1989 Mustang American Iron Race Car - One Take 

+Todd Honczarenko That car is amazing, it sounds beastly!

+Todd Honczarenko Yay I love it when the car's owners post in the comments! Nice car.

+Todd Honczarenko What does this feel like in the corners? I have the same transmission as well. How does the griggs racing suspension work on the street as I am interested in one. I have alot of questions........ What kind of tire do you run on it?

+Thomas Jeffereson I have a modified TKOII which has a different input shaft that's 28 spline to fit the Mustang clutch. I love this transmission! When I put the Griggs stuff in, I ran 350# springs up front (coil over) and had rear control arms with spring perches with 400# springs. Now I have rear cool overs with 300# springs (really stiff because I like a little oversteer) and 500# springs up front. For the street the 350# springs were great and if go with 200# or 225# rears. I also run Griggs custom valved Koni Yellows (double adjustable) struts and shocks. It's amazing how the car transforms into a precise cornering machine after the upgrade. It is easier to drive in the rain and it stops better too. I did the brakes first and then the suspension. Then I finally added power after the other stuff was done.

+Thomas Jeffereson I wrote more stuff but my phone crashed. Basically any tire that is decent will be great on the Griggs setup. I run the delrin bushings on the front control arms and the rear was a combo of a heim joint and a urethane bushing when it was on the street. Now it's an aluminum control arm with heim joints at both ends. I can't remember if I wrote that it was much improved in the rain and my car stops much better with the suspension. It totally gets rid of the squirrelly rear end and vague front end of the OEM stuff.

+Christian Augustin I've been super stoked on this thing. Best in-car lav I've ever used.

+Matt Farah What is it exactly?

+Mike Foxtrot This one: www.amazon.com/Audio-Technica-ATR-3350-Omnidirectional-Condenser-Microphone/dp/B002HJ9PTO

Bad Drivers of Columbus, Georgia Thanks!

+Mike Foxtrot Certainly!

+RamblinAround this mic is so killer. Go watch the three-wheeler video, that was the most impressive noise reduction I've ever seen from a $30 mic.

+Niels Heusinkveld LOL! I have the brake pedal very closely feeling like my Mustang brake pedal and helps me practice for the real world. That's one of my favorite things about the pedals, is that they are so adjustable!

+Niels Heusinkveld It even surprised me, Niels. To see your sticker there. I was about to send you a tweet or something until I saw your comment. "Er gaat niets boven Groningen"... "Nothing beats Groningen", cause us Groningers have a hand in many things across the world. :p

who needs coffee when you have this

That's not a coffee. A Suzuki Cappuccino is a real car lol.

+David Peck lol at his reply ^

***** oh believe me, I've lived here 23 of my 30 years and I hate the laws here.. You'd think LA would be even worse about smog laws than the rural area north of Sacramento that I live in but it seems LA is more relaxed on their smog than us.. how stupid is that.

***** it exists, except it's not an island.. it's called Germany

***** okay... considering Germany is pretty much like Washington State "Germany has a temperate climate throughout the country with warm summers and cold winters, however long periods of frost or snow are rare. Rain falls throughout the year. The average monthly January daytime temperature is 3 degrees celcius (38 degrees Fahrenheit) and in July it's 22 degrees celcius (72 degrees Fahrenheit). Extremes temperatures sometimes reach -10 degrees celcius (5 Fahrenheit) in winter and 35 degrees celcius (95 Fahrenheit) in the summer months." The thing is the higher in altitude you go the colder it will be obviously.. The big plus side to Germany is the roads.. But then Austria and Swizterland have amazing roads too.

+Charles Flaherty He probably didn't want to risk getting the police called on him while driving someone else's car, let alone in a streetlegal Mustang race car. Whether it was legal to pass there or not, you know how some people are. I don't blame him.

+Charles Flaherty From the looks I don't think it was fast enough lol

+Bigboomer what is aggressive on passing a slower car on the passing zone ?

+Bigboomer ah Okey. Thanks for explanation. Seems the US law is setted up more aggressive then in EU.

TheCobruhAlienat0r I so wanted him to feed the car that Subie. Then the Civic. WE'RE GOING FOR SUSHI

+Uncle Du Persian actually.

***** Persian isn't a religion.

***** Jew is a race, Judaism is a religion. Matt is Persian and, AFAIK, atheist.

+Richard Harrold You're misinformed, bud. Besides, I was referring to Matt's religion.

***** Matt's made no public indication of any religious belief. His surname is Iranian.

+Aybars Gungor Based on the Jersey "QQ" plates it's registered as a classic car (over 25 years old) so it's open season to do whatever he wants to it.

yeayea i know firing orders and all but still

+RB26 likeaboss have a listen to an AMG hammer car.

+BCH37501 It really does. For how loud it is in there it's amazing we can hear him at all!

Hopefully by the end of the year. Very long process.

+TheSmokingTire That should be a beast when its done, what made you do the swap instead of buying something like a dbs?

+Joe Cribben I don't like the DBS. Looks too "tuner-y" with that body kit and won't age well. The Vanquish is timeless.

+TheSmokingTire Fair enough, Is it common for people to swap transmissions in these cars? It would be great to put a manual in a 599.

Awesome to hear, thanks Matt!

+Jake Chapin I do lots of other content! We have 8 episodes of /DRIVE on NBC Sports, (available on iTunes and Google Play), we have a full 10-episode season of /TUNED airing right now on /DRIVE+, we have All Cars Go to Heaven 2 coming out this fall, and we have a podcast every week, as well as part 2 of Rally North America coming up. Tons of stuff going on that's more produced. We just do a lot of one takes, because they are quick and easy, and youtube isn't like TV; it' pays very little and only by volume, not by quality.

Also, many of us enjoy watching Matt try new builds and give us ideas for our own projects!

+Roninwarrior7 I imagine he's just calling all his one-takes while he's "back home" either Greenwich or CT, even if they're not actually in Greenwich (which this one certainly isn't, 128 is a NY road)
