How many of you plan on keeping your S550 as a 'forever' car? I believe that the S550 is peak Mustang design, it looked good when it was first revealed, it looks good now and it will still look good in twenty years, it's a timeless design. Pair those good looks with the Coyote motor and I'd say it's a keeper. Even if I could afford to own a GTD, Dark Horse and Ford GT MK IV tomorrow, my Mach 1 would still have room in the stable.

Probably too old to buy another one. Besides I spent $40,000 for a 2022 Calif Special in 2022, same car as equiped would be $55,000 now. Talk about inflation.

I love my S550, peak Mustang, it is not. Maybe performance wise, but looks wise, not even close. The S197 cars, 13-14 in particular, look a lot better, not to mention 64-70 lol.

I see no reason to sell my GT. I own one for almost a decade and still look for excuses to ride one. It is classy and brutal. I also like s197 for same reasons. If I owned s197 I’d kept one as well.

I haven’t owned a rear engined car yet. That’s my only itch for now. But C8 is a two seater and I like to have a company. 911 will want me to spent money I’d rather spend towards other reasons.

So no actual opportunity to upgrade.

I own my s550 outright and I will drive it until I can't drive it safely anymore. I can't stand those iPad dashes in these newer cars at all.
