Nice looking car! But mustang, it is not. Just my 2 cents.

 

I quite like it

 

Is it just me or do S550s sit higher in the front than they do the rear?

 

You know, I just test drove one tonight, and I think you might be right. Driving it was awkward to me. It had a very high cowl.

 

To me it looks like they removed the rake that gave the Mustang it's characteristic stance. I always like setups that retain a little bit of rake, even when lowered.

 

I like the matte/satin black appearance, but it seems such a shame to do that to a brand new car.

But it is a head turner, especially with the black wheels...those look great with the contrasting silver rivets/lugs/caps, and the red calipers are just enough color.

I wonder how that would sell if Ford offered a paint with that patina. It'd be a helluva lot easier to maintain I would think.

 

I think it might be smart. It has the added benefit of protecting the paint. In 3-4 years when it's getting a bit ratty, peel it off and there's brand new paint underneath.

 

Is it.... "Yummalicious!"?

 

lol hahahaha no, not to me.
I do think it's purty an all, but to me it still doesn't call out "buy me, buy me". Sitting beside my current ride, i'd pick mine every time. I do truly admire it's singular beauty and uniqueness tho.

 

Nice collection of cars there.

 

New battery installed, took it out of the garage for a few minutes.
Installed the GF's stock front wheels/tires on the front, moved the 285's to the rear (taking off the drag radials), and took it for a brief drive up the street










Oh, and warmed up the rear tires a bit too

 

Glad to see you got the new house man and you have the garage that you wanted.

 

Yuk.

 

Thanks buddy!

 

Still working on mods...

 

That 15 looks incredible...

 

I'd take your car over that '15 any day!! I'm with you. I like the 2015....but I don't love it. I just doesn't resonate with me like the did when it came out S197.

 

the same goes for your shelby too

 

Ask a Harley owner who thought the Denim paint would be awsome how great it is.

 

Spot on. Satin/matte requires real skill to keep it looking correct. Ask BMW owners who order the "frozen" option. I have heard similar stories.

Looks great when it is new though.
