Before and after dyno numbers. So much controversy and one more data point is always a good thing. Of course videos to hear it as well. Preferably a before and after.

Great advice from all. I do genuinely think I would be happy with either one. I have driven far nicer cars and still always felt very positive about the S197s. I thought my old fox 5.0 convertible was a blast, and have sat in and driven many base S197s before. There is nothing about them that...

This is largely what I am feeling. Looking for any good points I could have overlooked, and it is a win win. Both are great.

That is true that a lot of the reviews have been very positive of the ride of the new S550. I have driven a lot of cars over the years (was a Valet in Southern California for 6 years), and I can say I love the way the S197 drives. The only complaint I have is that it is actually too refined...

How does the potential dwarf it? You can't just say something with no evidence. There are plenty of extremely competent S197s out there and a vast aftermarket in place. I happen to like the look of the S197 as well. I like the S550 better but I don't know if I like it $15000 more. Gonna...

I have been waiting several years, saving with my eye on whatever spectacular thing Ford would surely do with the 50th anniversary Mustang. I am plenty pleased with the look of the car, and very happy with the interior. I was initially excited when I heard they were putting most of the...

Who has ideas about how to track a car crossing the Pacific to Hawaii? COTUSB shows 25 transit days estimated for the first car (dealer stock, not my order) that I checked. From what I can tell California cars were given a 10-11ish day estimate, so maybe its estimating about 2 weeks on the...

Just curious to see if my chance anyone else drops by here. I've got a build date of 10/20 for my GT at Cutter Ford. Wonder how long it will take it to get here on the boat

From some research on other threads about tuners it seems the best for specifically auto transmissions are VMP, Lund/lethal performance, and C&L. Of those C&L is the only one to do free updates it seems. Second tier of good-great are Bama and Steeda, both of which offer free updates. I had...

They don't show on mine either, but they should be on there.

Will be interesting. I'd love it if you could flash a tune to one of the toggled drive modes. Leave one of the stock driving modes as one setting, and then have two different other tunes set for the other toggle settings.

Had a build week of 10/26 a few days ago. Bumped up to 10/20 when I checked today. Order placed 6/10 (would have been a few weeks earlier if not for the lazy dealership). What I wonder is how long it will take to get all the way out to Hawaii... I have no idea when it will get here.

Not to much to really stretch the legs but I'm in the military and only here another year and change. This is my car for a LONG time time. Also, I like a powerful car because it can effortlessly do what decent cars do. It's about a fun grunt to the speed limit even. In answer to the previous...

So do you foresee any issue if I get catbacks now and add long tubes and x-pipe later? Sounds like the most sensible idea to me.

Well I'm only in hawaii for another year. I'm in the military so I will be moving all over. I'm not concerned about emissions, I'm saying that ford might have been concerned with it as well as noise because of the international markets and that's why people are gaining so much in just exhaust...

So it looks like my auto premium GT with 3.55s has a build week of 10/26 and it will take some time for it to make it to Hawaii, but I wanted to get an idea of where to look for my first cheap and effective mods. I have heard great things have been done with a tune for the auto trans and 5.0...

Wait maybe I am missing something. My summary on COTUS got a VIN a few weeks back. I was under the impression it would also be updated with a build date. Did yours ever get a build date, or did it just one day enter "In Production?" This has given me (perhaps false) hope that I won't get...

Ooh I want to see deep impact blue with white stripes, please

I think you are confusing handling ability with handling feel or the nimble feeling. The current Mustang pulled the same skidpad numbers per Car and Driver (Just did a quick cursory check on multiple models and options on their website, Mustang was quite comparable, and several times better...

I see. Thanks!
