Looks like that Cover with the Port could be retrofitted into a S550?

I think it's especially the prominent plastic trim, which can also be found on other manufacturers cars (e.g. BMW), that makes it kind of common. Perhaps just too fashionable for my taste. It doesn't help, everyone has to find the right one for themselves. Others find the Mustang attractive...

Thanks for the comparison! 👍 It confirms that I'm on the right track with the S550. 🙂 In my opinion especially in black, the S650 looks very bland next to the S550. 🤷‍♂️

Single tip exhaust! :clap:

The currently available options list says the opposite. It also says so earlier in the thread. Also, it's meaningless if your butt is too wide or your back is too hunched for the Recaros. :wink: PS: My bum and my hump seem to fit perfectly.

That picture summarizes my impression when my wife and I first test drove a S550 without Recaros [we have only the option premium seats (electric, w/ cooling & heating) or Recaros over here]. That's how different the impression can be. :wink: Yes, the Recaros are reasonably tight, but that's...

The Recaros were supposed to come with heating and cooling for the S650? Was that canceled? For me, the Recaros are the only alternative, the normal stools are no good, no matter how many gimmicks they offer.

Apparently sayings with poor men doesn't exist over there? But what I mean should be clear? If you have enough money for a mid-engine sports car, you don't buy a mid-engine Corvette.

That would be the end of the next legendary vehicle. The Corvette lost its iconic design thereby and became the poor man's mid engine super sports car. Not to mention that mid engine makes no sense with e-drive. Or does anyone really believe that there will be another new development like this...

This happens especially when the engineer has not been in a field job and done hands-on work. In extreme cases, we called such engineers best-paid apprentices. I had to deal with this in an industrial environment during my time as a field technician before becoming an engineer myself.

Let's face it, such problems are always down to the businessmen and managers who don't listen to the engineers they later blame.

Here you have something to compare with. I think Nissan did a better job than Ford.

As I said, than it's no longer a bread and butter car. The production volume would certainly decrease. Over here, the S550 is also only offered as a PP with most option already in. Base is not available here at all.

The obvious has already been addressed here. The fat must go! What you could save on suspension and rims alone... ...from the removal of unsprung mass benefits not only the exhaust emissions. This costs money, of course, then the Mustang will soon no longer be a bread and butter car. With e.g...

Ezra Dyer is wrong! The Mustang is a vehicle from a special vehicle category. From a European perspective, the V8 is not unreasonably called "GT". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grand_tourer#Characteristics If you take away the characteristics of a vehicle, you take away its soul. Especially...
