as a current 2017 Mustang GT owner who dailys their pony, I can agree with the 15-17s
Got a 2016 GT base 6 speed with black interior. Had 29k miles when I bought it for 25 grand (pre covid) I love and so far its been a good bang for the buck for a nice touring car.
Great mustang vid like always!
i have to agree that the "MACH1"may be the best handling option(since the 350 is gone)...it just needs the same power level as the 350.
That 5.2L FP sounds amazing, but I ill keep my Mach's torque on my home track of Mid Ohio (Club config. same Tremec). The 350 might get me down the back straight but from turn 7 (club) all the way to the front straight he will be fighting like hell without those revs. Most of that part of the track is 3rd except for Thunder Valley with a stint in 4th to the entry of the Carousel. I haven't had the chance to go up against a 350 at Mid Ohio yet but I am looking forward to it!! '22 FJG Mach 1 Tremec N0426 + EVERYTHING Steeda makes for the suspension. If I was going to track another Mustang is would be a HP EcoBoost Manual.
I have a 2020 GT PP1 with A10 and it can do everything well, especially with 301A option + Brembo brakes. 😎👍🏁
I have a 2016 Eco with a ROUSH kit (CAI, exhaust, tune) making 375hp. It is a blast to drive!
I have a 17 GT Performance Pack Manual and I love it.. There's nothing better than rowing your own gears..
15-18 GT PP1 manual or auto depending on what you like. It comes with the chassis bracing and tuning, Brembo brakes, and wheels and tires. That’s the best starting foundation.
No mention to V6.
*Cries in cyclone* 😭😭😭😭
They always forget about us lol.... 😭😭
Yeah I love the cyclone too.
Exactly, the V6 is truly underrated and appreciate.
@@cyclonekevin6199 here in the Dominican Republic guys with eco 2.3 are now going after the cyclone. The most reliable engine I've seen so far.
I have a 2021PP1 mustang which comes with the magna ride. As soon as I got the car out on my favorite road I noticed it lurched Out of the turns. Coming out turns there was body roll. I found Your site. And ordered knew springs for my mustang. It was night and day. The car steers beautifully in and out of turns. It’s a pleasure to drive.
My 2020 Mustang Bullitt - LOVE THAT CAR!!!
One of the best mustang videos on UA-cam 👍
Like you said, best bang for the buck depends on one's budget and purpose. For me it was the GT with the pp1 option. I have all the bells and whistles including magna ride and the 10R80 automatic. Then I added Steeda's lowering, and stop the hop kit. I've done the resonator delete and a Roush X pipe, and a JLT catch can. Next up is a cold air intake and E85 tune. I think I'll do a 500 hood to extract that heat better then we'll see from there. Sorry I got long winded but you got me going. Great video guys.
@Uknown2445 most I've talked to like the open air design. One guy I interviewed on my channel swore by it. But yes the Temps will go up, on the other hand the increased air flow more than offsets the rise in temperature. In the end it's all personal preference. If I don't like it I'll still have my stock closed design that I can go back to in a worst case scenario.
I bought a 2019 gt base for 25k right before the pandemic hit.You can't beat that.
That's a phenomenal price to get one!
Congrats!!!
Lucky you you can not touch one for under $32000 used.
We love our 2017 GT premium convertible with Roush CAI, tune, JLT catch can and Steeda H-pipe as a Gran Touring car!
Just got my 2015 GT 6mt. I love driving this thing!! Sounds good looks great and when the boost comes on its party time.
Great video!!
Well, first of all. I really enjoyed your video. It told me just what I wanted to know. I just bought well cared for 2017 GT Premium 6 speed standard with the PP1. 9k miles, one owner with a clean carfax. I think it's a great car. I can actually see out of it !! Not like my 2010 Camaro SS that I sold. Adding a CAI and cat back system to get started. This should be fun !!
I got a 19 premium GT and modified the suspension with Steeda parts. It goes to the car shows and wows with visual mods, then gets driven on road courses for fun. The suspension works well with the progressive rate lowering springs for every day and is predictable when cornering. Everyone has their opinion on what they want for their car. I wanted a car that can do a little of everything while not being too extreme to drive every day if I want to.
my brotjer and my self bought an 18 and a 19 gt a month ag. both with the pp1 his with all the fancy interior bits. so excited for this journy
Dope vid !
2021 Mach 1 may be the "perfect" Mustang ...
Great info
I own a 2017 ecobust mustang... bought it 4 months ago with 74.000 miles stock.
Premam pa rage. It's a fun car to drive . Sports plus moad kids butt
And I gst great gas milage .
My last car was a 2023 v6 mustang. And my new one blow away my old mustang
Love the car ..
Former bmw owner switched to a 2015 ecoboost premium package a while back and like you said it is a gateway to becoming a mustang fanboy. I want a gt next but first a house 😅
I bought my 20 Mustang GT Premium Track Pack 1 with manual new in January and it does everything I want it to do. It handles every bit as well as my 00 Bmw 328 Sport Pack did. It is a great car to build on (my 12 Gt Premium that I still have can use a lot of building, it has 19" square 245/45's but is not a track pack and was really let down when I bought that new. With the non indy rear end, it didn't come close to the Bmw handling, when my son takes the reigns of that one, maybe he will do some suspension and engine tuning). On my new car I would like to go up to the Track Pack 2 wheels and tires and maybe get a little more out of that and then look into suspension mods.
The best 2017 mustang GT base model compare to the other S197 I had. With front and rear sway bar set at 2 setting, vertical link, jacking rail, sub-braces, G-track front bar, strut tower brace, it handle in turn so nice. Question is the red differential bushing will give me road noise or gear noise.Thanks!
I'm happy to be considered your friend
I think it'd be cool to see a kit that would add the components from the PP2 to the PP1
18+ base GT e85 (if available) bolt on’s, minor suspension, weight reduction can do anything very well. Small shot of nitrous and look out.
I got a 2015 GT Performance Pack at 29K this year. Really great car at a really great price.
About to throw on a Power Pack level 2 and it will be at 2018+ levels.
My 2015 has a cai, 2018 intake mani and e85 tune and it is a little faster than stock 10 speeds. Out runs the stock manual gen 3s pretty well though. The 10r80 is nuts
Best bang for your buck is the Mach 1 if you have the budget. While shopping around for a ‘21 GT, I saw several Mach 1s listed for about the same price as a nicely equipped performance pack GT. And the Mach 1 is absolutely stunning in person 🥰
Base model 2021 gt mt,whipple sc,konig ampliforms,Michelin pilots, ford springs, mantic clutch (mic drop)oh yeah steeda stop hop kit too
I’m leaning toward the 2019 Bullitt. It’s a lot of very special components designed into the 550. A bit more $, but a very sweet Stang, which is also with limited production run.
Best overall for me I don't see no other car in my life but a mustang so I want to enjoy that rowing my own gears so there's that money isn't an object
so every S550 is best.......so they're all "special"
Thank you I own a 2019 pp2 I love it
Same here the car is a blast I’m in love with it !
I have a 2020 PP2, awesome car!
Any issues with the car?
I love my 19 Bullitt. Power and class and it's cheaper than a Mach 1
Thought you would mention the GT350 more when it comes to not worrying about $$.
No days neither they to expensive. But i say a base model gt 2020 they do great i ran a low 12 with 20inch wheels it could do better at the track. I use have a 2016 pp1 base wit recaro seats miss it everyday lol best car.
What’s the best bang for your buck in s550 platform for daily/drag occasionally budget car but can be built into a beast
Agreed 💪🏻
Base model with 10 speed auto.
I’m drag building my 2017 manual 5.0 non performance pack base model
You forgot the Bullitt Mustang and of course the California Special
Right!? Museum pieces.
For modding beyond 800hp Gen 2 is "King Daddy"
So bad car prices went up like crazy, I am waiting and saving to get a new gt or a pp2 in a reasonable price 😅
watching this after buying a 2018 3.7 6 speed cause i couldn't find a 6 speed eco boost lol
No honorable mention of the 2019 Bullitt and GT350r? The Bullitt is ‘killer’ out of the box considering it’s a manual.
How about Best for daily driving to work commute about 100 miles daily with supercharger?
V6 is the best bang for buck 100%. Lighter than the Ecoboost, handles better, with bolt-ons and tune can make 350hp linear as opposed to turbo'd, and if you DIY turbo it you can spend under $3-4k and be making much more reliable power, around 550-600whp safely on stock motor. And best of all the head gaskets don't blow on a completely stock low mileage motor (like the Ecoboost does.) With all that considered, The V6 can also be found cheaper at comparable mileage to the ecoboost
I have a pp2 so I’m partial to that.
Best drag 2018 -2021 PP1 auto 10r80… that’s all I care about!
@steedaautosports Do yall have a video comparison between the PP2 and Mach 1? What are the key differences?
We don't have a video but we do have an article that covers all the differences here --> www.steeda.com/mach-1-vs-gt-pp2-breakdown
@steedaautosports GREAT write up! Thank you!
I’m not a fan of the 2018+ styling personally. My 2015 gt was cheaper than an 18+ ecoboost when I bought it! Threw on a couple bolt ons and a tune and I can compete with the gen 3 so that’s good enough for me
Is it a manual or automatic?
@@kennedysantos9634 it’s the 6 speed auto, unfortunately. I’ve been thinking really hard about trading it in for something with a stick
@@enflamedpapaya8592 has it been reliable? I’ve here bad and good things about the 15-17s so I don’t know how reliable they are?
@@juancervantes1053 I’ve had it since 2019 and it’s been very reliable. Has a couple rattles in the interior and a weird gas cap failure that went away on its own. Highly recommend one if you’re looking for an s550
I’m waiting for the next gen mustang!!
We’re excited, too! -Chris
Me also
I have a 2020 pp1 it does really great at all things it’s a 10speed and it’s quick no doubt about it
👍
Okay so the yellow 20 is keeping up 200k cars. So how much $ is put in the yellow car? So I got the v6 and just waiting for the engine to die which shouldn't take long its a FORD after all. Engine swap....
Damn even manual gen 2s can’t hang with the 10r80s?
I agree with most of the list, except GT500 isn't really a track car, it's a glory lap car. You show up at an event and do one warm up lap and one amazing flying lap. Anything more and you'll be burning through tires and brakes in a single day. Not to mention that you'll be refueling after every session which is not even viable on many tracks.
You mentioned that the Q350 Ecoboost has a turbo kit that beat a 1LE, a GT350, and the Mach 1. But it only has 300+ wheel hp?🤔
It does not have a turbo kit, it has a steeda handling kit, performance pack, plus cold air intake, computer tune, and catback exhaust. The EcoBoost with steeda suspension and bolt on naturally aspirated power upgrades is much lighter in the front end making them out handle/corner the stock big boys.
It beats them on a road course like a Miata does. It handles better in the corners, but falls down in the straights by comparison. It’s strange that they are only making that power with those mods, since a similarly done ecoboost with a 93 tune should be low 300’s wheel, and running e30 should be 350+
It’s a full bolt-on stock turbo car. You can see all the modifications on the build right here: www.steeda.com/mustang-ecoboost-q350-build
I owned a 15 EcoBoost for 4 years and modded it. It will eat a GT and many other cars for lunch on a road course. The weight difference is huge in Corners as you can carry more speed into the corner and get back in the throttle earlier. I own a 19 GT and it is night and day the difference.
Base GT is good enough with Orange Fury lol
2021 Mach 1 with the Tremec MT! Reason why I m getting one soon. Do you guys have a distributor in Europe?
Yes, we do! You can reach out to our European branch at steeda.co.uk
@@steedaautosports awesome. Thanks. I guess the parts fit any European Mustang and future Mustang Mach 1? I m based in Belgium so there might have differences with the US version.
A little difficult to find a PP2 & is a daily driver ~->NOT👀
PP1 could always be brought up to beyond with Steeda
The S550 is a best ‘performance value’ for the money
and ⤵️
-> Steeda = Mustang Learning Channel
Waiting on my HP Mach 1. Then blower time. GT500 wha?!
Ford should have kept building the gt350
350R or bust
No 2015+ V6 love?
For the money, the EcoBoost just offers better performance and has more aftermarket support. We do offer parts and upgrades for the V6 S550 though.
www.steeda.com/2015-2019-mustang-parts
I picked up 2018 gt with 2k miles only advice I'd suggested is don't get the eco you'll be bored and disappointed
Gt350r
Wish they would do the 3.0 or 3.5 ecoboost mustang
What about a Bullitt??
Bullitt Smulliitt
Is just a more expensive manual gt not worth on the Peformance aspect same with the mach 1 just buy a used gt350 cheaper & faster and you get the voodoo engine
Don’t buy a FOUR cylinder car. They will burn up due to the rpm’s it runs at. You can turbo charge a small engine and expect it to last. The turbo takes time to kick in and it runs hot which means it will burn out faster and use oil. He forgot about the V6 2015-2017 mustang which is the best bang for the buck it gets 32 miles to the gallon and it will destroy a 4 cylinders
No love for the Bullitt owners? lol
Eco =Broke
Nobody wants a eco boost your trying to sell parts lol
We actually do get quite a lot of traffic on the Ecoboost and currently have one as our race car for autocross.
If you’re going to buy an eco boost just don’t buy a mustang period lol
We actually use an EcoBoost as our autocross and some track use car with it outperforming many higher-priced cars. -Sam
Just sold my 2017 mustang gt with only 7k miles and 6 track days, i babied that thing garaged kept so when the ac went out (evap unit) i felt
Betrayed and the pos got sold, first american car after all japanese and safe to say ford is a pos and they are gonna ruin the only car they no make, if i get another car am gonna try my luck with a new camaro or
Low mileages vette hopefully those will be mlte reliable. Sad from ford
Why didn't you just fix(evap)it?
@@walteranderson5090 i get this question a lot and their is so many answer but it comes down to the fact that if i fixed it it was more than likely going to happen again because this evap defect affects so many ford products, now when i bought this car new i was already worried about reliability being that all ive had was japanese vehicles, so when this happened i figured it was just gonna get worse also the did not meet my expectations for fun and sportiness it was a boat even with 3k worth of suspensions mods, when i was able to sell the car for only 3k under what i bought it for i jumped on it! Am now a proud owner of the best sport car i could buy for
My budget that i know is reliable Mazda miata.
@@gigi9467 ok. I had a 2018. No problems with anything. Sold it, my mistake.
I've ordered a 2022. Fingers crossed no issues ahead.
Safe motoring.
@@walteranderson5090 yea, looking back i should of bought the camaro not cuz i think it would of been more reliable but cuz it is a better sport car
Than the mustang and the way i was using my mustang would of fit perfectly cuz it was only used for werkends and track, i considered it before buying the miata but the dact that it is more than likely
Going to get discontinued and still worried about the reliability held me back from pulling the trigger. Have fun and good luck
