Love this car!

[Stang2550]

I’ve been trying to put miles on the car since it’s a 2015 with 9750 miles on it now. It’s really a lot nicer car than I first thought. I fit in the seat so comfortably and even though it’s a really tight suspension the ride feels good to me. There’s one thing about Florida roads and that is they are usually straight unless you can get out into the country. I’m trying to find that road to feel some turns and shift some gears. So far I’ve only seen one other black GT setup like mine but have only seen it twice.

nice!

Yeah that's slick.
For the money these cars are super hard to beat.

 

[Pistol_91]

Looks good too. That thing is basically brand new. You snagged a sweet ride.

for what you got for about $ 20-30K less than what s avavaible (newer) you r way ahead of the game as not enough has changed to warrant the extra money IMO.

Car looks great! Nice find! These cars are hard NOT to love! I don't know what part of FLA you're in. But it might be worth the drive up to Georgia for the twisty roads!

I found my 2018 PP1 with 5664 miles on it back in June. Almost 10K on it now!! Getting the final wash today before it gets put up for winter.

Yeah, you might be in the wrong part of the state for that.

I was assigned to Eglin AFB and lived in Crestview, where it's a little bit hilly, and the roads still weren't great for my 240SX or Evo to show their handling.

When I went to do autocross in Dothan, AL, there were some country roads along the way that I liked. I just didn't like them for the trip home because they were really sketchy after dark.
Faded paint, no lights, no reflectors...

Maybe you need to find a local sports car club that does autocross, or track days.

RIGHT!? One person's garage queen is another's fantastic daily driver for a hell of a lot less than new!

Beautiful car, I love black on black. I recently sold my 2019 Premium GT PP1 six speed with the recaro seats. I owned it for almost two years. It was modified, tuned and such by the previous two owners. It was a weekend driver for me. Loved the car but I never felt like I could do anything to it, that everything was already done, and that it was too much car with all the technology and such, for a weekend driver, so I sold it.

And guess what, I'm back in the market for another one, probably black like yours!

Thanks, I really feel lucky coming across this car. Black on black was my first choice but I saw many red colors that were beautiful as well. Guess I was in the right place. Spend a lot of time cleaning it, but I've got the time and it's very satisfying.
Good luck my friend in your search.

 

[Stang2550]

BTW, the white with black rims on the 2019 looks really good.

 

[GregR]

Yep, I loved the combination, previous owner put a Mach 1 front bumper on it as well. The car was well optioned, had the 401a package, and again lots of add-ons and upgrades by the previous owners. It was strange though, I never felt like I could do anything to the car. I changed the oil a couple times, put a new battery in it, new tires, changed the shift knob, that was about it. It was kind of too loud as well, I wish the previous owner would have kept the active exhaust when he replaced the exhaust system.

I'm kind of looking for a project car right now that I can clean up, make it better than it was before kind of thing. Problem is I'm seeing and finding a lot of ones that have been abused and molested.

Greg, I get what you're saying about "Not much left to do." I mentioned that I too found a similar low-mile, well-optioned S550. 2018 Royal Crimson PP1, 401A, Magneride, Active exhaust, CF interior with the Alcantara seats and door trim, and Nav, The only option they left out was the 12 speaker audio.
So, I put in a 12" sub, better speakers , amp, etc. Not a big fan of the black PP1 wheels. Found a killer deal on a set of the bronze SVE's with Nitto 555 S2's. Added some Jacking rails, IRS brace, and lots more minor tweaks to enhance what is there are planned. (Barton shifter??)

Bottom line is there ARE plenty of areas that you can address on these cars. Not even opening the hood!! Cold air, exhaust improvements, and tuning can go a LONG way!! YOU CAN MAKE IT YOUR OWN!!

Thanks for sharing this, and I know, you're right. This car already had all the mechanical aftermarket upgrades, long tube headers, cold air intake, Borla ATAK exhaust, lowering springs, short throw shifter, upgraded clutch and flywheel, I put a tune on it, forgot about that. And I'm sure I'm forgetting about other stuff previous unders did but yeah, you're right. And it already had the upgraded stereo system with like 300 speakers. My days of having fancy stereo systems are behind me, I'm old now
