*revving my blender at loud cars forever*
As a car guy who LOVES the sound of revving V8s, that comment was honestly the craziest thing to hear! But of course, makes total sense.
That's why I loved making this series. You all had fresh perspectives that I never would've thought of!
also why I dislike Harleys in general
@@shaned1926 Almost ANY car is quieter than a Harley (or most motorcycles), and I agree that they are beyond obnoxious.
BUT motorcyclists have a safety claim- "Loud pipes save lives"- That I can sorta see. Drivers in cars just arent good at visually spotting motorcyles, but if they can HEAR them, that helps their awareness.
@@RetroCarsForever I just bought my first v8, an 85 c4 corvette. still sitting at previous owners property.
will put on a borla sport 2 exhaust system.
love British bikes. love living in the countryside, i'm just to old to be loud 😉
@@RetroCarsForever absolutely love V8s in classic speedboats though
"I know that vrooming sound is important to mustang owners "
😂 So true
All joking aside a it did sound good for a 2 valve mustang though I think the earlier 5.0 and later coyote cars sound better
@@cooperhulswit8438 For the record, I've owned both!
A 1994 GT 5.0L and a 2001 Bullitt 4.6L (this one- ua-cam.com/video/JipL5nk5Mio/v-deo.html)
LOVED the sound of both of them, was probably the best part about either car.
So yes, the vrooming was important!
@@RetroCarsForever I saw your bullit review before was there a noticable difference between that and a stock gt?
@@cooperhulswit8438 Absolutely. There was like 100 little things that Ford did with the Bullitt edition that all added up to make it a more polished, refined, and special car.
Just felt more "buttoned down" and the interior was a lot nicer place to look at.
@@RetroCarsForever yeah I know it had 5 more horsepower , different gauges and the suspension from the mach 1 but wasn't sure what else may have been done
owner was chill dude actually wasn't the stereotype but there are mustang stereotypes for a reason
Very true! He's a great sport and seemed totally aware of the Mustang stereotype, but also seems to do his best to be a good example of a Mustang owner (he works for a Ford dealership I think)
@@RetroCarsForever ye he cool
3:23 - Amanda!!! 🤣 “Shall I play you my blender?” OMG I haven’t laughed that hard in a long time.
Come to think of it I wish our blender sounded better...
Time to fit an aftermarket exhaust!
Nice to see such a clean new edge Mustang!
Right?? Was actually pretty hard to find a single guy with a clean, mostly stock Mustang of ANY year.
Let alone a cool 40th Anniversary like this one with the crazy Mach 1000 audio system!
enjoying your work brad, keep it up mate.
Thanks so much!
“I love when you close your eyes and you feel that vibration”
Don’t show her my Yugo
Next to a Yugo- "I love when you close your eyes and you smell that vibration”
@@RetroCarsForever hahaha!
LOL put a sub under the seat and she is yours in any car LOL.
Excellent video. I watched when you posted and and gave it a like, and just sent it to a bunch of friends.
Thanks so much! Appreciate the support.
You really need to do these reactions with different generations of these cars. Women salivate at classic cars more than any others.
Several of them DO comment on the classic Mustang vs the new one here, and I think as far as getting their ATTENTION goes, you're right.
HOWEVER-
Stay tuned for the DeLorean episode in a few weeks. That's the oldest car here, and there ARE downsides to older cars that the women are certainly aware of.
The first thing wrong with trying to attract women with this car; it has the paint scheme a senior citizen would pick. Maroon exterior and tan interior? It screams "I'm collecting social security and just drew from my 401k to buy this".
Yeah they didn't seem super hot on the colors. "Maroon" is apparently seen as an "Old man's color", as is a tan interior.
But that's really FORD's choice more than anyones! That's what they picked for the 40th Ann edition.
@@RetroCarsForever It also came in white and black. I would of picked black. Studies show women prefer men drive black cars or trucks. "Crimson Red" aka Maroon with Tan interior was likely the least attractive option he could of picked considering the interior colors came in every more choices, black with black leather would of likely been a far more popular choice with women.
On a further note; I drive a new edge mustang myself and would never think twice about not buying this car with this color scheme unless the price made it a real deal.
@@joshuaherbert8347 All good points! The owner preferred this color, I think, because it was the color scheme used in all the promo material for it (some of which you can see in this video).
You'll be able to see if black on black works best with THESE women in the future BMW episode, as that's a black on black car. In any case, I was looking for a wide mix of colors for these 10 cars to see if there were any clear preferences either way.
I'm going to be really honest, the best looking mustang in my opinion was the 69 - 73 mach 1's, those will def attract you onlookers
I would love one of those Mach 1s! Lots of great movie associations I get with them, as they appeared in Diamonds Are Forever and of course the original Gone In 60 Seconds.
Personally, 1970 Boss 302 and Boss 427 Mustangs are the best and I have too agree 1969-73 Ford actually new how to style then until the S550 came along and it wasn't a let's make another fiber glass 1960s Mustang. I owned both a S197 and the S550 and by far the S550 was a way better car.
Should have used a 2015+ mustang convertible
That likely would have done a bit better I bet.
Excellent Episode again! I wasn't sure how this was going to go ahead of time. This was exciting for me because I thought it would have rated higher. I have to agree 100% with Amanda even though I love a Mustang! This just wasn't the Mustang. It does seem like a very fun car.
Thanks! I’ve owned two Mustangs from this era so I did wish it would’ve scored a tad higher, but I completely get what the ladies were saying.
Wow man, some real zingers on this one. Plenty of laugh-out-loud comments. And in so many ways, I think the same exact way and with the same impressions whenever I see a Mustang. Some of these ladies need their own YT channel just doing first impressions/reaction videos.
Thanks! And agreed, these ladies are super awesome.
Came here from facebook! Lololol good video
Thanks so much!
People who don’t like engine sounds haven’t tried to like them yet. A person who actually listens can understand how an engine could sound better or worse than another, until they hear good and bad sounds they’ll think it’s just loud and quiet
That's not the case here. The women were given multiple engine sounds to react to, and had varied opinions on each of them.
Here's the BMW episode where they compare the cars V8 sounds-
ua-cam.com/video/AMnUuX9oc7Q/v-deo.html
I recently bought a 1998 Mustang GT with a fully rebuilt 4.6 liter V8 with a cold air intake, 5 speed manual, flowmaster exhaust, horsepower tuner, needs some interior cosmetic work but nothing too bad but it's been a neck breaker ever since I got it. The paint is two-tone dark grey and purple with purple and silver metal flake in both colors, it's clearcoated, has hood pins and a large scoop with a working heat extractor at the back of the hood. The outsides of the hood are grey metal flake and it transitions to purple right at the scoop, has Chrome painted OEM Cobra R wheels. It all shines so good in the sun and certain streetlights. The entire interior of the car is black with leather seats, really comfortable but when women say it's like a family car, their minds would change when you try to put kids in the back seats. Hardly any leg space in the SN95 and new edge Mustangs. Everybody thinks I spend over 10k on the car but I paid $3,800 for it and it's been doing great so far. They're great cars if you take great care of them and maintain it as they should be.
Nice! I’ve owned two SN95s myself (1994 GT and 2001 Bullitt, both stock)
@@RetroCarsForever Heck yeah, man. Did they put out good power? I've never seen a new edge Bullitt before. I bet they look awesome! I've seen the S197, the Roush and a few Terminators, though but the only Bullitt I've seen belongs to my dentist. It was the body style after the new edge but it looked clean.
@@madd4455 I thought my Bullitt had the perfect amount of power for the chassis. I did a tour of the car before I sold it here if you want to check it out...
ua-cam.com/video/JipL5nk5Mio/v-deo.html
@@RetroCarsForever What a thing of beauty, man. I love how flawless the paint is.
@@madd4455 Yeah it was pretty well taken care of to begin with, but I really went to town on polishing and waxing it as well.
Who's the brunette that likes the classic 70s mustang? She's the real deal.
Her names' Barbara and she's awesome!
4:28- Okay Mustang interior! For realz, what is up with Mustangs having the most uncomfortable seats of “any car ever”? It’s not that they are just annoying... they actually hurt to sit in with all the “air” that seems to be right at the area of your back you need support at.
My best guess is the platform dates back to 1979, where ALL seats were terrible like that, and maybe somehow the seat frame/positioning couldn't be changed that much (even though obviously they should have!)
Later Mustang seats are MUCH better than these. My back aches just looking at pics of this era of Mustang seats!
BMW seats from the 1980s were very comfortable. could spend whole day driving and still feel good
@@shaned1926 Very true, I think Europeans were WAAYYY ahead of American designs when it came to seat comfort in the 80s.
That goes for any Volvo/BMW/Audi/Mercedes seats I've sat in from that era. They were well ahead of the game.
4th camaro pls
You want to see a fourth gen Camaro in this test?
@@RetroCarsForeverhi yes please
I miss my mustang sometimes
Same here! I owned a 1994 GT Convertible, and later, this one-
ua-cam.com/video/JipL5nk5Mio/v-deo.html
but how did that one guy find a DeLorean for under $30,000
Price cap for this series was actually $40k, not $30k. You can still find DeLoreans with automatics like his for $40k.
Lose the stripe, paint it British Racing Green, and it's ON, big boy (says my inner female).
...At that point it'd pretty much look like our old Bullitt edition Mustang!
ua-cam.com/video/JipL5nk5Mio/v-deo.html
👍
If she thought the mustang sounded nice. Just wait until she hears a billyboated C4
Uncorked Corvettes sound amazing, agreed.
Had to watch this after the corvette one 😅 "...this guy might just be a bit of a nuisance". Indeed, corvette owners are old, mustang owners are a nuisance 😂 did expect it to do better with the ladies though. Then again, they apparently liked a jeep, so who really cares anyway 😅
Please tell me you did (or will be doing) this in reverse! Time for guys to talk trash about the boring ass cars they drive. Couple of girls did comment on the fake scoops and lack of tail wing. I took my scoop off since it served no purpose. I don't understand why ford put so many fake scoops. At least make the hood scoop functional like the mach 1. I've had better responses than this fortunately.
Those fake scoops were all in the name of style...I guess it worked, considering Mustangs sold pretty well during this era and the scoopless Camaro ended up dead!
But yes agreed they look better without them, or with the functional ones. I had a 2001 Bullitt (this one- ua-cam.com/video/JipL5nk5Mio/v-deo.html), and I really liked how they cleaned up the side scoop with the Bullitt.
Fake hood scoop remained though, natch!
One person’s trash is another man’s truth.
The spoiler delete was part of the 40th anniversary package. But yes, the inverse would be hilarious.
I drive the same car minus the stripes and interior. Mines got black Bullitt wheels, 15% tint all around, gray leather interior with black trim, and some go-fast mods. I’m old enough that I don’t care what anyone else thinks of my car. I could buy a brand new one for cash, but I like mine for nostalgia reasons.
Does my wife like it? I don’t think so. She drove it one time and hasn’t been in it since. Do I care? Absolutely not. I wouldn’t trade my car for a woman of any variety.
To each their own.
At the end of the day, if you enjoy your car, that’s all that matters!
(My wife didn’t like either of my SN95s either haha)
My wife prefers to drive high dollar 4x4 pickups and huge SUV’s. She says the Mustang makes her feel claustrophobic. That works for me. I don’t have to worry about adjusting my mirrors or seat, figuring out where a new scratch came from, or put up with all the crap like hair ties, makeup, spare sunglasses, etc that all the women I’ve known tend to leave in their cars.
The funny thing is half of these women think that most men drive these cars or mod them/ make them loud to attract women; No honey, we do it for ourselves haha, it ain't about you. I love my c5, but in the case that I was a weird guy who only got a car to pick up girls, I'd just get a merc/beamer, easy.
You’re guess about a German car being most attractive…turns out that wasn’t quite the case! I included a BMW in this test as well, here’s how it did….
ua-cam.com/video/AMnUuX9oc7Q/v-deo.html
@@RetroCarsForever Small pool of evidence, cool video though! It was an analogy anyway
Lets be real here, its a clean car but come on. Its totally stock except for maybe a cat back exhaust. A better example would have been a lowered, tastefully modded, v8 with a exhaust tone imo.
This car is on a stock exhaust. And I was specifically looking for examples in this test that were as close to stock as possible, as each of the 10 cars had to representative of each make/model, not whatever custom mods owners happen to put on each brand.
Otherwise it'd be too apples to oranges.
I go over some more on the "rules" for this test in Episode 1 (Corvette)- ua-cam.com/video/J9wjh0X5QY8/v-deo.html
And in any case, I dont think any of those modifications would've improved the women's opinions.
@@RetroCarsForever 😂 too true judging by some of their reactions/comments.
All my mods are in the suspension. Mach 1 constant rate springs and Bilstein Cobra shocks. MM steering shaft, poly rack bushings, etc. It's more set up for handling.
@@conman5304 ahh ok gotcha. That’s kinda what I’m doing with my new edge. I don’t really care about speed right now but I want it to tear around corners and stuff
Find a owner with a classic car see how they react
If I do a follow up, I totally would...I suspect a classic Mustang would do well.
But for now, the DeLorean was the oldest car of this run, and there's a lot in there regarding how the women feel about older cars-
ua-cam.com/video/i_eHzz3cs_E/v-deo.html
Gritty?
I think she means gritty as in unrefined. Which I can see (I've owned a few Mustangs of this era myself, and refinement isn't one of their virtues).
Why are you asking not car people if they like car 🤣
That’s the point of this social experiment!
I love the green 2000 Ford Mustang that I have. 3.8L V6 engine with automatic transmission, and tan interior. I call her Jade. She may be sexy, but watch out. She's also a naughty girl
Love it or later ✌🏿.
I wonder what women think of a guy that drives a Miata .... lol.
I was curious about that too, almost considered adding one but we already had a few convertibles here.
I bet they'd like it for the most part. The "guys who drive Miatas are gay" thing is (thankfully) mostly an older stereotype that's gone away.
@@RetroCarsForever that's really good news! Miatas are perfect.
@@Stinger430 No argument from me! My dad has an NA that I've enjoyed a lot and I used to own an NB that was even better.
As long as you don't have to haul too much stuff or people or run into a bigger vehicle or go to a drag race...Then yes, they're perfect!
Interesting, so most of the women LIKE Mustangs but not the people who drive them lol
Seems to be the case with some of them. But others don’t seem to love them at all!
@@RetroCarsForever That's a shame. SN95 Mustang GTs are cheaper than most "practical" cars like that newer Civic so gas costs are not a big deal since it was cheap to begin with, and Mustangs are still reliable and have decent cargo space. Stigma goes both ways lol
How about a man sitting on a mustang horse😳😳😳😳🐎...
LOL..."Mustang vs Mustang"
Bet the guy on the Mustang horse would win in this test.
@@RetroCarsForever horse wins easy!
@@dana_what knew it!
Man on a mustang horse?! He wins for sure!
@@RetroCarsForever You could take it up a notch and have Fabio on the horse 🐎
You put the wrong kind of mustang 🙈🙈🙈 should’ve put your bullitt instead or a cobra
I no longer own my Bullitt (and I'm not single anyways!)
It might've done a tad better but not by much, ditto for the Cobra.
I was super happy to have this clean example of another special edition, even if the women didn't care for it.
Also the Mach 1000 provided a lot of interesting responses, and that's SUPER hard to find!
play the blender :)
driven by women lol
All the Mustangs out there and you pick THAT Mustang with that horrible tan interior? Couldn't you at least picked something from 2013 or so and up.
Part of this was finding single guys I knew and trusted and seeing what car they owned that was presentable and mostly stock.
This owner fell nicely into that category, and his car had several unique features that I thought would be interesting to get the women's thoughts on.
Such as- The 40th anniversary package, the unique colors inside and out, and the Mach 1000 stereo system.
Mission accomplished!
@@RetroCarsForever I get your point, but I still think that it's not a typical Mustang, and I don't mean that in a good way. I'm sure I'm not alone in that thought. BTW, I have a 2018 Mustang GT. :)
@@thullraven1 Whats funny is I've found everyone who owns a different gen of Mustang than this one seems to have an opinion on what's a "typical" Mustang is. (Theirs, usually!)
@@RetroCarsForever Bro, my point is that it's 2021. You could have picked a more recent model to use. It's not a fair comparison because you aren't going to see many from the time of that Mustang on the road these days. It's like asking what girls think of a guy driving a Pontiac Fiero or a Honda S2000? There isn't enough of either on the road to make that comparison.
@@thullraven1 I getcha, but I was also going for a broad range of years in this test.
From the 1982 DeLorean up to the new Honda Civic (which was sort of a "control" of this experiment).
Plus, the focus of my channel is less on newer cars anyways, so Id rather focus on cars from the 2000s than brand new.
And there are still a TON of these SN95s/New Edges on the road today. Keep in mind they sold DOUBLE the amount of these Mustangs than they have the newer ones.
mustangs between 2005 and 2009 are only bought by people who don’t know anything about cars… they are crap and have horrible handling.
Wow, they're really that bad? Never driven one but I've owned a few earlier Mustangs and found their handling a little ponderous, especially the live rear axle that liked to move all over the place.
I thought they'd get a lot better with the panhard bar or watts linkage or whatever they put to quell that live rear axle in the 2005s.
@@RetroCarsForever so I’ve owned a 2001 and a 2007 the 2001 in high school and the 2007 much later and yeah for whatever reason they slid and are bad on the handling, it feels like a Honda pilot how the constantly want to tip over and stuff so I actually was up late one night and watched your c4 buyers guide and I bought a c4 1987 corvette lol 😂, but yeah the 2004 and back seems good the 2005-2009 model years idk what happened but they just suck on handling.
@@NyxJinxxx Interesting! Ive never driven those later Mustangs at speed but I've owned a 1994 GT and a 2001 Bullitt...The Bullitt was a decent handler, the 1994 GT was pretty sloppy.
Perhaps the later cars are bigger/heavier, and they have way worse visibility, so I could see them feeling big and ponderous in a way that the SN95 wasn't.
In any case, I'm sure you've found the C4 to be a much better handler than either Mustang generation!
All of them look like the BMW show me the dollars woman. They would like any car if it was wrapped in dollars.
What makes you say that? Talk about judging a book by its cover!
I'll have you know that for ALL of the 10 cars, not ONCE did ANY of them ask about the purchase price. If you think these women only care about money, I think you need to watch closer!
@@RetroCarsForever Your funny, I live in the real world woman like kid wagons. What is the first thing to go when the kid comes? Get rid of that car, where are we going to put the baby? Next is anything else they don't like and that is all the things you had before them. I know that won't happen LOL you have so much to learn. The happiest guy is the one that doesn't care about what women think about their car or cars. Women that like cars don't dress or act like the ones you showcased. I'll show you some good looking women that like cars, but they surely wouldn't dress or act like them. The real test is what do they drive for their own car? If it's the same car every other woman drives you better pass or get ready to end your sports car days. Ever hear the saying look at the old guy in the sports car he's going thru a mid-life crisis? That not it, the real reason is he got his life back after all the kids have gone and the wife doesn't care anymore LOL.
@@tcm2kd5000 All I'll say is when I set up this test, I was SPECIFICALLY looking for women who werent car enthusiasts.
Women car enthusiasts are a rare breed...I'd say maybe 1 out of 100. So I wanted to feature non-enthusiasts to be more relevant to most women, AND because as car enthusiasts ourselves, I think it's great to hear about cars from a fresh perspective.
I go into the details in the first episode more here-
