0.03 -> rev up your engines, today I'm going to
show you why the 2018 Mustang g/t is
7.77 -> worth the $38,000 price tag that this
model has, now first and foremost is the
12.75 -> engine, it's a venerable 5 liter v8 but
it's got some interesting stuff under
17.46 -> all this plastic, it has a GDI gasoline
direct injection, I know a lot of people
22.439 -> are going to say, all those engines they
build up carbon in the valves, but not
26.58 -> this engine because it's been redesigned,
sure the earlier GDI engines and most
31.019 -> manufacturers, the intake valves would
carbon up because the PCV valve all that
36.84 -> air and oil mixture would get on the
intake valves, and they would carbon up
41.37 -> over time, because there was no fuel
coming in to clean them like in an old
45.6 -> car, like my old Celica, the fuel
injectors are on the intake manifold, so
50.43 -> when they spray gas, they spray gas in
the intake, it get sucked in over the intake
55.739 -> valves, which cleans them and keeps
carbon from building up, so the
59.28 -> older-style GDI's they just spray gas
directly into the combustion chamber and
64.17 -> the intake valves who get clogged up
with carbon, which was a real mess, but
67.83 -> not in this Mustang, when you take this
beauty cover off, you can see that Ford
72.99 -> has figured that problem out, what
they've done is they put regular fuel
77.159 -> injectors eight of them on the intake to
spray gas on the intake valve, then deep
81.6 -> inside the engine they have eight GDI
injectors for the gasoline direct
86.729 -> injection system, so what you have here
is a combo, to keep the valve from
90.509 -> getting carboned up, sometimes the fuel injectors
on the intakes spray to clean them up
95.46 -> and then when you need the best power
and gas mileage, it uses the GDI
99.81 -> injectors, all run by computers, so you
end up getting the best gas mileage, the
104.79 -> best power, and the cleanest engine all
rolled into one, or I should say all
110.28 -> rolled up into 460 horsepower, now this
model has the optional 10 speed
115.979 -> automatic transmission, and you might say
automatic transmission in a Mustang ahh,
120.42 -> well if you have a road tested one of
these you'd stop saying ahhh, this baby
124.439 -> is computer-controlled,
and its various mode you can set on it
128.22 -> and even though you might think you
really know how to drive a stick-shift, the
131.79 -> computer that runs
thing, if you put it in track mode, it is
135.89 -> going to shift and drive a lot faster
than you can, the computer is much faster
140.48 -> and smarter than you are, but if you
don't think this automatic has power
144.8 -> check this out, if you don't believe me, look
it's got paddle shifters, minus on this side
155.57 -> and plus on this side, so you can shift
it yourself if you feel like trying to
160.52 -> beat the computer, me I just use the drive mode, normal, sport +, track, that's only
166.94 -> for the track,
it's even got a drag strip mode for
169.94 -> doing burnouts, and the snow wet in case
it's snowing or raining, so you can drive
173.959 -> normal as fast as you want, and realize
that in a normal mode, it has three
180.23 -> overdrive gears, so it's going to get
decent gas mileage I drove this thing on
185.3 -> the highway going to speed limit 65, and it
got like 24 miles a gallon, which for a
190.57 -> 460 horsepower engine is decent gas
mileage, and it's got a nice pony
195.41 -> interior, hey my wife usually doesn't
like sports cars, but we took the drive
199.82 -> down to Galveston, she loved these comfy
seats, she said they were one of the most
203.6 -> comfortable seats she's ever had in a
car, it's been updated look it's got
206.78 -> independent suspension now, and CV driveshafts,
and some of the purists are going to say, oh I
212.75 -> want that solid rear axle, Hey
once you've driven one of these they
217.25 -> handle better, the computers control the
drive better, it really is a better
221.69 -> system, sometimes it's good to get out of
the dinosaur ages
229.629 -> now that's a classic Mustang sound on
this one, but there are available other
233.799 -> engines and other models that have what
are flat cranks like a Ferrari
237.609 -> and they make an even more aggressive
sound, but this is the classic sound and
242.049 -> I like the classic sound, hey they make a
really good sound, they're loud but
246.37 -> they're not outrageous, they're not like
one of those guys in a Porsche or
249.819 -> Ferrari where they're backfiring while
they're down shifting and just sound
254.319 -> like all the racket in the world's coming
loose, these make a nice throaty sound
258.97 -> and it has really good suspension system
that's also run by computers, say you go
263.169 -> to the drag strip mode and you're doing
a burnout going down the drag strip, it
267.34 -> sets it so the suspension goes right
so it doesn't pull up too high, I was
271.21 -> really impressed by how it went on the
track and then how nice it rode on the
276.28 -> road, just an all-round car, a car that can
do all things really well, sure you could
282.729 -> put a supercharger on it and put more
horsepower and stuff like that, but
286.599 -> really, 460 horsepower is quite a bit of
power as it stands, and the looks, hey
292.919 -> classic Mustang, nothing is exactly the
same as a Mustang, they always got that
298.78 -> little bit of something that the other
cars don't have, so now you know what
302.979 -> you get for $38,000, and if you're
willing to spend that price, ah odds are
308.949 -> your going to be happy,
so if you never want to miss another one
312.81 -> of my new car repair videos, remember to
ring that Bell!
