Looks fantastic with the tint!

Old vs New! I remember back when the S650 was unveiled in 2022, there was a lot of conjecture as to how “new” the new Mustang was. This only intensified once the press began to closely scrutinize the new model. The main cause of contention being that this new model was more of heavy refresh and...

Welcome to my dilemma 3 years ago, all the wheels I liked were not offered in Australia. Then, after settling on the HP wheels in matte black, within a few months a few of the key aftermarket supplied started to stock them. By the time I imported them from CJ Pony Parts, including shipping and...

Just discovered these images using SVE SP2 wheels, the aftermarket version of the HP Performance wheels I kept from my S550. Hmmm, I like how they allow for a better view of the big Brembo's. I'm thinking when I remove the wheels to coat them, I'll coat the calipers and then put on the HP...

Cluster Themes! I'm going to get this out of the way right now, I like REAL gauges! I've made this analogy a few times, but it sums up my feelings on the demise of traditional gauge clusters. Ask a watch nerd what's their favorite watch, they are not going to name one of the countless "smart"...

I sympathize with you here; glass is a pain. And after cleaning the glass for the first time earlier this week, I still have some residue at the base of the rear screen, which means folding myself back into the rear seats to do it again. On new cars, you end up with quite a lot of fogginess...

Do you park outdoors a lot, or near sprinklers? To me, those are mineral etchings caused by water rapidly drying on the surface, in effect, burning the minerals into the paint or surface. Ford will not warranty this, it will be considered an environmental factor not a manufacturing defect. To...

Line Lock! The Line Lock function was originally left off the table for Australian Mustang owners, Ford Australia coding it out to appear politically correct and not raise the attention of Tracy Grimshaw and her posse of "investigators" (Sorry, an Aussie reference). At some point though, Ford...

The twin-pipe noise maker! And comparison to my previous Mustang...........................

Engine Bay! The engine bay on delivery was in ok condition, but needed some attention to bring it up to spec. At the first wash, I simply wiped it down using Carpro ECH20, but I could see a couple of areas that would need a little more work. The first thing you notice when opening a S650...

One of the things I had anticipated about my leave, the ability to just step out into the garage and tinker away without a time limit. With two next two days on back on the tools, I decided to just take the opportunity to just hang. And in case you thought the poor old Falcon's were being...

Friday night cruising..................................

Out for a drive, because why not? I had some concerns I would find the 10R80 boring after having a manual, but I'm really enjoying this transmission. Compared to the earlier calibrations of this box, it seems much better sorted in normal driving conditions. The rev-match throttle blips are...

Looking good! :clap: How is the slickness after the Finest Reserve was applied? Is it slick to touch or somewhat grabby?

I took this image back in November 2017................................ Back then, there was quite a lot of push-back from loyal Ford fans in regard to the Mustang. Or should I say, Falcon fans. At the time, the factory closures were still fresh in people's minds, the Mustang was seen as the...

Marilyn Monaro! This afternoon a very special visitor dropped by for a visit. This stunning Holden Monaro has been in the family since new! The car was originally my aunt's daily driver but sat unused on a farm for decades, it's only recently been given a restoration by her son. Don't ask...

Same, I don't think I need a spoiler on the rear now. I hadn't seen an S650 until last Wednesday when my own car turned up off the truck. Then having them parked side by side on Tuesday, it was only then that I realized how dated the S550 suddenly became to me. But its mostly the rear, the...

100% agree. I don't think photos do S650 justice, S550 on the other hand was perfection right out of the gate.

I had Altrex on my old Mustang, they looked a little crisper, but overall I like the smoother look of the Kingpin's.
