Nice car, owner seems chill, not sure why he's getting so much hate. He's maybe not the most enthusiastic, but he doesn't come off as arrogant and seems down to earth about the whole thing. He's probably just a relatively quiet, laidback guy. Nothing wrong with that. Seems like if people can't bitch about the car, they'll just find something else to tear apart. Or maybe it's because he has a mustang people automatically want to think he's a douche... This is why we can't have nice things....
I'm totally against all the dumb shit ppl are giving this guy, but I'm totally with you here. Wow it really does seem like he dropped two bars like 45 minutes before the ride.
I think it's because he's on The Smoking Tire and if the host is upbeat and energetic then at the very least the guest should be able to speak clearly enough that everyone can understand. Being laid back has nothing to do with that.
I don't understand how everyone here can be absolutely certain of this man's character without knowing nearly anything about him. He could be nervous, sleepy, have a quiet personality, anything really, but here you are calling him names. Appaling.
Stomping a 120hp Miata down a good mountain road can already make you feel like Senna. "Fast" is a relative concept after all. Doing 120mph in a fat Benz on the Autobahn doesn't feel nearly as fast as doing 50mph in that Miata on a tight road.
Sam Swed 300hp in a 2000lb car is gonna be fast. i had a 93 civic with 350whp. it was super fun and hauled ass. i think it was around 2200lbs. funny thing is i had this one really obese friend i gave a rode in it. he is so big it made it hard to shit. weight 500lbs or around there. car felt so slow with him in it. lol
A bunch of feminine dudes concern more about the owner than his car. I'd like to see the trolls in the comments coming out in a video with a go pro to there face.
I think you're both on drugs... Lol... Yes, this body style was great when it came out... But as soon as the Mustang switched to the new body style, this one immediately looked dated to me. I really don't understand how you don't like the new body style... It's a great looking car.
I was just messing with you, but now that you've said that dumb shit... Um... No... No it doesn't. Have you ever even looked at the two cars side by side? Wow... The grill opening and the lower part of the front fascia on both cars are relatively similar, so the Mustang looks like a 2 door Fusion? Get outta here with that nonsense... Aside from some similarities in the front fascia design, the two cars look nothing alike. Only if a Ford Fusion looked like the car rendering at the following link would your statement be true... www.diseno-art.com/news_content/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/Ford-Mustang-sedan-side.jpg Take a closer look at the Mustang... There's elements from pretty much every generation of Mustang in its design. If you don't see that, it's because you don't want to. So what's the real cause of your hate for the new Mustang? Because you're claim that it looks like a 2 door Ford Fusion is complete bullshit.
I think the coyote goes better with these Paxton/Vortech superchargers. The boost curve helps the variable valve timing still do its job. More torque in the low end more hp in the top end.
I really enjoy all the modification recommendations. Love watching these Mustang videos while thinking about maintenance, contemplating mods and practical upgrades. Thanks for all these post.
Wow, you guys are really judgmental, aren't you? To me, it looks like his head is somewhere else so he has a little trouble taking in what Matt is saying and responding to him. I have pretty bad social anxiety and I'm the same way. When I go to college I sit in the way back corner of the room and try to stay under the radar as much as I can. One day, this guy started making conversation with me, and he was trying to hint at the fact that he thought I was trying to be cool. Little did he know, that I'm terrified to interact with people!! The point is that you never know what's going on with people and don't be so quick to judge. Maybe his dog died, maybe he's going through a nasty divorce. You just can't know.
Wow I'm the same man. I thought I was fucking gay! But all this time I had social anxiety just like you bud. I just couldn't figure it out. I begged god to not make me gay, but all this time I had social anxiety! I just sat and thought one day and i asked myself why am I like this? But thanks to you, I know that here's people like me who have this social anxiety, and just can't help it!
You are so right I'm sitting here watching and thinking he's an arrogant dick but later on in the video I start to notice he has a really cool side to him.
Matt, if you ever find yourself in Moscow (Russia) - I've got a V6-swapped Honda Prelude that I'd love to give you for a one-take) the TL-motor and the six-speed completely transform the car. P.S. The owner of this car doesn't seem to be a douche, as some of the comments would lead you to believe - maybe a bit nervous in front of the camera (the way he didn't understand that Matt wanted to shake his hand), that's about it.
Yeah, I would love to put myself in the position to get bashed by 17,000 youtubers. My guess is most people that go for a one take would be better off not reading the comments.
Usually the order of upgrade is, Tires, Brakes, suspension, "Gear train", Engine. It's a safety issue, making sure everything to stop and handle are in place before you start adding power. So many cars have such innate high limits, I can almost forgive just skipping all the way to upping the engine. Still I feel better when I see hopped up cars that do NOT touch their engine until they have upped everything else first.
I know all about that hanging on for dear life going through some twisties. Nothing better than to fling yourself out of the drivers seat on a sharp banked corner hanging on to the steering wheel. LOL
Sweet ride, the color combinations are nice, its not slammed into the ground looking like theres dozen people riding in it, the wheels fit it and it just looks nice mostly stock as is. And not sure why but I like this retro simplicity of the older model and it suits it being supercharged. I think this would be a great daily possibly and its especially kewl cause its so unassuming yet its a beast underneath. Booyakasha!
The S550 is sexy as fuck but I feel that the S197 was the last mustang to really capture that pure "muscle car" look. Ill be looking into an S550 v6 soon (hopefully), but Ill always respect the S197 stangs.
I wonder the samething at times but I see people get more from a centrifugal s/c over a roots ... But the roots seem to make better power throughout the rpms were as the centrifugal loves higher rpms
Most drag racers tend to still go roots because it makes better low RPM power, but most road racers tend to go centrifugal because they are a lot easier to keep cool, so less heat soak.They also give a linear powerband , just like an NA powerband. Nicer for exiting corners. For people who don't race but want to install the s/c themselves, the centrifugal is easier to install themselves and easier to remove. Some people with centri's uninstall their s/c's every 2 years for smog, no one does that with a roots.
Maybe the owner was a bit camera shy, but I don't think he purposely tried to diss the handshake..... I noticed that but bottom line I was about the car thought it was nice looked like a lot of fun and that gen Stang pricing is dropping a good bit so you could get into that very similar set up and not break the bank and have a super fun weekend toy.....
I think all Mustang one takes need some a crowd based evaluation at some point in the videos. Like how many folks can fit under it before it high centers and loses traction.
What seats would you recommend? I have that issue where I feel I'm hanging onto the steering wheel more then I should be. Makes driving it in canyons not as fun. Thanks.
I thought this guy was fine. Truth be told we've seen weirder in the seat over the years. Love the power the car makes but I'm not sure I like the continual 'air being let out of a pressure cooker' sound. No denying the performance though :)
Farrah, I live in Valencia and am available anytime. I have a 2008 trailblazer SS that came with the ls2 putting out 395 at crank. I've done enough to get 415 at the wheels. I'd love to give you the keys and go for a drive, and I have never seen a TBSS on the show.. It's white, black rims but we can get into details if your interested. U and all the fans will def like seeing my ride if u wanna go for a spin.
All the comments about him being "weird" or "douchy" are ridiculous. He is just a normal guy. I bet if he was black and chill like he is no one would say a word.
Nice car, owner seems chill, not sure why he's getting so much hate. He's maybe not the most enthusiastic, but he doesn't come off as arrogant and seems down to earth about the whole thing. He's probably just a relatively quiet, laidback guy. Nothing wrong with that.
Seems like if people can't bitch about the car, they'll just find something else to tear apart. Or maybe it's because he has a mustang people automatically want to think he's a douche...
This is why we can't have nice things....
Contrary to others, I like this guy. Laid back, not a know it all, not whiny and talkative or annoying.
quiet dude, loud car. classic combo.
Explains me and my brother
Not sure why people are ripping on this guy. He just sounds super laid back to me. Nothing he said sounded douchy
I felt like he sounded high as fuck. But that's not a bad thing!
Guy sounded like he had tossed back a couple Xanax bars before the review
I'm totally against all the dumb shit ppl are giving this guy, but I'm totally with you here. Wow it really does seem like he dropped two bars like 45 minutes before the ride.
Xannies in my Fanta
Lol 12 seconds in and you're already feeling awkward just watching it.
Lol, just cuase the guy acts laid back and relax does not mean he is a douche... thats just his personality.
its just nerds getting intimidated tbh
+Technoplasm yup
I think it's because he's on The Smoking Tire and if the host is upbeat and energetic then at the very least the guest should be able to speak clearly enough that everyone can understand. Being laid back has nothing to do with that.
More like this is Cali and he's probably high af.
0:10 He didn't want to shake your hand lol
damn that escalated quickly
every one can see that
He wasn't paying attention. Didn't see his hand Sheesh. .. No biggie... like you've never been high...😄
Doubt it, you don't ask someone to drive your car to be a dick to them lol. It probably has to do with his sunglasses
I don't understand how everyone here can be absolutely certain of this man's character without knowing nearly anything about him. He could be nervous, sleepy, have a quiet personality, anything really, but here you are calling him names. Appaling.
Welcome to the Internet!
its really simple actually, people in the internet judge a person in the video just watching them. what a bunch of pricks
Great point about the internet trolls playing the numbers game. Anyone who actually drives hard knows that even 300 hp can feel pretty damn fast.
Stomping a 120hp Miata down a good mountain road can already make you feel like Senna. "Fast" is a relative concept after all. Doing 120mph in a fat Benz on the Autobahn doesn't feel nearly as fast as doing 50mph in that Miata on a tight road.
1g feels fast at any speed. It can be launching a Tesla or putting your knee down on a mini bike.
Sam Swed 300hp in a 2000lb car is gonna be fast.
i had a 93 civic with 350whp. it was super fun and hauled ass. i think it was around 2200lbs.
funny thing is i had this one really obese friend i gave a rode in it. he is so big it made it hard to shit. weight 500lbs or around there. car felt so slow with him in it. lol
let's all freak out about the dude and not watch the car..
This car sounds insane👍🏾🏁
That exhaust made my womanhood tremble. And I'm not a woman.
A bunch of feminine dudes concern more about the owner than his car. I'd like to see the trolls in the comments coming out in a video with a go pro to there face.
Smoking is bad for you.
Owner seems more stoned than douchey.
I agree, he smiled every time matt got on the throttle.
definitely stoned.
That's what I thought too. Just baked.
Love the spotlights behind the grille. And call me crazy but this body style is miles better than the new one.
you're not crazy....
I think you're both on drugs... Lol...
Yes, this body style was great when it came out... But as soon as the Mustang switched to the new body style, this one immediately looked dated to me. I really don't understand how you don't like the new body style... It's a great looking car.
+The Ranter The 2015 Mustang design looks like a 2 door Ford Fusion. It's just an assemblage of mindless corporate design cues.
I was just messing with you, but now that you've said that dumb shit... Um... No... No it doesn't.
Have you ever even looked at the two cars side by side? Wow... The grill opening and the lower part of the front fascia on both cars are relatively similar, so the Mustang looks like a 2 door Fusion?

Only if a Ford Fusion looked like the car rendering at the following link would your statement be true...
www.diseno-art.com/news_content/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/Ford-Mustang-sedan-side.jpg
Take a closer look at the Mustang... There's elements from pretty much every generation of Mustang in its design. If you don't see that, it's because you don't want to.
So what's the real cause of your hate for the new Mustang? Because you're claim that it looks like a 2 door Ford Fusion is complete bullshit.
+The Ranter so I guess people aren't allowed to have different opinions now?
that engine bay is clean AF
2016, bunch of dudes hating on a dude for being a dude in a dude-like situation..... Dude...
it seems like a lot of people were bullied in high school in the comments
Wow, some rude comments just because of the voice of the guy. Who cares about that...
It's as if people only click on these videos to judge the owners negatively. Such a shame
I think the coyote goes better with these Paxton/Vortech superchargers. The boost curve helps the variable valve timing still do its job. More torque in the low end more hp in the top end.
I think George set the bar pretty high last week - for how gregarious you should be while driving with Matt.
But you didn't hit the crowd!
I really enjoy all the modification recommendations. Love watching these Mustang videos while thinking about maintenance, contemplating mods and practical upgrades. Thanks for all these post.
Correct me if i'm wrong, but the Coyote really seems to respond to boost.
They do really well
Wow, you guys are really judgmental, aren't you? To me, it looks like his head is somewhere else so he has a little trouble taking in what Matt is saying and responding to him. I have pretty bad social anxiety and I'm the same way. When I go to college I sit in the way back corner of the room and try to stay under the radar as much as I can.

no he's a douche
Love this car! Very subtle mods excluding the Supercharger lol but done very nicely!
I'd love to see some of these commenters go on this and see how they do.
id throw up on video.
This guy is as interesting as the interior in his mustang
Lol well said
You are so right I'm sitting here watching and thinking he's an arrogant dick but later on in the video I start to notice he has a really cool side to him.
its called le deuche le bagge...
hater
He's the definition of a mustang driver
so...chill as fuck?
Just face it man, he didnt wanna shake your hand
The wave at 3:04 lol
I was gonna point that out lol
Christ that 5.0 sounds utterly amazing.
LOL did anyone else catch it when Zack was waving at the camera?
Yes
Was that Zach? I think Matt usually does these alone. He has the owner do drive bys to be edited in later.
Yeah, that's what Matt said the last time, that it's just him and the driver. He was probably shadow waving at us
Seems like a cool guy to me.
I think Jorge should just drive along with Matt for every one take. I need the pure happiness
lol i dont understand why everyones hating on this dude?
theres been plenty weirder and plenty quieter ppl on the show. just fuckin relax ayyyy
Who cares let em hate!
Hateraid was on special.
this dude is maxin and relaxin and everyone else is so mad. chuff chuff
Matt, if you ever find yourself in Moscow (Russia) - I've got a V6-swapped Honda Prelude that I'd love to give you for a one-take) the TL-motor and the six-speed completely transform the car. P.S.

Snowden?
Oh no he di int!
Wtf 😂😂😂😂 lol
that sounds wicked
Jeff K
So, apparently, Snowden is the type of guy who would drive a Honda?
Always nice to start out with a “tryin to shake your hand...”
2:48 literally described my current progression of issues with my car
nice car and for those of you talking about the owner get a life he seems laid back that's all
Good one! The sound from that stang is badass!
Gt500 steering wheel rim lol. I had one in mine also. Nice upgrade.
Loved the wave from the shadow-man
Mustangs just sound so nasty I love it
dude getting blasted for awkwardly shaking matts hand.
Nice car but the owner jeez dude. Matt wants to converse with him, but nah he's comfortable.
By buddy’s 2012 is pushing 765 HP at the wheels on e85 running low 10’s in the 1/4 mile using good tires these are great cars can’t go wrong with them
I can't get those car meet mustangs out of my head. I just think he is going to slide off the edge at every turn lol
Nice clean review as always, that's actually my cousins 5.0 hes not a douchebag lol but great way to judge 👍
He does seem kinda douchy...
I love how much flak this guy is catching in the comments section. I don't agree with any of it but I do find it funny.
I cracked up at the missed handshake in the beginning. I'd be waving at camera and shit too. little things like that are hilarious.
Great car...but OMG the scenery in this vid is fantastic.
That engine sound is great, but the fluttering reminds me too much of wind buffeting into a car's open window.
He's just baked guys, chill. One love.
it's like matt's talking to a robot
Let's see you in the passenger seat, it'll be like talking to an awkward little 13 year old nerd ;)
Yeah, I would love to put myself in the position to get bashed by 17,000 youtubers. My guess is most people that go for a one take would be better off not reading the comments.
he's stoned
hey driveby guy! thanks for waving
Good recommendations Matt.
The looks of that generation of mustang hasn't aged incredibly well.
abracing199 not as well as the 05-09, but not terrible.
Usually the order of upgrade is, Tires, Brakes, suspension, "Gear train", Engine. It's a safety issue, making sure everything to stop and handle are in place before you start adding power. So many cars have such innate high limits, I can almost forgive just skipping all the way to upping the engine. Still I feel better when I see hopped up cars that do NOT touch their engine until they have upped everything else first.
It's hilarious how many people are bothered by the owner. Beautiful car.
This video needs more George. Other than that, great review as always!
Great car, love the engine bay as well!
0-100 people in under 4 seconds 😎
I know all about that hanging on for dear life going through some twisties. Nothing better than to fling yourself out of the drivers seat on a sharp banked corner hanging on to the steering wheel. LOL

Truer words never spoken starting at 2:47
Sounds like it needs a BOV, that compressor surge can't be good for that supercharger.
Are you talking about the fluttering sound? That’s bad for the blower?
good one take
sounds good..really dig the flutter
Damn this thing is nice. Out of curiosity, how come everyone is moving towards the centrifugal s/c instead of a root s/c?
I wonder the samething at times but I see people get more from a centrifugal s/c over a roots ... But the roots seem to make better power throughout the rpms were as the centrifugal loves higher rpms
I think perhaps packaging - they are small and easy to fit, and the technology has come so far there aren't many downsides any more.
I believe its because they are cheaper
Most drag racers tend to still go roots because it makes better low RPM power, but most road racers tend to go centrifugal because they are a lot easier to keep cool, so less heat soak.They also give a linear powerband , just like an NA powerband. Nicer for exiting corners.
For people who don't race but want to install the s/c themselves, the centrifugal is easier to install themselves and easier to remove.
Some people with centri's uninstall their s/c's every 2 years for smog, no one does that with a roots.
Thanks for the information people! I honestly didn't know a lot about the pros and cons of certain superchargers. Learn something new everyday.
Maybe the owner was a bit camera shy, but I don't think he purposely tried to diss the handshake..... I noticed that but bottom line I was about the car thought it was nice looked like a lot of fun and that gen Stang pricing is dropping a good bit so you could get into that very similar set up and not break the bank and have a super fun weekend toy.....
I think all Mustang one takes need some a crowd based evaluation at some point in the videos. Like how many folks can fit under it before it high centers and loses traction.
Yo who cares how he acts; we're all here for one reason, and that's for the sheer love of cars.
Looks amazing. Sounds amazing. I like it.
Vote for base 15' seats! I also have stock springs in mine and are not planning to lower it for just cruising :)
Nice sounding stang!
Call this guy Mr. Personality
Matt, can you please look into doing more burnouts as you once did :) Nothing quite like a good smokey roll on burnout.
Thanks
Matt are you going to be doing any reviews in Georgia in the next year?
You should change the name of these videos to Owner Takes...because clearly its the only thing these car people care about.
awesome sounding car!
Are you uploading that video with doctam3
Probably in about a one or two weeks is my guess as he films these videos 1-1.5months before upload
This comments page literally makes me embarrassed to be a human being. Car's great.
Is that like a pro charger supercharger? Like a centrifugal supercharger
Yep, its a centri IE: Paxton, Vortech, and Procharger
What seats would you recommend? I have that issue where I feel I'm hanging onto the steering wheel more then I should be. Makes driving it in canyons not as fun. Thanks.
I thought this guy was fine. Truth be told we've seen weirder in the seat over the years. Love the power the car makes but I'm not sure I like the continual 'air being let out of a pressure cooker' sound. No denying the performance though :)
Love that Sound!
Farrah, I live in Valencia and am available anytime. I have a 2008 trailblazer SS that came with the ls2 putting out 395 at crank. I've done enough to get 415 at the wheels. I'd love to give you the keys and go for a drive, and I have never seen a TBSS on the show.. It's white, black rims but we can get into details if your interested. U and all the fans will def like seeing my ride if u wanna go for a spin.
this guy was so un-into his own car
If I ever got on matts channel I'm gonna make stuff hella awkward! Gotta make stuff hella awkward haha
love this setup
the owner of the car seems nice. the car is alright. he kinda reminds me of Stifer from american pie
What shift knob is that? it's shorter
All the comments about him being "weird" or "douchy" are ridiculous. He is just a normal guy. I bet if he was black and chill like he is no one would say a word.
TRIGGERED
Car sounds great
surprised he hasn't lowered. the s197s are practically lifted from factory
It's for sale he listed it for $26k
That fly by tho!!! Jeeez!!!
Nice Mustang!
