I honestly don't think it will be a refresh that big. The 1999 although it had the same interior, all of the outside panels were new except the roof. Also, by the 1999 refresh, the SN95 was 5 years old. The S550 is only 3 years old. My take is that the refresh is going to be more like the '12 to...
I'd love if they go the route in design like the gray Stang with blue stripes.
First wish, lose 250-300lbs
2nd, front-end to distance itself from other Fords
3rd, keep the 5.0 with at least 460 hp and 440+ of torque
4th, the tach/speed fonts more retro similar to the S197.
5th, switch base...
Good points,
This is why I went with the 2010 as my first Mustang because I wanted to have the experience of the raw, unrefined best live-axle around muscle car. I also wanted to own the 4.6L so I can actually have an opinion when comparing it with the 5.0 when I switch cars. I'm very happy...
Now that the Camaro been on sale for around a year and it's well behind the Mustang in sales, Ford is in no rush to make significant changes to the 2018 Mustang. I think in 2018, Ford will introduce the 10 speed auto, maybe a modest increase in horsepower, light cosmetic changes and a specialty...
Hey guys,
I've been watching a lot of videos of Mustang crashes lately and what I notice is that the majority of S197s and Fox bodies crash because they lose control at launch (mostly cars and coffee) whereas the S550s crash because of reckless driving. Now, I know the S550 hasn't been on sale...
I was also going to say American Factory Wheel. I heard that Bumper Doc is good. I actually take mine to TJ for body repairs. My rear bumper was repainted entirely. The paint was fading because of sunburn and I paid $150.
It's pretty common. Last week I was at the dealer doing maintenance on my Stang and wondered around the S550s, every single one of them had alignment issues. A Cali special had a bog gap between the bumper and the headlight housing. Another a big gap on the hood at the driver's side. Another the...
In SoCal there's a dealer called Ken Grody Ford which has dealers in Carlsbad (San Diego North County) and Buena Park, Orange County (between SD and LA). It doesn't say in which dealer the vehicle is located. They have a GT350R for $131,000.
Update: Checked again 15 minutes later and it now...
Well, the car is gone. It wasn't for me I guess. Hopefully I keep my S197 until the 2018 mustang is released, but I don't know if can hold on that long. Once I'm ready, I am going for the RR, GT, premium, PP, premier.
I just saw Ford's website and the 0% apr for 60 is gone. Here's what I'm going to do. If the 0% for 60 or 72 months appears in June and the car still seating at the dealer, I'm pulling the trigger. I always liked gunmetal rims more than black, so I might paint the luster nickel rims in gunmetal...
:thumbsup:Wow!! A lot of replies. Thanks guys.
This is why I hate going to the dealership for service or parts. I get lured into the S550. I have ignored the salesman's calls yesterday and today because I wanted to consult with this forum and let the excitement cool down, so I can think...
Hey guys,
I'm in a little dilema. My original plan is to keep my S197 until the summer of 2017 when the so-called facelift Mustang is due to arrive. I love my current Mustang, it's a joy to drive, I love the exhaust sound and still a head turner, BUT pretty soon it will need new tires (around...
