If you've seen my other thread (Jumped Ship!), you know by now that I sold my sold to the devil and bought Charger Daytona 392. Even though it's an unnatural comparison, I thought I'd make a right up for anyone else who may be considering the same trade for the same reasons. First off, I've...

After owning 4 Mustangs over 25 years, I just jumped ship to Dodge! Traded the Mustang GT-PP on a 17 Charger Daytona Scatpack last night. Apparently the Daytona package is new for 17 and it makes the Scatpack much closer to the SRT trim; wheels, tires, brakes, from the Hellcat/SRT, aftermarket...

It's blasphemy I know, but I'm considering trading my Mustang. It's only consideration at this stage and I may still decide to keep it, but we'll see. I have only 11K miles on my 15 GT-PP, don't owe much on it and could use something larger. Not to mention, I have the dreaded brake squeal and...

Just thought I would share my opinions on my new Michelin Pilot Super Sports. I've had the tires installed for about 3 weeks now and we haven't had any rain during that time, so unfortunately I don't have any feedback on the wet performance which is one of the main reasons I chose these tires...

Dammit! Took delivery in Feb of 15, and still have only 9K miles. Managed to avoid any real paint damage until a few days ago. I'm pretty sure it happened at work, though I can't be certain. Was running late to a meeting and broke my own parking rules by parking between two cars (1 of which...

Noticed a few months ago that I have kind of a deadspot in the steering. It's only on Left turns, at about 8-9 o'clock. Gradual turns it's not noticeable, only on sharp lefts. Right is fine. Seems like I recall reading one early review in a car mag that mentioned this. Anyone else have it...

28 years ago my Dad got me into my first mustang (65 289 coupe) and over the weekend, I got to help him find a 2016 S550! Thought I'd share the experience here, along with lessons learned. He had been thinking about getting a new Mustang every since I got my 15 GT over a year ago. I'd sold him...

As there are several threads recently on the S550 design, I thought I'd put this one out there. Based only on stock looks, what are your favorite Mustang body styles of all time? Worst? I'll go first: Best (low numbers best): 1. 1969/70. Best example: Sports Roof (Boss 429/302). All...

Was at my dealer for an oil change and they had two Boss 302's on the lot. A school bus yellow and a red one. Both with under $7K miles priced at $32k and $38K respectively. Would you be tempted to trade? I was, a little because: 1. The Boss is a special edition with much lower...

I have this color combo, but 95% of the magnetics I've seen around here have black interiors. Have noticed a few magnetic convertibles with Saddle, but that's about it. How many here have Magnetic paint and Saddle interior?

How is everyone's holding up so far? I had to order a car from another state to get the magnetic + saddle combo. Then I noticed I had the dreaded "looseness" on the passenger side bolsters. The material was all wavy and wrinkled. Dealer fixed that and I've had no other issues. I will say...

Aftermarket spoilers, scoops, vents? No thanks. Giant, deep dish wheels? Methinks not. Over the top 'skunk' stripes? not even the stock ones. Logo wraps? Verped a little just thinking about it. And please, please, no logo sunstrip or whatever across the windshield. Of course, I fully support...

I know most usually do CAI and Tune together, and it seems like most tuners recommend it. Waiting on the Ford Racing tune myself for the warranty. However, I've seen some articles and videos that suggest CAI alone does next to nothing for HP, so is it worth it to do a CAI with a Tune? Anyone...

So, incredibly, I have not yet found the appropriate place for good 0-60 runs but have at least played around with the 0-30 timer. I'm still holding back a good bit because it's during commute hours on public roads, so I've only been able to hit a best of 2.5 secs. That's with a GT-PP. Saw a...

Have you owned, and what were your favorites? I'm now on my 4th and I'd rank mine as follows: 1. Poppy Red '65 289 Coupe: Ranks top for me almost purely based on nostalgia because it was my first car, the other cars were better in every measurable way. This was a base 289 coupe with zero...

So, we all know the gloss black, plastic trunk panel attracts all dust in a 100ft radius of the vehicle, but does anyone else notice fibers in the dust? I've noticed in my last 3-4 washes what looked like tiny, straight, fibers all over the panel. At first, I thought these were dog hairs, as...

BEWARE: LONG READ. ----------------------------- In case there's anyone considering trading up from an S197 to the S550 like I did, I thought I'd share this write up. I traded in a 2012 GT on mine, and what follows are just my own thoughts, opinions, and observations. Take it for what it's...

So we all know the published numbers on the S550 and S197 motors: 2011/12 GT = 412hp 390fpds 2013/14 GT= 420hp 390fpds 2015 GT = 435hp 400fpds However most of the dyno figures I've seen don't seem to substantiate the increase in published horsepower over the years. The RWHP/Torque numbers...
