Introduce yourself!!

[Johnny Rockit]

Thanks for the add! My name is Dakoteh. I’ve used this forum for years just to get information, figured it’s time I join. My first car was a 2010 V6 car with an automatic transmission. I bought my first manual car a few years later which was a 2016 V6 car. Now I drive this 2015 DIB 50th Anniversary Appearance Package Premium GT. It’s pretty stock, has Steeda Progressive Springs, Magnaflow Street Series Catback with an X-Pipe, and a Steeda short throw shifter. Mustangs have been my dream car since I was a child, so excited to meet everyone and see some sweet cars!

Welcome from out of the closet. Nice ride.

Hi Everyone,

My name is Adam and I picked up my first Mustang ever about a month ago. It is a "company" car through my Job with a Landscape Lighting company that I've worked for nearly 11 years now. The boss gave me a financial range to stay within and after 2 months of searching, I ended up with a 2020 Ecoboost with the premium package and Pony package. I've put about 2700 miles on the car since I got it and I really enjoy it for the most part.

In my younger days, I had played around with some street cars and I used to also do some drag racing on sport bikes ( [email protected] on a stock wheelbase ZX-14). I inherited a 2011 Caddy CTS-V Wagon from my Father when he passes but was not able to keep it due to a shortage of space on my property. It hurt to sell it but I wasn't emotionally attached to it and the funds paid for my 2023 GMC Canyon Denali just about in full. Unfortunately, I've become somewhat disappointed with the Canyon (had a 2015 Canyon SLT before the Denali, put 160k miles on it in 8 years) and I plan on trading it in about 6 months when I will no longer have a need for a pick up. I'm contemplating a 20'-23' GT Premium as a personal vehicle even though I have the Ecoboost as a company car. I like it that much!

I am eager to learn more about the S550 platform and I've just recently started exploring this forum, soaking up as much as I can as I go.

Nice ride Adam! I own a 22 GT Premium and can say it's one of the better vehicles I've owned (and that's saying a lot). I've decided to keep mine as stock as possible since modifying is a very slippery slope. I do suggest driving a few GTs in different configurations before buying:

1. GT Premium non-PP with 20's
2. GT Premium non-PP without 20's (wish I had done this)
3. GT Premium PP with magneride
4. GT Premium PP without magneride

That way you can make the best decision for yourself.

Excuse the ignorance, PP - Pony Package? Performance Package?

Hi, Adam. It's Performance. There are PP1 and PP2 packages.

I had that awkward feeling about 3 minutes after I posted that I knew that. I just didn't get back to edit it. Thanks !

Hello, I’m Dan, been getting info from here for a few months so I decided to join. I picked up 2015 GT premium with only 5k miles back in September, traded in my 2006 GT on it. I’ve also had 3 1967 coupes, still have the first one 28 years later, also had a 1979 Capri, 1980 notch and a 2000 V6 mustang. I’m loving the S550, already done 20” wheels and tires, cat back, intake, tune and some lighting and appearance upgrades.

Here’s the day I got it, that’s my 2006 to the right. It had a color shift wrap, CDC shaker, tune and exhaust.

Here’s the new ride. I’ll toss in a picture of my 67 as well.

It’s got a 351w with dual quads.

Hi All, I'm Rick from West Florida. This is my 5th Mustang over the years. And maybe my favorite car I've ever owned.

 

[COramprat]

Hi, I'm Rick and live in South Louisiana. I've been a Mustang owner off and on since November of 1982 when I got my first car. A 1978 Cobra II. Since then I've had a 82 Fox (my ex got that in the divorce), a 96 GT, and still have a 03 Saleen S281, a 66 Coupe and a 16 GT350. I sold a 07 GT500 that I inherited from my dad a few months back. The 66 has been in our family since new.

I used to be a moderator on Stangnet so my screen name may be familiar if you were/are on that site. A run in with an admin on that site drove me away so here I am.

Hey people. This is John, I am currently in SC, but lived in upstate NY in the past 7 years.

I have a 2023 Oxford White GT 6MT with 301A and Active Exhaust which I might be parting ways soon. Just wanted to join the forums to get more involved. Though I might sell this one, I am looking for a Mach 1.

Here are some terrible pictures lol.

Hi,
My name is Mark and I'm from Oxfordshire in the UK and I've just bought a convertible as a daily driver. This is my 3rd Mustang, I used to own a 1969 Mach 1 M code and a 1972 Convertible. I'm looking forward to learning more about the S550.

Thanks for the welcome. Yes I hope I do! It seems to be a well cared for car from a Ford Dealer, so I'm hoping it's a good car.

Hi everyone,

my name is Sean from metro Detroit. Just purchased a 2022 GT premium performance pack 6MT with 6k miles on it from a dealer in Chicago and drove it home through a snowstorm on the terrible Pirelli summer tires. It was a special order car to a dealer in Alberta (hence the cold weather package, block heater; rear spoiler delete is more of a mystery) and looks to have been a dealer display car until March of 2023, at which point someone imported it to the states, drove it through the summer and then traded it in.

many excellent threads on this site have helped me learn the different features of the car already. Thanks to all who post and help out.

this car joins my 1968 mustang (289/4 speed) and my daily 2014 charger hemi awd.

Morning all, new guy from (not-very) sunny Scotland

Picked up a 21 GT at the weekend, traded in an Alfa Romeo Giulia Veloce that was absolutely brilliant to own and drive, but it wasn’t the Mustang I had my heart set on.

As soon as I the first 6th gen back in 2016, I was head over heels, then Ford announced the steering wheel was getting moved to the correct side (sorry! ) that was it, I had to have one and it finally happened
