I agree with YT and my opinion:

The S550 has performance with solid suspension.nThe 5.2L FPC. It's the best Mustang overall.

The S650 has been a disaster with Ford guys like me.

My current car is a 2019 S550 GT350. The newer Ford cars suck when an older one is much faster.

Yet, Ford has lost $20 billion on their EV cars. Good luck with that.

This was the whole premise of my thread last week. People are waking up to the true value of the S550 platform. Buy them while you can folks. There are low mileage examples waiting to be taken home and loved.

Someone's been drinking again.
The opening line of "I agree with YouTube" posted ar 4:41 AM is wild. Especially without any sort of context.

The new mustang isn't bad or worse than the s550. It's that it isn't a value anymore
It looks dumb on the outside, and worse on the inside.
I saw one at my local dealer and immediately thought "No".
I looked inside and saw the dashboard, and it changed to "HELLL NO".

Even if it is faster than my GT-PP,
so are a lot of other things I'd never buy.

Missing the window sticker! Haha. But in all seriousness, this car is epic. Only Mustang I still lust for is a Terminator In Mystichrome…but interior quality keeps me from owning that hero car. My 350R checks every box…she’s with me for the long haul :)

That's subjective from person to person. I'm literally talking value in comparison to the s550

The way I look at it, value is subjective because to some of us the S650 has no value.
It's less repulsive than an SUV or F-150, and that's not a reason to own it.
If Ford offered it for free, I wouldn't be interested.

If my S550 was totaled I would absolutely not accept an S650 as a replacement.

The problem is that the S650 is just the S550 chassis for the most part. There's nothing impressive enough about the cabin or exterior to convince anyone to move from S550 - S650 unless they're going up the ladder from an ecoboost to a GT or from a GT to a Dark Horse or something similar.

They're just not getting the conversion of existing owners the way they did when they went from S197 to S550. It's an evolution, not a revolution.

I think some people in this thread aren't familiar with OP.

(also S650 is faster - it's a better car just with questionable looks for some and very questionable price - but at least it is continued to be made unlike the rest).
