I can't wait test drive one of each

 

Oh, the irony.

 

 

My mouth is zipped lol ^^

 

Why's that?

 

you hadn't heard about the flat plane crank?? that was the first thing I heard about it, but since you didn't know yet and if you haven't listened to the GT350 sound clips yet you should go look those up right now. that flat plane crank sounds amazing

 

If you add the plate and the cap what does that equal? I would be a little confused if I didn't know the history but I still like the idea.

 

Plate and the cap? I'm missing something? I don't get it.

 

If you add 50 (50 year anniversary on the faux cap) to the 1964 on the licence plate it brings you to last year 2014.
Ford ignored basic addition in favour of marketing I guess.

Loving the competition orange S550 though....looks good in that colour.
It looked good on the SN95 as well.

 

Id rather pay 30k and be able to fix and mod/upgrade with my own abilities than pay 50-80k and have to take it to the stealership/roadside-shop just for an oil change or fluid flush. I remeber one time my college buddy (rich family, was studying to be a general surgeon) took his c-class (2011 model i believe) to the dealership to take care of his check engine light. They charged 300 bucks just to figure out what code was being thrown and diagnose it, another 100 to replace his belt, 150 to flush and refill all his fluids (even the windshield fluid, the ******* windshield washer fluid) and 200 to change his oil and refill with full synthetic. Oh, and 100 to replace his cabin and air filters. (That part didnt seem as bad but still a little steep) and two weeks later his light came back on.
When i got a check engine light i used my tuner (back when i had my 02) i read the code, looked it up online and found my o2 sensors were going bad. Got new sensors online and decided to do a full flush as well. Took less time and only had to spend about 100-150 bucks total. Oh and i went ahead and installed my CAI and throttle body at the same time. Try doing that with a "premium" brand automobile. Id much rather get my own hands dirty every several or so thousand miles and buy a few beers than pay someone to do it for me and have my bank account drained with no beer/food/gas money left over

 

Lol... Wow I'm dense . How did I not get that. So then, the plate should be 1965DNA.

 

It is the whole 1964 1/2 mid year introduction that allows ford to count this as it 50th model year.

 

Technically there are no 1964 model year Mustangs; all the 64 1/2 ones are really 65's...

 

 

Yea something like that :-)

 

Good review and comparison!

Other than him not realizing that there's been plenty of 40k+ priced Mustangs the past few years. They didn't suddenly jack the price up for the S550.

 

This is a great picture.

 

Not by their prior badging it doesn't.
There was a 1999 25th special edition.

The 2004 mustangs had 40th ann. fender emblems plus there was a special 40th model in a metallic burgundy with gold stripes.

The 2009 mustangs had 45th ann. emblems on their fenders.

So, following that the 2014 was the 50th.
I don't care whatsoever and am not hating on it just pointing out this was about marketing for the new S550.
It really doesn't matter a whole lot in the whole scheme of things if they wanted to do that for a new revamped model they could market globally.
It makes sense from a marketing standpoint and if it helps sales it's all good.


Saw a 2015 Yellow GT on the highway today and he was really motoring when he got some open stretches. Funny though there was a Hyundai Elantra just busting his *** trying to keep up with the mustang. I think the stang driver would slow down on purpose to let him think he had some hope and then pull away just to kill that dream. lol

 

Typo, the 25th was 89. Or the 35th was 99 lol.
