What did you do to your S550 Mustang today?!

[altjx]

Sold it.

Thanks to everyone here over the last year and a half or so, it was a lot of fun and interesting reading!

Nice man. Is the vette your daily driver? Looks gorgeous btw! I contemplated on getting one but a little too expensive for a DD for me. Considering getting one in a few years, however, while keeping the stang.

Yeah, my slush fund is taking a beating addle: You know what they say, we can't take it with us The hard part was I had most of these parts before my car came in on 10/7. Wanted to put a 1000 miles on her before I put the supercharger on.

I installed some Roush axle back mufflers. They sound good.

Installed my WORK CR2P wheels. Here is a cool picture showing the gorgeous wheel. Be sure to click the link to see the high res picture so you can see the details.

Car is filthy, it was raining and the tires were not scrubbed. They have that film on them as you can see in the picture.

Put gas in the car for the first time in 9 weeks, damn this thing gets good mileage sitting in a body shop :lol:

I think I will tackle something big today, like my GO BABY GO starter button

[MENTION=11520]Blitz[/MENTION] helped me again yesterday by installing my barton short throw shifter.

I can't even tell you how much of an improvement this fine piece of craftsmanship is over the stock shifter. Where before I would always feel notches all over the shift gate anywhere between 1-6 there is now just smoothness. Each gear engages with a nice firm click. The shifter is A LOT firmer than the stock and there is absolutely no play while the car is in neutral. After install yesterday I did actually miss 5th gear a couple times while driving very hard but i believe that is because it is still so new and the springs that hold it side to side are still so new and therefore very stiff still. I can't say how hard/ easy the install is because Tony did the whole thing for me because he is the man!!

nice! that's the expensive one!

Thanks you, Yes... it's pretty much fully loaded and has the Z07 package.

Nice man. Is the vette your daily driver? Looks gorgeous btw! I contemplated on getting one but a little too expensive for a DD for me. Considering getting one in a few years, however, while keeping the stang.

Thank you. Well, for right now it is my daily, but that is a bit of a problem with any weather as the Sport Cup 2 tires are basically street slicks. We have rain today and tomorrow in the immediate forecast, so I'm using the wife's Jeep if I need to go anywhere..

My S550 was my daily driver, but I commute 150 miles round trip daily and with the PerfPack I was getting a best of 18.3 MPG. This combined with many small problems with the car and quality of the body fitment made me start to dislike the car, even more every time I washed it. The dealerships were no help and said it was within spec and couldn't be improved. :(

In September I ordered the Z06 and pre-traded/sold my 2014 Z51 C7 to the dealership. The plan was to then get something that was still fun to replace the S550 as a commuter that would be smaller, turn well, get good mileage and "not boring". So I've been looking.

I've also been watching, and the used values have been dropping quite a bit lately. The used market seems to be softening and the auction data shows it, so I wanted to get rid of the Mustang before it takes anymore hit on the book price.

Maybe in a couple years I will get another one, but I will make sure to closely check all the body gaps and not assume they can be adjusted. :headbonk:

Looks awesome!

How did you get the pony and ring on the steering wheel off to paint them?
