ROYAL CRIMSON S550 MUSTANG THREAD

Thank you. Getting the screen to adhere strongly to the grill proved to be the hardest part.

At least from the pics, it looks like it came from the factory!

Thank you. The adhesive that did the trick was locate 401.

You mean Loctite 401 ?

I managed to find a Roush Stage 2 in Royal Crimson recently. It had less than 5000 miles on it and a little surprise under the hood. The only background I have on the car is that it sat at the dealership unsold until March 31, 2020 and then on April 26, 2020 it had a 700hp phase 1 Roush supercharger added by the selling dealership. The original owner traded it in across the road at the Chrysler dealership in late December and I brought it home in mid-January. I put some all season tires on it, but it's been sitting for the last couple of weeks because of snow and temps well below freezing (suppose to hit -10F tomorrow night). Hopefully it'll warm up relatively soon so I can get it back out and enjoy it. It's been quite the experience going from my 315hp 08 Bullitt (which I still have) to this 700hp setup. I plan on using it for autocrossing and a couple of HPDE events per year. I already got some matte bronze 19x11's for it and will get some 305s for it once I get some camber plates and longer studs installed. I had been looking for a '19 Bullitt, but the color was enough to sway me to get this one. The RS2 and supercharger combo didn't hurt, either.

Had to post a picture of my Royal Crimson in this rare Texas snow. If any of you are on FB check out the royal crimson census page!

I'd hate to think how royally crimson the original owner's deal sheet looked vis-a-vis 8 months of ownership. Car-induced divorce?

I've wondered what happened there the whole time I've owned it. I can't imagine that there wasn't some sort of life changing event that caused him to trade it in. There had to be on the order of $25k between what he paid for it and what he got for it. I sent him a FB message a while back to see if I could get any info about the car from him, but haven't heard anything. He kept a few of the Roush items like the $400 tool kit. I'm sure that's little consolation.

I live up north, and my Mustang has never seen snow.

There were groups rescuing sea turtles in Texas. Weren't there groups rescuing Mustangs too?

it's just a car - sheetmetal, thin-ass paint, questionable top-coat. Snow is a great preservative and insulator. You can't go wrong entombing 1ft or more. Clearing it off is the real sin - you're going against the designs of Nature.

My car stays in the garage when it's not being driven... I pulled it out to snap a few pics since we probably won't see snow again in 10 years ... She's also ceramic coated

My second 18 Royal Crimson PP1. Missed the first one too much

I have had mine for over three years now and even though several people have asked if I wanted to sell it, I have never even considered it. I have owned many great cars over the past 45+ years and I really think this is my favorite one.

There has not been any active post on here in a while so I figured I would post another pic of my R.C. PP1. Its all dressed up in its 2022 track dancing clothes. Now to get the timing right to be able to take her dancing at the track this season. lets see your R.C.'S people
