Throttle House S650 review- first 30 seconds nailed it

[UpACurb]

2024 Ford Mustang GT Review // $50,000 V8 Champion - YouTube

Im laughing so dang hard at first 30-45 seconds......

They basically called it the same car as before but with much worse steering and a messed up interior .....they say they video gamified the Mustang

They literally said the steering was so bad they had 0 confidence in the new car through the corners

Weird... Steeda's review was the exact opposite

Weird... Steeda's review was the exact opposite

From Road and Track

"A numb front end with next to zero steering feel doesn’t help things, and occasionally creates a sketchy ice-skatey vibe because you don’t know how much grip is available."

I am thinking some of the reviews are just kissing Ford you know where vs. giving honest evaluation.....

Pretty much what everyone figured it’d be. I’m sure it appeals to some people but I don’t really care for the updates. Feels like they tried to make it more like a 2 series BMW but didn’t do it as nicely.

It really is more “video gamey” and gimmicky, but not necessarily in a good way. I prefer the 2018+ models and I say that as a 26 yr old who loves playing video games.

Yeah the opening was hilarious. On the steering thing I think that has always been a Mustang criticism to some degree. I think they have touched on many things we as enthusiasts are struggling to like about the car too. And they nailed it when they said its basically the same car it was before.

I will say after having driven the Mach 1 around a lot, you definitely notice what Thomas talks about in the video with feeling the front end tires... I didn't realize it as much when i first got it but after having taken it through twisty backroads in the mountains a lot, it's definitely my biggest complaint with Mustangs as well and I don't even do track days. If it's even worse in the S650, then yikes.

Really makes you appreciate cars like the GR86 that are more simple/analog more, doesn't it?

I always try and listen to Evan Smith's review. REVEVAN via youtube. He is honest and goes back to foxbody days, Editor MM&FF mag and Raceway Park NJ.. Diehard STANG fan, who is actually a very cool dude. met him numerous times at Englishtown with his Freehold FOxbody Stang back in the day.. A true Gentleman....... Also Jim "Campy" Campisano..., Another great guy!!!!!

We must be the outliers in our age group (I’m 28) and I don’t like this new iPad video game trend.

Same as the 2015-2023 cars. 0 steering feel due to EPAS.

ETA; Actually, it looks like they've made it even worse!!!!

I did not think that was possible.

Raties ride really touched on the fact, the GT would be a ton better with an Tremec and why Ford hasn't dropped it in the GT's. I'm wondering what's the purpose of the dual intakes if the S650 GT's are making the same HP as the S550 Bullitt.

 

[KingKona]

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!!!!

The good folks at M7G must be going apoplectic!!!

Also, FWIW, that's a 300A/301A interior. Note the two separate screens.

You know part of the appeal to the 2024 Mustang is the engineers said they improved the steering, which is my biggest pet-peeve with this car. Coming out of an E92 M3, which was the last hydraulic steering BMW, this is huge. To hear that its no better than the outgoing S550 is going to be an obstacle for me to move forward with an S650. The S550's GT350 and GT500 supposedly corrected a lot of the issues with the steering, so what gives? When are the reviews of the DH coming out?

I agree, I'm huge fan of steering. Almost pulled the trigger on an Alpine white E92 M3 but read the horror stories with rod bearings and went and bought a mustang. I do like the steering on the Camaro 1LE over the Mustang.
