What did you do to your S550 Mustang today?!

[Bit_the_Bullitt]

yeah was eyeballing a Charger yesterday (that probably deserves it's own gag video) but not sure I can live with driving an auto. It's a damn shame that car doesn't come with Stick.

I traded '18 Accord 2.0t with a 6spd for my Bullitt. That car was peppy and made me hp-hungry, hence getting the Bullitt. Had the Charger come with a stick, I would have been presented with a very difficult choice as 4 doors is lot more practical (despite the Mustang being surprisingly usable as a daily).

I agree, I rarely see any, especially not S550's. It's so weird, since in most other states they're all over the place.

As far as engine bay mods, I installed a BBK 73mm throttle body and PCV hose catch can on my convertible today.

Up front, I put in Raxiom LED halo style foglamps which are wired up to operate from an OEM premium headlight switch.

Noice! So we get a video of cold start, idle and some revving now?

Received my "manual" style shifter bezel and boot today so I was able to complete my project of making my auto look more stickish. I had already switched out the shift knob itself with one from American Muscle but had to wait for the bezel/boot to arrive.

Would you mind giving the part(s) number(s) for the bezel/boot ?

Thanks,
Yves.

Got so tired of the brake dust. This is only 2 weeks of driving with OEM pads.

UPDATE:
Here is how the front wheels look after 3 weeks on the Powerstop Z23 pads, and with NO cleaning:

And again, after quick cleaning:

Much happier!

The GT350 version does not say "Sync" on it, but runs ~50% more.

CAUTION: Pulling your old one out can crack the bezel if the clips hold as strong as mine did. Use the new boot as a guide to locate the clips and then perhaps try a pry tool to get them to release one by one (hopefully/maybe).

I always use some dedicated plastic tools to do so, by doing it by hand you can tear off everything because we have to pull out so hard !

My chrome plastic on the steering wheel was chipping. So I found these alcantara inserts on amazon. I don't know how durable they are but an easy install and they look good now.

Hows the stopping power compare with the Powerstop Z23 pads?

I can't tell any useful difference between the Z and the Ferodo DS2500. On the street.
