19x11 square is a common track setup to maximize traction in the turns, and typically a Mustang with that wheel/tire setup has suspension mods as well. It wouldn't be unsafe, but it's overkill for street use.
Project 6gr has been popular with the S550 crowd. They make forged and flow formed. I know someone who has their 7 spoke wheels and loves them.

Signature Wheels are at the high end in quality and price.

I used to occasionally see a white S550 with a bright pink super snake style stripe in my area. The young blonde driver was very pretty. Yes, he should have waited.
I think black accents look terrific with grabber blue, so I would definitely put a black spoiler on that car. I like the spoiler that comes on the performance pack cars. The night pony package version is black.
According to those that run E85 in the area where I live, there's only one chain of gas stations (Kroger) with E85 that consistently tests at 85% or close. Another one is usually around 70%. I've never been interested in running E85 because of all the road trips I do and its limited availability.
It's not always possible. My son-in-law used to work with recall programs at Toyota's US headquarters. They would sometimes discover they had received a defective batch of parts from a supplier, but the defects weren't visible at assembly. By the time the issue was known, vehicles had been sold...
How about a Mustang wagon? :) I've noticed younger enthusiasts seem to love wagons.
Options like 4-doors, wagons, and hybrid variants might be key to the longer term survival of the Mustang, but I think it's highly doubtful any of that is coming with the next mid cycle refresh.
Disagree. Installing parts that are legit upgrades (e.g. a GT with Ford Performance track suspension, Dark Horse handling package wheels & tires, or a Dark Horse differential cooler, etc.) imo would not be stock. Performance package bits on a non performance package car would still be stock...
Nothing wrong with keeping a Mustang stock, but I do enjoy "making it my own" with some mods. I do agree that the horsepower of a GT is sufficient for my needs on the street, so I didn't make any power mods on my non performance pack S550 GT. However, it has suspension mods because I wanted...
Oops, forgot to mention a third one. It's called Diamondback. North Carolina highway 226A near Little Switzerland, NC, which is a cool little town to visit.
Nice routes! As far as other roads in the area, I recommend the Copperhead Loop (US 276 and NC 215 near Brevard, NC). Also, The Snake (US 421 between Bristol, TN and Mountain City, TN.) They're further away from TotD and Cherohala Skyway but perhaps you could hit them on the way, depending on...
It's surprising you didn't at least get the email confirmation from Ford that your order was received. Makes me wonder if the dealer typo'd your email address or if Ford's message is in the spam folder.
Ford's scheduled build dates are definitely not etched in stone. They seem to have a very fluid scheduling process. When I ordered my '22 Maverick, the build date changed just once but others had multiple changes.
I remember that car! I inquired about it and they told me the story about the owner winning it in a raffle. Ultimately I decided I wasn't ready to pursue a purchase hundreds of miles away from me. Congratulations!
My memory was fuzzy. It wasn't going to be a brand new platform. The Mustang was supposedly going to share the CD6 platform with the Explorer and Aviator.
