Which Mustang is Best Mustang?

Regular Car Reviews asks Mustang owners at a car show one simple question: why is your Mustang the best Mustang? The answers range from a bowl of oranges balanced on an intake to an actual P-51 fighter plane crashing the party, with a scene-stealing Thunderbird cameo along the way. Watch to see which answer the comments still can’t stop quoting.

There’s no dyno in this video, no 0-60 time, and no argument about horsepower figures — and that’s exactly the point. Regular Car Reviews built a cult following by asking car owners a question serious automotive journalism would never bother with, then filming their answers with a straight face. At a Mustang show, that question becomes an open invitation for chaos: everyone’s car is somehow the best Mustang, and the reasons range from genuinely thoughtful to absurd enough that even the comment section couldn’t stop repeating them months later.

The Premise: A Question With No Wrong Answer

Regular Car Reviews built its channel around a simple, almost anti-journalistic format: instead of measuring a car’s merits against spec sheets or competitor comparisons, the host simply asks owners why their car is the best example of whatever it happens to be. At a Mustang meet, that question turns into a running gag as much as a genuine survey, with each owner given free rein to justify their car however they see fit. Some lean into genuine engineering points about their specific generation or trim, while others go for pure comedy, and the format works precisely because it never punishes either approach.

The Oranges-on-the-Intake Answer That Stuck With Viewers

One of the moments viewers kept referencing long after the video went up involved an owner who’d decorated an intake setup with a handful of oranges, prompting a comment from the audience calling it “local produce” straight out of the video’s own dialogue. It’s a small, almost throwaway visual gag, but it’s exactly the kind of detail that separates a Regular Car Reviews video from a standard car show recap: nobody at a typical automotive outlet would think to film a bowl of citrus balanced on an engine bay, let alone treat it as a legitimate argument for automotive supremacy.

When a P-51 Crashes the Mustang Party

Ford named the Mustang after the P-51 fighter plane back in the 1960s, and at least one owner at this show decided to make that connection literal, arguing their car deserved the “best Mustang” title because it was, in fact, an actual P-51D — not a Ford at all. It’s the kind of technically-correct-but-completely-missing-the-point answer that Regular Car Reviews thrives on, and it produced one of the most quoted lines in the comment section, with viewers still repeating the joke well after the video’s original release. The gag works because it takes the premise of the video completely seriously while ignoring its spirit entirely.

The Thunderbird That Stole the Ending

Buried near the close of the video is a cameo that several viewers singled out as their favorite part: a Thunderbird Turbo Coupe, a car that technically has nothing to do with the Mustang lineup at all but showed up at the meet regardless. Commenters specifically called out the T-Bird’s styling, with more than one viewer admitting it was their favorite vehicle in the entire video despite identifying as dedicated Mustang owners themselves. It’s a reminder that Ford’s turbocharged Fox-body Thunderbird, often overshadowed by its Mustang cousin from the same era, still has enough presence to upstage an event built specifically to celebrate the pony car it wasn’t invited to.

The Running V6 Debate

Even inside a crowd of self-selected enthusiasts, the video surfaces one of the Mustang world’s more persistent arguments: whether a V6-powered car deserves a seat at the table alongside V8 GTs and performance variants. At least one commenter directly questioned a V6 owner’s legitimacy in the comments, a debate that mirrors a decades-long tension in Mustang culture between buyers who wanted the styling and badge versus buyers chasing outright performance. Regular Car Reviews doesn’t resolve the argument, and it doesn’t need to — the format is built to surface exactly this kind of friction and let the audience keep arguing about it in the comments long after the video ends.

Why Car Show Videos Became a Fan-Favorite Format

Regular Car Reviews built its early reputation on single-car reviews delivered with a distinct, sarcastic voice, but its car show coverage has become just as popular with the audience, based on the volume of comments specifically requesting more of it. Viewers in the comments explicitly praised the “car show videos” format as consistently hilarious and asked for more of them, a strong signal that the channel’s crowd-interview approach resonates as much as its structured reviews. Part of the appeal is unpredictability: a scripted review can be planned in advance, but a car show only works if the owners in attendance bring something worth filming, and this crowd clearly delivered.

The Joke That Never Gets Old

Longtime viewers of the channel know to watch for a specific commenter, and this video’s comment section shows them showing up right on cue, with other viewers noting they expected to see that name by now. It’s a small piece of community culture that’s built up around the channel over years of car show coverage, where certain jokes and running bits have become as much a part of the experience as the cars themselves. That kind of built-in audience participation is part of why a video with no dyno numbers and no 0-60 times can still generate an argument that outlives the video itself.

What This Format Says About Mustang Culture

Strip away the comedy and the video still says something true about Mustang ownership: it’s a hobby built as much around identity and personal attachment as it is around raw performance numbers. A GT owner, a V6 owner, a Thunderbird owner who wandered into the wrong show, and a guy who brought an actual fighter plane replica all get the same three seconds of camera time and the same open-ended question, and the answers reveal more about why people buy these cars than any spec sheet could. That’s ultimately why Regular Car Reviews’ odd little format keeps working video after video — it treats car ownership as a personality trait worth documenting, not just a set of numbers to rank.
