020 | This 2005 Mustang Might Be the Best First Car (And It Started a 1,000 HP Problem)

This episode of Cool Cars with Chris is all about the 2005 Ford Mustang, first cars, and the modern Mustang horsepower arms race. I talk about buying a 2005 Mustang V6 S197 as a first car for my teen driver, what it’s like putting a new driver into an older muscle car, and how that led me down a rabbit hole of Dark Horse Mustang, Mustang GTD, EcoBoost vs 5.0 GT, and even 1,000 hp Mustang builds. We also get into taking the kids to Monster Jam, loud monster trucks, car culture, and real-world driving with a V6 Mustang in 2025. If you’re searching for Mustang podcast, car podcast, first car advice, pony car comparison, or just love Ford Mustang S197 content, this episode is for you. I just bought my 16-year-old a 2005 Ford Mustang V6 as his first car… and it accidentally sent me down a 1,000 horsepower Mustang rabbit hole. In this episode of Cool Cars with Chris, I’m hanging out with my buddy Courage talking about first cars, retro Mustangs, Monster Jam, and how a simple V6 S197 turned into me obsessing over Dark Horse Mustangs, Mustang GTD, and 1,000 hp builds. I break down why I think the 2005–2009 Mustang (S197) might be one of the best first cars for a teen driver today, what it’s like putting my kid in a 20-year-old Mustang, and how it actually feels on the freeway compared to modern cars. We also get into California teen driver rules, permits, and what it’s like getting real seat time in your “forever remembered” first car. From there, we zoom out to the bigger Mustang world: • EcoBoost vs 5.0 GT vs Dark Horse – which one actually makes sense for real people? • Why the Mustang GTD exists, what it’s trying to be, and how it stacks up against Porsche money • A wild 985 whp supercharged Mustang build we saw online and whether 1,000 hp is just dyno/Instagram flex or something you can actually use on the street We also talk about taking my kids to Monster Jam, how insanely loud modern monster trucks are even from the nosebleeds, the chaos of stadium parking, and realizing you’ve officially become the “leave early to beat traffic” adult. If you’re into Mustangs, pony cars, first car nostalgia, or you’re a parent trying to pick a fun but reasonable first car for your kid, this episode is for you.
