POLL: So who has NOT modified their S550 at all?

[Cobra Jet]

Who has NOT modified their S550 at all since buying it (all years apply)?

Meaning it’s 100% bone stock as built and as purchased (new or used).

I really haven't modified it at all, except for the clutch spring, which is mandatory, and I guess I did have to change out the speakers because the factory implementation sucks, and since I take it to the track I had to buy another set of wheels and tires, and then of course, the brakes are only replaced for the track so that's not really an upgrade since I put the OE back on for the street, right? And the harness bar, and five-point harness, but that's just a safety item so it shouldn't count as a "mod" and then I had to cut some holes and run hoses for brake ducting (see track brakes) and again that's just a safety thing, so even though I cut holes it's not really a mod, right?

Huh. Maybe I answered the poll wrong.

I went with option #2, but I'm not sure if I qualify. Only thing I've changed is the shift knob - it's been a dream of mine to have the cue ball shifter forever. Might do the clutch spring at some point, but for now I just love the car.

Are plush & luxurious floor & trunk mats a modification?

I'd think not.

Mine's a boulevard cruiser so no need for performance or handling mods. I love it just the way it is. Of course I'm only into the second year of ownership so I reserve the right to change my mind.

No performance mods and none really planned.
Plenty of little cosmetic things and several things Ford should have done or they did poorly. Things like the SmartTop module, wind screen, hood struts, jacking rails, more trunk lighting and LED back-up light.

Thinking back on it, in 50 years of owning cars, I think there's only been one car I've owned that I never modified in some way...

Do hood struts count?

 

[13GetThere]

2, 3, 4, and 11, just couldn't decide which one to check.
However, wheels, tires, Rock Blockers, floor mats, removing the engine cover, jacking rails,.............are things I want to do. Do they count?

My 2016 3.7 I did nothing. My 19 GT I redid a lot of the suspension with steeda. I won't touch the motor till the warranty is up.

Most of my mods are bling. Lots of chrome under the hood. The only performance mods are strut tower brace, jacking rails, K&N wet air filter, and hood struts if they count. My current wish list is a catch can and Steeda rear subframe braces.

I would rather put the money toward the purchase of the next car. I won't need a rear seat in a few years, so I'm probably going to buy a 2 seater. My current GT suits my needs just fine... except maybe for the 3.15 gears.

I've already got 760 HP, handling is fantastic and exhaust sound is amazing so I think I'm good.

 

[19gtaz]

I did Steeda jacking rails and a real spare tire. No plans for now to do anything else but you never know.

 

[Nickel]

350R interior stuff, some personable things, a couple of suspension things. A PP doesn't need much more than that for a proper mountain car.

 

[oneheadlite]

Hadn't intended to keep it, but I have.

Was going for a GT350 in Grabber Blue but I lost interest......
