MAGNETIC S550 MUSTANG Thread

[TampaBear67]

First time I could sit in the car and it felt great. I'm 6'4 and there was plenty of room. Much more comfortable seating position than the outgoing car. I was very pleased with it overall.

I completely agree. I'm 6'4" 335 pounds and I was Completely Comfortable. The Doors on the S -197 always rubbed my sholder so I always drove more with My Left Hand and rested My Arm on the Console. The Driving Position in the S -550 is Much More Comfortable. Also, it may sound Petty but it's something I have been concerned about, the Console and Door Arm Rests are at Equal Height, something I had never had before Owning My Accord Coupe.

I preordered my car without knowing if I can fit comfortably as I'm 6'5. You have helped me calm my nervousness of finding out last minute that the car I waited doesn't cater to my size.

American Muscle Cars in OZ and Kiwiland

During my visits to both Australia and New Zealand, I noticed quite few American Muscle Cars: Mustangs, Camaros, and the odd Dodge/Chrysler. I don't remember seeing any of them having RHD. They were always passing me, and I would grit my teeth because at times they had to go into the right hand lane to see if there was passing distance in the right hand lane.
It's also why I bought a RHD used car while I was in England. I just didn't want to drive looking at the ditch rather than the center line.

Cause people are starting to realize that Guard isnt as great as we all thought it would be, specially if you see it in person.
I was one of the first to order a Guard fastback, but eventually changed to Magnetic vert. Havent seen Magnetic in person yet, but lets hope I will like it enough not to switch to something else. :rant:

See if your local Ford Dealer has a '15 Super Duty on the lot. Magnetic really pops, it would look really good with chrome/polished wheels.

There is a video of a 6'5" driver checking out the car and saying he was able to move the seat up also. Plenty 'o room, as validated here

It's been interesting to read the posts from some folks who are changing their color selection from Guard to Magnetic. I think both colors have their pluses. The main reason I have selected it instead of Race Red (my initial choice) or Guard is because I like the way the it looks with the dark saddle leather color. I also like the metallic flake this color has as well, which goes with the lines of this car.

This will be my third grey Mustang (tungsten - 2007 GT, sterling grey - 2010 GT).

I like black. Stock wheels look ok for about 6months lol, plus oem wheels are heavy!

The spots on that window made it look like there was a huge dent in the rear quarter panel. Only thing needed to complete the look on that car is some tint on the windows.
