New here ,just wanted to say that I am enjoying the forum, always good information, alot to learn! I just purchased a used 2017 mustang v6 as " project/ something to do" for the winter . It's a really nice car for the price, made a few cosmetic changes, spent a great deal of time polishing, buffing, cleaning, etc, now looking forward to driving it, probably putting it up for sale in the spring , maybe someone else will enjoy it and I will look for another one. I've always been into cars, owned too many to list, but this was 1st mustang since 2003 mustang ( wife bought it, was a money pit,sold it for jeep). Not alot to read here yet on the v6, but I will say that I was very pleased with the way it drove when I picked it up and drove home a few weeks ago ( before big snow and freeze hit, Ohio). OK, I've rambled on enough for now but i will attach a few photos and say,thank you all for the forum.

New here but a longtime lurker. 2021 GT original owner bought it in 2020. Feel weird posting, but I wanted to browse the projects/builds/part reviews so on and if I ever have a question I need an account to post. I don't take a lot of pictures of my cars so I am sharing one a photographer took recently when I was driving on a local mountain. Flagged me down on my way back. Otherwise I have not personally taken a photo of it since 2024. I'm just different I guess. I do have some videos of it, but even those feel odd sharing online. I'm not really into the whole internet opinions, criticism, drama loop that comes with sharing things. It's not like it was 20-30+ years ago when people seemed less toxic?

I've done a lot to the car; supercharged, tuned, suspension, bracing ... I don't really consider myself a car person or really into Mustangs (no offense meant). I am a driving enthusiast though and the S550 has been one of my favorite car platforms to build out of 30 years of driving & building cars. Oddly enough the S550 reminds me of when I first fell in love with the Nissan 240sx in the 90s granted it (the S550) is a heavier car for sure, but with the proper modifications, suspension tuning and such I've found it to make a wonderful Mountain / Canyon carver. That's literally all I use the car for.

Attached a photo and video of the car. I'm not great at videos either just make them mainly for myself, memories, and evaluating roads my habits etc.

Love the video! It's that late night sort of calm that I enjoy just driving around. Wife definitely doesn't get it...

Loved the video. At least you're young enough to drive fast in the dark. In my younger days I preferred driving at night;I could still see the road ahead of my headlights.

If only I had run room like that out my way, I'd be in heaven! Cool video. Makes me want to yank the cover off my car and go for a buzz.

Today I was able to take couple of pictures with my Chinese phone after adding the SuperSnake fenders and the side panel rockers.

Hi, I purchased a 2015 GT, has 51k miles. Came with the wheels, exhaust, intake. I just want to leave it NA and enjoy it with the family.

Hi, I just bought a 2021 Mustang Mach 1 with a Tremec 6-speed and am thrilled to join the club. Been a while since I was in a manual fun car but I seem to be right back into it without issue. Well... the shifts have gone well but my hip is confused about what the heck I think I'm doing and have voiced a formal complaint. Going to need to figure that out. Like many of you, I have been a long time Mustang fan, and a fan of Carroll Shellby and American racing.

I bought the Mach 1 thinking it would give me a mustang with most of the cool parts and a durable well developed motor that I don't need to worry about. Drove it home today with a grin on my face.

I've also been building a recreation of a 1965 Shelby Daytona Coupe, which is the car Carroll Shelby, Peter Brock, Ken Miles, Bob Bondurant, and Dan Gurney took to Europe to embarrassed Ferrari at their own game on their own turf with. The next year Ford tossed the Shelby team money to fix the Lola/GT40, which they did in 66, 67, and 68 at La Mans. My build is in paint now, held up temporally on something I screwed that I need to reorder for them. Hoping to finish it off this spring into early summer and hit the canyons.

Hi all. I'm JW. I told myself that I'd get a Mustang when I turned 50, so I did. This is Talon, named after my favorite female Sith Lord. She's a 2019 GT PP2. The previous owner blanked out the rear deck lid panel, had limo tint on the windows, and replaced the rear spoiler. So far, I've put some all season tires on, swapped the rear deck lid panel for a badged one, and had a more sensible tint put on. The OEM PP2 spoiler is in the mail. I love this car so much. I get a lot of looks, and I'm ugly, so I know it's her. Anyway, I'm glad to be here!
