Matt has lost a lot of weight and has a much different face.

That's the route I went. 2018 Mustang base GT with performance pack one.

I think Ford hit it out of the park with the 2018s.

Just drove one last weekend.... they nailed it, and they are almost hitting 500whp with full exhaust, cai and a tune, how insane!!!

I think the owner of the car is super afraid of heights, and or hasn't really driven his car in a canyon setting.. lol

Never been a mustang fan until I drove one of these last week. The brakes are insane and it just kept on giving grip! Definitely have more respect for them now

Zack it's Zack here, I wish you gents would do more of a quick walk around of the cars!

Just got this same exact car with 3700 miles for 29k, love it! So much car for the money

Zack you interrupted him for the tunnel, which stopped what he was about to say about people buying the base with 3.55 gearing, only for you to interrupt the exhaust yourself with a imitation vocal burble lmao

Holy shit I haven't watched one of these videos since Matt Farrah was still doing um.😲

Zack dropping wisdom. Totally agreed. Modifying just to modify is done too often. Your brain will get used to whatever you throw at it. Do something to challenge yourself and keep yourself interested, it may be track days, it may be long road trips, it may be detailing a car to perfection - but the answer almost always is not throwing more money at it.

I like Zack's one takes, Different but he's a good people person and is improving with every video.. Great job Zack, thanks for the one takes!

still gotta change that intro Zack!

Thanks to Matt for so many awesome OneTakes. You are missed.

This is my car, if you guys have any questions dm me on ig (sunlessrx) it’s my business account but I will respond. First yes I tried to clean the car best I could and I try and limit drives with my pup. Zack was pushing the car and never made me feel uncomfortable but I was getting car sick, I’m pretty tall and the camera angle couldn’t get me with my seat at normal position so I adjusted it lower. Reason for the pp1 was basically to get the brembos at that’s it. The car is my daily and hopefully have some sort of forced induction on it. Driven in my buddies 6th gen Camaro and it’s a great car stock, the irs is way better and it feel more track oriented out of the box. I also have tended to like Chevy better when the new Camaro came out I was all over it, I hated the visibility. There seem just as fast factory. That being said I took him for a ride in my gt and he told me that he was getting butterflies because the power band is more mid- top range. Thanks again Zack and everyone for watching, -Anthony

You hit the nail on the head... 'back-in-the-day'... a stripper, base car didn't have radio, A/C, wheel covers (don't even think about "Mag wheels" or decent tires) - it was all about 'poverty' hub covers and cheapest, narrowest tires they could legally put on the road, clock - sometime, not even a heater or multi-speed windshield wipers! The S550 "Base" GT, with PP1-level package, may not have all the bells 'n whistles is no slouch! It comes "stock" with the widest tire and wheel package of all the models! You drive it out the door with a functional, top of the line V8 and strongest chassis, motor, suspension,performance gearing 3.73 had (putting in an option for 3.55's - would have been appreciated - great for top-end charge runs) the factory made... its equipped, functionally with the equivalent of a "Police Pursuit Package" included at a "bargain basement" price. ....Whats not to like? Anything you need to take off or toss, to make it a decent foundation for a track car... was never installed in the first place. To my way to thinking - its perfect: the best engine Ford made, the best Manual transmission that Ford was selling (regardless of what you think of the MT-*82...its still one hella big jump from the crappy SROD or even the first models of T-5 ford put in the early '80's mustangs, when the first revived the 5.0 HO). In '83, Ford sold a similar "GT" package "Stripper-base, TRX"; but it didn't have A/C, pwr windows or stereo on the old 5.0 HO. It was a good 300lb lighter than a full on "GT". It was a deadly Street, sleeper - ripped a new one on any Camaro which faced it... that was why GM put the first 350's in - "It still didn't help"! The S197 was good, but the S550, "Base GT, PP1", was a home-run, from Day one!

I like Zacks one takes

That dude Anthony looks kinda scared

Perfect spec. I’d have crank windows and performance pack if I could.

My wife owns a 2017 Mustang ecoboost with intake,dp, exhuast and tune with the 6 speed and its badass!

PP1 is how Mustangs should come stock. Even the PP1 feels like boat floating above the ground. PP2 should be a PP1.

It was Matt's personality and almost childlike enthusiasm for the subject that made One Take a must watch for me. Big mistake guys.

The noise this thing makes is awesome. Best sounding muscle/pony car for sure.

I like the power added of the 2018s, but looks wise I still think my 2017 looks better. Of course that's subjective but I just don't like the front end sloped that hard on the newer cars

I have the exact car. 2018 the best !!!!

I love that Corsa exhaust, I have it on my '17 5.0

I know the 18s are faster (and of course this is me justifying my decision but I’m still very happy with my 2017 with the performance pack. Was always a GM guy but fell in love with the S550 platform.

I think Zack should have told this guy one more time that he has a base model GT...

I was looking at Mustangs last year and this is exactly how I would spec it. Non-premium GT w/ PP only. Well bought car!

get a Yaris as a daily driver. it will help you appreciate the mustang when you go back to it

Holy shit. I really dig your comment on how brains acclimate to stimulation and how there are other ways to activate your adrenal glands. It's one of the most insightful things I've seen in car journalism in a while. Especially in regards to tuner culture and how easy it is to constantly look for the next mod or part. Damn, so impressed right now.

That a Weiss watch Zack? Great job on the one takes btw. Keep it up!

Big fan of these longer one takes, especially for cars I'm considering buying

I love you Zack and thrilled you’re doing the one takes. These are a bit long, especially, for a tweaked version of a car that’s been out and done.

I turned my head rest around when racing. Problem solved😀

Zack has played alot of card games in his day. Mainly UNO! 😅 alright im done....lol

Matt makes this channel, we all miss him

This show was way more watchable when Matt was doing the one takes.

I can relate to the desire for the older Mustangs. My '93 LX has been completely modified, is lighter than current Mustangs, and still quick enough to get tickets. But, the seats are threadbare & the foam is flat. Interior panels are loose. 24 year-old tint is crispy. And the a/c hasn't worked in 9 years. The "dream car" project has become the "preservation" project. What to do? Sink another $10k into it, or get a modern muscle car? If I could, I would keep the '93 & get the 2018 Mustang PPL2, and call it even. 25 years later, Ford finally put a package together that is more than what I've done to my car. Hmmmm, some day when I grow up, I'm gonna have all the toys I ever wanted...

The owners face as he hung in 2nd for WAY to long earlier in the video is exactly what my expression would be of if someone else for some reason drove my car.

Stoked to see more of these one takes, Zack.

Love my 2018...hate my transmission. Have out at 7,500 miles 🤷🏼‍♂️ Yeah the car was Headers/Tune, but no excuse for ford to go with a cast aluminum shift fork and have it break so soon.

Base model 18 with a 6 speed trans and performance pack 1. Prolly paid between 35-36k before taxes and fees.

Good car. Think you are doing a great job with the one takes

Love this car.

Can we have this guy just talk about the car he's driving Please? I don't see the need to discuss other cars more than once or shout out other companies that have nothing to do with the poor guys near stock 5.0

The exhaust plays such beautiful music!!! But does it have a “Will not piss the neighborhood off” Mode?

lol this guy now feels super insecure about not buying the premium GT... SAVAGE

That's a solid performance pack.

Our 2018 GT Convertible rental had the Premium but not the Performance Pack. I would have preferred it the other way around. Good tyres instead of a bad, large screen infotainment system. The All-Seasons did surprisingly well. But since in our 4700 miles we mostly went for the twisty route, grippier tyres would have been nice given all that weight.

For the money I'd rather have the Terminator. I just don't like the way the new Mustang looks. I can't deny it's a better driving car than the Terminator though.

Would love to see a one take of the new 2.5 turbo Mazda 6

Zack you're doing a great job. You keep getting better as you progress. I earlier posted then deleted that you needed more interaction with the other person but then at the end you started to talk to the person. Good job and I know you'll get better. Thank you for picking up where Matt left off. Keep at it, you're only going to get better.

damn matt started hittin that bowflex

Nice car, performance pack definitely the way to go.

"The Camaro drives better, so I would rather start with a Mustang and then make it drive like a Camaro." Really?

Pretty much the exact setup I want.

I like your thinking Zack!

Matt was on the joe rogan podcast and he said he's not going to do the One Take's anymore with other people's cars.

Tires really are Michelin PS4 and not PS4S?

Keep it up Zak! Too much negativity here in the comments. I enjoy these one takes.

Zack doing well with these!

Zack seems like a cool guy and I love these one takes... Though I really miss Matt Farah doing all of them. I love the camera angles and I totally understand some talking to explain the car, mods and whatnot, but man, Zack is a talking machine lol! I'm trying to hear the car and all I hear is endless talking. It seems like he sometimes forgets to go WOT because he's in such deep conversation. Again, he's very good and knows his cars, but I wish there was less talking is all.

Sweet! Now they gotta find someone with a 2018 mustang gt PP2 to review.

About to watch now. Feels weird not seeing Matt here

Nice stang. I get tempted by the new ones a couple times a year. Would love to see how an 18 vert compares to my 95.

these base gt's are a good deal, once they get above 45k its not worth it

Awesome review ! I have a base guard 2015 GT Performance pack with cloth recaros. Modified of course Ridetech coilovers 3pc forged wheels, dropped and lots of other suspension goodies and minor bolt ons (cai, tune and Corsa sport). I messaged Matt about driving it and my c4 ZR-1 just wish I was closer (Toronto Canada 🇨🇦) !!

You can tell how hard the turns are on the owner by how wide his mouth opens each time.

Waiting on that Tacoma. That will be an interesting vehicle i think.

I think you need an update to the title page. Give Zack the credit he deserves!

10:23 "Windows down definitely makes it sound a lot better than it does with the windows up". Well isn't that just the darndest thing

Great work Zack

I think I'd buy a 2016 gt350 with low miles

Someone get Zack some damned caffeine

Nice that it's manual...... proper performance car with someone that knows how to drive...

Where I'm from; if someone let's you overtake like that, you flash your hazards twice to say 'Thank You'. Just accelerating away feels a bit rude.

Cold tyres ?

How do I get my stage 2 Audi A3 8v 2.0T on here?

"One take by matt farah" *press x to doubt*

I know exactly what you mean about the simultaneously being big and small, I own a v6 and it feels only small buts it's the same size, and I drove the GT and it feels the same size but bigger haha. I assume it's the weight but I just thought it was cool that you feel the same way I did.

Where is the other guy that use to do the videos!!!!???????

Where’s Matt Farrah?

Only a mustang owner who lives on a canyon can understand what it means to feel small and big at the same time I used to feel like I could fit with other cars between parked cars until I hit off a neighbors mirror oops! Really learned the size then.

Did Matt get a make over??

Great video on a nice Mustang!

“ when I stop having fun “. Dude you’re going to want to go FBO in less than 2 months lol.

missed a couple apisodes, wheres matt??

Best way to build a mustang. Mine is a 2015 base gt with only intake exhaust and tune for power and full BMR and Eibach suspension with wider wheels and tires. Someone out there always has deeper pockets so why chase horsepower?

Which corsa exhaust is this?

@8:12 I thought that was Vaughn gittin’s ford truck on bags?

Example 2:53 . Here is a perfect example of what my qualms are with Zack as a host. He simply just rambles far too much and looses focus. He seemed to regain focus on the second half of the video and I hope he continues getting better but ideally I'd prefer Matt to come back.

did that car have magneride

Wheres Matt ???? Who is this dude ???

Can you put the base model PP1 in Sport or Track mode like the toggle switches or does it only have normal mode?

Anyone feel like he should have shifted more?

Fun haver is Vaughn Gittin jr even though they seem like the same guy. Lol

Where’s Matt?

Great video!

Hey it’s not Matt
