The Mustang GT is my bread and butter. A car platform I've gotten to know over a long period of time and has for the most part never let me down. The power per dollar out of a 5.0 Mustang GT is nearly impossible to beat in the car industry, and they are a ton of fun to drive. My 2018 Mustang GT has been with me since 2019, and since then it has gone through many transformations. This now VMP ODIN supercharged 750HP daily driver is full of smiles per gallon and I wouldn't trade the experience for anything. However with the Mustang GT S650 now released, is it time to move on? Let's talk about it.

Favorite car in the ThatDudeinBlue fleet?
Which ones would you keep/sell? (I still have all of them)
Sell the Dodge Magnum Hellcat Swap, fund your drift projects which seem to be a direction you're striving for. With Drift Events an what not it only makes sense to me, an honestly I could see you funding another drift project if that was a goal such as grabbing up a GR86 or Manual Supra for track days as it really impressed you. The EG Hatch is on it's way, but again if you aren't actively showcasing or driving it I'd let it go as well potentially.
Your Nissan 240SX has been a love project, so I couldn't fathom selling it after all the work that has gone into it. The Acura Integra is great, though can a Acura Type-S or FK8/Type R be a better choice? Smurf has been with the channel for the long haul, an I'd have to place a hefty figure before considering selling it or trading it. Maybe consider doing a 50% goes to a Charity Auction an the rest goes to you? I don't know float that idea with your viewers. As for Subzero keep it, it's been a superb daily. Still has a ton of miles ahead of it. Maybe in 2-3 years down the road you can reconsider floating the idea. So that's where my stance is
The little civic hatch is my favorite. I've always wanted one and yours is perfect. Sell whatever one is easy to find. That's what I would do 🤷
Yoooo your fb got hacked I think, the story Is like half a nude of a women and the page got renamed to American magazine or something
@ThatDudeinBlue your FB has been hacked like the dadbodvet
Loved my Gen 2 I thought it was going to be a forever car, but love my c6 z06 even more completely different experience
C6 Z06 is The Best Corvette Ever
@@RiC3R69 even over the c6 zr1 imo, the fact I can beat magnuson red eyes and im completely na is just flat out hilarious
A man of culture
Big difference in a car built to be a rental compared to a car built to win races
I made the same switch, crazy how different the two are
You pretty much answered your own question in a nutshell shell. Keep it. Let’s be honest, it’s fast. Fun. Custom. Has beautiful memories. And has a great all around back round for you. It would be like getting rid of the 240 cause it’s just aged.
My Gen 1 2014 6R80 is TVS blown 8 pounds ~625. DD car, 365. I'll never sell it. I get DD-ing potent cars daily. It's a rock solid 11.50 car on street all-seasons. Kills so far? A C7 Z06, a Hellcats on DRs and my friend's GTR....all at the strip.
Agree I like my S550 too much to trade in. I daily mine too and it's still so satisfying to drive even having owned it for a while. I'm actually not thinking about the next car in my life for a rare change.
Love the car! Thanks for sharing your experience. I also have a 2018 GT but with manual 6 speed. Never had any issues with it, and it’s bolt on naturally aspirated, not FI. I feel the same…not enough of an improvement to upgrade to the S650. Plus like you, I bought my car at a very low price point new. Best car I’ve ever owned and it’s just a hoot to drive.
This vlog style video is nice, hopefully you could give us more updates on the vehicles in your fleet in this format. Was very entertaining and informative
I love this car. I'm probably the only fan who remembers you getting an f150. Probably the only one who would love a little build series or more truck content
You were the reason I ended up getting my s550. I was apprehensive at first since I never had one and found out how fun it is made me decide to get the 10 speed. Pp1 2020 in rapid Red and 301a. I love it.
Do you regret not getting the Standard transmission? Im thinking about getting one but I dont know if I should get the 10SPD or Standard
@ToastyClam not at all. I actually have just as much fun with the paddles. I drove the manual and didn't like it. If I could've afforded a mach 1 I would get manual all day
@@joew1316 I heard the GT has a gross manual. And the only good one is the Tremic that comes with the higher trims. Which means I cannot afford it. Might be the 10 SPD for me too.
I bought a Veloster N after your review. Its close to 50k and while some things are not as nice as they could be the car is a blast to drive with the small number of upgrades.
I just got my first mustang (S550) about 3 weeks ago and it is awesome. I live in australia and i get so many people revving at me,asking me to rev it. People love mustangs here in australia. I absolutely love my american muscle car.
I have a 2011 GT and a 65 Gt.. You're making me want to get an S550. Car looks fantastic.
Miss the vlogs. Glad to see one back 🤘🏻
This is one of the nicer Mustangs I’ve seen. So well done and clean. I could see this type of build. I have a Dark Horse and don’t want to do much to it. I know you say it’s loud but it’s a bit of a sleeper as well. 👍🏾
man i enjoyed seeing you at beech bend park in bowling green ky last year. Hopfully you will be there again this year. love this car dude.
Your S550 is perfect don’t get rid of it. Can’t believe you’ve done so many miles at 750rwhp on pump gas. I have a Whippled 10R80 2020 GT running only 660rwhp and I’d love to take it up to 750 like yours but my tuner demands it be done on e85 so seeing yours live at 750rwhp on pump gas is amazing.
666 HP be bad ass how much boost u got going on there
@@user-nh4je9ul7f not sure, it runs a 3.75 pulley, 132 TB 1 7/8 LT headers plus 3 inch cat back exhaust but the tuner has kept it very conservative because he gave me a 3yr warranty for the bottom end. 3 yrs us up not one issue now ready for a bigger fuel system and e85 and thinking about getting it remote tuned by Lund
Keep what u got. Besides the new dash setup and some exterior changes, along with the air and throttle setup, same car.
Keep it! I also drive a 750hp (although not to the wheels) Roush Phase 2. I started watching your content due to my 2021 GT Premium; wishing I could have gotten the Odin up here in Canada however no shop really being able to source and install it for me forced me to get the Roush from Ford. I enjoy watching Sub Zero and have been debating on the RTR front Grille as well as swapping out my rear Nitto RII for 17" beadlocks and Mickey Thompson tires to further the traction.
Your 2018 GT is beyond awesome! I would keep this car forever!
The S550 is by far the best Mustang. You have a nice one, hang onto it!
I agree with you I would definitely keep your 18 it's badass the way you have it set up I'm also curious where did you get those black inserts that are under the blinkers ?
just got myself a used '22 mustang gt in a manual. love it
For sure keep the s550, ive had my s550 for coming up 2 yrs. I've added steeda pro actives struts and shocks with .5" drop springs with billet vertical links to top it off. And it's still an experience to drive it everyday. I'm excited for my new sve 19" wheels and nt555g2 (275 & 305) to get a real nice setup b4 putting power
I would have loved to see the racing in a video its cool seeing you reveiw all diffrent types of builds but id like to see you rip your rigs too
That gauge thing you put in on the passenger side is cool
I cant wait to get mine next year
Late to the party, but I'm ready to mod my 2020. Your video just pushed me.
I made the switch to the S650. I'm really enjoying the car and glad I made the move. But honestly, you can't go wrong with either choice.
Good for you on keeping your Mustang bro! I have an idea for you if you're willing to try it out for a mod. How about trying to see if the 2024 Mustang Darkhorse rear wheelhub and brakes fit the S550. I'm curious myself as that would make a nice upgrade. I think Ford making the Mustang Performance Pack with only a 2 piston rear brake was lame and the new 2024 Darkhorse brakes look amazing. Still, I HATE the new Mustang tail lights.
Sub Zero is an amazing beast of a ride for sure and I would have a difficult time parting with it...for pretty much anything! However, being a content creator, I can see your dilemma about getting the S650 for fresher content. The S650 ECU being locked is a bummer, but I imagine within a year Ford will unlock it...hopefully. I would personally still keep Sub Zero as I am not at all liking the new front, rear and the haphazardly placed dash tvs.
If I were to get a mustang, it'd be that one! You've convinced me.
I’m curious what the mpg is like at that power range. Another good video.
Probably around 10-12 mpg
I want that 750🤛🏻
I’m a Chevy guy at heart actually a Pontiac guy but they’re gone but I do love the Mustang GT. There’s a lady that lives on my street that has a black out Mustang GT and I just drool every time it comes by. She has it lowered and an exhaust mod and it sounds wonderful and it’s beautiful all blacked out
David David oh David how I’ve missed your vlogs love your content keep it up

"American magazine" it's called now
For maf wash maybe a throttle body spacer will help. I added one to mine and it stopped throwing check engine codes
Love the video man! Where did you get the inboard dash from? 9:23
I will never get rid of my S550, ever.. I am planning on doing what you did.. I'll take the 650 wheel, I want to stay as stock as possible..
As your daily driver David what's the gas milage after all the mods?
I would without a doubt keep your car over purchasing a s 650 in my mind the s640 is enough of an upgrade considering the look and performance of your current upgrades on the s550. I know that chasing more subs on you tube may be your decision maker. But I would keep what you have
Been trying to own a 5.0 for 12yrs now. Here’s to achieving my dream next year. I’ve been getting doubtful 🙁
Great video. Been saving for over a year to get a mustang. Either a 21 mach 1 like you tested or a Gt PP1 Premium. It will be a "daily". Any suggestion?
Yooo your FB is hacked hacked!
Really Nice car, next vid can you discuss prices. THX
It’s a keeper , enjoy it !
Love all your cars man ! I have to ask a question that is quite often asked…. Did you do oil pump gears and crank sprocket (billet) ?
He said in the video it was all stock, so ...
Ngl 15-17 Mustang GT Premium is my attainable dream car saving up for one soon and get it supercharged
I have an 2019 S550, same specs as yours, but with an ESS G2 supercharger currently making 680whp and I would never trade it for a S650. The S650 does have their potential points but I find the S550 much more appealing and visually attractive. Also as you mentioned, the s550 is such a trustworthy car that is hard to let go when it has been so good to you.
So you think the s650 would be less reliable? Besides the looks which are subjective the rest of the car should be as reliable or more so possibly
@@mogulme6190 I am not comparing their reliability. I am saying that when a car is good to you in terms of reliability you don’t wanna let it go just like that. I can have 1 s550 that has been good to me and you give me the option to trade it for another s550 same year and all and I wouldn’t do it. Because I already know my project and its current tune.
Having seen the s650 in person, I feel like it's at least as good looking as the s550. Both look great in their own way. The s650 is far more muscular looking, whereas the s550 is more elegant looking.
Keep it going. Its great as is.... Totally agree about the s650 for me, the Darkhorse is the only reason I would trade and upgrade.
Dark horse is a piece of shit lol. A loaded GT is 20k less and just as fast
@@carguy0389- Last month, I loaded a 2024 GT with the exact same options that the DH that I found had. GT was $63,050 MSRP. The DH was $68,020 MSRP. Math is your friend.
@@bobbybarnes1652 boo hoo?
@carguy0389 Are you crying because your math skills suck?
I still have a 2015 3.7L cyclone mustang vert 🌀 I havent upgraded yet but I dont think im going to. Currently has Intake , catback and tune, im planning on putting 3.73s in it soon and ported Intake manifolds. The car itself is hard to beat for the money 💰 also the engine will last 300k+ miles.
Save your money and just buy a S197.
I had a 2012 3.7 and the 373 differential made it feel like I gained a 100 HP. Best mod I did on that car…
That’s what I need❤
10:39 My 2020 Ecoboost premium is not that way at all and never has been... It has had other issues like a making massive chunk when shifting into reverse and not liking to shift at 3k RPM... how ever as of this year both of those have been fixed via over the air updates so likely it's simnuylar to a S660 now just with the old parts.
I was just looking at the older vids because I was thinking of getting another mustang.
What would you want for it seems like it’s a good car and fun looks like you have fun with it
only the darkhorse if upgrading a gt is just a gt you deserve something special
I bought an '18 GT350 (J3216) new in December '18 and sold it February '22 with a hair over 24k miles, all perfectly trouble-free. Got the itch for another fun car this year and snagged a new '23 Miata. Whole new class of fun. I still miss the GT350 sometimes, but wouldn't give up my Miata to get it back.
I'd keep the S550 if I were you. Let the market shake out the S650 a little longer, then reevaluate. Sub Zero has been good to you.
Miatas are tempting, I have a 18 350 with 19k on it same thing no issues.
I wanted to go with my mustang, but my insurance was 350 a month. I'm 18 now btw. The one i had was a 2006 v6, but i sold it, made a profit, then went with a c5 corvette. Total powerhouse, and my insurance went down to 85 a month. I love mustangs, but cost for power and fuel economy won me over with the vette
I think you did your mods quite well. I've currently got a 19 GT Premium California Special. All the options except for magride and performance pack. But I've got aftermarket struts and springs and a JLT intake with an SCT 93 tune. Definitely would like to go Odin one day but we'll see. I've had it for over 3 years and I don't plan to get rid of the car(just got it 5 year ceramic coated).
I had totally forgotten about the passenger digital dashboards. Do they still make them? I'm having a hard time finding it anywhere!
Been watching since Smurf and my 13 gt were new!
You made me want a 10spd mustang and I'm not even into v8's or american cars - not one bit
Dont get rid of it fr its earned its place
My dream car 😅
I just bought a 2022 rapid red 10 speed gt premium. All the boxes were checked, pp1, active exhaust, 401a, magride, B AND O stereo. Planning to build a 700whp handling car.
Do the GT350 brake kit.
@@mickeymang6 im doing mmr's gt350 carbon ceramic brakes probably.
@@mickeymang6 apex wheels 19x11 +26 fronts and 19x11 + 52 rears.
Awesome, I got the same exact 2022 car, the same color except the magnetic ride control. I love this car, and I plan on keeping it forever. Im getting a cai, ebiach pro springs, and an h pipe installed next month. Super pumped!
@@jeffkelly9197 i have full steeda magneride suspension, LTH, double h pipe, and opg and cs
Just imagine a ThatDudeinBlue museum. Keeping it and adding more to it are elements of car culture that’s been permanently imbedded into your blood.
So lucky in the UK 95 to 99 from the pump
Im planning to get a used s550 performance pack 10 speed next year i have no plan to get a s650 because a base model will get me a performance pack s550.
Is there a direct replacement for the MT82?
Hows fuel economy on road trips and will this run a high 9 at the strip?
I think it'd a gorgeous car, I actually prefer it's look over the newer gen and with 750whp what more could you really ask for 🤷 you're eating mostly anything that rolls up next to you. Whether it's a modded car or a super car
And Imagine, you were going to get a Toyota Supra or this Mustang.........glad you went for the Mustang.
Love my 2020 GT in Oxford White. Not much I would trade it for.
KEEP THIS!!!!!
That 10 speed is like a cheat code
Michigan here.. I build and mod gaming pc's.. my 21gt is my mod car project. I agree on your thoughts on the s650 not being ready to buy if one likes to mod for performance. The locked ecu to me is like buying a prebuilt gaming pc that has a proprietary motherboard. You can do only so much but are locked out of really making the prebuilt system what you want. Ford dropped the ball on performance modders by locking them out / or into only using authorized tuners. Maybe in 25/26 they will offer unlocked an unlocked ecu. If not then long live the s550 modding community.
That doesn't even make sense. Why would Ford leave one year (24) locked, but allow 25+ to be tuned? Lol.
Cant beat Mustang GT 5.0Ls. Amazing vehicles! Owned 2. My favorite sports cars.
Not sports car
Keep it bro, never sell it unless someone offers some crazy money for it that you can’t turn down.
i live about 1 hr away from the national speed shop u went to. I wonder if i buy my own paxon super charger and have them instill will i get the same numbers ?
I was looking at potentially selling my 21 sti for a 24 gt, but I’m thinking I’m just gonna pay on the sti a couple more years and then buy a mustang so I have both.
I’m genuinely wondering this but how are you able to enjoy your other cars when this is your daily?
Can we get any updates on Alejandra’s Miata?
Are you going add Shelby gt500 to channel 2020 ?
I thought my mustang was fast until i got a zl1 1le. Maybe ill see you at VIR one day ;)
The alpha platform Camaro's are better than S550/S650. There is more communication and control. But for long cruises, Mustang's are comfier... but then again, the fuel tank size and range sucks in 5.0 or higher.
It's awesome 😎
I say drop it off at rtr, get an oil pump gear, fun-haver angle kit, hydro, and a tr6060 swap 🤙
I’m also thinking of adding boost to my 10 speed but not sure what brand to go with and also is the micky Thompson or Michelin pilot sport 4s good on handling 700+ hp? Or do I need drag radials
I have a similar setup and I use Continentals Extreme Contact Sport 2 and they handle amazing. I was running the half mile on them last weekend and had 0 issues. Made 157mph on the 1/2. For circuit/track then Continentals Extreme Contact Force for more grip.
where did you get the inboard dash?
I know many will disagree, but the biggest thing I like about the S550 over the S650 is the interior. I like the retro classic design of the double hump dash. The new one looks too much like a BMW interior. Not that there’s anything wrong with BMW, I love BMW. But when I’m in a Mustang, the S550 interior just looks more Mustang.
Stick with Sub Zero. I like that you have a full interior Mustang.
I have a ?? For you is there any problems with a pro-charger , I see you videos just asking I have mach1
I would love to have sub zero myself. Miss my mustang.
Those wheels would look good in gloss black or bronze
What naturally aspirated mods are worth doing for an S550-II? I’m seeing on the forums that the stock intake manifold and air box can’t be significantly improved with aftermarket options. Just add a drop-in air filter, flash a 93 tune, and send it. Seems like any N.A. gains come from the 93 tune, not the intake mods. Curious ya’lls thoughts.
I installed a Roush cold air intake, 85mm throttle body, 91 tune, x pipe and roush mufflers and it was a huge power improvement. I mean easy 50-60 HP. Feels like a different car from stock. Just the CAI and tune made a huge difference. Plus the Roush cold air intake looks OEM.
Intake gains are all at the top end, but there is a reason they slap the GT350 intake on every special edition before the dark horse
@@deanhawk7260nice! Any drivability issues with the larger throttle body?
@@RCXDerpgood point
It can absolutely be improved upon. You want max power na ported cobra jet intake, mono throttle body, cams and headers plus full free flowing exhaust and e85. That is by far the best setup it will be the fastest and make the most power. It will be ALOT faster than a typical bolt on car. Peak to peak numbers alone don't tell the full story.
Man it’s been years since I heard vloggity vlog
I regret trading my 2011 in for my 2021. Not because it wasn't smart, just because now I have a payment again 🤣
Miata and integra update soon?
The only thing worth trading for would be a GT350, but only if you want to do more road course track time. For the street, a blown Coyote car is hard to beat.
Keep!…. Done 😊
Y not go fuel tech or mo tech , haltec , Holly, hp tuners , ect ? I never got y ppl were so sketched on standalone special if it's a PNP setup then u can do any and everything you want and if you are a programmer get a open source ecu and you can write your own coding 😅... I know I make it sound way way way simpler than it is and my daily is on standalone 😅 ... but I figure I ask being you are talking about tuning and upgrading further ? Like is it a warranty issue or something like that or a car value problem like I'm genuinely curious as to why ppl don't just for standalone I mean besides the prices cuz some can be spicy pricy lol but they are worth it imo as to what you can do ... n e ways I stop rambling my brotha .. peace and love bro keep it rad stay safe and build on l8z
