I want to go back to a s197, anybody feel the same?

[King Jackmode]

I had an '09 and a '12. I'll stick with the s550.

Only thing i miss from my 2012 is the boost from its torque boosted Paxton 2200 sl!

I love the color of my Boss, love the retro look of the Boss and enjoy having a somewhat "raw" Sunday driver. It would take a special car for me to part with my Boss. Not a fan of Ford anymore, so probably my last Mustang.

I almost bought that same car in orange. Nice.

Nah...the 2nd and 4th generation Mustangs were the worst;

I had a 77 and 78 Cobra II. Say what you want I still have fond memories of those 2 black sheep. I've even been shopping the classic traders for one. Maybe I'll put another one in my stable.

When I bought my ruby in December this exact car was still on the showroom floor and I think it still is. No offense but it's kind of tough to sell a slower car for 7k more. I still wanted it for what it's worth, just couldn't justify it.

I kept my S197. It's now being turned into my track car.

This . . . and if you've got the mindset of a track rat the simplicity of a S197 becomes a strength.

There's a lot to like about the S550 (including the '18). But in a way, it's too bad there has to be so much more comfort, convenience, and tech content.

I kinda like those S197's.

This SN95 looks pretty damn good. And it still handles it's business without being the size of an aircraft carrier.

To me, it is how many Boss 302's do I see a day vs. how many 15, 16, 17 Mustangs do I see. Both are plenty fast, so I choose rare over maybe a tenth faster....

GHIG boss 302>S550. Shame it only came with an mt-82.

Yeah, the tranny is the one thing that will "allow" me to sell it one day. Have not done a single mod, think special editions should be left original, BUT, will probably do a new race spec shifter and clutch. Heard it makes a difference...

I wonder if anybody has Frankenstiened a s550 engine into a '05-09 s197?
Just curious.

I know it has been done to later S197 cars.
