I actually removed the foam in the tube and it sounds amazing. I like it very loud. One of the reasons I love American V8s!!

And I forgot to mention the '67 fastback is my old time favorite. One day I'll have the space and money to keep all four! :ford:

Nice Mustang history there. I like the 1990 5.0 as well as the 1994-95 GT. Go and drive the S550. Sure, as soon as you get back to your S197 you'll feel like "oh man, my ride looks and feels old" but after a few hours, you look at your ride in the driveway and fire-up that engine and hear that...

I still think if anyone hasn't owned a mustang, the S197 II is a must because it's the last breed of the live-axle and retro design mustang that feels and looks more American than European. Well, at least that's how I feel being accustomed to German ride quality and finish.

"Just got some bad news from my boss about a promotion of sorts I was counting on (due to someone else not retiring as expected)so it looks like my purchase won't happen until around this time next year."

Now that you can't afford the S550 for another year, do yourself a favor and get into an older mustang now. I got my 2010 GT about a year ago to quench my mustang thirst. I've have always wanted a Mustang but its interior quality kept me from pulling the trigger. I remember that I loved the 2005...

I think Ford will repeat the cycle they did on the second half of the S197 platform. The first half the S197 was essentially the same car from 2005 to 2009. The second half redesign only lasted 3 model years (10-12) followed by the short-lived cosmetic changes in 2013. With the exception of a...

I have sat on both and the premier has soft touch door panels, the leather feels better quality and the stitching on the dashboard is real I believe.

Financial mistake? The guy is willing to caugh up $35k! That's GT territory. Financial mistake would be to have buyer's remorse and lose a ton of money on a trade-in. As far as insurance go zillionaire, shop around. You said you got a quote, but not quotes. The mustang should be a fun car more...

Get the GT and save yourself the embarrassment of answering NO to everyone who ask you if it's the V8. I'm having the same issue with "is it the 5.0?" If you're willing to caugh up $35k do yourself a favor and get either a base GT/PP or GT premium no PP. I'd choose the former as the Mustang...

If the car gets a dent, put some windex on it.

I also vote to keep the '12 until 100K miles. I'm also intrigued by the '17-18 facelift, so I decided to keep my '10 until then. I only have 56,500 miles and I still enjoy the stock exhaust sound and live-axle....yes I still enjoy the live-axle. It's the best live-axle in the world. :headbang...

I thought it was a rear wiper blade on the S197 for a sec Congrats! I'm between the Mag/red interior or Race red/black interior. Love them both!

I also have 3.73 gears and it's my first stick shift. On a flat surface, I always start with 1st or if I slow to under 5 mph I downshift to 1st as well usually mountain type speed bumps. I start with 2nd if I'm on a downhill street or if I'm racing someone.

I was under the impression that as soon as an airbag deploys, hazard lights turn on and doors unlock. If they don't, you're still correct about not needing jaws of life to get you out.

Yep, I also feel safer leaving my house unlocked at night just in case of a fire or a burglar already inside. I can get out faster :rolleyes:

The reason this car is a niche market is because Ford makes it that way. It has nothing to do with deman after the hardcore fans get theirs wining down. Assuming you're not a hardcore fan and you go to the dealer in pursuit of a mustang GT and in the showroom they have the GT350 and you like it...

I'm pretty sure that most who can afford the GT/PP premium can afford the GT350. I assure you that there are many customers that can afford the GT350 but can't get their hands on one either because of availability or ADM. There's nothing wrong with wanting to be smart with your money. A local...

I'm not arguing about the price. The price is actually very reasonable for the amount of power it has. I'm arguing availability and production run. I'm saying why don't they manufacture the car a complete cycle like the regular mustang.

It pisses me of that Ford and the dealers treat this car as if it was the LaFerrari or the GT for that matter. It's a freaking Mustang and a GT350 not even a GT500 or a KR/super snake. Why can't they manufacture the GT350 for the entire run of the S550 platform? Have at least 80% of dealers one...
