What did you do to your S550 Mustang today?!

[Bulldog9]

Went to the car wash then test fit the new SVE 350s on my daily. They will probably end up on my white convertible but that's for another post. These are 10s with 285/35/19 up front, 11s with 295/35/19 in rear. Continental ExtremeContact. Can't drive in 25° weather today but it's fun to look forward to the spring. Thank you to everyone for chipping in their knowledge and experience... @rhexis @Mikepol2 @Bikeman315 @ModularKid21 @Ewheels @shogun32 @barron64 @Amaury and specifically @fastrax for letting me know these wheels were on sale dirt cheap. I'm really happy with this fitment.

Also, the SVE wheels & Cont tires weighed in @ 52.0lb front, 53.9lb rear. The OEM factory 20s with all seasons weighed in @ 62.9lbs. The PP1 wheel with winters were 57.3lbs and 58.5lbs. I'm hoping to feel the 5 to 10lb difference at each corner when I drive it.

Where did you source them?

It's so sad to see these beautiful cars and all that salt I'm glad I have a 4 wheel drive for the Winter

Eh, it is what it is.
I refuse to make it a garage queen (edit- it is garaged every day when not driven tho) and don't really want a third car in the house (wife has a truck), cause then all I'd be thinking is "I wish I was in the Bullitt today."

To each their own I suppose.
Although today we got a lot of slidey powder, ended up having to skip practice. Despite winters the rear wasn't getting enough traction.

I guess I'm shopping for about 3 bags of kitty litter tomorrow!

I put the carbon fiber trim back on, on top of the purple, to tone is down a bit. And, just a random shot from my errands this evening.

With cold dense oxygen rich air on the menu, I let her eat !

We got some more of the white stuff today, so I naturally got out and slid around some more while it was still coming down. I'm so glad I sprung for proper winter tires.

It's been pretty dry out west since we got that full hammering two weeks ago. Guess you guys get to have all the fun now, lol.

Passed them sitting in the driveway while scaping snow on the tractor. We got 8" yesterday and still flurrying today. State has not touched their roads here yet.

Ordered a GT350 steering wheel and shifter.

And joined M6G.

King Kona was the name of my last Stang. Kona Blue vert eco...now I have Shadow.

Has 200 miles....added a catch can, put in the all weather mats, will be installing the Rokblokz soon.

Not sure how anyone removes the engine cover without lifting the strut brace.

Car was built in August got to the dealership December 30 and I bought December 31, must have sat outside at Ford because under the hood is filthy so I am giving it a good cleaning.

I didn't take it off completely, but loosened both sides enough to wiggle the cover out. But it's for sure impossible to get it off without moving the brace a bit.

Interesting, kinda glad to hear im not the only one that gets the creaks until it warms up in the interior. Makes sense.



People will probably chastise me for this, but somehow the Bullitt looks pretty good with the deep green and light gray salt spray. love your wheels too!

Ohio salts quite a bit, so mine's gonna be a rust bucket in a few years probably, but it will have had provided ton of miles with smiles, which is its job...

when I bought mine, the dealer did a rust proofing oil/paraffin treatment to prevent rust. 10 years warranty. it helps a lot. another way to prevent rust in winter is to wash your car often to remove the salt. its worth to invest in a rust proofing treatment. FYI I live in Montreal, Canada and today its a snow storm (12 inch of snow). But ford winter i'm driving a Ford Edge with remote start! Cheez Wiz (Mustang name)is in storage for winter.
