Also, for a total of $32,000 and you have a great performing track car that will out-perform a good portion of competition AND still be reasonably street-able you sure got the bargain of the century. I bought mine using x-plan pricing and paid $38,900 for mine brand new. I'll say the performance package adds way more value than it costed back then!! I'm probably about $15,000 additional deep past my original buy in and I'm still on the super cheap side for what i have lolSo...here we are. Nearly 8 years since I've had this car, I guess now is a good a time as any to finally make a build thread.

How it started (2015)
How it's going (as of 2022):
A little history...
The year is 2015 and I was in process of getting rid of all my motorcycles (I had 4 of them - track, street, dirt, and another track bike I had been working on) due to a bad street accident about a year prior...getting T-boned by a truck is not fun and I'm probably lucky to be alive. This was not a first street accident, and I figured I may not be around to see what the outcome of a 3rd incident would be. I had ridden for about 8 years prior to any accidents...that last year of riding was just not my year.
I had never been very interested in mustangs...but the S550 was intriguing to me since they finally had an independent rear suspension. I was ready to get back in a RWD vehicle and I wanted something decently fast
Purchased it lightly used for a little over 26k with 4k miles on it. It was traded cuz the guy that had it before realized he didn't want a manual transmission. Score for me.
