That's a legitimate good looking wheel. What are the tire sizes? Edit-aahhhh more pics 275s I see
Oh sweet! Another PP wheel option. Those tires look meaty. Also look like Roush wheels.

I like all of the changes/refinements but the front end windshield forward.

The lines are just weird. On the 15-17 the lines at least make sense. The top and bottom grills together for sort of an open mouth effect. The grill shark look goes from top to bottom in one straight line. If you look at the lines there is a method to the madness there.

This revamp just looks all over the place and looks like they just stuck a lower grill shape on for the sake of it.

I also dont like the hood at all. It's way too flat now. Muscle cars used to have big bulging hoods for the big engines and air cleaners. That's the tantamount of a muscle car look. This just looks SO wimpy compared to the 15 to 17s.

No matter what refinements you couldn't pay me enough to trade my 2015 for one. I'd really like that digital speedo display and perhaps an option for PP on auto. Magnaride too.

The active exhaust meh, I would still go aftermarket its too quiet. Have aftermarket wheels 20x10 wheels too that I like. 20 or 30hp can be gotten easy enough right now for not too much money. The 10 speed auto, no thanks. Im not sure what fun paddle shifting 10 gears would be, sounds like an awful busy experience.

Calling out OKC #1 spot after axle back install.
You will learn to love it!

You are all just a little salty about seeing what replaced your 15-17 mustangs.:D
It has happens to every mustang at some point. 11-12 guys hated on the new 13-14, 11-14 guys hated on S550 and now its our job as S550 owners to hate on the new refresh.
*Most of the 11-14 guys I know are now happy s550 owners.*

I for one can't get enough of this car, keep in mind this these are just factory cars. Nothing but an improved platform to build upon.
I just hope ford will give us some of that light weight F150 loving.

I am excited to see how the car will react to the new increase in compression ratio. (11.0:1 to 12.0:1)

Would love to see Kona Blue with dual white racing stripes.

I wonder if there will be a different lower fascia option. This looks like the lower part of a car with adaptive cruise control.

With:



Without:

I'm really hoping they continue the gloss back mesh screen on that bottom area w/o the adaptive cruise control option.

I wonder if weight will remain the same? Internals?
Nope the weight seems to go even higher, especially with the premium models. All the new features and safety features should bump the weight up unless they used aluminum on the sheet metal.

Well my plans to get a premium bumper have changed. I wonder if the new rear bumper will retrofit as well as the tail lights.

Anyone post this yet? (apologies if it had been)

More cracks and "backfire" sounds now? I'm assuming it is done artificially. :shrug:

I'm just curious about what they've done to re-work the MT82 and if it could be retrofitted to my '16.

Damn it. I want the performance updates badly. New look is neither here nor there but the active exhaust, 10 speed, and improved power are of great interest to me.
