Introduce yourself!!

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

you bought the wrong colour of car to be concerned about dirt..... Defo get a look underneath and see if it's been undersealed and if not get that looked into before next winter

Hello everyone! I'm Alessandro from Italy. I had a Mustang a while ago, and I truly miss having this car. Well, now I'm thinking of getting this car again, and I'd love to hear your recommendations.

The V8s sound fantastic. I don't know what your budget is, or what the taxes are in Italy, I recall France had some bizarre rules about displacement, but I can vouch for the Ecoboosts being very fun as well. If you go with an Ecoboost it is easy and inexpensive to get the engine up to the low 300 WHP range, but don't go much over that because the block is not that strong. In either case the performance package is useful. Final thought-if I lived in Italia, from the Dolomites to sea there is no way I would get one with a roof.

Wow! Thanks a lot for your suggestion. I will have a look at this car and will see how much it costs in Italy at the moment. Perhaps, I'll throw some options here, so you can have a look

Hello from NorthWest Florida. My name is Rob and I just picked up a 2019 Orange Fury EcoBoost. Don't know much about it yet except that it was a 1 owner, has 58,000 miles, a clean CarFax and appears to have been taken care of very well.

Hello from Epping in the UK.

So I joined the Mustang family 3 weeks ago. 2018 pre facelift with 60k miles on her. Its love already, what a car. Has some cosmetic mods, a H-pipe and wheel spacers.

Car in its natural habitat. Its an expensive beast with UK petrol prices

Hey everyone, I’m Nick from GA. After a while of looking I recently got my hands on a 2018 race red GT 10A with 30k miles. I’ve already got jacking rails ready to install, just looking for a good h-pipe then the spiral of mods will continue

 

[OrangeFuryNWFL]

Nice! I'm new to the S550 (just bought it a couple of weeks ago) and never heard of Jacking Rails! Just had to Google it!

Howdy all, I'm finally back in the Mustang game after seven long years. Found this 15 GT PP with a bit of work already done to it. I've always dumped money into mine figure I would buy one that someone else did the hard work I'm in 540 VA if there is anyone else around!

 

[snubbers]

UK Based, and just starting my S550 journey!

I pick up this 2020 GT Convertible 10R80 - 55 Edition in Lucid Red. very low miles and had magneride on top of the 55 edition standard kit (so fully loaded).

I've had a few convertibles over the years, the S550 replaces my long term (I had it 8 years) E46 M3 Convertible:

Spoiler: Old M3!

I looked for a replacement for 8 months, trying absolutely everything I could, and never found anything that had the same 'special occasion' feeling of the M3.. however, finally I jumped in an S550, fired it up, smiled, and was sold!

There are some small jobs to do, and I imagine I'll start modding it before long, but at the moment, I'm just enjoying it..

Hi all from Vermont. I sold my 2002 Thunderbird and picked up this 2019 convertible with 36000 miles last summer. Love it, it’s roomier and way more powerful than the bird. Can’t wait for winter to be over.
