I love my 2018 Mustang GT. Not a day goes by that I’m not excited to get up and drive. It really makes people smile. It’s my 4th one and yes it’s the best yet. Always prayin for sunshine!!
Man, what a dream! im 17 years old ive always wanted a mustang ever since I saw the brand new 4 eye mustang GT in 2013. Im still wishing that I could get this exact year model, the 2018 GT, I just love the aggressive frown of the headlights, it just makes to look so menacing. Great car man!
dayum! love that second gear chirp

Standard gear for the mt82 is 3.31
Stock 5.0 will chirp into 3rd with ease :)
Had a 2018 Mustang GT for a weekend. Fun car -- handles great, sounds fantastic, it's everlovingly LOUD. 460 hp. On a full tank of regular unleaded, I was able to travel 400 kilometres (248 miles) before refueling. I was driving it pretty hard in track mode, but yeah, if fuel economy is important to you, get a Focus or a Corolla. The 2018 Mustang offers better bang for the buck than the 2018 Challenger R/T (385 hp), and they both cost about the same. Two thumbs up for the '18 Mustang.
It is because it can go from a stop to 60 in less than 4 seconds. That’s entry-level supercar and/or sports car territory... for like only $40k
Asphalt8ficionado **50k +
Only the auto can do less than 4.0
C W Are You thinking of the Camaro refresh? 😂
Roman looks good in high heels.
This car seems to have the perfect combination of muscle and tech. None of the dealerships near me have any yet. I want to buy one.
I had no idea the new 5.0 had 460 hp.. I think my brothers 13’ 5.0 had 420 hp? That’s awesome
Great, they're finally giving this baby some power.
the mazda pulled him at 1:42. :) that second gear chirp souds sweet.
Los Angeles is the car capital of the world. With that much Traffic I'm going with the 10-speed
Why is bill Clinton working for ford now?
fortis619 off topic lol
Papa Bacardi 😂😂😂😂
To appeal to black buyers.
Papa Bacardi they needed more HR nightmares
Papa Bacardi, haha, same thing I was gonna say!!
Damn you daycare and mortgage, damn you!
Randy Holland You'll get there bud. Be patient.
Should of thought of that before you went there!
Them gt models in red are amazing
tears actually drip down from my eyes when i saw the Price of my dream car XD
Man.. first they show those heels and then you hear Roman's voice. Talk about disappointment. LOL!
EJ Fig */underrated/* */comment/*
Man I love that sound !!!!
He keeps saying 5 more HP than the Camaro, but the Camaro is still up 35 lbs-ft of torque. Personally I'd rather +35 torque over +5 HP. But that 10 speed auto is going to be beastly.
Facts
Horsepower sells cars, torque wins races
On 1.2 less litres...
Greg Miller Which means nothing. The Coyote is DOHC and is designed to be a peakier, higher RPM engine, and it is physically larger and no more efficient than the GM's LT1. HP/L is a 100% useless metric because horsepower is a function of torque and time. That is why we also must consider RPM. In the case of the Mustang, it's 7,000RPM peak and 7,500RPM redline, much higher than the LT1.
Yeah it has a lot more torque but 0-60 times they both are dead even. Can’t go wrong with neither.
still warming up to that front end... good video!
The base GT starts at $35,095,Premium is $39,095
That honey comb grill configuration is exactly like my 2014 fiesta ST
Love the front corner lights of this 2018 mustang.
I love how you all at TFLC have mastered the art of incorporating porno into your video intros.
All the new and extremely exciting new changes on this car are all things That Chevrolet owners have been enjoying for years. It's exciting and im thankful Ford has finally stepped it up but really all i can say is "It's about time".
Now, does this car have launch control, No lift shift, automatic hill start assist and the ability to lower the windows via the key fob? All things the Camaro has
The new Engine Cover for the 5.0 is horrible...
David Covey I agree
Agree too had a 15 more plastic doesn't help
Yeah, looks so flat but hey we can always take it off.
Yeah, taking it off will obviously be the fix! I can't help but wonder why they changed it from the previous one? It looked so nice before!
David Covey it is I️ would take it off right away. I️ would buy a 2018 and put on the 15-17’s front and rear bumper, hood, and lights. I️ would only buy it for the features
Why is everyone hating on the front end?? It's lower and I think it looks great.
It was unnecessary. Previous headlights were better looking.
fndubs something with the headlights makes it look sad
I like it, it looks infuriated because it wants to run these thots over.
fndubs because the previous model was banging
fndubs cause they can
The best part of the 18 update is that EPIC noise.
10 speed auto, surely that's too many.
Way too many speeds, constantly down shifting when braking, unless you like a bad manual shifter driver! 6 Speed auto is all you need, have all of the racing modes and paddle shifters without the damn manual clutch.
You don't know anything about it
Those red leather recaros look amazing
American Muscle! Love that channel
just graduated fresh off campus, uhh.
E D I T: oops wrong video, nice mustang :)
Duck Fayce goddamnit jeffrey
In the U.S. these days, good luck finding a job that pays anything, much less one to afford a new car! Good luck though!
The front end look great It’s really good
That exhaust is bitchin! I recently drove the 6 speed GT. That gearshift was quick and precise.
I love my 2018 Performance package Mustang.
Love the TFLC, keep it up!
I want one so bad but honestly the 10 speed auto is way more attractive the steering shifter is really nice on the new ones and that dash and seats and variable exhaust sooo nice
Finally, a Ford employee who knows what he's talking about.
It’s not as different looking as I first thought. For some reason I thought it was going to be more Shelby looking. I still love it.
the only thing that bothers me of this new mustang is the 5.0's engine cover 😂 it looks weird the older one was way better.
it has to have sound deadening in it to quiet down the loud direct injection lifter noise. All direct injection cars need this.
Interesting. This is true? I've never heard that before. I thought it was just for looks.
Greb Nitty yup it's true. Take a look at any of the ecoboost engines. They have the same thing. They are direct injection as well.
I've grown to like the new front bumper. Not more than the outgoing one, but equally.
It would be nice to know at what rpm it makes 460 hp.
That sound 😍😍😍🤤🤤🤤🤤
I love the new 2018 Ford Mustang, but what I think would be even cooler if Ford would take the Mustang logo and put it on the hood similar to an AMG Mercedes-Benz. I think it would give it an even more unique look and make the grill look a lot cleaner!
Nice review.
Cool car wish we had more exhaust clips
I remember when Clarckson mocked Americans in his CTS-V review like 10+ years ago. Today, the best selling sports car ...IN THE WORLD just got better.
I like some of the new options like the magnetic ride and exhaust but I'll stick with my 15 thanks. Good review!
I hope Ford is listening to what I say because this Mustang with the Active exhaust sounds exactly like Frank Bullitt's Mustang. So hey Ford how about a 2019 Bullitt? I am yet to see the 2018 in person but man does it look good with the PP2 performance package, so far my favorite. I think should get rid of the PP1 package wheels for good and keep the PP2 wheels more affordable by using the tire set up of the PP1 while offering the aggressive tire and other upgrades set up in the PP2
Good review Roman! I would like to see the Mustang GT get a HUD.
Gotta admit, I hated the new front end when I first saw it leaked. After seeing it in person it has grown on me though. Still don't like the glossy grill however.
I'm just messin I loveTFL
what I want to know, and I know this is odd, is the mustangs new 10 speed fast enough to make it as fun as a typical DCT?
0:02 Hey Roman, nice stilettos!
+mountainhobo Roman says Thanks
Sounds awesome.
Much improved!!
The active exhaust is a $1000 option. It's not on every GT. I think some people would benefit from information like this.
I agree. I just updated for a 05 v6 to 2018 v8 alot more to look at and get used too. I thought I had alot more options but not as many as I thought....
It will pull more horse power than the Turbo but won't take off quicker. V8s are a thing of the pass.
From certain angles I think the front end isn’t bad but from most I feel it looks too scrunched. Plus gloss black on the top half of the grille and matte on the bottom? Cmon... I do like the higher redline though.
Definitely a step up but I'd still prefer an LT1 with all that torque under the hood. The Coyote has never been good in that aspect.
Are people really complaining about the engine cover 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Cars are getting so technologically advanced that car guys cant even explain what is going on anymore.. its for tech guys now
American performance cars are definitely not given up on manual s, it’s actually the opposite of the rest of the world!
Amazing From differences levels.
Is this the most scared public crowds should be? I am scared for my life with the mustang on the streets for fear of noob drivers plowing me over.
I would never pay $50,000 for a resale value falling Mustang . give me a Corvette anyday over this
Corvette values drop like a rock, and at the moment GM can't give those cars away
Escape for Mankind is Keith Johnson yeah well a Corvette will embarrass that turd. no matter how much power it makes.ford pricing themselves right out of the market
People want Quality, Sophistication, and Performance, and those things don't come cheap
Car is never a good investment. If u worry about how long it’s worth after 5 years then don’t buy a car.
Then buy a used one
I really admire the current gen Camaro and Mustang, as my 1st car was a Firebird. But I would have a really hard time paying $50k for either at my age. I would rather get an M240i as my dd.
Chevy has had magnetic ride for 10 years already. Bout time for caught up.
Ford waited for MagneRide to become more Advanced
Gen 6 will be a ducking destroyer when it comes out
You have to pay extra 2k to upgrade interior equipment in order to purchase the magnetic damping system.
I’m ok with paying $3,995 for the performance package and $1,695 for the magnetic ride damping system. I am not ok with paying an extra 2k for interior, especially when I don’t care for interior at all.
In march of 2012, I purchased my brand new 2012 mustang gt (auto) for $25,500 (most basic model available). MSRP was $29,999 but I was able to bring price down because it was the last 2012 on the lot. Guess I won’t be getting anywhere close to that but we should be able to get the GT for 3-4 off MSRP. Shouldn’t be a problem.
Anybody know if there is away of getting magnetic damping without upgrade interior?
Hey FAST LANE CAR, that's 448 hp on CA 91 or any other state with 91 or less.
Yes
I’m a chevy guy but the mustangs exterior now is extremely aggressive. But I still prefer the camaro interior.
Agreed, at first I don't like it but now I think is it aggressive than ever.
I'm a Chevy guy too... but I think the Camaro is ugly all around inside and out. I will buy a Mustang soon. Ford has come a long way from decades ago. GM still makes great cars and trucks, but the Camaro looks like a hot wheels car I hate it. It has no visibility either.
Ok... , So it's growing on me ...! I cant see the engine under that Engine Cover. ? I like the new Dig. Dash gauges look cool..! Nice review of the 2018 it's only 50K ...ohhhhh.... !!!
Wow!!! The new Mustang and Camaro now have the same transmission.
Beautiful
This video is not showing up on your channel??
Being the best Mustang GT ever is like being the most attractive drunk girl at a frat party
I think the front end is more aggressive and classy. I hated all the desighns until this one.
Why pay 50k+ for a maxed out GT when the GT350 starts at 57k. That's like 80 more horsepower.
Thats with all the options, not only that, the performance pack 2 will finally allow the gt to be quicker than a camaro v6 1le around all tracks. On some tracks before the facelift the v6 1le was quicker on a lot of the tracks.
If you really look at the facelifted mustang like I do, its just as quick as the gt350 in a straight line for 7k less. Add the 7k into the mustang and you get a mustang that can do both track and straight lines.
Anthony Weeks
The GT350 is my dream car but is it not worth it when compared to the GT
Dealers add 6-10k to the price of the 350 over msrp, and they will take off about 4k for a gt. Price isnt close at all.
John try another $10k in markups for the gt350
@John The GT350 is most definitely worth the 7k price bump when you factor in the fact the Mustang GT will depreciate like crazy and the GT350 will hold value much better.
"Let's put it in track mode and floor it so you guys get to hear what this thing sounds like. *proceeds to making some weird constipated sound as he builds rpm*
Just kidding. Solid review!
Dec 2017 Sales
3,802 Camaro
7,714 Mustang
2017 Sales total
67,940 Camaro
81,866 Mustang
ehhhh starting to warm up to the new front
mustang is now offering what chevy has been offering for a while now.
It got a 3 out of 5 star safety rating which is 1 star better than the previous death trap. So yes, it is better.
Can't wait for 2019 to buy one off someone that already took the depreciation hit and modded it.
He said, "we're going to build the best mustang we can." But all I heard was "...most expensive mustang."
why are you bitching about the price when your not going to buy one
billy heaton I WAS going to buy one.
So, is the new 2018 body a good 100-200 pounds lighter than the '15-17 body? The changes look pretty subtle to me, but that doesn't necessarily mean they are. By the way, I may drive a Chevy truck, but I do have a 2012 base Stang for my actual daily driver.
It is.
this new mustang sounds way better than the 13
Love it!!
Black wheels... because looking like you lost your hubcaps is so attractive
Nice mountain bike
In my country we didn't get the digital gauges and the sport exhaust
Too bad, I normally prefer analogue gauges but this digital display is fantastic.
Sounds amazing! Almost makes me want to let my Mopar go 😉
I hate that they took out the v6 that was my favorite one
although the last generation sold very good. Ford should make a drastically change on the 18 one. it seems like no one want to trade out their 17 stang for a new 18, they might just waiting for 3 more years or buy a challenger as well. At this point the 18 challenger do beat mustang and camaro. saf
So basically, this damn engine has no limits accept for ground physics? Good God Man!!!
MX5 called, they want their headlights back.
Every time a new mustang comes out it’s the “best mustang ever”. Lol
shouldn't it be that way?
Muscle cars and V8's + manual transmission. There's no other way to do ti!!
10 speed auto way better
Boogey man 10 spd AUTO = Expensive + Boring
Lol suree. I have nothing against DCT. Have fun driving your new Mustang......on Xbox
Yeah you can get a 10 speed try to race him from a Dig and get you're ass stomped it's the same transmission in the Zl1
Rev limited to 155? I think he means speed limited to 155mph. IS there any way to disable this function? I need to go faster than 155 for sure.
I thought horacio pagani was the chief engineer lol
