What did you do to your S550 Mustang today?!

[rcsracing]

I brought my Mach 1 home a couple of weeks ago. tl;dr version - My 2021 FJG/Handling pack car was on order since April, cancelled in November by Ford. I found a matching options car with 30 miles on it total (10 miles by original owner) on Facebook Marketplace. FaceTime, some other verification, and then I flew to LV and drove it ~33 hours home.

I didn't have a PA plate for it until yesterday. I got that paperwork/registration complete, and drove it a bit yesterday and today (mid 40s). Washed it and pulled it in the garage until Spring.

Current mods/parts - oil/air separator, BC Forged wheels in HP sizing, FP hood strut.

This will primarily be a time trials/track day/autocross car next year.

I did say we needed to fix it instead of just cleaning the code again.

I know, I know. Text me what to get. I have no clue if it’s that purge valve thing.

Factory Performance Pack wheels. You could order them in nickel paint instead of black for ~$200 MSRP. I think they look much more than $200 better but then again, I doubt the paint costed Ford more than a few cents more. They may have been from separate suppliers because the valve holes are in a different place than the black versions on front or back (forget which).

Thank you.i like them a Lot.

My Mach 1 arrived today.

Not going to lie, I didn't think the Mach 1 was worth the price difference but this single picture changed my mind. Beautiful car.

Thank you! I was making the same comments early on until I got an excellent offer on my 17 GT. I upgraded and in comparison, this car is incredible. I can't get over the Tremec being leagues ahead of the MT-82. I'm trying not to drive it much because I have PPF and ceramic scheduled on December 20th. I keep making excuses to drive it on "side roads". I smile every time I drive it. In stock form, this car is amazing.

Let my princess drive hers today. 70 degrees outside is perfect for a December day. Gotta love this AZ weather. I don’t why you guys keep talking about electric mustangs we already got one right here and that’s how it will stay

Yes! Matching mini for the (grand)kids a must!

Now you both need to get some vids of your mini-S550 counter parts doing a Classic burnout:

Got around to fitting the 2021 engine upgrade package to my 2020 :

I didn’t do the full upgrade though - if I’m going to show off the engine cover, I would rather have the two tone 2020 version than the monotone 2021 version …

I’ve no interest in doing the 2022 upgrade, our euro’s are already a little down on HP and torque - I wouldn’t want to loose another 10 horses …

Took it out for a spin and filled it up. I’m sure my car likes flirting with orange exotics, not so long ago it was an orange McLaren and today it was a R8 (V10) :

Both driver and passenger told me the stang was louder … !

What changed for the 2021?

What changed for the 2021?

Engine cover is all black and changed oil to 5w30 instead of 5w20.. only 2 under the hood I know of

I had to clean some feathers and some specks of blood off my bumper after this silly bird didn’t get out my way.

I just seen him at the last second and hit the brakes…he flew away with minor damage (I hope).
Thankfully no damage to the Mustang.

Not to start an oil thread but does Ford recommend the 5w-30 for previous model years now as well?

LOL!!

When I had my prior 2016 S550, my upper front grille somehow captured a bat.. did not even know until I saw it next day coming out to the car in daylight...
