You just can’t go wrong with a 2010-2014 mustang gt or even v6 .🤷🏼♂️
2010 don’t have the cyclone engine
i have the 2012 v6 Mayhem pkg. i love the s197 body style. And those 19" rims are nice.
Best generation hands down!
I have 2013 premium convertible with pearl white paint... and everyone loves my car that they get their own new mustang while they still staring at mine haha
@@fonkyonder got a 3.7 bolt on tune it’s quick it’s not the 5.0 but with little bits of work can easily handle 5.7s 4.6s 2v or 3v g35/37s Al of that
i think the 2013-14 looks better and more muscular than the 15-16...
but something about the s550 just catches your eye.
I agree. I love both, but i do love my 15 😉
Holy shit! Finally someone agrees. I 100% agree with you.
I completely agree! I bought a 2014 premium over the 2015.
I too
Malie same here that's why I bought a 14 over a 15
I don't really like how Ford took away the premium option in the v6.
PrinceEdward there are a few premium options like 18 inch painted wheels vs stock 17inch and fog lights and electric seats
because they put in to the ecobust mustang
@@rockybriggs4048 how much were some of the premium options?
pro tip: watch series on flixzone. Me and my gf have been using it for watching a lot of movies lately.
@Marcelo Bodhi definitely, I have been watching on Flixzone for years myself =)
Speaking completely from a style standpoint, I prefer the nose of the 2013/2014; however the rear end of the 2015 looks so much better.
Rakan Diab agreed
i’m the opposite haha i love the nose of the S550 however i rear on the 2013/2013 looks much better lol
@@azutori I’m different too. The nose/front end of the s197 looks so much more muscular and aggressive, meanwhile on the s550 (without mods) it looks so sleek and plain. The rear of the s197 has the best taillights to date, but I don’t really care for how it’s kinda boxy at certain angles.
dude, if you are talking about something to compare between the cars such as the seats. show the freaking seats let us see the difference vs you just talking.
I was just thinking a few more video edits with shots of the seats of both
Maybe move the seat down?
Nice video but there were a few technical errors.
1) The 2015 V6 does not have an open diff, all 2011+ Mustangs have a limited slip diff. In addition LSDs are better for handling, drag racing, and pretty much everything performance related. LSDs slip enough that they work well in the corners. You're thinking of something more like a spool which locks both axles together all of the time which is not good for handling.
2) The 2015 V6 is not rated 5hp lower because of drivetrain loss. Drivetrain loss doesn't factor into factory power ratings. A large part of the reason for the lower power rating is probably the revised intake manifold for the lower hood, but I don't think Ford has confirmed this. If not that, it would be down to a lower state of tune for business reasons.
3) A few extra differences are a different axle ratio in the 15 (3.15 I believe vs. 2.73 or 3.31 in the 11-14) and lower weight for the 11-14 largely due to the live axle. The rest of the performance difference in these cars is the small differences in power and the extra bit of drivetrain loss from the IRS as you mentioned.
+DC Garage Thanks for pointing all of this out! I appreciate it!
Correct! I have a 15, it’s a limited slip did.! Thanks
I had a 2015 v6 now I have a 2013 v6. The 2013 feels more muscle car like, it has more horsepower and feels stronger and is a lot louder. It’s also more beautiful! I love my 2013 way more!
Hi, i just bought a 2013 v6 2 weeks ago.white paibt Black leather interior. 100 k miles. Great condition. How many miles on yours? And any tips you can give me like things to be prepared for?
I think kids like the new look but older folk love the vintage muscle look and feel
I have a 14 V-6 premium convertible. For me it biggest selling point is the Shaker audio system. That is the best sounding stereo I have had in any vehicle. I wouldn't get a base model any year because that isn't an option.
What speakers do you have? Stock?
Well I own a v6 premium with the same system, and I've been thinking for long time about upgrade the audio system, has good base but doesn't sound as clear and bright as I wish.
2011 - 2014 v6 stangs were the best honestly for me , 15 to 17 they were just killing off the v6 , cuz more people were already buying the eco boost so that’s why ford stopped making them now
Were the 2013 V6 Mustangs still speed limited to 115 mph for the drift shaft issues? My friend had a 2011 that was speed limited (before he wrecked and totalled it)
Lmao this dude said the 13 feels ancient, I drive a 05 mustang v6 that had 200+ miles stock. Plus all the things that had to be fixed. I drive a 2013 mustang v6 now and I think it’s amazing.
I have tons of 3 exterior mods on my 13.. I wouldn't trade it but i like the news one also
So we should buy what you like? I’m looking into buying a Mustang and 2013 and 2014 are my first choice over the newer models if you ask me...
2015 has a crappy imported transmission.
I know this is a late reply but I couldn’t agree more. I prefer the 13 and 14s over the newer ones
@@joshuajones1209 I’m looking into buying a mustang 2013 v6 as my first car , is 15k a good deal?
@@senorbonbon you're better off using Kelly Blue book then waiting for a response lol
@@senorbonbon What did you end up having to pay?
Listen... I picked a 2013 over a s550 because of the raw feeling and, extra horsepower, don’t tell me not to buy a car because of horse power because, that’s what I love.
When I was looking, I drove a 2014 and a 2015, and I liked the looks of the 14 better. In my opinion, the radio and center looks better in the 2014. the the non-touch screen and and number pad are kinda useless. Also, for the 2015 V6 there's no premium version, so there are very little options. I bought a 2014 premium V6 convertible, and I really like it. The 2015 is nice, but there is more about the 2014 that I liked. It's my daily driver and winter car for when the weather won't cooperate to drive my other car. This is my first Mustang, and so far it's been a blast to drive. Great vid, thanks!!!
pixofu01 I feel the same way the 14 looks meaner but the 15 n up just is updated man that u I want that I got the 2014 but am looking for the 2015 or 16 I race when it comes but other than that it’s just a work car. So I think ima get the 15 just cause it’s newer inside
And has a fresh touch up
I love my 2013 V/6 with the performance package. He should have used that car for the review as that car would kill the 2015 V/6 on the road and track.
I'm looking at it from a style standpoint. For me, the 14 looks closer to the 60s old school Mustang and the 15 looks kinda far out there, maybe too aggressive or what's the word...
Im getting a mid 90's-early 2000's muscle car this summer. ill let you know when I get it and you can review it
+Sam Brannon Awesome man, thanks! I would definitely appreciate that!
Just ordered a V6 and its being produced now. Got a set of wheels and big brakes ready
If you're upgrading brakes(smart), do invest in a one-piece driveshaft. Don't forget the tire pressure sensors because I neglected that detail when I got new wheels and that reminder is so irritating. Every time I turn the car on, it reminds me that there is a tire pressure alert.
I think 2015 v6s don't have those driveshaft problems anymore?
I have a 2014 V6. love it.
S197 V6 is more of mans stang than the S550 V6 I think but both are are nice in my opinion
What does the factory exhaust sound like?
GREAT COMPARISON. I'LL GO FOR THE 2017 V6.
I bought the s550 for the backup cam and the fact that i dont like leather seats and my local dealer only had used s550s on the lot and no s197s. I like the upgraded interior and the lack of body roll in the s550 too much
+dude333 they're both great in their own ways! The S550 is a great performance car for sure!
can somebody tell me name of song at the end of video ?
nice, The new Topgear is here!
what springs were put on the 2013? I have one and I'm looking for springs go lower it
Ford Racing N-Springs
If that 2015 was deep impact blue like my 2016 GT it would look a lot better.
There is nothing wrong with the V6..I'm 38 with a wife and 2 kids..I'm getting a 2016 V6 convertible for everyday driver..I'm happier then shit.She actually said get it..Trade off..Got a automatic so she can drive it..Very careful planning.Right timing.Very sneaky.he he..
The 2005 Mustang is my favorite one so I bought a 2014 because it was the last year with that body style with some upgrades the newer models are not bad but they don't scream Mustang to me.
Graham! I'm your biggest fan!
A 13’ to 14’ V6 is gonna run you about the same $$ as a 15’ to 16’ V6, and IMO, it’s better to buy a Gen that’s been perfected, over one that’s just started, the 13’ and 14’ are gonna be leaps and bounds more reliable than the 15’ and 16’
this guy could convince me to get salt and pour it on myself. the problem is, i am a slug.
I love my '12 v6. Installed a eibach pro kit suspension, changed everything about how the car feels and drives. I drove a '15 v6 and ecoboost and not going to lie, not as fun as my '12 v6. New mustangs feel slower to me as well, but the interior is much nicer. Ford def needs to step it up, because I also drove the new camaros and I'm really considering going to the dark side :)
Nice video too btw!
yea Ford is aiming at fuel mileage on all their Cars and Trucks. thats the issue, their trying to keep people from spending alot of money on fuel which means we dont get as much horsepower. so the only other thing we could do it mod it and retune the ECU to get more performance.exhaust headers etc..but like the v8's are powerful... and they say it pushes out 435 Horsepower and its not true it does push up to about like 380 or a little less then that but however the v8 is were alot of people go for if their looking for performance from a mustang, but i got a 2016 mustang v6 and i love it it drives great, its fast and has a jump in torque. but i do know if you add a K&n drop in filter in it will increase the performance well and save on fuel if your not gunning it.
The GT's put down anywhere from 360-380hp at the wheels depending on dyno and conditions. That's on par with a 435hp rating which is at the flywheel.
Wil_Leighton what suspension kit did you get? Also, how low did you drop it?
First thing to do with a mustang. A custom exhaust
i have a 2016 3.7 v6 just added a diablow tune c and l cold air intake dyno said 25 more hp i love this car larry b
I own a 15 V6, not an open diff.!
Pretty accurate. I have thousands of miles +2015s (V6 & GT V8) and own a '14 convertible V6. I like them both, but prefer the pre-2014 simply because it feels a little lighter driving and is less aggressive looking. The +2015 has had to chase and cover the Camaro and Charger in the market. The difference is like between a '67 and a '70. Your preference. The only (minor) thing I don't like o the new version are the ridges down the hood (from the drivers seat).
The newer are better handlers out of the box, but I put MPT tunes and Koni yellows and Continental Trucontacts on the '14 and it is transformed into a really great handler. It's significantly better than late models now, but you can (and should) do the same to any Mustang. A grin every time you touch the wheel. Both come with the same wonderful V6s and V8s. I do love the V6 (after the tune).
Yes, '14s rental car plastic interior is worse, but the new one isn't THAT much better; an Audi it is not. Significantly, the retro seats in the '14 fit me better and I can cruise forever in them, which I do.
The new axle is a bit of a disappointment. In washboard turns you can tell, but it isn't as great a difference as you might think (see Yellow Konis). The old solid was around so long because it worked well. It's not a factor in a V6 auto that isn't headed to the track.
Thanks for the input! I love to hear everyone else's opinions of the two cars! This comparison is great and I love hearing about your shocks because I've been looking into the same ones. How do you like them? How's the ride? What springs did you pair with them?
actually prefer manually shift up and down on the automatic gear shifter, but not by pressing a button. that feels weird.
what springs were they I habe a 14 v6
Ford Racing N-Springs
IMO:
The first thing to do is to prepare for mods that will come later.
1. Sct x4 tuner and performance tunes (I'm currently waiting for MPT performance email).
2. Suspension (I'm going with adjustable coil over suspension @ raceland when I save enough).
3. THEN whatever you want to add...come with your mods.. I've been informed to avoid the hype for CAI and 73mm TB no real bang for your buck. However real bang for your buck are things like previously mentioned tune, ported upper & lower intakes, headers/exhaust, differential gear swap like (depending on your mustangs purpose) recommend nothing less than 3.73 (manual) or more than 4.10 (automatic).. oh and additionally for racing an auto upgrading your torque converter.
HOLD IT.. HE JUST COMPARED A MUSTANG TO A MIATA!?... 🤥😠
Do you think a 2013 v6 with 130,000 miles but very well maintained for $6000 is a good buy?
My blue car had 112k when it was totaled and was running like a champ until that accident. I think you’d be fine! Look over the service history thoroughly though just to be sure nothing looks strange.
I liked that mustang man definitely saw that one in your videos 👌🏾 but yeah I just got it today actually anything I should look out for?
There’s a good chance that the water pump will go bad if it hasn’t already (it normally does between 60k - 80k miles) but otherwise you should be golden! Also, that’s a very easy job to do yourself if you’re at all handy with tools. Make sure that your trans fluid and diff fluid are fresh. They should have been replaced but it’d be worth doing for peace of mind.
I almost thought Rhett was graham lol
+TheAbsoluteDoge You're not the first. It happens super often
2015 just look like a space ship. But hey, I only drive an 05 v6 convertible so if be happy with either.
hey Graham
The 2016 V6 VS the 2005 V8. I wonder which one would be faster/quicker? Both have 300HP.
The old v8 has more torque but it'd be an interesting test nonetheless! I'll have to see about arranging a drag race! haha
I raced one in my 2016 v6 but we were both manuals and he was a bad driver so I won
What happened to battle royale
Prefer the 2013-2014 look in front.
more bold and american muscle car looking.
2015 looks to samuraish to me.
Subbed!
+Matt Campbell Thanks for subbing!
2015 V6 can't get performance option or Recaro seats.
I like the the 2015 mustang I've gotten mine and added red carbon fiber vynle in it and I added the big touch screen with navi and I've gotten a roush intake with smoke light tent
You got the tomtop screen right ?
+Juan C YEAP
+CG Techniques ok cool same I just installed mine yesterday, but I kept the GPS thing inside next to the Sync box and I never get GPS Signal so I think I have to take it out and leave it attached somewhere. where did you put yours?
+Juan C how is it? is it good?
+Juan C I ran mine through the dash board then pulled it through the panel and ran it through the side panel and mine comes out around the Dome light wires and then I placed the gps right by my rear view mirror can even see wires or the gps unless u look behind the mirror then u see the gps
where can I get the wheels on the 14?
off of a 15! they're GT Performance wheels
They look great I thought that's where they came from
love my 16 v6 especially after the mods I've done to it. trading in for a 17 GT tho lol
loved it so much you got rid of it because internet logic! huzzah!
@@AzuraiAeon He wanted to fit in so bad
Taking corners is all and well... but let me pit my 3.7 with a live axle against a 3.7 with IRS at the drag strip! Live axles dominate the drag racing world
Yes that is true but at the track and daily driving you will loose but I still love all mustangs
🙌
Change car voice gets deeper lol.
I was with you until you said " Its like the Mazda Miata " !!! Damn man ,what an insult to the American Icon Mustang. Miata's are for girls under 5ft5. Anyway I love Mustangs , Gt's ,Cobra's , Mach 1's , and the late model 3.7 and 5.0. Great cars!!
A lot of hate, goes to the Miata. But, look at it, like this... The 2015 MX5 Miata has 155hp/148lbtq. Yet, it does the 1/4 in 14.6 seconds. Not too bad, considering a 2015 Mustang V6 runs around 14 flat. Miatas are quite capable turners, as well. They're praised, for having near perfect power to weight.
nice vid but where is battle royale?
Wait the 13-14 mustang is faster that the 15-16-17 ones!!!???
Yes it is, for two reasons! The S550 V6 is 300 pounds heavier and it's also detuned so that the I-4 EcoBoost looks like a better option compared to the V6.
HeyThisIsGraham thanks a lot for the fast reply! I’m trying to decide what year to buy! I like both but there is something about the 13-14 that makes me want it more! I think is the retro looks and the tail lights! Thanks I think I know the answer! 14 mustang it is!!
I have to say, the S197 (05-14) definitely feels more "Mustang" than the S550 (15-18), in my opinion. If that's what you want, go with the S197 (05-14).
HeyThisIsGraham thanks my friend I sub to your channel!!
Graham Cain ‘11-‘13 v6 is 100 lbs lighter than ‘14, and ‘15+ v6 is only 40 lbs heavier than the ‘14.
No where near 300lbs....
that is actually a lie. The way Ford said this is 5 hp less than the s197. On a dynometer they both score similarly when stock. However Ford accidentally made it stronger with s550. They had to create a new intake manifold for both the v6 and gt for 2015 because the hood sits lower than the s197. check out how much power a 2015-16 makes with just a cold air intake and a tune, it makes better power than the old one. But that does not necessarily make the s550 any faster because they also gained weight from the IRS.
Ford redesigned the intake manifold to fit under the hood of S550, but they also made other changes to address the complaint of low end torque.
The S550 made you grow a beard 😂
Rhett and I were reviewing each other's cars, so technically the S197 grew my beard. lol
I drove both. But the iterations feel cheap on both! They have nothing on my Mazda 3 Sport
Good video but if you’re going to compare 2 cars, well haw about quarter mile run between the cars wit tha time and mph. How about a top speed test!! I promise you you would get more subscribers. I doubt that I could find 10 people that care about the interior just so long as it functions. I’m not trying to be a jerk but if you’re taking it that way, I apologize. Just throwing in some ideas!!!
nice video
+rocco vigna Thank you!
12:57 you got it totally backwards
"He'll put it on the screen." *Doesn't put the springs on the screen*
Swermie Ford doesn’t sell the N-Springs for the V6 anymore so I chose to remove the link that led to nothing.
@@GrahamCain I wonder if there's a replacement 🤔
Lsd vs no lsd drifty boy vs non drifty boy
The main difference between the two cars is that they are not in the same level lol, u are comparing a 3 series bmw to a basic american pony car, the handling, the throttle response, the engine descceleration, the confort, the interior quality lol
The 2015 and up are slower stock for stock. There heavy by 200 pounds. Irs has wheel hop issues. 2011 to 14 with 19z have no problems with handling. If u want to race. 11 to 14 is hands down better
Great review man! Just bought the 2015 and I’m thinking about putting a CAI in it just so people think it’s a V8 😂
Sage Sakelarides waist of money homie
Arden Grosfeld why do you say that
I doesn’t do anything and it won’t sound like a v8 ever. Get an h pipe instead or some headers.
2013: mini muscle
2015: track star
biased? I believed so.
S197 is better more muscle car styling and handling
Of course you buy a car with more horsepower...if you want smh!
If you like low cars, you should have a Corvette.
There's a bit of a price gap between a Mustang and a Corvette, otherwise I'd totally have one! Haha
+HeyThisIsGraham Hahaha yea just a bit.
They're nice, and totally worth the paying a little bit more cash. No mods necessary... I love mine!!!
Mmmmm where's the race
+Cesar Miranda If we had access to a track, there would be one
+HeyThisIsGraham Or you could teleport to good 'ol Mexico ;).
paddles 😂 lol #savethemanual
Boss 302 I didn't really watch the whole video. You mean paddles behind steering wheel? Those are actually the best for manual shifting. You can keep both hands on the wheel and shift faster. Don't judge. They're way more convient and safer
please read up on the specs for the cars before reviewing, first, all 2015 mustangs have limited slip diff, so the 2015 v6 is NOT an open diff. you can refer to this media.ford.com/content/dam/fordmedia/North%20America/US/2015_Specs/2015_Mustang_Specs.pdf and i would also argue against an open diff being better in cornering rather than a limited slip, as you said an open diff "it can transfer the power to the correct wheel and give you optimal grip through a corner" this is false an open diff does not get to choose which wheel it send the power to, it sends power to the wheel with least resistance. so many times the wheel that needs the power is unable to get it because the opposite wheel is slipping. if you want to explain the cornering it would simply be the chassis and suspension upgrades from ford.
+Bobby Lininger You are correct. Thank you for letting me know! I had read online at one point that the new car had an open diff but that is clearly not true. I added an annotation correcting my mistake. Thanks again for pointing it out! I definitely don't want to provide false information.
youre welcome, just didnt see any comments on this and was the only thing i heard that seemed wrong, beyond that its a lot of opinions on style which cant be proven by facts. however i would say i like the 15 v6 better and would like a 16 or 17 for a DD, it was a surprisingly nice car to drive!
They are definitely great cars!
Get outa here
Bro stop taking a dump mid sentence !!!!
2016 better
Seems like you being bias
15 v6s sucked... ! That's why there discontinued! Buy the 14.. v6
Wait why/how? (Genuinely curious)
Very Biased
Well we do both own these Mustangs however we are driving each other's cars in this video. I own the '13 but am driving the '15 and vise versa. I think the joke is that we both like our own cars better than the others but we wanted to compare the two objectively nonetheless!
V6 2015 sucked!
Sorry Graham i hate mustangs.
+Whitefang0331 Everyone is entitled to their own opinion! Haha
I'm glad you love your car and are enthusiastic about all makes and models, I love my Acura.
What sort of Acura do you drive?
