New ride

[TJL442]

Well I upgraded the other day and traded off my 2010 GT after removing the Paxton and FRPP intake manifold. Picked up this 2016 Magnetic GT with 401A, navigation, manual, 3.31 gears and spoiler delete. Loved my 2010, but that faded fast after getting in this one. Drove 180 miles each way to getnthis and the return trip was a blast. Waiting to receive my new wheels in a week or so from Paul at Need 4 Speed and that I ordered a while ago and can't wait. You can see my Kona blue 2010 in the background.

I always prefer the spoiler delete when it comes to non-Shelby Mustangs. My first S550 had the spoiler because I couldn't find what I wanted along with the spoiler delete. I hoped it would grow on me but it never did. I didn't like how it was raised at the ends where the trunk lid met the bodywork.

Luckily, when that one got totaled I was able to find one with all the same options along with the spoiler delete. Kind of made up for inconvenience of an accident that wasn't my fault leaving me with a totaled car haha.

Welcome to the forum and congrats.

What do you think of it power and performance wise compared to your boosted 10?

We shall see how they look, hope as good as I'm expecting.

Hard to say honestly as I haven't ran it full redline through the gears yet and the 5.0 being quieter is deceiving, but initial feeling is the 4.6 with Paxton running 11 pounds of boost, Barton shifter and 3.73 gears and me being more comfortable with it, the 2010 is faster.

Still have the Paxton and thinking about seeing if I can get the mount kit for it and fab up my own piping like I did on the 2010.

Congrats! Magnetic is the fastest color, you get an extra 20hp!

Traded up from a modded 2010 GT as well, it is definitely a whole different pony. Enjoy!

Yeah once I just sat in it I knew the 2010 was done for. Was actually the only S550 I saw up close, I had been avoiding them because I knew I would have to have one.

2010 Mustang with Paxton probably was faster :
