LOL, I just read through that thread. I thought about putting in my two cents, but decided to refrain from doing so. That one guy is never going to admit a Mustang, even a pony car built for track performance, is capable of putting a hurting on cars twice it's MSRP at that venue. We'll bring you around Seth, just give us time!

Dude, I'm already brought around! Independent rear suspension, FPC 8250rpm engine that revs to the moon and sounds like honey.. The S550 is way more like the type of car I love than prior Mustangs.

I think your car is fantastic and can't wait to ride in it. I also loved riding in _M_'s car. I wouldn't bail on my car for a regular GT, and the GT350 is out of my price range at this point in my career. Still, I'd own an Impact Blue GT350 with Recaros in a heartbeat. R is a pipe dream for me, but I'd get one if I could.

That is a spirited debate over there. I think I need to take you for a longer ride with a few more turns. Ha

We will see soon enough when these things start getting tracked and where they fall versus others being discussed in that thread. All fun stuff to speculate on till we get real world data

That Robevo guy means well, he's just opinionated and English is not his first language. He has a fully built rally car he races.

I've known garagelogic on local forums for years, and he can attest that I was a stubborn idiot, while he had the patience and kindness of a saint. As I've gotten older, I've grown to respect all performance cars.

I have to defend my ricemobile a little bit, though. ;) Its AWD and focused on handling first. Currently 3355 lbs with a full tank of gas, 265/35/18 Pilot Super Sports. Ohlins R&T coilovers and bolt on breather mods for 348whp/355wtq dynojet. I have a mild turbo and injector upgrade set for install on the 20th of this month, and am hoping for a Voodoo like powerband of 420whp and 360wtq. (obviously lots less power than the Ford 5.2) Should put it on par with a previous Evo I had that went 11.8@117 at Beech Bend.

Thanks for letting me weigh your cars. I'm really enjoying this forum and the camaraderie you guys share.

In the end, it's not the car you choose to drive or even be passionate about, it's the friends you make along the way. Life's too short to form opinions about someone based on a trivial thing like the vehicle brand they drive.

I'm passionate about Mustangs but that does not mean I expect everyone else to be or that I cannot appreciate other makes/models.

Seth you don't have to sell me on other cars. I love them all. Forums can be a great place and can be a ridiculously bad place. I'd love to check out your car next time we are in the same place. Every car has something special about it that I can respect, except camaros. Ok even those...

The funny thing about the 350 is other than S550 guys, no other Mustang owners that I'm aware of approached me with any questions or comments. It was all other marques. It is funny to watch certain owners and how they react or don't react to certain cars based on a belief they can't enjoy anything other than what they drive.

I'll have to take you for a ride in my car Seth, might change your mind about the GT. It's a long ways from when you were in it before.

It's looking like there is a possibility I might have to sell my car due to an unforeseen family emergency. Anyone wanna buy a nice garage queen with 1,200 miles on it?

I really hope I don't have to sell....id have to take a bath on the deal I'm sure.

Sorry to hear that...hope everything works out!

I'm thinking about doing a mesh grille similar to what NUC has, and I would like to do a unique emblem on it. I've been searching around and have found two different options so far, but I'm not sure if either of these would even look good. Can you guys give your opinion? They both give it a throwback look.
Option 1:

Option 2:

Out of those two. Option 1

I must be losing my mind. I am building Mustangs on the Ford configurator.
I definitely need my real estate business to take off a little more first though. I would like another $15k down to make the jump.

I think the way I have optioned the car would be pretty unpopular. Totally base GT350, stripe delete in Deep Impact Blue or Avalanche Grey. I'm not sold on magnetic ride, would probably put coilovers with much more aggressive spring rates on it eventually. I'd *have* to have those Recaros, though.

Quit posting and go sell some houses. Ha.

An old friend of mine from back home in Texas that I haven't seen in years randomly sent me this picture today. We both bought new cars right around the same time in 2008. He sent me this picture taken the day I brought home my 2008 Bullitt. That was a great car. One of the few I really regret getting rid of.

Just waiting on the Diode boards to arrive at my installer ....
