      Well said Painfulldesire!! And CONGRATULATIONS, I hope the pick up goes well. There is a lot of controversy over this switch. I feel the younger generation likes the 2024 models while 30 plus generation is leaning towards the 2015-2023 models. Again congrats on grabbing the LAST ONE! What a cool story to tell for many years to come!!!

    I fell in love with the 69 boss 302 and then 429, 70 mach 1 then those led me to the earlier 67 fastback from there I began to get into all the makes and models of muscle and ponies. 69 charger, 68 gto, 69 camaro and chevelle 70 challenger 71 barracuda…the list just goes on and on but I never strayed away from the mustang, mustang was and has always been my number 1..proud owner of ‘19 GT…im really glad the mustang will be the last one left, good for ford even though I don’t like the change im still glad they were the last ones to put a real engine in their muscle/pony car

    Thanks, but I've had it with Stellantis and the new Dark Horse takes the Mustang to the next level from it's aggressive exterior design. New high tech interior and it's new Gen 4 500 horsepower NA Coyote. It would have been easy to drop the Mustang considering how poorly the S550 was selling in recent years. After seeing the new S650. I think the sales numbers will increase bringing it back to it's popularity after 2017 and the introduction of the S550. The other opportunity for increased sales in from Ford performance and the new S650 GT3 race carand Ford performance and Multimatic teaming up to field the GT3 in IMSA and races including LeMans and the Rolex 24 at Daytona. Just seeing Ford performance GT3 testing ar Sebring has turned my interest toward the new Dark Horse. I am also looking forward to the new NHRA X-Class 2024 Mustang

    301a performance pack with manga ride and 6 speed with 3 pedals and the plane inspired gauges . I was tempted to get race red again but Dark matter metallic grey won me over on the re freshed front end. Car is already making 455 rwhp with mods and a tune while I save for a vmp loki kit.
    Already making more than a dark horse to the wheel and for just over half the price I have afford a new engine with a tremec down the road . ( I know the dark horse would kill me around a track but I don't race)

    Currently saving up for a mustang but it won't be a 2023, looking towards the 2025 production year GT's. I agree with what you said in the video, after this new generation (2024 models) comes to an end, it will unfortunately be the end of V8's. Terrible thing to have to come to grips with. I would have to imagine that by 2030, It will either be gone or it will be in it's last production year. It would only make sense with the direction that the rest of the industry is heading towards. I've wanted a V8 since I was in high school, currently in college but I'm gonna make it happen. It just won't be the 2015's-2023. The Mustang will truly go down as the last of the Mohicans.

    I'm in my late 30s, had a 87 5.0 Mustang in highschool and since had quite a few performance cars. Recently though, I had a boring practical car and I knew I wanted to get back into a Mustang. The 2024 was revealed and I immediately knew I had to have one of the current ones, the new one is not so great looking though, I think with time they can refine it to look great. For example, the first few first gens are ugly as sin but eventually after some tweeks ended up looking handsome. What really drove me away was the iPad for a gauge cluster and the HVAC controls in the touch screen. Why god would they do that. Ended up finding a 22 GT Premium that was loaded outside the Performance Pack. Took forever to find that to be honest. The pickings are kinda slim if you're looking for a specific color.

AND yes its a tough market out there, I was lucky that a late 22 that was being delivered to my dealer with the exact colour and specs that I wanted. We will see where the 2024 goes from here but as I believe it will be the true V8 muscle car generation so regardless I hope they get it right in the end. Who knows, perhaps our 22s will become collector items too :)

    2015 -2023
    Doesn't look like the 1965 Ford Mustang model.
    2015-2023 isn't my favorite Model mustang.
    2010-2012 i really didn't like that mustang model year
    The 2013 - 2014 Ford mustang
    Look really awesome of the body styles.
    2005 - 2009
    Ford mustang GT look nice
    That looked like the 1965 Ford mustang body style.
    I was born in the early 90s
    My Ultra favorite Ford mustang model
    Was the 1994-2004
    Those ford Mustang model year was really cool
    They were my favorite of all time.
    I personally like the 2024s Ford mustang GT. I really don't care for the big touch screen.
    I'll have to get use too it.
    But I really like the Twin Active exhaust it sounds really amazing.
    I also really like the Twin air intake.
    The mustang V8 are on it's last leg.
    I am truly going to be supporting the ford mustang
    Because they are now going to be the only one that carries the V8 engine's.
    I am really hoping too get the 2024 Ford mustang GT
