I'm 24 asking myself the same questions lol. However I know I want the v8. Just have to figure out how to avoid getting too many tickets. Don't get tempted to race people, especially knowing you'll probably win!
So as ugly as the radiator overflow tank up front is, does anyone recognize this:
(A 2011 5.0 engine bay)
They still have the same tank in the same spot, they just paint the top of it / use black plastic on top so it doesn't look so offensive. I imagine on the production models of the s550...
Lowering springs surely could do the same thing for the "look" but having adjustable is superior so you can tune that sweet spot of looking good, not hitting speed-bumps, and still handling well. Admittedly I've never owned adjustable coilovers, but many of my friends have and they never needed...
I would be getting a 2014 if it weren't for the new 2015 s550 platform. I bet many here are in this boat actually. People on this forum don't represent the general public though...
I want a lower ride height, and moreover, an adjustable ride hight. I don't expect much of performance increase, but there will probably at least be a little.
So, how do these signals manage to show braking and turning? If you were braking and turning left, would the right side be solid and the left sequential?
Are you sure regarding intake and exhaust? Like is it explicit in the warranty, or just most dealers will look the other way?
Personally if I get a 2015, it will be:
Coil-overs
FRPP Short Shifter
Axle-Back Exhaust
Intake
Tune
Wheels / Tires, Supercharger later on potentially...
Never had a black car or equally dark and don't want one because all the work keeping it clean. Do you guys think Guard is dark enough to show dust the day after you wax it like a black car would? I can't tell, because silver colors are great for hiding dust, but in some of the pictures the...
A Nismo 370z would certainly out-handle a s197 5.0, but they have a lot less power. The 370z nismo is lighter, has bigger tires, better brakes, and a better suspension than the s197 did. It should be really interesting to see a comparison of the handling of the new and improved s550 vs. the s197.
Thanks 1FatSlag! Does anyone have any ideas whether such paint combos will be available on the s550? One thing I hope for is more legit stripes than on the current 13/14 GT mustangs. The 13/14 GTs have options for a hood stripe, but they really don't look that good. I think this was done to...
So the current mustang 5.0 has both a "Track Pack" as well as a "Brembo Brakes" option. The s550 will already have impressive 15" rotors in the front with the Perf. Package, will there also be a Brembo option on top of that?
Purely subjective opinions. Personally, I think the s550 looks worlds better than any Camaro made since the 60's. Also I like that the hood drops at the very front. Shows that beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
[ADMIN UPDATE]:
This thread will be where ALL photoshop requests should be posted.
Can someone talented in PS put out some renders of the S550 with stripes? I would like to see:
Race Red w/ White Stripes
Race Red w/ Black Stripes
Comp Orange w/ Black Stripes
Yellow w/ Black Stripes
Blue...
