I've encountered many people with S550 performance pack cars, but I'm struggling to recall if any of the owners ever mentioned having magneride. It doesn't seem to be very common. I have Mach 1 owner friends who obviously have it and they speak highly of it.
Interesting about the Ford Racing...
The front wheels are too narrow for those tires. With 20x9s I wouldn't put tires any wider than 265 on them. I've run 285s on 10 inch width wheels and the fit was perfect.
Exhaust volume is a personal preference thing, and I can understand wanting it quieter for a convertible cruiser. You definitely would have appreciated the active exhaust.
I had the A6 transmission in my '15 V6. At the time I thought it was OK but after getting the A10 in the '19 it seemed...
An H pipe generally doesn't impact the warranty except perhaps for parts of the exhaust itself (not the cats though). Obviously, things can be different depending on where you are located.
I agree. The delay was quite annoying in my S550 and although I haven't used the paddles much in the new one, there doesn't seem to be much improvement.
I never drove a stock performance pack S550, but the mods I did to the non PP car made a big difference in handling. In particular, the BMR...
Thanks. I don't really view the higher vs lower steering effort as necessarily good or bad as long as it can be adjusted. It seems interesting that it changed with the 2018 S550 refresh and then went back the other way with the S650. And it's strange that there was no change to the Ecoboost.
It would have been a more interesting comparison if the '19 GT had magneride and a 3.55 gear ratio. Even so, the transmission performance and quieter cabin are clear improvements. The quicker steering is noticeable, and I think I prefer it, but it's probably a matter of personal preference for...
I've now owned my 2026 Mustang GT A10 premium performance pack for a little less than 2 months. It's my 3rd Mustang. I previously owned a '19 GT premium for about 5.5 years. Prior to that I had a '15 V6. I thought I'd provide some early impressions of the car in comparison to my '19. Keep in...
"Stock" for the performance pack cars is 27.7 diameter in the rear, so 305/30 would be a little smaller. Also, the OP has previously expressed that he does not want a taller tire up front than the rear.
Those wheels are very nice!
