COMPETITION ORANGE S550 MUSTANG Thread

Great pics!

So, do we think the Tri-bar pony badge means this is the V6? :shrug:

I'm not sure what the tri-bar badge means, but it doesn't look good in this application. Also, the body-color rear diffuser looks terrible in Orange. I don't care for the body color/black rear diffuser either. It looks best to me all in black.

Perhaps the body color rear diffuser is another indicator of the base V6? I don't know. I do like the "retro" 5-spoke wheels, however.

The skinnier tires, smaller wheels, and lack of hood vents and the 5.0 emblem are all indicators that this is a lesser pony. It still carries dual exhaust though. Maybe all versions will? Either way, it is definitely not a V8.

It's on in this photo. Maybe they work with corner illumination?

Yeah I'm guessing v6 but why does it have clear turns instead of amber? Usually amber is for the base vehicles? And we have already seen some with amber..

Could be a Canadian model with different exterior light requirements.

Not feeling the CO at all. Looks too red to me. Also wish they would have done it in a metallic color and or burnt orange. Don't care for the tri bar pony on rear decklid either. Let's hope this is the base 6 model.

may i have a guess

as the indicator is so Close to the foglight, it is probably the way it is with the drl and the indicator on the chrysler 300c, as soon as you use the indicator, the drl on the 300c or the fog light on the s550 are switched off to make the indicator light more visible

You can always buy a Camaro instead ... don't they have a burnt orange metallic color ??

Good call, Most likely the case!

I think this might be a Pony Package car, on the older S197 they placed tri-bar badges on the fenders with in grille fog lights and for the refresh they moved the fog lights to the lower bumper. Seeing as there no longer is any grille mounted fog lights I can guess thats what this is, a pre-production V6 Pony Package. And not to say it could be possible that it could also be the EcoBoost as that's an upgrade for the Base V6, so might even be an EcoBoost Pony Package!

Is it just me, or does that one look lower than other cars we've seen in the wild.

Is this a serious reply? I don't like Camaros. I'm not buying anything just giving my opinion.

It looks too washed out to me, just MHO. Doesn't seem red at all, just a dull washed out orange. I had high hopes for the outdoor pics, but this just completely turned me off. Still hoping for better pics of TY, but I think Ruby Red is now the color for me.

I think the lighting is affecting the way the color looks in these photos.

Agreed. This color does not do the car any favors.
