- We review the 5.0L V8 Bullitt and the 55 Edition 2020 Mustang's back to back.
Americans love a good mustang - From Steve McQeen to John Wick, all the cool guys drive a one... so god knows what we were doing in them.
Massive thanks to Ellie Sax and Catherine Tetlow for letting us borrow their beasts.

Which one would you take?
Bullitt. Of course!
Bullitt is THE ONE! Incredible sounding car with very cool look. It’s fairly priced as well!
Bullitt.
Bullitt with those wheel spacers for me!
Bullitt of course. 🇳🇿
Nothing chuffs Americans like watching Brits begrudgingly enjoying our cars. I think it's a badge of honor to see these now being enjoyed and respected from drivers around the world. Part of it is because these cars are so affordable in America that as growing up we ALL had a friend's dad or big brother with a car like this so we have many good memories of feeling that V8 dopamine. And now we get to see you guys having those same experiences as adults and it's just so nostalgic and fun!
Drove a V8 mustang in Chicago this year for a week, fucking loved it. 2nd hand 2017-19 models cost around 25K GBP over here. So pretty steep.
@@foolishsuckas Those are around 25k-30k USD here. It's still a ton of car for the money. Personally I'd go with older Corvette. We can get C5 Z06 for around $20k USD or even less in good condition and reasonable miles.
I've have owned four, all silver GT Mustangs to date here in the USA, including my current 2018 model.
Quality, authentic video, can see this channel going far
Great video and production standard as always chaps. Big fan from HK!
Lol..we have curves & country roads. The reason they stayed with leaf springs was price, it's always been an affordable car. I also gotta say a straight axle is really fun to drive, it makes it more challenging, believe me I have a 2020 pp2 Mustang & handling is great on the curves with the Independent rear end but I still like a straight axle also. Oh also the automatic has to learn how you drive it gets better 🇺🇸
Top review boys. Ordered one in antimatter blue.
Shame these cars aren't more popular, but then again that's a positive I guess. Something a bit more left field. Modding scene for these is huge apparently and an amazing selection of mod parts available. Great video guys.
Great video guys
Just not enough footage driving the bullitt version 👍
Great review, but the leaf springs in the late Corvettes was extremely capable straight line or not. The only issue with them is that you can't swap spring rates like a coil over design and the fact that they don't perform well on uneven surfaces (potholes, etc), but on a prepped track they're great.
No idea how I found this channel but. I love it
As an American, you should visit some time. We love corners. We have corners. We can corner.
Well yes there are corners like highway 101 down through Oregon but the very fact that people drive across the country to find a couple of corners on the tail of some lizard in the Appalachain mountains kind of sums it up. You could of course drive skyline or the whole Grand Ridge like Steve McQueen... But if you attempted to do so some Ranger would remove your testicles and there are lots of reasons for doing so. Like too many tourists and bears neither like being run over by a Mustang. And Rangers are very protective...
@@rosewood1 WTF are you on about. You strike me as someone who has only read about the USA and never been here. We have tracks and autocross ALL OVER the place because we love driving here in the USA. Suck it up and realize that the USA is everything England should have been, and would continue to be if it werent for college educated women who are mad at their dads. XD IE women being allowed to vote is ruining america.
“Old man’s testicles “ is like a V8 Bullitt Mustang! I knew there was a reason it was my kind of car!
Great job man, and great video! For next driving videos with manual cars, it could be possible to fix a camera on the pedalbox to film your footwork please? :)
We actually did this in our Fiesta ST video. Will try it again though for sure!
@@OLLIEHEELANDTOE Yeah, thank you very much man! ;)
...but you are already watching the 'heel & toe' ;-)
Very good gents! 👏🏼 I’m in Australia & I was fortunate enough to get a Bullitt edition in 2018. Absolutely love it! I wouldn’t have bought it if it was auto.🤮 As for men’s testicles reference, well yeah I’ve been around that block a few times.🤪🤣 The old gent who pissed his pants the back of the bus used the “flow” for referencing when to get off the bus. Uphill? Na…downhill!😂 Cheers from “Down Under”! 🍻😎🇦🇺
Cheers Andrew :) x
watched a few of these mustang reviews now and this channel is the first one to say the brakes are bad
I have one .nothing wrong with the brakes
@Heel & Toe
What was your issue with the brakes?
They do a good job on the unlimited Autobahn and also on the Nürburgring.
And Americans seem to have no problems tracking their Bullitts, either.
Some serious cars
Sounds like the busses in Seattle.
The Bullitt of course, why? Because I own one , good video
Honestly i believe if you'd dropped that 10r80 in sport and held it on the floor you may have gotten more excited about it. Plus ya get remote start.
Why this channel is so underated?? 🙂. The vedios are so so good!!
Wish you could drive my GT350 haha its got 526 but you need to keep the revs about 1k higher. Its the car the bullitt's intake manifold originated from, also has a camaro gearbox.
Unfortunately GT350 doesn’t come with the beautiful digital dash display
Hey you guy's should get ur hands on a PP2 it's considered to be the baby Shelby great handling car
I’ve got to be honest I just don’t think people drive this car correctly 100% in a manual not an automatic but people don’t understand the power bands in this car is between 31/2 to 4000 rpm and lazy and Woloy isn’t the words I’d use and cornering with the new Magna ride suspension is great needs a batter review for me
But the manual was SOOOOO good!!!!!
The manual is 100% the one to go for but lazy and woloy aren’t The words I’d us on this car it’s a V8 that needs to be driven hard and at High revs and that’s what makes this car exciting
The Bullitt actually has 480hp, the GT has 450hp.
First review where I have heard the auto box lambasted. It’s as strong as an ox, more so than that Chinese made manual which has has many a complaint and even a lawsuit against Ford. However, most use the auto for drag racing, where it excels and not cornering. I love my manual and with a Steeda clutch spring fitted it is so much smoother to drive. 🇳🇿
The issue with the MT-82 generally lies in the shift linkage (not being especially robust/rigid) and the underlying bracketing. The MT-82 has the shifter mounted directly to the chassis via the transmission tunnel. Under hard acceleration/rpm and load, the engine and transmission twist under the torque of the engine (this is normal to an extent on every car), however most manual transmissions (for high powered cars) mount the shifter and linkage directly to the transmission, not the chassis like the mustang's design. This means the transmission moves and twists, but the shifter and linkage doesn’t move with it since it’s bolted to the chassis directly.
This leads to an inconsistent shifter feel, grinding, high rpm lockout, and all those other things you hear about in the forums. Add the scenario of driver at a drag strip trying to shift aggressively and quickly to a shifter design that doesn’t like to be hurried and you have a recipe for complaints and issues. It's a shame Ford dont put the Tremec into the standard GT's
Oh also automatic has to learn how you drive & the trans gets better
Correct - America is the World & Texas is the real America 🤠 PS - Brembo brakes on my 2018 GT Premium are great.
Two words

Top video guys
Toe do you know how can the Mustang be Camaro
In the US, once you get out of the city center, there are plenty of curves.
It's built in Dearborn, Michigan. The opposite end of the country from Texas!
They is build in Flat Rock, 19 miles closer to Texas, but still not Texas.
Seems to me the two of you need to stop researching the cities in America. Where I come from the roads are very twisty and wind their way through the hills. They’re a lot of fun to drive.
Wonder what’s a Texan horsepower 🤓
Yeh I wonder that as well. Just got excited!
Trust me, we have corners in America.
And a lot more of them than in the UK, too!
maybe the real question should be asked why Englishmen would buy a Mustang?
Ill informed and immature.
