I love mine. Only one complaint I have is the poorly designed center consul.
Not the quality part. But the retarded location of the cupholders. I can't shift gears without my arm hitting drinks.

 

THIS! My thoughts exactly. I personally think that is the best thing about the 2015 interior. Everything else on the 2015 sucks expect the engine lol. I love my 2012 though. Way better than my 2001 GT I had.

I understand what you mean though OP. It's pointless to have a sports car if you can't enjoy it IMO. I daily mine, speed limits on most roads I drive are 55mph, interstates around here vary from 60-75mph. I take mine to the track on occasion so I can really hammer on it but otherwise I take it easy.

 

Im a lifelong Chevy guy that bought a Mustang. I bought a 2014 GT. Totally love the car.

 

Love it only dislike is the MT82

 

Like I enjoy the car, its fun when I can have fun... but its kinda like... actually its exactly like dating a hot chick that only puts out on weekends.

Also the cup holders are no longer cup holders in mine, I keep my old shift knob and garage door opener in there.

Rotflmfao!!!!!!!!

 

There is no such thing as too much motor for this car. You simply need to upgrade the suspension.

 

Ive had my 2013 for about 2 weeks now. Bought it with 5400 miles on it, and it has about 8k now. But 1460 of those miles are driving to St Louis and back. Loving every second. Winter has me kind of worried since it is my DD but so far I've really enjoyed it. I have a lot of twisty backroads here where I live though so I get to play around a little bit.

 

This now completely changes my opinion of owning a GTR or Viper or Z06 in my town. Unless you can afford the tickets you can't really have fun.

Can't comment on the GTR or Z06, but had three vipers (2002 GTS, 2006 coupe, 2013 srt base). The vipers are certainly misunderstood cars. Forget about the ticket factor, the Gen II and III tried to kill me. The Gen 5 finally had traction and other controls to help with all the naturally aspirated torque. Even the stock 355 rear rubber was useless.

You cannot play around or show off in an viper. That's it.......... I enjoyed the car in other ways.... until double hernia surgery got me. Now my daily is a land yacht (yawn).

 

Whatever man, the S550 is a sweet ass car. Rides like it's on a cloud. Has plenty of power for what it is. And I LOVE the bolsters that inflate to counter act the sliding-in-the-seat effects of turns. When I was doing diesel work, the owner of that company had one that I drove on multiple occasions.

 

I love the 5.0 as a daily. I DD'd my dads 06 3V for a few weeks while my Jeep was in the body shop and it didn't have the same effect on me that the 5.0 does. Most of the time I just cruise but occasionally I'll hammer on it just to let myself know what kind of car I have. For me, it's worth the cost in gas. My average on my dash says 22.5 right now. That's exactly 1 less than my fusion sport got average wise. Honestly so glad the fusion blew up lol.

 

Mine's a DD business car and everybody loves it. 3.73s, manual, almost all city driving makes for some work but, it's a joy nonetheless. Then, every once in a while I take it to it's natural habitats: long road trips or, the dragstrip, where it hammers out 11 sec 1/4s on an unmodified motor.

I's determined to TVS this car at some point, just because I can.

 

my tune has slowly changed over the last few days, had a few street encounters.

1) Rich old guy in a Ferrari 360, long straight no lights late at night no traffic, I had him by a bumper.

2) Imported 94 Supra tried to race me, I had him by 8 lengths in no time, later found out at a car meet that it was an N/A car.

3) Supercharged 2010 Mustang GT he had me by a car length. I started to pull up top as he had me off the line but I missed 3rd and hit 5th. Made me appreciate 3v's

4) Duramax with a tune lift pump intake and exhaust, had me off the line but I reeled him in and past him. like he was standing still.



Over all the car is growing on me, I think it just needs suspension and a shifter.

 

it's all about the s600 the s550 is slow imo.

Granted at 4500+ lbs and given it's shaped like a brick, it's no sports car but 0 to 60 is 4.8 compared to the 2015 mustang GT 4.4.....so not too shabby for a limousine sized car. Don't know much about the S600, thinks it's a V12. The AMG versions are quicker of course, also way more coin.

 

$100k for an S550 isn't cheap to begin with. lol

 

Suspension work will make this thing drive like a totally different car, but I feel you on having a Mustang in an area that sees a long winter and has shitty roads.

 

I have a love/hate relationship with mine. The engine is superb. The car is super-sized compared to my '93 5.0L Coupe, it is just too dang big for my tastes. I have run a 12.50 @ 113 with a Ford ProCal, X-Pipe and RTR mufflers on stock Pirellis. That part I like. I just wish the car wasn't so big.

 

OP, have you tried looking for drag strips/race tracks to go to? Also there has to be some type of industrial area near you. A lot of those types of locations have long straight stretches of road with only a few cars on them.

 

Sounds like OP needs to find a track day and push the car to its limits.

 

only had mine about 4 months so far but absolutely love the car.
always looking at things to upgrade the car (found some foose wheels i really like but when
i saw the price!!! oh no!!). any way the 5.0 is bad fast right out of the gate so i will leave the engine
and drive train alone for now at least until the warranty runs out. noticed shifting is getting notchy
and will appreciate any advise to smooth it out some,(just looking for an inexpensive fix for now.
around where i live there seems to be a boat load of challengers, and tons of camaros which makes
my decision of purchasing a gt mustang so much the better,but then my first hot rod was a 1969 fastback!

 

For the MT82: Fluid swap, MGW Shifter, Whiteline trans insert bushing, and braided stainless clutch line.

 

thanks jdos for the reply,i will keep that in mind. i sold my big v twin motorcycle to get back in a muscle car,guess
i got alot to learn.
