Hi all from the heart of the Wine Country. On my third Mustang. First was a 70 fastback which was a hand me down from my mom. Second was a 98 Special Edition coupe which was crashed into back in October. Got the Ecoboost about 6 months ago and so far so good. First mod is the GT350 strut tower brace. Maybe I'll see some of you around the North Bay.

My S550 Mustang Story

Hello everyone! First post — happy to find this forum!

Here's my Mustang story:

When the S550 was revealed, it caught my eye. But I didn't fall in love until I drove a rental 2015 EcoBoost vert down the Pacific Coast Highway. I knew I *had* to have one, so I got myself a beautiful blue '16 EcoBoost Premium fastback as soon as I got back from my trip (I live in MI).

I loved that car. Unfortunately, 14 months after getting it, I was rear-ended on a highway, causing me to slam into a car in front of me. Airbags deployed, total loss... the works. Though I was fortunately mostly unharmed (this car saved my life!), I was devastated to lose my S550.

Luckily, things ended up working out with insurance, and a couple of weeks later, I bought a 2017 Mustang GT Premium. Not exactly how I would've spec'd it, but I was buying CPO and needed a car fast (the Stang is my DD) so my options were limited. It's been 8 months, and I’ve since fallen in love with this car. I can't help but smile every time I drive it.

Now that the weather is finally nice in MI , I'm looking at a few minor mods, so I'll be posting on the other sub-forums soon.

Pics of the old Eco post-crash, and the new GT below...

Hey everyone!

Name's Chris, I'm in Denver, and I just picked up a 2018 GT with the Performance Package. Had a 1993 GT back in high school, and I'm glad to be in a Mustang again! I love how much the new one reminds me of my old Fox-body. The sound, the feel, everything - just modernized.

Pics of the two...

Hello From Oklahoma

My name's Robert, and I live in Oklahoma. I (we) own several Mustangs and one 1994 Bronco. We have a 1967 GT, 1997 GT Convertible, 2006 Roush Mustang GT, and a 2017 Mustang GT. I own a repair shop and towing service in Lawton, OK. Each Mustang of ours has a unique story of how or why we got it. But to keep this post short, we got our '17 GT last June because I needed something cheap and reliable (you read that right) to get back and forth from Oklahoma City after our son was born prematurely and had a lot of health issues.

Now that things have settled down and everyone is home, the Mustang has become a bit of a dust collector. We're looking to make it the shop guinea pig and track car. Our shop is a member of a huge OEM parts network that allows us to get OEM parts for almost all makes, so we took advantage of that and bought an intake manifold for a '18 GT to put on ours to see if I can make it look as OEM as possible. I was a Ford tech for 15 years before we bought a wrecker (2016 F-550 Rollback) from the dealer I worked at and quit to open our own shop. I know Ford modular V-8 and V-6's like the back of my hand, but I am here to learn. Running or working at an independent shop is a whole different ballgame when you leave that protective umbrella of a franchise dealership.

Hey I'm Josh from NJ, just picked up my 3rd GT recently... had a 2010 4.6 GT Grabber Blue, 2014 Sterling Grey Base GT , and now a 2016 GT C/S with just under 3k miles. Brought all of them up to full bolt-on and hoping the '16 will bring me into the boost world this summer.

Current GT about a month mine, fresh goodies include SW O/R Headers, Corsa Sport catback, Barton Hybrid 3, BMR Everything, Eibach Sportlines, HRE FF01/Nittos, JLT Intake and was dyno tuned w/SCT.

Cant wait to upgrade the brakes/opg's and boost her up. Glad to join!

Glad to hear you were not seriously hurt.
One good thing that came out of it.
Well done and enjoy the GT

Hey guys,
my name is Jozef and I'm from Slovakia- it's a small country, however I've already noticed, that I'm not the only one here
I bought my Mustang 7 months ago (Ruby red GT) and since then I've already installed Clear bra protection; GT500 Racing Stripes & CatBack exhausts black ceramic tips with valve system.
My experience : Already 5000 miles on clock & one track day (road course) at our 3.7 miles long Slovakia ring.
Whats next : in the near future I would like to change a few things that I like the least on my Mustang, which is lowering with some good suspension setup (probably steeda), steering wheel, rear spoiler, gt350 front fascia. Since I'm from Europe it makes the whole buying process much more complicated, but I wont give up. I actualy like ,,hunting,, for parts on web
By the way I love this forum and comunity - already read hundreds of pages and learned a lot of things. Thank You !

Intro Duction

Hello fellow Ford Folks,

My name is Bill and own a 2016 Mustang GT 6 speed. I recently added the Whipple 2.9 liter supercharger with a Borla cat-back exhaust. What an animal! Full-on Stallion. I haven't upgraded the rear tires yet but will sometime very soon. Any suggestions for rear tires and wheels is appreciated. Happy Derby weekend!

What a picture from Slovakia, welcome to all you new guys, be safe & enjoy the twisty's!

Hi fellow enthusiasts. Name is Brian from NC.
Came over from a Camaro; a 2015 2SS to Mustang (again) in '17. This one is my third since 1975.

Didn't really want this S550 body, but I couldn't see giving the same money for a '13 or '14 that I could buy this one for.

Sooooooo, here I am.

By the way, I like the car fine. ( especially after I blew away 2 Chevys)

......................:cheers:
