Yeah I wouldn't get that ego boost
with little baby four cylinder.
I'm pretty much trying to decide
between the GT or the Boy,
but as soon as I sell my bald eagles, (eagle screeching)
I'll probably pick up one of them GT350s.
No matter what Stang I got, I'll be straight piping
and get some of them chrome wheels.
Mustangs are nothing new to the automotive market.
Pony cars have been for sales for over 50 years.
A rear wheel drive, big V8,
record selling sports car checks all the boxes
for a car enthusiast looking for something fun
that will be smokey burnouts, all right.
Everyone has to love these cars, right?
Wrong.
High horsepower, motability,
and being relatively affordable,
sounds pretty damn good to me.
So why do Mustangs get so much hate?
(car engine revving) (upbeat music)

Don't forget wheels, tires
and suspension fitment industries that come,
you already know.
Now, the first Mustang was released to the public
in 1964 with an MSRP of 2,368 bucks.
Ford had no idea what they created though
expecting to sell 100,000 Stangs for the year,
they ended up selling 22,000 on the first day.
Once seeing the success,
they knew they had to keep upping the bar
to keep the Mustang going.
In 1965, Carroll Shelby got his twist on the pony car
and made the GT350 pushing over 300 ponies as well.
This is a big deal to have a car pushing
that kind of power straight out of the factory back then.
Through the years, the Mustang would gain more and more
popularity being in movies such as "Gone in 60 Seconds,"
"Double O Seven," hell.
They even had one in the "Fast and Furious Tokyo drift."
They just snuck that puppy in there.
So that's pretty cool, but the Mustang isn't all gravy,
hell no.
The second generation named the Mustang II,
which is a creative as hell name,
was released in the '70s and came with either
a 4.9 liter V8, a 2.8 liter V6,
or, or, a (beep) 2.3 liter four cylinder.
Increasing oil prices had muscle cars
or anything not focused on fuel efficiency,
squirming and not selling,
but to make this even more strange,
the eight cylinder made only 140 horsepower.
What in the same hell is going on here?
This continued into the third generation.
This had a V8 and a four-cylinder turbo
which were actually pretty similar in horsepower
except the four banger SVO came with more,
coming at 175 ponies and the V8 only having 165,
still are both disgustingly low.
Ford even had thoughts of making a four cylinder,
front wheel drive Mustang made by Mazda
but the public was like, "dude, what the fuck?
What are you talking about?"
The public had such negative feedback on this
that Ford changed it last minute and called it The Probe.
Probably it was named Probe because everyone told Ford
to take that idea and shove it up their (beep).
I think this is where the hate on the Mustang really starts
to take shape.
Offering economy versions of cars
at least for enthusiasts is not very cool,
especially on cars that are meant to be taken on
as high horsepower things on the street with huge V8s
(eagle screeching)
As we move through the years, Ford would change the styling
and looks of the Mustang, but would axe the four cylinder,
but until 2015, it is, 'cause they were like,
"yeah that was a great idea, let's do it again,
(chuckles) hell yeah."
But that's just one thing,
let's get into why these cars actually get hate.
I used to own a 99 Mustang GT, similar to Sean's back here
and could tell you that the interiors on these cars
has never been anything crazy,
paired with cheap plastics and boring styling,
it's kinda like getting a nursing home on wheels.
Not only that, but any young person that picks up a V6
immediately takes in all the heritage
of this American muscle and automatically assumes
the horsepower numbers that come with the V8s
are applied to the V6 as well.
Newsflash, they're not, they're slow, okay.
These cars also, through the years
have became pretty affordable.
So now you can get some young gun ready to race it
every single stoplight that has had their license
for two months at a 300 plus horsepower mullet machine.
You're gonna have some, I got to say, crowd killers, aright.
Yes, all the memes, all the videos, they're true.
People get into these cars and are not ready
or responsible enough to calmly leave a car meme.
You've seen the videos.
Something about these cars make people think
they're either need to show off
or prove that it can break the tires loose.
I'm guilty of it as well, alright, you gotta own up to it.
I came around to turn a little too hot in the rain
and my Mustang and I hopped a curb, it was a great time.
It's the nature of these things and the types of people
that are buying them.
On the other end of the spectrum, you've got the older crowd
who are the elitist of the scene,
hating after market modifications
and anything that has a four cylinder
is automatically a race runner,
which in turn starts an internal war
across the car community
and we don't need to get into all that just yet.
To ice to the cake, Ford announced the new Mustang Mach-E
which is the opposite of what the Mustang
ever was supposed to be, being electric and an SUV.
Ford, why, why, why are you doing this?
You could have called this, the Mach-E
and everyone wouldn't have turned ahead,
but to label this a Mustang
and to pair it in with muscle car heritage is disrespectful
and adds fuel to the fire.
What do you think?
Do you love it?
Do you hate it?
Drop a comment down below.
I'm gonna be reading every single one,
and if you have a crowd killer
or any other car for that matter,
check out fitmentindustries.com for all your wheel,
tire and suspension needs, alright.
There are some pretty rowdy Mustangs out there though.
Gotta give credit where credit is due.
I got to drive Kirk's RGT350, hot damn.
Anyway, I'm gonna go, y'all trying to clean this thing.
It's covered in salt.
He's a winter beater.
Bye.
