in love with :D awesome i subbed to your channel
fsugrad03 Ha! It actually sounded pretty decent in person, for a stock Mustang, that is. We spent some time with the EcoBoost 4-cylinder, as well, but were not able to video that one. Hopefully, we'll have an opportunity to do so at a later date. Now that car sounded like a 4-cylinder. LOL All this 5-Liter needs is a nice set of cat-backs and it'll sound as mean as it runs. Thanks for the kind words, fsugrad03, and thanks for watching!
+Adrienne handsome We hear ya, Adrienne handsome. Chris (our presenter) has been trying to figure out ways for us to "retest" the GT in the name of all that is good for the people of the world. Unfortunately, Ford hasn't bought in to it yet, but anything can happen. LOL Thanks for watching!
sumguy8 Hey, sumguy8. Shelbys have always been preferred over the garden variety Mustangs, so we won't try to argue with you there. However, that '67 GTA convertible was definitely something to look at (and listen to) with its hi-po 289 and 4-barrel carbs. Enjoy your car, and oh yeah, no offense taken! Thanks for watching!
***** I was messing with you, thats a good line of mustangs you have in your past. I was lucky enough to have a father who bought an original shelby in 69 as a 3rd owner. Needless to say, Ive never driven a car on the track that felt so raw, But I love the videos, keep 'em coming man!
+trebombs4life Actually they come in pretty handy when it's dark outside. Keeps you from stepping in puddles (hence the name, puddle lights) or other smelly stuff that you don't want on your shoes or your Mustang's carpets. Many cars have them today and premium makes, such as Audi, charge a premium for the fancy logos like the "running horse." Thank you for sharing, trebombs4life and thanks for watching, too!
We appreciate you taking the time to share that with us, jack mama. We are curious, however, if you honestly have a vested interest in helping AutoAcademics improve its video production, or if you're like those on UA-cam who have nothing productive to offer. If it is the former, we'd love for you to share with us the specific points where we were "unorganized" and "rambling aimlessly." Please send them to www.autoacademics.net, as this is not the forum for that kind of conversation. Now if you didn't have our best interest in mind, and just wanted to say something rude, well, congratulations. At any rate, thanks for watching.
i like how it's more modern than ever but it still throws homage to the 60s and 70s mustang, you agree?
+Xenios9 Yes, Xenios9. As you probably saw in the video, Chris (our presenter) highlights some of those traits on this 2015 GT. We feel Ford did a good job blending the past and the present/future together without making it look strange. Thanks for your comment and thanks for watching, too!
Coming from a Chevrolet guy, Ford did a fantastic job on the design of this car.
We agree, DA REAL JACKIE CHAN. Have you seen pics of the updated 2018 model? We definitely want to see that one in person before we make a verdict on its styling changes. Thanks for watching!
I love my 2015 Ruby Red Performance pack GT took delivery last November 1st one of the first to get my mustang in all of New England. Have since added an MRT mid pipe and a Magna Flow comp exhaust.

Hey thanks for the good review! I never see reviewers use the line lock mode, you made my day... or night I guess.
ZepG Yeah, that was definitely a feature that we wanted to get on camera, ZepG. We're glad you enjoyed it and hope you check out some more of our videos. Thanks for watching!

Mark Whittington-Buckley Hey, Mark. Thank you for sharing. And thanks for watching, too!
Awesome review from an awesome presenter. Love the "nostalgic bliss" title.
+Mursyid Omar Mursyid Omar, thank you for the kind words. We truly appreciate it. And we're sure Chris will too (if we tell him, LOL).

8:46 pretty much sums it up...
Brah, where'd you come from at the beginning from behind that damn tree? I'm legit curious. I'm only asking the important questions.
Great video man! Awesome review!
Lucas Briones Thanks, Lucas Briones. We appreciate the kinds words. And we also appreciate you watching!
how much is the base one, that thing is a beauty
Well, since you watched the video, you know that Chris agrees with you 1000%, Rafa Rafa. The 2016 Mustang GT coupe with a manual transmission starts at $32,395. However, Ford is now only listing the 2017 Mustang GT on its website with a starting M.S.R.P. of $32,645. Hope that helps and thanks for watching!
Good video someone actually used the line lock
+Dark Man Yeah. We figured, "why not?" Dark man. LOL We're glad you enjoyed it. We sure did! Thanks for watching!
great review dude! the 5.0 exhaust sounds disappointing with stock system. especially compared to Camaro SS and challenger 392.
Yeah, stock Mustangs have always been rather muted when compared to some of the other sports/muscle/pony cars on the market. That is, except for the new GT 350/R. Check it out here! ua-cam.com/video/ljJ7TqpzpT4/v-deo.html. Enjoy and thanks for watching! Oh, and thanks for the kind words, too!
This review was partially responsible for me buying my 16 GT performance pack.
Nice! Glad we could help. Chris loves the Mustang and we're sure you do, too! Thank you for your comments, Jimmy870, and for watching!
I was wondering, do you remember if this car has a hill start assist feature. I'm finding it rather had find the answer to this question.
yes it does
As Matt Pedersen replied before us, yes it does have hill start assist. That's becoming a common feature on all types of cars with manual transmissions now. Even the current-gen Corvette has it. Thanks for watching!
Great Mustang review!

to be honest i would rather grab a base GT and use the money saved from not getting a premium to grab the Performance Package :D
onelasttitan That is always an option if you do not need the extra bells and whistles, onelasttitan. Thanks for watching!
mike b Sweet! Enjoy that ride, mike b. Thanks for watching!
Yeah brother! Best Mustang review on youtube. I want one pretty bad, but gotta get some bills paid off first.

Awesome, i oneday will own a Mustang Gt, but i dont want payments, i currently own 5 cars though but no V8's

contane 21 Hey, contane 21! We appreciate your support! Take care!
Great review!! But this 5.0 sounds like a 4 banger. Come on, Ford!
fsugrad03 Ha! It actually sounded pretty decent in person, for a stock Mustang, that is. We spent some time with the EcoBoost 4-cylinder, as well, but were not able to video that one. Hopefully, we'll have an opportunity to do so at a later date. Now that car sounded like a 4-cylinder. LOL All this 5-Liter needs is a nice set of cat-backs and it'll sound as mean as it runs. Thanks for the kind words, fsugrad03, and thanks for watching!
***** It did sound better during your drive, but the start up was disappointing. Keep up the great reviews!!!
fsugrad03 Thanks, fsugrad03. We appreciate you!
fsugrad03 u baffoon thats why there are aftermarket parts
15Robin15 you're the buffoon! Aftermarket parts? LOL! GROW THE F/#$ up!!

***** I should have mentioned it was actually a 65 (&1/2 if you wanna get technical.) Just bought it in 69. But thanks!
sumguy8 Oh, now that changes everything. '65 Shelby? Boo! Ok, we jest. Those cars are cool, too. LOL
how gay is the mustang logo shining down from the side mirrors? i think its super transgender gay, but i love the mustang
