hi all, i'm a loooong time lurker (2+ years) reading about the S550 before buying my 1st (t-boned and totaled 6 weeks after purchase) and 2nd Mustangs. this is my first post of my '19, 6-speed manual, Kona Blue GT PP, 401A. it's stock height with aftermarket color matched spoiler (Foose) and aftermarket wheels are TSW Geneva. i have a staggered setup with front 20 x 9.5 (+35) on Michelin Pilot Sport 275/35/20 and rears on 20 x 11 (+50) also on Michelin Pilot Sport 295/35/20. 6500 miles later, i'm still as thrilled driving this car (or more so hearing the sound of the engine) as the day i purchased it. :)
That is an impressive first post - worth the long wait :clap:

Have you noticed the Photograph of the Month thread? One of those photos would look good there: https://www.mustang6g.com/forums/th...h-january-check-post-1-for-guidelines.115174/

Beautiful car. I have a Kona Blue GT sitting in Flat Rock awaiting transport at the moment. Pictures like those make the wait harder.

Here's our 2019 GT Premium, PP1, 6 speed. I put on 20" all season tires for the cold sunny days. They're on Carroll Shelby CS-14 wheels which I think they give it a nice alternative look. Stock wheels & tires will go back on for the warm months. Ceramic coated it, put MBRP Street Catback on, painted the calipers with G2, tinted the windows at 35%, LED marker lights. Other than that, its stock

Just 100 miles on this one: PP1, 6-spd. Really liking the active exhaust and Magneride.

That’s a nice photo. Love the location.

I have just noticed your signature. It must have ‘hurt’ to buy a Mustang after your faithfulness to GM products, but agree the latest Camaros are not a good look.

There is a lot of that happening in Australia where the Holden Commodore (Chev SS) production has ended, meaning no more dealer V8 options for GM fans. Traditionally you ‘have’ to be either a Ford person or Holden (GM). The brand rivalry here is greater than even in the USA.

Nice shot! Mine is the same as yours except for the active exhaust (I put on MBRP Street catback immediatley) and Magnaride. I wondered if that was worth the $1695. As good as it feels & handles without it, I'm not sure wonder how much different it is with it

Magneride makes a difference in just cruising around, the ride is smoother than my Honda CR-V until I go around a corner and it tightens up. Worth $1695? I think so but if you are ok with a slightly stiffer ride (all the time) then maybe not.

We live in a retirement community so the active exhaust is nice to quietly leave, when I get to the gate I crank it up to sport mode. ;)
