One thing that Charger has that I would KILL for on a new Mustang...GLASS ROOF.
Oh, how I miss that on my 2013... 😭
EDIT: Also...can we just stop and think about what Dodge is going to do with the Charger? Possibly throw a Hellcat powertrain back in it, right? An IRON BLOCK blown V8. That...
Dang, that sucks to hear! This is why new cars have warranties, though.
It may be hard to look on the bright side now, but be thankful this didn't happen out of warranty 5 years down the road. If you intend on keeping the car for awhile, it may be worth it to try and negotiate an extended...
Ever ridden in one? They ride like a tank.
I have Honda Civic (2012 I bought new, still i new condition), that gets easily 40 mpg on the highway. It has some pep too. Good enough for me. It's the most stolen car in America. Mustangs are supposedly number two.
Man, NEVER get rid of that...
Gotcha, so at least in that regard, the delta wasn't too far over.
If you said something like a 50-60 zone, I'd say you would've been EXTREMELY lucky then, Haha.
EDIT: Like you, 10kph over is more or less the norm for us too...certain highways can be more and certain inner city/residential...
OP - I actually side with some of your frustrations...but not for all the same reasons.
I'll do my best to spare everyone a long-winded rant...but it sounds like you may be happier in a car that doesn't cost as much AND isn't as bogged-down with technology. I personally haven't bought a new...
OP - I am 99.99% sure they are built by VS Forged wheels. The model name is VS02.
VS02 – VSForged
You can google search images as well, but here's the link:
Ford Mustang GT S550 Silver VS Forged VS02 | Wheel Front
According to this page, they are a 20x10 +34 with a Brushed/Gloss Clear...
He mentions 650 at the wheels, btw. Not a far cry from the advertised 800+ at the engine.
EDIT: He mentions this at 25:10 of the original posted video. No specifics are given, though...pulley swap and tune perhaps?
I'd love to see some accurate sector times from these cars...ZR1, GTD, GT3RS, etc. Be interesting to really see the strengths and weaknesses of all these machines throughout the track. I'd love to see tire temps and pressures, too...
I gotta' be honest, I think Chevy did a great job with...
S650 TUNING IS HERE! E85 Tune Results are SHOCKING! - YouTube
Here's another video for you lot!
Apologies for the lack of cliffs. UFC is on and I'm eating pizza. LOL.
OP - Honestly man, if you aren't feeling the S650, there's nothing wrong with that. With 22k miles in, you def have enough seat time to warrant a proper in-depth opinion. The question is, where do you go from here?
If you don't mind going used, there are obviously plenty of choices out there...
OP:
2026 Mustang Order Guide
Take a look at the order guide to get a better idea what you can expect the packages to include.
The new colour is available on other trims as well...it's not locked to the FX Package.
Hope this helps!
EDIT: Keep in mind, some of this is subject to change and...
For what it's worth, I'm 5'8 and built athletically at 170lbs.
I didn't really dig the Recaros very much in the S550 GT and M1 (haven't driven an S650 in anger, yet) for overall comfort OR lateral support. They were better than base, yes, but not as much as I would've hoped. For comparion...
Where?
I've checked both 2025 order guides and don't see the option.
EDIT 2: It's a no-go in Canada...at least when it comes to the 2025. ☹
Hopefully that changes for '26!
As a sidenote, I haven't even seen a DH with the OEM bronze option in pictures. I guess no one wants them?
Typical cost-cutting for many of the changes. No point in beating a dead horse, though...capitalism at it's finest.
On a plus side...DH can now be optioned with BRONZE wheels. That's actually pretty sweet. They are a free standing option and don't force you into any other changes with the...
Very cool!
Off topic pipedream: Ford gets MV to help perfect the tuning of a special model/option package for the Mustang, akin to Senna with the original NSX.
A man can dream... :)
