Talking My new Mustang

I traded in my 2015 Ecoboost on a 2010 GT convertible. I really missed my old one. It has 24,000 miles, a engine dress up kit, tune, high lift cam, x-pipes, performance exhaust. It has a different bumper and grill but I am not sure what kind (looks like boss 302).

Looks and sounds sweet! I bet you are tickled with that car 'swap'. How did you do at that car show?

I need to sand out the center of the wheels and paint them black like this.

That is really, really nice. Congrats.

Question on the interior though....your entire seat inserts are red. I almost bought this 2010 GT in 2013 with the 401A red interior and it had a center stripe. Are your seats after market, or was there a mid-year change to the interior options?

Good choice getting rid of the Ecobust Fustang. This car looks and sounds like real Muscle.

Ford is certainly aiming for a much wider demographic and market with the S550. I think it's shameful what Ford has done.

The Ecoboost was a good car. I just missed the sound of the V8 and the wind blowing in my hair even if it is not the 5.0. But my new 2010 sounds boss!

Hmmmm. Fatter, heavier, and ugly as sin. IMO just the wrong direction. I hate to say it but GM did it right. Lighter, same body lines, and more power. Ford went on the opposite direction. Shaking my head.

Well, since you put it that way, yeah. I agree. The S550 is hard on the eyes to look at. Looks like a euro sports car but not as nice looking and that freaking rear end. Oh, good lord it makes my eyes bleed from ugly! The worst part is because I have a 3.7 I'm always looking at that horrid rear end. Ha ha ha.

I must say Ford did a nice job on the interior and the leather seats. Perhaps the next generation mustang in 2025, Ford can nail the design and bring back muscle to the pony. The 2016 Camaro sales should be higher than the 2016 Mustang sales. Time will tell! I just wish Ford would fix that rear end.

In my personal opinion the true mustang experience involves a v8.
