I think most people would be hard pressed to tell an S550 from an S650 when looking from the side, and I haven't heard much negative about that, mostly the front and rear, from an exterior perspective. I don't like the dash, and while I don't think it looks great, I mostly don't like it from a...

I bought one, and I liked all of the changes, but I remember a lot of people really hating on the front end, and that dominated a lot of the discussion. Much like when people hate on the front end of the S650.

Maybe not the original release (I didn't really look into it at the time), but the '18 refresh got a lot of hate.

Yeah, I'm not a fan of the deeply in-cut rear, and I do see the similarity to the Honda Accord, but that doesn't mean it can't look good, and I do think the S650 is much more aggressive. But as always, looks are subjective.

The front end of the S650 is growing on me, and like most cars these days it seems, it looks better in person than in photos. I have read and heard that the S650 drives better than the S550, and overall seems to be a better-built car, but the interior, while maybe using higher quality...

Thanks to @Mach 307 I found and ordered the blue one in his post, but it had black seats, not red (which made me happy). It's fairly small, but looks pretty good. It's a PP2, and I only have a PP1, but it's pretty close and looks good.

Interesting information about the transmission tune. I have a long, open onramp on my way to work that I can often accelerate hard as I'm heading up to the highway, and prior to the FP package being installed, the 4-5 shift would be so hard most of the time that I would be afraid that something...

I liked the blue color on that one listed, and was curious about where it came from, and if it was available in red, and I found both on ebay. Here's a link to the red one: 1:34 Ford Mustang GT 2018 Model Car Diecast Toy Vehicle Kid Gift Collection Red | eBay

Sorry, it's not always clear what all the settings are for different modes. The two drive modes I use are just normal, with the shifter set to D and the switch set to normal, and Sport +, which is the shifter set to S, and the switch set to Sport +. Maybe that's not the only combination for...

In traffic, I use normal, as it's just a little more mellow when hitting the gas or braking, and without traffic I prefer Sport +. I've got the auto, and have the Ford Racing tune, and I find it to be very responsive in that mode, and easy to drive on curvy roads, etc. I never use Sport, and...

I swear, I don't work for Motormax or Fairfield Collectables, I just get things like this coming up in my Facebook feed, and posting here if anyone is interested...

Like with anything else, it's all personal preference, but regarding the subject of this thread, the focus is on performance and sales, and while Mustangs offer good performance, once you get above $100K, there are some other performance cars to consider that may offer more, and I think that's...

I see the announcements and reviews of new performance cars, like the Dark Horse SC and the 'Vette's, and I have to admit that it gets me thinking about what it would be like to drive one of those. But then I get in my '18 and go for a spin and I am reminded how much fun it is, and as been...

I own the original Motormax version of this, and I assume it's the same but with some kind of new coating, but since I don't own it this isn't a recommendation, just letting everyone know about it in case you're interested (there may be other sources too, I haven't looked)...

Like you I had the full package put on my '18 GT with PP1, and I can't say whether the throttle body and intake alone made much of a difference, but I definitely noticed more low-end torque, and the transmission tune makes a big difference as well.
