A Keeper

[MAGS1]

I tend to keep my cars (any car, not just sporty ones) a minimum of 10 years. My Honda is 14 years old and that pretty much sums up my car ownership history. Had a '78 Granada ESS that I traded in for an '89 Accord LXi (focused more on family at that time). Being retired my GT is my last new car as I dubbed it my "retirement car". Yeah, it's an A10 because I didn't want the hassles of tiring my left leg in traffic or dealing with hydraulic clutch issues that I saw so much of in Rangers, etc. It's still fun when in 'S' mode.

I will likely hang on to my GT for quite a while as well. It’s more “analog” than anything out there which I prefer. The tech in my wife’s Explorer is incredible and has some really cool features, I just worry about how long it will last. We did an ESP on it primarily for the electronics.

I also did the 10R80, I don’t see myself doing a manual in the future even though I absolutely love the S550 GT350 and would love to have one.

My Mach is definitely a keeper. Great on the street and track both. I may add another but will never ditch my Mach 1.

I've had 2 S550's, a 17 GT vert with the performance pack and my current 23 mach 1, both in grabber blue. I love the looks of an S550 mach 1, but I wouldn't mind getting a 13-14 GT 500 or a 96 mystic cobra.

I'll probably drive myself to my own funeral in my Bullitt...

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.

For me the S550 is peak Mustang. Until the S550 arrived in 2015, we never had a factory RHD Mustang in Australia. You could count all the S197's in the whole country on one or two hands.

I did say when I bought my 2018 GT that it was going to be a keeper, but after a few rides in a Mach-1, I upgraded to a 2021 Mach-1. This one is my keeper. The S650 does nothing for me.
