Your arguments would hold more water is you actually owned a S550 instead of an archaic SN95. The 03’ was/is an awesome car in its own right but the S550 is superior in every category.LOL at the poser attack. Pot meet kettle.
i drive a 2003 Cobra with a tremec six speed and know how to drive it thank you.
That said, if it had a DCT option, I’d have taken it. As much as I love shifting (except-in SoCal rush hour. It’s why my daily is an auto SUV), the consistency without slamming the transmission is not nearly as good. There should be the option.
You sound like the guy who doesn’t care about winning and is content shifting during his fly by at the end of a losing race. That’s fine. But don’t knock those who like getting the most out of the power the mustang has.
the idea of having the better car is not to “flex” (although there is a time for that. And your better have the bigger biceps, or you’ll just look lame for trying). It’s about enjoying the most out of what you bought. And if you dont, it may be true that you are not an enthusiast. That’s ok. But it’s a it strange to knock those of us who are enthusiasts for wanting more to be enthusiastic about.
the mustang is exactly for me and people like me. I don’t want a Tesla Or a Mach e or any other e-jellybean. I want the mustang. The American icon hot rod in a sports car silhouette. We will see what the s650 has up its sleeve in a couple years when the meaningful performers launch. But I’m not only talking about the s650. I’m talking about beyond. Try to keep up.
the Cobra set the template for s550 to gain IRS across the board. It’s funny how the IRS was controversial to some back in the day, leaving some to forget about the supercharged power and superior handling of the cobra in order to have more drag strip friendly SRA of the Mach 1. I believe the move to AWD will be similar. A hi-po mustang gets AWD and some will complain (like they did with thegt500 DCT - which allows it to be as fast as it can via RWD). If it will be seen as the best performing. And a generation or two later, most, if not all tiers will have it. It’s called progress. The mustang deserves to improve. there are old mustang for those who want to live in the past.
The S650 will be an evolutionary update to the S550. The revolutionary changes you are asking for will need to wait until the electric S750.
