A professional car buyer put the 2026 Mustang GT and the 2026 Charger SIXPACK Scat Pack back to back and called the result “Not Even Close.” The Dodge has more power, all-wheel drive, and a legendary badge on the fender — and it still lost on the criteria buyers actually care about. That badge turns out to be part of the problem.
The Straight Pipes usually runs on the chemistry between hosts Jakub and Yuri, so swapping in Yuri’s actual father for a review of the 2026 Ford Mustang GT FX Package was never going to go unnoticed — especially once half the footage started looking like a home movie shot in 1986. Between the deliberate VHS aesthetic and a genuinely compelling case for naturally aspirated V8 power, this review turns a routine road test into something stranger and more memorable. What made the channel risk its own format for one video?
Go Auto’s chapter-by-chapter walkaround of the 2026 Ford Mustang GT spends nearly twelve minutes covering everything from the trunk to the exhaust note, highlighting a digital ‘My Mustang Menu’ that lets owners customize their driving display. The review keeps the V8 engine as the car’s emotional centerpiece even as Ford adds more tech-driven personalization features. Commenters flagged smaller changes too, including a wireless charger removed for the 2025 model year and the continued absence of power-folding side mirrors. It’s a detailed look at how Ford balances muscle car identity with modern cabin expectations.
