Our Steeda Driving Experience on Friday was another amazing day out, attended by all manner of cool guests, including (in no particular order)
Ford UK, Michelin AND a Spitfire pilot who put on an amazing aerobatic display for us!
Ford UK brought along their Ruby Red Supercharged stang, which is Steeda equipped, wearing Velgen Split 5 20" wheels, shod with Michelin PS4S demo car, their blue Ford Performance equipped demo car, AND also a black MY18 car.
Ford were kind enough to let me have a couple of laps in the 18 car (equipped with 10 speed auto box) and Bailey from Haynes came along too.
I was overall very impressed with the car I have to say. It feels like a real clear "step up" from the initial S550 model, and I actually like the looks "in the metal" although I still didn't like the standard mesh wheels. The new split spoke wheels are better though.
To me it seems a great start for an "OK like this car" where as the previous model really NEEDED the Steeda (and of course others) touch, in that it NEEDED an exhaust of some kind, in my opinion it needed wheels, it clearly begs to get some suspension work, etc, whereas the new 2018 car gives you a nice exhaust, which is active straight out of the box, plus more power, plus with magneride an OK suspension setup for "everyday" performance use.
Of course you can still change things up and you can clearly improve on things still, but I feel its got more options that allow a better feel of "entry level" satisfaction.
Its of course still very much on a taste basis though, as somethings are seen as an improvement and others not, its all down to individual ideas, which of course is the spirit of Mustang!
I recently met someone who thought the old auto box was better, and someone else who though the old non digi dash was much better. The exhaust and looks are also very much a taste thing too.
Its great to see the new 18 comes with Michelin PS4S as standard too now, so another nice step up there!
:cheers::ford:
Thanks to all who came along, and stay tuned for pics and videos etc....
