    Exhaust Crackling at Idle/Off

    Thanks. Not really... the car had been driven to and from the gym, about 10 minutes each way. Outside temperature about 60 degrees.

    Exhaust Crackling at Idle/Off

    Just wanted to ask if this is the experience of others as well. When the car is at idle, or just after I turn it off, the exhaust makes some crackling noises. It’s not dissimilar from the typewriter tick of the engine, but it’s coming directly from both sides of the exhaust with nothing from the...

    Leather Seats

    Noticed this on my seat (about the mid-back) after a long drive today. I wasn't wearing anything that could have done this…. just a black sweater. I tried removing it but no dice. Hoping something will work. Very annoying.

    Sun Visor Airbag Warning Sticker

    I can't speak to the specifics of how you did it, but anytime you remove a sticker like this from a car (or anything else, honestly, where residue might remain), make sure you hit it with heat. For the visor, leaving it with the sticker facing the sun for several hours should make it come off...

    Deprecation Value

    I drove my 2006 Mustang V6 for 18 years, and I still made a quarter of what I paid for it it back. (Granted, it would have cost a lot more in 2023 dollars when I sold it.)

    My twin found me -- 2024 GT Grabber Blue

    Brembos are cool, but certainly NOT worth $6K. You definitely came out on top!

    My twin found me -- 2024 GT Grabber Blue

    Smart move. I did the same as you. For someone like me that daily drives like 6 miles a day and doesn't race, I have more than I need. That extra cash can be used elsewhere. Beautiful car, by the way! Grabber Blue with Nite Pony is one of my favorite combinations.

    Is this an acceptable paint job?

    Smart move. I painted my mirror caps black too. The shop had to redo them as well. Apparently they are challenging to paint. Glad you got them fixed.

    Lets talk spoilers.

    The Performance Pack spoiler looks very similar to the standard Dark Horse spoiler in person. I didn't even realize there was a difference at first when seeing them side by side. I'd say get one of those in gloss black. Would look sick contrasting with Grabber Blue.

    Installing aftermarket Front Parking Camera?

    Yeah... feels kind of silly there aren't front sensors or a camera on these. At the very least it should be an option, especially on the higher-end models.

    FordPass/Battery & Clutch-in Tapping (Unrelated)

    I didn't want to post two threads, but I have two separate issues. The first is the battery. I got the car in October 2023, and it was one of those that was probably sitting around as it was built in June of that year. It's been my daily driver ever since. In recent months, I drive it to work...

    Unreal depreciation

    The more expensive the car the more noticeable the depreciation. Plus, it doesn't seem like many people are in a hurry to trade up their S550s for S650s. I live in a huge urban area and still don't see very many of them on the roads over a year later. Dealers, however, tend to have quite a few...

    Locking gas door/cap?

    This is a bit of a rant as someone tried to steal gas from my car overnight. What reason would a nearly $60K car in this day and age not have a locking gas door? There’s no gas cap below the door either, so it would seem to me especially important that the door have a way to secure itself...

    Do we think Ford is going to make an S650 GT500/Cobra?

    Affordable and Mustang is becoming less and less of a thing. I was watching Jay Leno's Garage the other day and he had a guy from Ford on there who said a 1960s (can't remember which) Mustang would cost $19,000 in today's dollars. When an actual GT costs at least twice that (or 3x that depending...

    Tire Pressure anomaly

    I've noticed what the car says (as well as the FordPass app) is sometimes different from what is actually measured by manually checking the car. Not by a lot, but by 2lbs or so.

    Molten Magenta Metallic S650 Mustang DELIVERED!

    Congrats! An interesting color for sure. Reminds me a bit of what I remember seeing on 90s Ford cars.

    Nice Rear End (Picture Thread)

    Here's my car's butt. The license plate is black now, which makes it like 5% sexier. The rest of it is the car.

    Hot take the s650 is better looking than the s550

    This isn't a hot take. They're obviously very similar and fit with the times they were designed. But the S650 is a sexier, edgier, bolder looking car.

    One Year Later...

    This weekend marks one full year with the Ghost. I felt like it was a good time to share my thoughts and mark the occasion. This is my second Mustang but my first GT, and the first manual I've ever owned. After my last Mustang, an S197 that I bought brand new (essentially as a kid) and drove...

    What is this plastic cover in the front bottom?

    Normal with the Performance Package. Not sure why though other than it just being an extra perk that comes with the Dark Horse where both sides are open.
