Gonna get a v6 this week, need some advice :)

[BmacIL]

If I were in your shoes:

Silver
Manual
051A
Spare Wheel/Tire
Spoiler Delete
3.55 Gears

I don't consider the sensors necessary with the camera.

This. My original order...

Why did you changed your order then?

It actually amazed me that so many people prefer silver to white although they didn't buy ingot silver lol, there is definitely magic

1. Silver looks good on the S550, but me personally I prefer white, with gloss black wheels, gloss black roof, gloss black emblems, dark window tint and tailight tint would look bad ass.. the whole storm trooper look.

2. No parking sensor.. the little camera is all you'll need unless you're mentally handicapped.


3. "manual or automatic (first vehicle in my life)" - Well this is really subjective. I got an auto for a variety of reasons..
1. They said it would be faster. 2. No manuals were available in the trim I wanted, would have to place a custom order and wait 8-12 weeks. 3. They said it would be more economical. 4. Remote start . 5. This is my DD, there are no backroads where I live, only city blocks and tons of traffic.

All that being said, I 100% regret getting an auto and wish I would of gotten a manual and am even considering trading down to a V6 with 3.55 gears just for that very reason Lol.. So if you love cars and you love the act of driving itself, a manual is much more entertaining and involving and once you get good at it, you'll enjoy it that much more.. rev matching, dumping the clutch, pulling up to a stop and revving it..

Plus manuals add 3 inches to your penis.. fact.



4. x-pipe or muffler delete, This I actually find to be a hard question. Normally I'd say muffler delete but I think it would be more beneficial in this instance to go X Pipe.. how that would affect the sound vs a muffler delete I'm not sure. I probably would do an X Pipe with some kind of muffler like a cheap Roush or something.. X Pipe + Muffler Delete might be a little much.

The sensor is more of a oh shit moment thing. Like you're on zero sleep and you go in reverse by accident or something the car will beep at you. Not really worth the money.

In my opinion the x-pipe opens up too much rasp. It's loud but I feel like it's a distorted sound in the higher RPM's. The muffler delete videos sound great throughout the powerband.

You're going to regret getting the V6 later. Just go the whole 9 yards and get the GT. You'll be happy that you did.

I don't think anyone would choose a V6 over a GT if a GT was a viable option...

1. Ingot Silver or Oxford White (side by side pics would be preferred)
Silver
2. rear parking sensor or no rear parking sensor
None
3. manual or automatic (first vehicle in my life)
Manual....my first car was manual if you don't learn early you never will. Sorry I see now you said you know so manual all the way.
4. x-pipe or muffler delete only
Um ...pick what you like the sound of.

Thanks ! I think your answer at least helped me decide to take a manual

I am paying for my own car while studying in a university so money would be an issue. Also, I think v6 is good enough in every way. Why would people agree that infiniti G37 is a sports car that has decent power and recognize a V6 mustang as something sluggish...

My financial situation got better. I could've afforded the GT before, but not as comfortably as I wanted. I still really like the V6 and think it's a great buy, particularly with the 3.55 axle and the manual.

Silver is my 2nd fav color to Guard. It shows off the lines extremely well and hides dirt. Not as plain as white. White w/o the premium rear valence looks a little "meh" to me.

The Factory order that i booked from the dealer got way too many interruptions and it seems that it had never been placed. The dealer just wanted me to get a ecoboost or GT ... So i changed to another dealer and gonna factory order now, but I still got a couple option to decide.

I have got a set of black wheels ready and will vinyl wrap the roofline and the rear view mirror as well, regardless of the color I choose. Gonna do a muffler delete anyways.

1. Ingot Silver or Oxford White (side by side pics would be preferred)
2. rear parking sensor or no rear parking sensor
3. manual or automatic (first vehicle in my life)
4. x-pipe or muffler delete only

All the helps are appreciated Thanks in advance

White, much nicer looking.
If you wanna save a few bucks do it here. I have it, but didnt ask for it. I dont mind it personally.
If its your first car and you cant drive stick ot dont want to learn then go auto.
Id say neither. Hpipe & axleback. Or catback with H pipe.

Here's my set up. I think it sounds better than any of the ecoboosts Ive heard but its all a matter of opinion.

Is it just me, or does a properly exhausted V6 have a little bit of exotic quality to it's tone? It reminds me a little bit of the opening sequence to the Cannonball Run with the LP5000 singing. Not the same, but there is something similar.

Absolutely. This sounds a lot like a BMW inline 6 when flying by the underpass (@ about 1:10 mark):

It definitely does when getting on it. I get that a lot. Very low and v8 like at idle and under 2k rpm though. As close as possible any way.

Take a look at the Oxford White thread in the pictures sub-forum and if that doesn't answer your question, nothing will. The S550 looks amazing in white.
