Potential New S550 Owner

[Coolmanfoo]

So far lebanon ford has been very fair, its looking to end up at 41-42k OTD including added warranty on the whipple for a 2018 base gt with the whipple supercharger.

Wow that is an amazing deal. Wish you all the best! If it happens we would love to see some photos. I bet that thing is a beast

It should be happening, pickup is may 11th for the gt and I have to bring it back around early-mid june for the supercharger package since its on backorder.

I think it's a bit rude to come here and expect everyone to just vomit all their knowledge and experiences at you. Especially when you're not even asking anything in specific.

I think it would be a lot better if you just took your time and read a lot here, you'll find all the info you're looking for,

It's really difficult to see someone embarrass themselves in such a public forum as you have. Isn't this the place to ask questions and learn things ?
I hope that he doesn't think that everyone on here is a big a jerk as you are.

Hi everyone, I was recently rear ended and my car was deemed a total loss. I am looking at a 2019 mustang gt fastback 6-speed. I am interested to hear the opinions of owners, should I buy this car or should I look for something else? Hit me with the good, the bad and everything in between that a new owner might need to know.

I have a Ruby Red 2018 GT Premium 5.0L that I ordered last April and took delivery about 6 weeks later. I have the 10 speed auto; mainly
because of the level of traffic where I live. I can tell you that the 10 speed is lightning fast. I can shift a stick. The 10 speed was just a better choice for
me and my location; its a great option. The car handles very well. Sticks curves like it's glued to the road. Instant power when you mash the skinny pedal.
It also gets 25 mpg running on the open highway; same mpg as my 2017 Ford Escape 1.5L turbo. Not bad for 460 horses. I didn't opt for the LED instrument
panel. I like analog. Besides when you scroll thru the information display you get a ton of info. Bottom line it's an awesome ride. Very well built. Couldn't do better.
On behalf of everyone on the forum I apologize for the way that NoVa treated you.

I read for awhile, and then admittedly skimmed a good bit here - but I think I can echo the general things I've seen.

Has your situation changed any? Do you still like the idea of a two car? Did you have any issues with convience, not having a larger vehicle that you want to change? Do you want perhaps a smaller vehicle even? Do you feel like you would be happy with another Mustang, or do you want to try something new?

FWIW - I just took delivery of mine, first Mustang I've owned. My previous experience is with a friends 05, and after this past weekend of great weather and etc, I'm still 100% happy with my 19. Wife and I even had a successful Sams Club run, and I was pleasantly surprised with the amount that fit in the trunk. I'm very happy with it - I'm still getting used to the feeling as it doesn't feel as nimble to me as my Tiburon does, but it feels great. Still has an edge, and I think over time I'll get a better feeling of it and it's dimensions as it feels a lot bigger than my Tiburon yet isn't that much bigger. The tech is overwhelming almost - though I've figured most of it out now, I still probably have things I won't find for awhile yet. Or just need to refine to 'how I like it'. I can't get over the sound, It just blows things I've driven out of the water, even in quiet mode, it just sounds great. I got in the Tiburon today to come to work and immediately regretted not just driving the Mustang in. Hope to put it up today on Facebook Marketplace, and hopefully it'll find a new home. Still like the Tiburon, but I've just upgraded in several ways.

It's still exactly what I am looking for in a daily though. Catch my drift?

This is a follow up on a previous post where someone said that it handled well in the winter, I was blown away with how good this rear-wheel-drive handled. I have Michelin X ice winter tires and they're phenomenal along with the traction control. I have a ton of fun in the winter and I can pull away from cars that have front wheel drive at a stoplight.

I have a 2015 that I've had for 3 years so I can't speak to the newer versions. But this thing is scary fast, and just a butt load of fun to drive. The sound is phenomenal, although I put Roush axle backs on it because I thought they sounded the most of what I was looking for.

The first one I test drove was an automatic and it was fun. But then I drove the six-speed, OMG that's the kind of car you have to have a stick in in my opinion. I know there's a lot of Pros for the A10 I haven't driven that yet so I don't know what I'm going to do on my next Mustang when that time comes. I'm at 88000 miles on buying right now, and it runs fantastic.

Cons:
The car before that was a Chevy Avalanche, and obviously the Mustang is not as comfortable. But I'll take a little bit of uncomfortable for the amount of fun it is out on the road. Took a road trip last year 2400 miles in 11 days. It was a blast, I really wouldn't want the truck back even though it was more comfortable.

I've driven with for adults in the car but it's not very comfortable in the backseat but it's doable on a short trip downtown or something. Maybe a charger would be a lot of fun and have more room, but I never drove one.

I guess it all depends on what you're looking for, I would do a test drive and see what you think, I think the Mustang is an awesome car and I'm already thinking about which one I might buy next.

Welcome to the forums and possibly welcome to the Mustang world. I'm pretty excited to have a 2015 50th Anniversary after having owned a 65 back in high school.

I was absolutely torn between the performance of the automatic and the control of the manual myself. I ended up with the manual because I just couldn't give it up, although I think the auto would probably have been the easier choice in Chicago traffic. Now I just need nice weather this weekend for the road trip to Ohio to pick it up!

Saturday I will be joining the mustang world! Hopefully the weather cooperates for the road trip to pick it up. I also went with the manual because I couldn't live without it, even though test driving the A10 really surprised me with how awesome the car drove.

That's why I got the 10 speed. I live in the Columbus, OH. metro area. Lots of stop and go.
Enjoy your new ride !!

His handle is perfectly chosen though "givemeadollar". Since you don't list where your from I won't put in any effort to locate a deal near you. Just go here- https://www.lebanonford.com/new/Ford/2018-Ford-Mustang-52e5e7a80a0e0ae83cb3a9e8f2fe130d.htm

I have the same car you're getting. Be prepared to get used to trying to tame the LFP 800 for city driving with a manual. The throttle response is so instant, it takes a lot of finesse not to buck through town, jerking around. I tend to upshift and lug the motor at low rpm to remedy this. Have them throw the Steeda x-pipe on at Lebanon unless you like to do your own wrenching. Removes some weight and gets rid of the "tinny" sound in the exhaust. Congrats on the purchase. Also, check your hood and trunk lid alignment when you pick it up. My gaps were all off and required paint touch up.

OP, don't sweat NoVaGT. Some of us are on other forums and forget decorum changes on different sites. He's probably more "familiar" with terms like 87, beans or no beans, 9 vs 45, fruit baskets, nut coal, blading at 45 degrees and some other stuff. I'm sure he didn't mean any harm.

 

[99Zeus99]

Haven't set one yet, haven't been to the track yet. Had to break it in, then winter came. It's only been out of the garage in 2019 three times. It has seen 140 mph a few times though.
