How many are regretting

[RLE55]

The temptation to go back to a S550 (Mach 1 or even a GT350) is there,

If I could afford it, my temptation would be the iconic 69 Boss 429.

1.5 yrs later....

Regret, no.

Still wishing for tuning and interest in general and sales to pick up for this car, yes.

The temptation to go back to a S550 (Mach 1 or even a GT350) is there, but thanks to the market, many of us are upside down badly on these cars.

Looks like the Mustang sold 2399 units in January 2025 compared to 3771 units in Jan 2024 so -36%.

Good grief. It’s only one month, but still…

Regarding interest, I remember watching parts installation videos on YouTube from LRM, CJ’s, American Muscle, etc., all the time in the early S550 days. There’s barely any videos for the S650. I still don’t think I’ve seen a Borla install video from any of the channels yet, unless I missed it.

OK dont shoot me.....but .....

I still think they made a mistake with the screens (well not the screens but not integrating the screens)
No tuning is hurting
I mean the cars are DAMN fast with a whipple- but I think....well I think we are seeing the same thing with the S650 GT350 - people are tired of seeing the same motor with the same whipple in 1000 different variations - outside of some different exterior mods....the only option is whipple or no whipple and I think people are bored/ over it

How many videos can you do on an S650 with a whipple?

Im not going to get into which looks better S550 vs. S650 because I think they both are great looking cars- but why would anyone move from an S550 to an S650 when you cant tune them and the pricing is way higher ...

I do not hate my screen, but honestly, I've seen FAR better integration of that theme recently in other brands. Ford says they focus grouped designs for the new IP I have to say they did not bring in MUSTANG owners for the groups.

Yeah, they are fast with a Whipple... but that is just that, a $10-12k cost just to get anywhere, NA builds are what most Mustang owners want. Tuning is critical for that,

No regrets here at all. After nearly 4K miles I smile every gear change with the H-Pipe. Addicting sounds to be honest.

Things I miss: The illuminated cup-holder and Tuning.

My only regret so far is NOT having bought a 2024. I couldn't get the wife to go ahead with the purchase, and the pricing changed. The 6MT used to be about $8k less expensive. So, we ended up with a 2025, but paid a bit more.

My only regret is not buying two or three of them while I was at it.......

 

[LouG]

My regret is not being able to afford a DH 6 spd as well.

 

[Puddinpop]

No regrets but wish tuning would hurry up and get here. I'm ready to start really spinning this Roush.

 

[Ducatti20]

9 months and just shy of 10k miles in.
Absolute favorite car ever. Will do the Ford Performance tune when it finally comes out just because I'll be able to but this car is perfect and a total joy to drive.

 

[jexsk]

Nearly 2 years in and no regrets. The car is far from perfect but I love it all the same. The only thing I would consider trading it in for at the moment would be a new GT500 when they come out but they’ll probably be a bazillion dollars so I foresee a Whipple in my future instead

still wish I got a 22 Shelby GT 500, but no regrets on getting my 24. Waiting to see price/performance on the rumored new Shelby GT 500, before I decide on whipple or not

 

[Paul's stable]

Haven’t bought mine yet officially but mind me asking why you regret not getting a 2023 instead?

The only regret of my Dark Horse is that it's Shadow Black I wash it turn my back to get the cover and poof it's dirty again. It looks awesome when clean but hard to keep it that way.

What does not integrating the screens mean?
