@@yassandfats well you could get where you're going faster. LOL. I had a 67 Camero super sport,4 on the floor,,350 cubic inch engine, 295 HP. When I was young.
Yes, you can rent high end vehicles, almost anything you want in the US, but of course it's all about cost. Many years ago, we had a meeting in Sunnyvale and were told to rent what we want and 3 out of 4 rented Mustangs.
Yeah, that comment surprised me. It's not like those late '60s Camaros aren't some of the most iconic, beautiful, and sought after muscle cars ever manufactured. And that's coming from a Mustang guy.
I live in America and the thing us car guys love about the American Brand of Muscle Cars is that if we save our money maybe we can get our hands on one for a reasonable price. I don't know anyone who can afford a Ferrari or Bugatti here. Of course I just don't have rich friends. Breaks my heart that Dodge and Chevy keep cutting their models and are concentrating on electric. Ford how ever is still in the game for now, so that will be a big win for them.
Well said. Better than" most people can't afford" makes your statement credible. And you substantiate with you don't have rich friends. I don't believe anyone who throws ststs out without justification. Too much of that on youtube
@@Forced2DoThis1 Hmm! Never heard of vanishing point. I remember Captain Chaos! Movies today are so much trash. Thanks for the reminders and ideas. Hell, I gave up on most modern TV and have been watching Scooby Doo at age 59 because its more intelligent lol
@@BanditsTA A friend of mine was a police officer at the time this movie hit the theaters. His department put patrol cars watching the parking lots for people after they came out of the movie getting a "bit excited!" LOL. Nice screen name!
the first car (Camaro) has 1000 hp. Think 2.0 0 to 60. The corvette ZR-1 has 1067 hp. Called "The Ferrari Killer". $200,000. Great movie, "Ford v. Ferrari". Must watch.
@@Ozarks420 That was the movie. And the GT40 was never called a Ferrari killer it just WAS. The ZR1 will be a Ferrari killer. More a general hyper-car killer. The price has not been released yet, but most people are assuming it will start in the $200-250K range. Based on preliminary numbers will outperform cars that start in the millions.
The engine in the Mustang Super Snake, and GT500 is the same 5.0Lt Coyote that is in the base Mustang GT. The upgraded models have a LOT of other upgrades in breaks, suspension and the tuned superchargers. But you could order a standard GT with a Roush supercharger that was factory warrantied for about $25K (on top of the price of the car). Which would bring the car up to ~750HP and cost about $65K total. Unbelievable value for the power they put out. A friend of mine has one (that he got used for a STEAL because it had it's cats removed and was therefor no longer emissions legal) that runs an 8 second 1/4 on the drag strip. It will put most supercars to shame, but looks like nothing out of the ordinary when it doesn't have it's drag wheels on.
You get the 5 liter V8 GT model of Mustang in the UK, with right hand drive. All of the Shelby & special edition Mustangs are left-hand drive only, so are not sold in the UK.
There is a show with 3 UK gents that go to America and play with the Mustang, Camaro and Challenger. The show is The Grand Tour. Sadly they just aired their final episode after 22 years of great entertainment.
The problem in 2024 isn't American customers. The problem now is CEO of Ford, GM, and Chrysler losing their minds about EV's and electric utopia and caring nothing of all the ideas, exceptionalism, heritage, history of what built these names.
My buddy had a Trans Am in the 80s and smashed it into a snowbank and then telephone pole going way too fast in the winter. He was ok but the car was totally demolished.
there’s an updated list with the new demon 170 being added, the new gtd mustang (controversial), camaro zl1 1le (the resurrection), the archangel corvette, code red shelby mustang ect
When my ‘95 Mustang was dying a slow death and taking my wallet with it, I replaced it with a 2007 black on black on black Mustang convertible. Nothing too fancy, just the 3.8 list engine bug it had the Pony package so the fog lights, bullet wheels and upgraded sound system. God I loved that car on sunny days, and without the weight of the roof it could really move, and it handled corners like it was on rails, even with stock Pirelli tires. My point is if you can get an exotic because of price or availability and you come in June and are not in Arizona or Texas where it gets too hot for it, consider a convertible, preferably a Mustang or Camaro SS convertible. You won’t regret it as both have more than enough engine and even driving slowly they make you feel cool.
What’s interesting is that the muscle cars that survived to today like the Mustang, Trans Am, Camaro, Challenger (except for the Charger) were all considered Pony Cars when they were first developed. They were designed to be smaller and lighter than muscle cars. Pony cars were designed to race on a road track where as muscle cars were heavier and had larger engines and weren’t meant to race on any track that wasn’t a drag strip or oval.
I also owned a 67 Camaro, and a 69 and a 70. You two need to come to America and go to the a drag strip and watch them race funny cars with over 11,000 horsepower.
A new Mustang GT is about 480 horsepower and costs about $50,00 USD. A new BMW M4 is about 90,000 USD and is about 500 hp, more on some special editions In the USA
@@raymo6795 add an extra $10k and get a Roush supercharger put on. 810hp, for $30k less than the M4. Even if you went all out on options, and got a GT Premium California Special, with the Roush supercharger, performance pack etc etc, itd still be about $15-20k less.
@@buzzbomb67 I like a stock Mustang GT, and I believe it is a great performance value. The BMWis likely a more refined automobile, but can’t match Mustang’s performance/ dollar. “ Roush” is one of many tuners. I have been a BMW guy for a long time (I own a low mileage 97 M3, my daily driver is a 22 Audi S4), but the current generation Mustang is the first American car I would consider buying.
@@raymo6795 I agree, the stock Mustang is a great car, esp now that the power is pushing 500hp. And at 480, Id do the same. Buy it and leave it as is. Im just saying you don’t have to go the WHOLE Roush treatment. When I got my new 435 hp Mustang GT Premium in 2015, it was SO GOOD! I just felt like it needed just a smidge more power… like maybe 475, and it wouldve been perfect. That car died in a house fire, in Jan 2017, so with the insurance money I got another new Mustang, this time with the Roush supercharger. Just the ‘charger, and Roush axle-back exhaust, on an otherwise dead stock Mustang GT Premium California Special. Grand total, incl taxes and shipping, a 670hp Mustang for $62k. And I am SO GLAD I did it! Id have gotten a GT350, with 526hp, but dealers had prices jacked up over $80k. Plus I like a little more comfort and driver amenities. No thanks. A full on Roush Mustang is probably a bit more expensive than the BMW, and the wait time is often well over a year, as things stand. But for around $10k, or so, on top of the cost of a used or new Mustang GT, you can buy (and have the dealer install) 330ish hp!
…definitely my favorite American muscle car. The sky is the limit. You can get as much power as you want, with huge aftermarket support….But I think I could be satisfied with the 480 hp and the understated look of a new GT. I think BMW has lost its way. Too big. Too heavy. Too complicated. Too expensive , and you ca match the sound of an American V8🇺🇸✌️
@@raymo6795 Exactly why I am keeping my 2014 Mustang GT mostly stock. Once you start adding superchargers, tunes and other performance parts, it becomes less and less fun to drive on local streets. You can't open it up anywhere without putting people in danger and your gas mileage drops near single digits. My car has 420 HP but I still get almost 20 miles per gallon driving to work and shopping, plus I can run regular unleaded instead of premium to save expenses.
Mustangs are so common in America that they're a lot of kids' first car. My first car was a new 1989 Mustang LX 2.3L 4-cyl. Total shit car at the time. Had nothing but problems with the car. Everything from small things like power window/lock switches going bad, to engine and transmission problems. The little 2.3L 4-cyl engine was also massively underpowered. I think it only made like 92 HP. Terrible engine choice for Ford back then. Fortunately for the new 1994 models, they made the base engine a V6. But there's always been a 5.0L V8 available in the base models as well. Now the Shelby's and GT350/500 models have even bigger engines.
I grew up with the old muscle cars, my father used to drag race when he was growing up. He had so many old-school muscle cars, he had 2x 1969 Stingray Corvettes, a 1968 Chevelle SS 396, and a 1955 Chevy Bel-Air. As for me I had a 1967 Shelby GT350, and a 1968 Shelby GT500 but had to sell those in 2008 when the stock market crashed as well as the housing market along with the jobs. Had to sell to pay my bills and help my family with theirs too. The only other modern cars I ever had were a 1993 Camaro V6 and a 2001 Camaro SS LS1 V8. I miss all those cars and hope to get back into rebuilding an old muscle car again when time permits. Great reaction guys! 🇺🇸🍻🫡👍
@@jamesleyda365 Love the Mopar as well, they were a little harder to come by when I was growing up cause as soon as they were listed for sale, someone would buy them immediately, especially the Hemi-cuda 426’s. 🇺🇸🍻👍
I love muscle cars. We put a supercharged LT 2 in a Nissan 300 Z. It had just a little over 500 hp to the rear wheels and felt like a go-kart. He bought a 2024 Toyota Supra GR 6 speed last year and it has the BMW inline twin turbo 6 cylinder engine. He's modified it some with the electric header ports, bigger turbos, and an aggressive tune. It sounds great as well and dynos at 484 to the wheels on pump gas, 504 on e85 fuel.
When a Hellcat takes off beside you, you get the crap scared out of you. The roar is prehistoric in nature. FYI, there are stock Hellcat pickup trucks. 1100 hp right off the dealer floor.
😂. The most overrated, overhyped and under performing of The Big 3. Hellcats getting bussed by NA GMs and Fords and not a single Dodge winning any major non-nhra events.
My brother lives a couple of miles from the autobahn in Germany. There's tractor road that goes from his village over the autobahn. We walked there at around 2 a.m. and stood looking over the highway. He said "just wait". Five minutes later we heard a loud rumble and it was two Camaros racing at 150+ mph. It was surreal. A couple of minutes later Mustang and another Camaro blew past us. These muscle cars are the most desired cars in Germany as are American pickup trucks with turbo diesels. BMWs and Mercedes cars are a dime a dozen there, the opposite of how they're viewed here.
53 now when in high school I drove a 69 Charger R/T 440. Then started mustangs for a couple decades. Last stang was 04 Mach 1. Was a 32v V8 competition orange. Bought new drove 12yrs daily. Sold after beating a 130mph ticket. How many times can you beat that ? So I sold it because I can't control my foot. Keeps going flat to floor. With credit you can rent supercars here. Have fun .
You can rent base models of muscle cars pretty easily. Shaun, the Scottish UA-camr rented a 2023 Mustang convertible when he was touring the west coast a while back. Rental companies aren't gonna have the top end models like the Hellcat/Demon or GT500s, but they'll have regular versions of the Chargers, Challengers, Camaros, and Mustangs. The standard editions are fairly affordable and usually start at around $35K. But when you get into the high performance versions, that's when you're looking at $70K+
We love our V8's here in New Zealand & also Australia, plenty of classic & modern American & Australian muscle cars in this part of the world. Most of them aren't common to see on a regular basis (you'll typically see them at car show events). That being said, there are exceptions such as modern Holden Commodores (Australian) which are a very common sight. Commodore's came in a variety of types such as Sedan, Wagon, or Ute (car front half with pickup truck styled back half), all versions were available with V8's.
My first car was a 1969 Mustang Fastback with a 351c making 425 hp, bought it my senior year(1994) of high school for $900. Guy was going through a divorce, and I got maybe 7 mpg with the way I drove it. And yes I still own it
A friend of mine worked embassy security during a particularly violent time im an unnamed Middle Eastern country. One night a car drove by slowly, always something that made your hair stand up, and he called the tower to have them swing their night vision cameras down the street to confirm what he saw. It was a brand new Shelby Mustang that had just made its debut in the States three weeks earlier! Everyone loves muscle cars
You can rent high end sports cars at specialty rental companies in many large cities. Just have to search for them near your destination. You can probably rent a standard Mustang at a lot of average rental companies though.
🛑 NOTE:: Remember starting around March- June in USA we have rough weather down south and in Texas area. Start your trip in Las Vegas. Get a car and drive interstate 70 to Denver. You will be amazed. Please don't waste your precious time on the east coast area of USA. I drove a truck in every state for 24 years. The sites are western part of US. You can rent convertible mustang out in California and Las Vegas too. I'm in west TEXAS and it's so ugly. Go see Hoover dam, and Ouray Colorado. I will go with you guys if you need tour guy
My first car in 1999 was a mint 1979 Firebird Formula. My dad got a loan to get it and I made the loan payments. No handouts in this family. I think I had the coolest car in high school. There was only one vehicle at school that was cooler than mine and it was a Hummer H1. The kid’s dad owned Carmike Cinemas. I had some of the best times in my life in that car.
The Beasley's were just here in Spring. They are compatriots of yours in the UK with a UA-cam channel. They had no problem renting from what I could tell. Just get an international driver's license. I took one with me as a US citizen to Japan and Italy/Germany. No issues. Hit them up and see what they can pass on to you
If you plan on visiting Vegas there are several places that rent muscle / supercars. There is also a track just south of the city that you can race a supercar on a closed track.
You see more mustangs over there because Ford started making them "right side drive". Lived in England for 4 years. I would DRED owning an American muscle car over there. Mainly due to the narrow roads & ridiculous number of speed cameras. Had my Hellcat in Germany for 4 years also - was a blast!
As an American watching its kinda funny how you dig American muscle cars . I have to say their alot of fun . Your girl knows which 1 to get it's forsure the mustang 100% . Hope you get a chance to have 1
The Ford engine term "coyote" dates back to the 60's. The engine was called "coyote" by Indy car racers. At the time NASCAR racers also used the term "coyote" as a lil sticker that was often used by Ford NASCAR teams. At the time, Chrysler Corp. was running Plymouth Roadrunners in NASCAR. The had licenced "roadrunner" from Warner Brothers who owned the roadrunner cartoons. The Ford NASCAR teams used a lil sticker that had Wiley Coyote grabbing the roadrunner by the neck, which said " beep beep your a** " As you can see the term "coyote" engine (which is actually the code name used for all V8 internally by Ford) has long out lived the Plymouth roadrunner. In a sense"Wiley Coyote" still lives on the automotive world.
Yes, I think the reason for not seeing some of these cars is due to the UK street sizes. These cars need open roads wide corners to perform. Not saying a car enthusiasts might have one but they wouldn’t hardly be able to get it out and drive it on UK streets. That’s why most cars are small in Europe.
Years ago, I was going to DC in my Japanese made car with my SO. On a one way lane road, a corvette was tailgating me. You see, I never take my SO somewhere and it was the first time so I was driving conservatively. Until the road opened up to two lanes, the corvette passed me and my SO then made a comment. Few minutes later, I see all these debris on the road and the corvette on the side of the road, pulled over. As I am passing it, I noticed the tag, its still has the paper tags. The corvette literally fell apart, didn't get into any accident. Thats the quality of American cars.
You can get rental sports cars. It just depends on the rental company and if they have one in stock at the time you're here. Just look for Exotic or Performance car rentals. I know that Enterprise offers them.
You can rent a car in the US as long as you have a valid UK license, your passport, and a credit card. Some places that rent supercars may have some additional requirements but most would probably list those on their websites.
a lot of rental car places offer Chargers and Camaros, but they have the 6 cylinder engines, not the V8s. a few places in Vegas for around $700 or $800 usd for 24 hrs you can rent the Camaro's and Chargers with the supercharged V8s.
I have a Camaro just sold my Mustang. And on renting a muscle car not real bad on price you have to purchase the insurance with it of course. Rented a nice one for my sons on his prom day.
You may be able to rent a muscle car from Turo, where individuals list their cars for rental as opposed to a fleet. Depending on where you guys plan on coming, there may be some exotic rental places like in Las Vegas or Los Angeles, but most American rental fleets will likely only offer base trim variants if any at all of the mustang, challenger or Camaro only featuring Turbo 4 or 6 cylinder variants.
“99.9% are Mustangs” it’s so wild because I’ll see 5 Mustangs, 3 Challengers, 6 Chargers, and 2 Camaros on average just on my first day of my work week 😂
European media outlets have long since scoffed at American muscle saying they can't corner, but that's because they'd put a BMW M3 or a C63 AMG against a gut bomb base model 4 cylinder Mustang or the very lowest spec V8. AKA they often _cheated_ to make overpriced Eurotrash look good. In reality they were just jealous you couldn't get over 200HP in Europe without spending $50,000+ when a Mustang GT was a paltry $24k. You didn't even have to buy the overpriced kitted out Saleens or Shelbys where half the upcharge was seats and stupid body kit. Simply add some upgraded shocks, brakes and tires for $3k and you're corning head to head with that M3 that's twice the price. Drop in a $3k supercharger and you'll curb stomp that M3 all over the track. The beauty of the "muscle" car wasn't just thumpin big obnoxious V8s, but it was about _AFFORDABLE_ performance for the everyday man. Sadly with today's Bidenomics no one can afford shit anymore. And all this is when I'm a 3x Mercedes owner. Luxury is where America sucks.
That's awesome ya'll are coming! June will be proper hot though so bring shorts! :D And yes, renting those should be no problem, but I would check rental agencies for availability. Being British is not the obstacle, most rental companies don't have those cars in their fleets. Mustang GT should be available in some fleets and other muscle cars. They don't have the super high end things typically like Shelby, Demon, or Hellcats.
To be exact, it arrived in dealerships for public consumption in September 1966 as the ‘67 Camaro….someone your dad’s age who loves Camaros. Where they heck this dude got the ‘70s is beyond me if he’s a muscle car lover
Actually guys, you DO see these all the time. I live near the 3rd largest city in a pretty small state (Tennessee). I know of 6 GT500 mustangs off the top of my head. You can’t drive down the road without seeing a mustang GT, it’s impossible. That’s because it’s kind of known as a college girls car. I’m 51, so I’ve been around a day or two. When I started driving in 88’ all of us had either muscle cars or low rider mini trucks. I’m a bit more country so I had a 74’ Camaro Z28. There were convertible 67 firebird, 3 x 1st gen Camaros, maybe ~ 15 5.0 mustangs. ~ 20 3rd gen Camaros and Firebirds. As far as renting them, yes you can rent and drive anything. From small and cheap all the way to Lambos and more. It’s up to where you’re shopping and how much money you want to spend. If you want, you can go to race tracks and “rent” and train in race cars. Things like the Petty racing experience where you can turn laps in a NASCAR at 150 mph. There’s road racing schools where you can do that, I think the Bondurant school is one. There’s also drag racing schools or rally schools. If you want to do any of that, you’re going to need to schedule it in advance. If Mustangs are all you have…I’m sorry! Stay off the roads where they are, no matter what. Mustangs are know for one thing. That’s getting all “Mustangy”. They are really good, good at wrecking! The new Mustangs are better, but still well know for it. The Dodge cars are popular, because they’re cheap. But, they are NOT reliable, and do not last at all. The resell value is worse than the Mustang is too. Ironically, back in the early 70’s, my Grandmother had a Demon lol. Dodge / Plymouth / Chrysler cars always handle middle of the road to bad. Partly because of the suspension, but mostly because of their weight. They are always heavier than the Chevy or Ford competitors. That’s why they had to make more power, which pushed the engine harder, which made them not last as long. The Chevy Camaros are the way to go. People will have a lot to say about that, but it’s true. From handling, to braking, to traction, to power, to potential power, and parts available, the Camaro is the best. The C8 Corvette is in an entirely different league. It is a legit super car, and can out run the prancing pony or the pissed off bull. What I say next is not just because I’m a Chevy guy. It’s true and the Ford and Dodge guys will tell you the same. Dollar for dollar, a Chevy is easier and cheaper to get more power out of. It’s NOT because Chevy makes better engines! It’s because Chevy embraced, and was embraced by, the aftermarket community earlier and in a bigger way. There are WAY more options on hop up parts, more companies make them, and therefore the parts cost less. It was true in the 60’s and it’s still that way today. Back in the 60’s - 90’s, the SBC (Small Block Chevy) or the BBC, no not that, (Big Block Chevy), you could find the parts anywhere no matter what. They were the go to engines if you were building something. Now days it’s the “LS”. That’s an engine line GM (Chevy, GMC, Cadillac) used in almost anything the engine would fit in. From trucks, SUVs to cars. That’s why there’s so many of them and why the parts are cheap and everywhere. My dad used to say, if you ever break down while driving a SBC, just walk down the road, you’ll find the part laying somewhere lol. He’s still pretty much right about that. The LS has been swapped into everything, all types of cars, boats, even airplanes. To give you an example of what one can do with an LS… people will buy one from the junkyard for ~ $1000. They usually want the 5.3 or 6.0 liter engines, but the smallest 4.8 can still do this. So take that engine, swap the cam, put on better heads, new larger injectors, take the pistons out and gap the rings so the incoming new boost won’t break a piston from ring pinch, then buy the cheap Chinese turbos, and finally reprogram the computer and fine tune. This is NO work on the bottom end mind you, it’s stock and worn bearings, rods, pistons,all stock! The 5.3 in stock for is ~ 350hp depending on the variant, the 6.0 is ~ 400hp, the 4.8 is ~ 300. Anyway, they have taken those and got the following results….4.8 ~ 1,300hp, 5.3 ~ 1,500, and the 6.0 ~ 1,650. This is on race fuel mind you. This is pushing them to the edge. But, again all stock and worn bottom end. They all say it would do it reliably with better parts. The stock form can be reliably be pushed to ~1,000hp and then daily driven and weekly raced. I’m not just making it up, these cases are documented and available on UA-cam to see if you want. There’s even events called LS Fest. It’s any and all things LS based or swapped. So you’ll see plenty of GM products, but you’ll see Toyotas, Nissans, Jags, Italian super cars , and yes VWs, old delivery vans, you name it.
Being born in 1960, I was around before the Mustang or Camaro even existed. I was also around before Hot Wheels toy cars existed. Damn, I'm old, but I digress. The original ''muscle car'' was a mid size body with a large, full size body engine installed. The first one that ever existed was a 1962 Pontiac Gran Prix with a Catalina engine under the hood. When the Mustang and Camaro came about, the moniker, "pony car'' (given the fact that the Mustang came out first) was what they fell under. With all the changes that have taken place over the last half century plus, the term ''muscle car'' has taken on new meaning.
American muscle cars aren't known for track performance, but the Camaro ZL1/1LE was a track monster! It was beating the Porsche 911 Turbo S that cost over twice as much around Nurburgring Nordschleife.
This may run the risk of coming across wrong, but keep in mind this is just my personal preference; I myself have always though that American muscle cars are cooler than German cars. Never been a huge fan of Porsche, Mercedes, or - in particular - BMW. Not really anything wrong with them as long as they're properly taken care of (like anything else). I am capable of appreciating Porsche, but Mercedes annoys me and I genuinely dislike BMW. Driven a few Beemers, and I was just as unhappy in those as I was inside of a Camry when I was renting one not too long ago lol
I'm sure someone in the UK ones a few of these. 1st come, 1st served is a world wide deal. There are Mustang Enthusiasts world wide. Some of the 1st purchasers are probability are in the Middle East. Oh. If your driving record and paperwork are in order you can rent just about anything available.
I know this video is a bit old but please take a trip to the U.S. you will see a mustang about every 30 or 40 cars you look at. they are SOOOOO common. I own 3 of them lol. Also check out mustang week in South Carolina. it is absolutely sick!
Here in the u.s. these cars are everywhere besides maybe the gt500 all forms of the cars in this video are easy to obtain on all trim levels available. It shouldn't be hard to get one of any of these for a little down
If you go to racetracks for NASCAR in America a lot of them have driving schools and you can actually rent one of those cars that have been piped up for actual racing and drive on a racetrack
If you can rent one of these, or older, muscle cars rent time at a smaller racetrack (don't know the price) and go as fast as you can drive with no legal worries. I've never done that but it's something to consider.
Putting an American muscle car in England is like putting a shark in a fish tank it can't swim or have a quality life

Yes, you can rent high end vehicles, almost anything you want in the US, but of course it's all about cost.
Many years ago, we had a meeting in Sunnyvale and were told to rent what we want and 3 out of 4 rented Mustangs.
all rental places have "exotics" if u ask nicely :)
Speed, reliability, affordability? Motorcycles. By far.
I got the 2021 Shelby Gt500 it's my favorite car I've own 86k US got it with 807 miles on it it's a dream 2 drive all black.
I have a 2021 as well. I find myself looking for a reason to bring it out of the garage. Such a fun car
American V-8 engines make beautiful noises.
That would be "Beautiful Music".
It's the way the firing order is, it alternates a double beat on opposing banks... it is music.
😢yeah and the death of the v8 is soon approaching. The US focus on EV now.
True!
V8 and Muscle Cars go hand in hand.
V8 engines are part of US American car culture!
@brucey5585 negative. FoMoCo has made public they are pulling back on EVs and also said they'll make V8s longer than anyone.

Correction: the first Camaro was born in 1967, my Stepfather owned one.
True. My friend's mom had one in '69, and my mom had a Mustang which I totalled when I was 15 driving on my learners permit.
Yeah, that comment surprised me. It's not like those late '60s Camaros aren't some of the most iconic, beautiful, and sought after muscle cars ever manufactured. And that's coming from a Mustang guy.
It's funny they literally show a '67 Camaro with a plate that says 1967 while saying 'born in the 70's' lol
These video producers are getting so much information wrong.

Well said. Better than" most people can't afford" makes your statement credible. And you substantiate with you don't have rich friends. I don't believe anyone who throws ststs out without justification. Too much of that on youtube
I just watched Smokey and the Bandit recently. Havent watched it since the 80s. What a classic!
I watch the first two every year along with, Convoy, The Blues Brothers, Cannonball Run, and of course Vanishing Point.
👍
@@Forced2DoThis1 Hmm! Never heard of vanishing point. I remember Captain Chaos! Movies today are so much trash. Thanks for the reminders and ideas. Hell, I gave up on most modern TV and have been watching Scooby Doo at age 59 because its more intelligent lol
@@BanditsTA A friend of mine was a police officer at the time this movie hit the theaters. His department put patrol cars watching the parking lots for people after they came out of the movie getting a "bit excited!" LOL. Nice screen name!
the first car (Camaro) has 1000 hp. Think 2.0 0 to 60. The corvette ZR-1 has 1067 hp. Called "The Ferrari Killer". $200,000. Great movie, "Ford v. Ferrari". Must watch.
The "Ferrari Killer" was not a vette. It was the Ford GT40.
@@Ozarks420 That was the movie. And the GT40 was never called a Ferrari killer it just WAS. The ZR1 will be a Ferrari killer. More a general hyper-car killer. The price has not been released yet, but most people are assuming it will start in the $200-250K range. Based on preliminary numbers will outperform cars that start in the millions.
I live in Detroit which is the US motor capital and I see the Camaro, mustang, corvette, hellcats, and demons on a daily basis
The engine in the Mustang Super Snake, and GT500 is the same 5.0Lt Coyote that is in the base Mustang GT. The upgraded models have a LOT of other upgrades in breaks, suspension and the tuned superchargers. But you could order a standard GT with a Roush supercharger that was factory warrantied for about $25K (on top of the price of the car). Which would bring the car up to ~750HP and cost about $65K total. Unbelievable value for the power they put out. A friend of mine has one (that he got used for a STEAL because it had it's cats removed and was therefor no longer emissions legal) that runs an 8 second 1/4 on the drag strip. It will put most supercars to shame, but looks like nothing out of the ordinary when it doesn't have it's drag wheels on.
Pretty sure you’re seeing the stock 5.0 Mustangs in the UK. Most of these cars are special order 🇺🇸💪.
You get the 5 liter V8 GT model of Mustang in the UK, with right hand drive. All of the Shelby & special edition Mustangs are left-hand drive only, so are not sold in the UK.
It’s kinda weird having a right hand drive Mustang though. 😅
There is a show with 3 UK gents that go to America and play with the Mustang, Camaro and Challenger. The show is The Grand Tour. Sadly they just aired their final episode after 22 years of great entertainment.
The problem in 2024 isn't American customers. The problem now is CEO of Ford, GM, and Chrysler losing their minds about EV's and electric utopia and caring nothing of all the ideas, exceptionalism, heritage, history of what built these names.
My buddy had a Trans Am in the 80s and smashed it into a snowbank and then telephone pole going way too fast in the winter. He was ok but the car was totally demolished.
there’s an updated list with the new demon 170 being added, the new gtd mustang (controversial), camaro zl1 1le (the resurrection), the archangel corvette, code red shelby mustang ect
You should check out the new Chevy Yenco stage 3 camaro it’s awesome at 1500 hp
Oh yeah. Yenko is beastly.
When my ‘95 Mustang was dying a slow death and taking my wallet with it, I replaced it with a 2007 black on black on black Mustang convertible. Nothing too fancy, just the 3.8 list engine bug it had the Pony package so the fog lights, bullet wheels and upgraded sound system. God I loved that car on sunny days, and without the weight of the roof it could really move, and it handled corners like it was on rails, even with stock Pirelli tires. My point is if you can get an exotic because of price or availability and you come in June and are not in Arizona or Texas where it gets too hot for it, consider a convertible, preferably a Mustang or Camaro SS convertible. You won’t regret it as both have more than enough engine and even driving slowly they make you feel cool.
What’s interesting is that the muscle cars that survived to today like the Mustang, Trans Am, Camaro, Challenger (except for the Charger) were all considered Pony Cars when they were first developed. They were designed to be smaller and lighter than muscle cars. Pony cars were designed to race on a road track where as muscle cars were heavier and had larger engines and weren’t meant to race on any track that wasn’t a drag strip or oval.
My husband and I had a pontiac Firebird when we living in LA.
I also owned a 67 Camaro, and a
69 and a 70.
You two need to come to America and go to the a drag strip and watch them race funny cars with over 11,000 horsepower.
A new Mustang GT is about 480 horsepower and costs about $50,00 USD. A new BMW M4 is about 90,000 USD and is about 500 hp, more on some special editions In the USA
@@raymo6795 add an extra $10k and get a Roush supercharger put on. 810hp, for $30k less than the M4. Even if you went all out on options, and got a GT Premium California Special, with the Roush supercharger, performance pack etc etc, itd still be about $15-20k less.
@@buzzbomb67 I like a stock Mustang GT, and I believe it is a great performance value. The BMWis likely a more refined automobile, but can’t match Mustang’s performance/ dollar. “ Roush” is one of many tuners. I have been a BMW guy for a long time (I own a low mileage 97 M3, my daily driver is a 22 Audi S4), but the current generation Mustang is the first American car I would consider buying.
@@raymo6795 I agree, the stock Mustang is a great car, esp now that the power is pushing 500hp. And at 480, Id do the same. Buy it and leave it as is.
Im just saying you don’t have to go the WHOLE Roush treatment. When I got my new 435 hp Mustang GT Premium in 2015, it was SO GOOD! I just felt like it needed just a smidge more power… like maybe 475, and it wouldve been perfect. That car died in a house fire, in Jan 2017, so with the insurance money I got another new Mustang, this time with the Roush supercharger. Just the ‘charger, and Roush axle-back exhaust, on an otherwise dead stock Mustang GT Premium California Special. Grand total, incl taxes and shipping, a 670hp Mustang for $62k. And I am SO GLAD I did it!
Id have gotten a GT350, with 526hp, but dealers had prices jacked up over $80k. Plus I like a little more comfort and driver amenities. No thanks. A full on Roush Mustang is probably a bit more expensive than the BMW, and the wait time is often well over a year, as things stand.
But for around $10k, or so, on top of the cost of a used or new Mustang GT, you can buy (and have the dealer install) 330ish hp!
…definitely my favorite American muscle car. The sky is the limit. You can get as much power as you want, with huge aftermarket support….But I think I could be satisfied with the 480 hp and the understated look of a new GT. I think BMW has lost its way. Too big. Too heavy. Too complicated. Too expensive , and you ca match the sound of an American V8🇺🇸✌️
@@raymo6795 Exactly why I am keeping my 2014 Mustang GT mostly stock. Once you start adding superchargers, tunes and other performance parts, it becomes less and less fun to drive on local streets. You can't open it up anywhere without putting people in danger and your gas mileage drops near single digits. My car has 420 HP but I still get almost 20 miles per gallon driving to work and shopping, plus I can run regular unleaded instead of premium to save expenses.
You can even access a retired NASCAR after a day of training on some tracts.
Mustangs are so common in America that they're a lot of kids' first car. My first car was a new 1989 Mustang LX 2.3L 4-cyl. Total shit car at the time. Had nothing but problems with the car. Everything from small things like power window/lock switches going bad, to engine and transmission problems. The little 2.3L 4-cyl engine was also massively underpowered. I think it only made like 92 HP. Terrible engine choice for Ford back then. Fortunately for the new 1994 models, they made the base engine a V6. But there's always been a 5.0L V8 available in the base models as well. Now the Shelby's and GT350/500 models have even bigger engines.
A Mustang without a V8 is not a "Mustang"!
Even today…
No matter how good the 4 and 6 cylinder engines perform.
I grew up with the old muscle cars, my father used to drag race when he was growing up. He had so many old-school muscle cars, he had 2x 1969 Stingray Corvettes, a 1968 Chevelle SS 396, and a 1955 Chevy Bel-Air.
As for me I had a 1967 Shelby GT350, and a 1968 Shelby GT500 but had to sell those in 2008 when the stock market crashed as well as the housing market along with the jobs. Had to sell to pay my bills and help my family with theirs too.
The only other modern cars I ever had were a 1993 Camaro V6 and a 2001 Camaro SS LS1 V8. I miss all those cars and hope to get back into rebuilding an old muscle car again when time permits.
Great reaction guys! 🇺🇸🍻🫡👍
Same here! Except with Mopar muscle..... both awesome old school America muscle 🇺🇸🤘 love classic American cars, especially drag cars
@@jamesleyda365 Love the Mopar as well, they were a little harder to come by when I was growing up cause as soon as they were listed for sale, someone would buy them immediately, especially the Hemi-cuda 426’s. 🇺🇸🍻👍
Mabyinstead of renting some subscribers could show you their cars an possibly let you drive it. Cool channel, love yalls videos. PEA 15:43 CE!!!!!!
I love muscle cars. We put a supercharged LT 2 in a Nissan 300 Z. It had just a little over 500 hp to the rear wheels and felt like a go-kart. He bought a 2024 Toyota Supra GR 6 speed last year and it has the BMW inline twin turbo 6 cylinder engine. He's modified it some with the electric header ports, bigger turbos, and an aggressive tune. It sounds great as well and dynos at 484 to the wheels on pump gas, 504 on e85 fuel.
Check out Fords 720HP pick up truck, the 2025 F150 "Raptor R" .. Both a major off road and race vehicle in one .
Or it's rival the Dodge TRex ..
Zero to 60 MPH in 3.6 sec !
When a Hellcat takes off beside you, you get the crap scared out of you. The roar is prehistoric in nature.
FYI, there are stock Hellcat pickup trucks. 1100 hp right off the dealer floor.
😂. The most overrated, overhyped and under performing of The Big 3. Hellcats getting bussed by NA GMs and Fords and not a single Dodge winning any major non-nhra events.
My brother lives a couple of miles from the autobahn in Germany. There's tractor road that goes from his village over the autobahn. We walked there at around 2 a.m. and stood looking over the highway. He said "just wait". Five minutes later we heard a loud rumble and it was two Camaros racing at 150+ mph. It was surreal. A couple of minutes later Mustang and another Camaro blew past us. These muscle cars are the most desired cars in Germany as are American pickup trucks with turbo diesels. BMWs and Mercedes cars are a dime a dozen there, the opposite of how they're viewed here.
Come to Bowling Green, Kentucky, we make the Corvette here and there is a track you can race cars on the track with some training.
Dude, Get Urself a HellCat Or a Mustang!!! U Can Rent ANYTHING!!! THIS IS AMERICA!!!! 😅😅😅
Great Pod Y'all... God Bless, Keep Up the Great Work!!!
I'm glad you kids are educating yourselves.
53 now when in high school I drove a 69 Charger R/T 440. Then started mustangs for a couple decades. Last stang was 04 Mach 1. Was a 32v V8 competition orange. Bought new drove 12yrs daily. Sold after beating a 130mph ticket. How many times can you beat that ?
So I sold it because I can't control my foot. Keeps going flat to floor. With credit you can rent supercars here. Have fun .
You can rent base models of muscle cars pretty easily. Shaun, the Scottish UA-camr rented a 2023 Mustang convertible when he was touring the west coast a while back. Rental companies aren't gonna have the top end models like the Hellcat/Demon or GT500s, but they'll have regular versions of the Chargers, Challengers, Camaros, and Mustangs. The standard editions are fairly affordable and usually start at around $35K. But when you get into the high performance versions, that's when you're looking at $70K+
We love our V8's here in New Zealand & also Australia, plenty of classic & modern American & Australian muscle cars in this part of the world. Most of them aren't common to see on a regular basis (you'll typically see them at car show events). That being said, there are exceptions such as modern Holden Commodores (Australian) which are a very common sight. Commodore's came in a variety of types such as Sedan, Wagon, or Ute (car front half with pickup truck styled back half), all versions were available with V8's.
I live in a upper north central state just south of Canada and I see Mustang's all the time. Even in winter
'66 thru 69 Camaro SS is a beast and is one of my dream cars, as well as the Chevelle SS is a monster also. Not to mention the judge.
12:07 First Camaro actually came out in Sept 1966 for the 1967 model year. Plus they pronounce chasis wrong earlier, it's (CHASS-ee)
My first car was a 1969 Mustang Fastback with a 351c making 425 hp, bought it my senior year(1994) of high school for $900. Guy was going through a divorce, and I got maybe 7 mpg with the way I drove it. And yes I still own it
A friend of mine worked embassy security during a particularly violent time im an unnamed Middle Eastern country. One night a car drove by slowly, always something that made your hair stand up, and he called the tower to have them swing their night vision cameras down the street to confirm what he saw. It was a brand new Shelby Mustang that had just made its debut in the States three weeks earlier! Everyone loves muscle cars
You can rent high end sports cars at specialty rental companies in many large cities. Just have to search for them near your destination. You can probably rent a standard Mustang at a lot of average rental companies though.
Nascar & chevy took a special edition Camaro to the 24 hour Le Mans and it was everyone's favorite. It was so loud you could hear it from far away.
🛑 NOTE:: Remember starting around March- June in USA we have rough weather down south and in Texas area. Start your trip in Las Vegas. Get a car and drive interstate 70 to Denver. You will be amazed. Please don't waste your precious time on the east coast area of USA. I drove a truck in every state for 24 years. The sites are western part of US. You can rent convertible mustang out in California and Las Vegas too. I'm in west TEXAS and it's so ugly. Go see Hoover dam, and Ouray Colorado. I will go with you guys if you need tour guy
My first car in 1999 was a mint 1979 Firebird Formula. My dad got a loan to get it and I made the loan payments. No handouts in this family. I think I had the coolest car in high school. There was only one vehicle at school that was cooler than mine and it was a Hummer H1. The kid’s dad owned Carmike Cinemas. I had some of the best times in my life in that car.
The Beasley's were just here in Spring. They are compatriots of yours in the UK with a UA-cam channel. They had no problem renting from what I could tell. Just get an international driver's license. I took one with me as a US citizen to Japan and Italy/Germany. No issues. Hit them up and see what they can pass on to you
Man these cars are fire. I've been wanting a Zl1 1LE for years now
If you plan on visiting Vegas there are several places that rent muscle / supercars. There is also a track just south of the city that you can race a supercar on a closed track.
You see more mustangs over there because Ford started making them "right side drive". Lived in England for 4 years. I would DRED owning an American muscle car over there. Mainly due to the narrow roads & ridiculous number of speed cameras. Had my Hellcat in Germany for 4 years also - was a blast!
I was over in Scotland years ago and saw a guy driving a Ford Cobra.
There are also a few tracks in vegas where you can pay to drive exotic cars on the track for a few laps.
As an American watching its kinda funny how you dig American muscle cars . I have to say their alot of fun . Your girl knows which 1 to get it's forsure the mustang 100% . Hope you get a chance to have 1
Where I live in the U.S.,a rental car company sold some Corvettes and Mustangs for $30-40,000
I have a 2019 Shelby GT350. It is a lot of fun to drive.
"Must be hard to drive something like that, slow"...😂😂😂Absolutely!!!
The Ford engine term "coyote" dates back to the 60's. The engine was called "coyote" by Indy car racers. At the time NASCAR racers also used the term "coyote" as a lil sticker that was often used by Ford NASCAR teams. At the time, Chrysler Corp. was running Plymouth Roadrunners in NASCAR. The had licenced "roadrunner" from Warner Brothers who owned the roadrunner cartoons. The Ford NASCAR teams used a lil sticker that had Wiley Coyote grabbing the roadrunner by the neck, which said " beep beep your a** " As you can see the term "coyote" engine (which is actually the code name used for all V8 internally by Ford) has long out lived the Plymouth roadrunner. In a sense"Wiley Coyote" still lives on the automotive world.
Yes, I think the reason for not seeing some of these cars is due to the UK street sizes. These cars need open roads wide corners to perform. Not saying a car enthusiasts might have one but they wouldn’t hardly be able to get it out and drive it on UK streets. That’s why most cars are small in Europe.
I believe that the Camaro also doesn't meet the pedestrian requirements.
Years ago, I was going to DC in my Japanese made car with my SO. On a one way lane road, a corvette was tailgating me. You see, I never take my SO somewhere and it was the first time so I was driving conservatively. Until the road opened up to two lanes, the corvette passed me and my SO then made a comment. Few minutes later, I see all these debris on the road and the corvette on the side of the road, pulled over. As I am passing it, I noticed the tag, its still has the paper tags. The corvette literally fell apart, didn't get into any accident. Thats the quality of American cars.
You can get rental sports cars. It just depends on the rental company and if they have one in stock at the time you're here. Just look for Exotic or Performance car rentals. I know that Enterprise offers them.
You can rent a car in the US as long as you have a valid UK license, your passport, and a credit card. Some places that rent supercars may have some additional requirements but most would probably list those on their websites.
a lot of rental car places offer Chargers and Camaros, but they have the 6 cylinder engines, not the V8s. a few places in Vegas for around $700 or $800 usd for 24 hrs you can rent the Camaro's and Chargers with the supercharged V8s.
I have a Camaro just sold my Mustang. And on renting a muscle car not real bad on price you have to purchase the insurance with it of course. Rented a nice one for my sons on his
prom day.
I got a 2010 Challenger SRT8, it's fun.
You may be able to rent a muscle car from Turo, where individuals list their cars for rental as opposed to a fleet. Depending on where you guys plan on coming, there may be some exotic rental places like in Las Vegas or Los Angeles, but most American rental fleets will likely only offer base trim variants if any at all of the mustang, challenger or Camaro only featuring Turbo 4 or 6 cylinder variants.
“99.9% are Mustangs” it’s so wild because I’ll see 5 Mustangs, 3 Challengers, 6 Chargers, and 2 Camaros on average just on my first day of my work week 😂
European media outlets have long since scoffed at American muscle saying they can't corner, but that's because they'd put a BMW M3 or a C63 AMG against a gut bomb base model 4 cylinder Mustang or the very lowest spec V8. AKA they often _cheated_ to make overpriced Eurotrash look good. In reality they were just jealous you couldn't get over 200HP in Europe without spending $50,000+ when a Mustang GT was a paltry $24k. You didn't even have to buy the overpriced kitted out Saleens or Shelbys where half the upcharge was seats and stupid body kit. Simply add some upgraded shocks, brakes and tires for $3k and you're corning head to head with that M3 that's twice the price. Drop in a $3k supercharger and you'll curb stomp that M3 all over the track.
The beauty of the "muscle" car wasn't just thumpin big obnoxious V8s, but it was about _AFFORDABLE_ performance for the everyday man. Sadly with today's Bidenomics no one can afford shit anymore.
And all this is when I'm a 3x Mercedes owner. Luxury is where America sucks.
That's awesome ya'll are coming! June will be proper hot though so bring shorts! :D And yes, renting those should be no problem, but I would check rental agencies for availability. Being British is not the obstacle, most rental companies don't have those cars in their fleets. Mustang GT should be available in some fleets and other muscle cars. They don't have the super high end things typically like Shelby, Demon, or Hellcats.
To be exact, it arrived in dealerships for public consumption in September 1966 as the ‘67 Camaro….someone your dad’s age who loves Camaros. Where they heck this dude got the ‘70s is beyond me if he’s a muscle car lover
Actually guys, you DO see these all the time. I live near the 3rd largest city in a pretty small state (Tennessee). I know of 6 GT500 mustangs off the top of my head. You can’t drive down the road without seeing a mustang GT, it’s impossible. That’s because it’s kind of known as a college girls car.
I’m 51, so I’ve been around a day or two. When I started driving in 88’ all of us had either muscle cars or low rider mini trucks. I’m a bit more country so I had a 74’ Camaro Z28. There were convertible 67 firebird, 3 x 1st gen Camaros, maybe ~ 15 5.0 mustangs. ~ 20 3rd gen Camaros and Firebirds.
As far as renting them, yes you can rent and drive anything. From small and cheap all the way to Lambos and more. It’s up to where you’re shopping and how much money you want to spend. If you want, you can go to race tracks and “rent” and train in race cars. Things like the Petty racing experience where you can turn laps in a NASCAR at 150 mph. There’s road racing schools where you can do that, I think the Bondurant school is one. There’s also drag racing schools or rally schools. If you want to do any of that, you’re going to need to schedule it in advance.
If Mustangs are all you have…I’m sorry! Stay off the roads where they are, no matter what. Mustangs are know for one thing. That’s getting all “Mustangy”. They are really good, good at wrecking! The new Mustangs are better, but still well know for it.
The Dodge cars are popular, because they’re cheap. But, they are NOT reliable, and do not last at all. The resell value is worse than the Mustang is too. Ironically, back in the early 70’s, my Grandmother had a Demon lol. Dodge / Plymouth / Chrysler cars always handle middle of the road to bad. Partly because of the suspension, but mostly because of their weight. They are always heavier than the Chevy or Ford competitors. That’s why they had to make more power, which pushed the engine harder, which made them not last as long.
The Chevy Camaros are the way to go. People will have a lot to say about that, but it’s true. From handling, to braking, to traction, to power, to potential power, and parts available, the Camaro is the best.
The C8 Corvette is in an entirely different league. It is a legit super car, and can out run the prancing pony or the pissed off bull.
What I say next is not just because I’m a Chevy guy. It’s true and the Ford and Dodge guys will tell you the same. Dollar for dollar, a Chevy is easier and cheaper to get more power out of. It’s NOT because Chevy makes better engines! It’s because Chevy embraced, and was embraced by, the aftermarket community earlier and in a bigger way. There are WAY more options on hop up parts, more companies make them, and therefore the parts cost less. It was true in the 60’s and it’s still that way today. Back in the 60’s - 90’s, the SBC (Small Block Chevy) or the BBC, no not that, (Big Block Chevy), you could find the parts anywhere no matter what. They were the go to engines if you were building something. Now days it’s the “LS”. That’s an engine line GM (Chevy, GMC, Cadillac) used in almost anything the engine would fit in. From trucks, SUVs to cars. That’s why there’s so many of them and why the parts are cheap and everywhere. My dad used to say, if you ever break down while driving a SBC, just walk down the road, you’ll find the part laying somewhere lol. He’s still pretty much right about that. The LS has been swapped into everything, all types of cars, boats, even airplanes. To give you an example of what one can do with an LS… people will buy one from the junkyard for ~ $1000. They usually want the 5.3 or 6.0 liter engines, but the smallest 4.8 can still do this. So take that engine, swap the cam, put on better heads, new larger injectors, take the pistons out and gap the rings so the incoming new boost won’t break a piston from ring pinch, then buy the cheap Chinese turbos, and finally reprogram the computer and fine tune. This is NO work on the bottom end mind you, it’s stock and worn bearings, rods, pistons,all stock! The 5.3 in stock for is ~ 350hp depending on the variant, the 6.0 is ~ 400hp, the 4.8 is ~ 300. Anyway, they have taken those and got the following results….4.8 ~ 1,300hp, 5.3 ~ 1,500, and the 6.0 ~ 1,650. This is on race fuel mind you. This is pushing them to the edge. But, again all stock and worn bottom end. They all say it would do it reliably with better parts. The stock form can be reliably be pushed to ~1,000hp and then daily driven and weekly raced. I’m not just making it up, these cases are documented and available on UA-cam to see if you want. There’s even events called LS Fest. It’s any and all things LS based or swapped. So you’ll see plenty of GM products, but you’ll see Toyotas, Nissans, Jags, Italian super cars , and yes VWs, old delivery vans, you name it.
An irish guy rented a mustang while touring the US. As long as you have a credit card and an international license you will be fine.
Some of the airports in America Hertz car rental have special addition Shelby mustangs advertised as rent a racer
My neighbour has Dodge Charger ‘69 and Porsche GT3 ‘19 best of both worlds no degree🇿🇦
2024 Yenko Chevy camero. A beast.
Being born in 1960, I was around before the Mustang or Camaro even existed. I was also around before Hot Wheels toy cars existed. Damn, I'm old, but I digress. The original ''muscle car'' was a mid size body with a large, full size body engine installed. The first one that ever existed was a 1962 Pontiac Gran Prix with a Catalina engine under the hood. When the Mustang and Camaro came about, the moniker, "pony car'' (given the fact that the Mustang came out first) was what they fell under. With all the changes that have taken place over the last half century plus, the term ''muscle car'' has taken on new meaning.
Hertz rental cars has GT350 Mustangs. Depends on where your going also. Some places have supercar rentals. Im sure a Hellcat and GT 500 are available
American muscle cars aren't known for track performance, but the Camaro ZL1/1LE was a track monster! It was beating the Porsche 911 Turbo S that cost over twice as much around Nurburgring Nordschleife.
Love that both of u are car peeps! 🚗🚙
You 2 are probably referring to the 5.0 Mustang you are seeing around home. Still an amazing car!
In germany you can find almost all of them ;) i´m driving a yellow mustang cabrio and i like it more then a m3
"Pleasurizing." I've never heard that word but I love it! Gonna use it. 😁
So in the US you guys out of the dealership
V6 Eco Boost
Mustang GT ( V8)
GT 350
GT 500
And now brand new Darkhorse (V8) new generation
This may run the risk of coming across wrong, but keep in mind this is just my personal preference;
I myself have always though that American muscle cars are cooler than German cars. Never been a huge fan of Porsche, Mercedes, or - in particular - BMW. Not really anything wrong with them as long as they're properly taken care of (like anything else). I am capable of appreciating Porsche, but Mercedes annoys me and I genuinely dislike BMW. Driven a few Beemers, and I was just as unhappy in those as I was inside of a Camry when I was renting one not too long ago lol
I'm sure someone in the UK ones a few of these. 1st come, 1st served is a world wide deal. There are Mustang Enthusiasts world wide. Some of the 1st purchasers are probability are in the Middle East.
Oh. If your driving record and paperwork are in order you can rent just about anything available.
hey! awesome! we have autotrader in the US as well
I know this video is a bit old but please take a trip to the U.S. you will see a mustang about every 30 or 40 cars you look at. they are SOOOOO common. I own 3 of them lol. Also check out mustang week in South Carolina. it is absolutely sick!
Great reaction. Love from Cali
Rental companies literally say sign here and give you keys. You guys are good 🤣🤣🤣
Just get the insurance and y’all are good lol
In Las Vegas, Nevada you can go drive these cars on a track.
Here in the u.s. these cars are everywhere besides maybe the gt500 all forms of the cars in this video are easy to obtain on all trim levels available. It shouldn't be hard to get one of any of these for a little down
If you go to racetracks for NASCAR in America a lot of them have driving schools and you can actually rent one of those cars that have been piped up for actual racing and drive on a racetrack
Yes you xoukd reserve the car you want but check around for pricing with other companies just to make sure they have the one you arw looking for too.
The standard Mustang is a 5.0 liter V8, just about the same engine that goes in a F-150 truck.
You must stop in Arizona. Plenty of rentals in Scottsdale Arizona.
In Boston go to Gotham dream cars they don't have slot of American muscle but they do have the corvette
If you can rent one of these, or older, muscle cars rent time at a smaller racetrack (don't know the price) and go as fast as you can drive with no legal worries. I've never done that but it's something to consider.
The fact they didn't mention the cadillac CT5 Blackwing is a insult.
Mustang V8's are either 5.0, 5.0 GT or special models like the new Dark Horse or GT 350 or 500.
