I ordered from Granger on 9/15/25. Exactly one month later, 10/15, I received the email from Ford that the car was scheduled for production. The car was built on 12/8 and arrived at the dealership on 12/19. So just a little over 3 months.
Roush H-pipe installed with the OEM active exhaust. Love it! Not only did it make every mode louder, which I expected, but I like the tone better, too. That is a bonus!
That price is very attractive for flow formed wheels. Especially compared to Modern Muscle and Project 6gr. I've never heard of Factory Reproductions, though.
Edit: As for color, I like gunmetal or bronze wheels on black cars. But it's your car and everyone has preferences.
If a new platform does come in 2030 I agree any refresh before then would be minimal. However, cost cutting might also mean pushing a new platform further back. If the S650 runs as long as the S550 did or longer, I would expect Ford to do a fairly significant refresh (at least to the exterior...
My wife always says that about bright colored cars. Grabber blue is a color that pops by itself, so I doubt stripes would make a difference. Personally, I think the "cop magnet" concept is overrated.
You can probably go as wide as 275. As an example, below are specs for a Michelin Pilot Sport 4s in 275/40r19. The range of rim widths is 9-11 for that tire. Your stock wheels are probably 8.5 or 9 inches wide. A 275 isn't a whole lot wider, and technically a 275 in that tire is too wide for 8.5...
My '19 GT with 10 speed and 3.15 axle ratio regularly got 25-26 mpg on the highway, occasionally 27-28. My '26 with performance pack, 10 speed, and 3.55 ratio only got 20.2 mph on a recent trip. I knew the lower rear end ratio would make a difference, but I didn't expect it to be that much. The...
I think black accents look great with colors like grabber blue and race red. If there's such a thing as more of a solid black stripe that goes where the RTR stripes used to be, I think it would look good. I like super snake stripes on S650s, but I would do a black one on grabber blue.
A group of us from DFW went down and drove the "3 Twisted Sisters" in Central Texas over the weekend. I made the trip several times in my '19 but this was the first time in the S650.
I personally haven't used them but have heard positive things from other Mustang owners.
Two other good options in DFW are DSG Performance and Precision Alignment and Auto . Precision can do the alignment after installing suspension parts, and he (Chris) knows what he's doing.
You need to get one of those aftermarket shift knobs that burns your hand when the car sits in the hot sun. It would give this some legit functionality. :)
These two are nearly the same and don't have issues. Both coming from stock PP wheels. Maybe 20s aren't off the table for me after all. :crazy: 😁

Glad you chimed in! The more examples of instances where problems occurred and did not occur the better. Electrical issues wouldn't explain why everything works normal again for @Ken H. when he puts his stock setup back on.
That's quite possible. I don't know what the precise angle change would be, but the changes for both the front and rear sizes are reasonably close. There shouldn't be a large change in the angle.
