Hi guys,
Long time forum lurker, and now finally a S550 driver. I've waited two months minus one day for this girl, and it was worth it!
Coming from the European side of things, Audi A4, and E90 330i, I can't believe the fit and finish of a base mustangs interior. I test drove the Ecoboost as well as the V6, and boy am I glad I made this choice. What a fantastic, powerful, reliable platform. My reasons for choosing the six over the Eco, simple:
1. Direct Injection - Do not want to walnut blast every 20k miles
2. Bad luck with my FI Audi A4, turbo is simply less reliable based on my experience
3. low-speed pre-ignition, detonation, with possible engine failure (Yikes)
4. 300HP is plenty, and getting more out of the EB via tune voids factory warranty, not something I would ever consider.
I will go as far as saying, that I would pay MORE for the V6, I think Ford has it backwards.
Anyway I love the car so far, and already did my first mod at 20 miles. I've always loved the look of the 19" AP wheels, so I picked up a set, 18" Foundry's will be used for winter wheels.
On order I have Steeda Progressive, and Llumar F1 Pinnacle series tint this Saturday.
The last three pictures, I did have some panel alignment issues, but I decided to tinker with it myself. Enjoy!
What do you think?
