What did you do to your S550 Mustang today?!

[Thesauerchise]

One final nice day, took it out and drove hard. Winter storage is next.

My new cueball auto shifter from AmericanMuscle came today. The manual shift trim (to make it look more like a stick shift since I hate the non-illuminated display) is still on backorder but I couldn't wait to install the shifter. I am very happy with it. It is not until you remove the stock one that you realize how cheaply made it is.

On the website and in videos it says 1/2 hour to an hour install. It took about 8 minutes.

Dropped it off at the winter storage facility. They sell, store and detail. Having them wash it before putting it away. A picture from the parking lot.

Very nice. You did good. May I suggest McGard black lug nuts. They would make a nice inexpensive mod.

Got them on today. Looks great. Thanks for the idea.

Those DO look good! They'd look really good on the black Bullitt wheels too, might need to look into them.
I don't know what new lug nuts run for, but a set of 20 is $180, I wouldn't call that inexpensive, or are they all that pricey? @cactus_kid

I got my McGards from here : McGard 64074 Black (M14 x 1.5... https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00DIX0ZSS?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

Hopefully that will link you back to the USA advert

Exactly right. The EcoBoost is surprisingly quick. I don't have to go 10 seconds on the drag strip, 12's is plenty quick enough.
And on the road course I had no problem hanging with the GT and my friend's GT350 in the turns. Was quicker than my friend's GT coming out of the turn onto the straight - he had to give me a point by every session.

Comments like that make as much sense as saying, "You take a GT to the track? Should have a GT500 to do that"

I don’t consider a eco boost a race car. It’s what your grandpa gets caus he likes the looks but not the speed. I don’t know where you get that it’s fast. They try racing me every now and then but I totally beat them bad… and not by a car or 2. I wouldn’t consider it a race tbh.

How about we let people enjoy their Mustangs without hating on the displacement of their engine? Surely there's a reason they chose that.

Good grief I can totally see why the Mustang has "douchebag" implications/insinuations in some people's minds.

I swapped out my SVE wheels for my stock wheels for the winter. The problem is, I put my stock center caps on the SVE wheels. I'm looking for a cheap set of center caps that will fit the stock wheels. Does anyone know exactly what size caps I need? I see some cheap options on eBay, but I don't know what size I need.

But how can you really enjoy your car without shitting on other people? /s

That was pretty harsh. You do know what people say about Dodge Caravans? I'm not telling because I am not one of those people to say bad things about a car based on cylinders. Heck, you must not know what the Corvette, Hell Cat, you name it drivers say about our Mustangs.

One more.. door protectors from the big "A" (Garage Wall Protector). It's solid, thick foam and sticks to the wall like "you will never get it off again". Plus last WE my GF opened the passenger door of my former Stang while on the phone, and bang, into the wall the door went.. I was like "huh" ? She didn't even care or notice. Hence the protectors, first thing I ordered that day.

I have something similar, although thinner.

Drove it.
