I drive alot around Baltimore and DC and S550s have been sparse, although you will see one from time to time. Even if Ford maintained years of its current sales, this car is still such a low volume and 'compromised' vehicle to be common, ever. It stands out and so many people notice it, day or night (those tails haha) and especially if you have color in it. Coming from a non-rental saturated market, this car is a fresh contrast to almost everything on the road. That includes even the best of the German sedans.

just means you have to differentiate yours from the rest of us :D

I'm in upstate ny and I only see maybe 3 or 4 other s550s on the road and only 1 of them is a GT.

There are, however, about a billion New Edge v6 Mustangs.

Dont see them around here much. Million people, I see one maybe once a week. When we went on vacation for a few weeks down south (AZ, CA), I saw about 25 a day.

Starting to see more and more s550s out here in Baton Rouge, but GTs are pretty rare, and especially GT verts, so I'm gonna enjoy this spotlight as much as I can :headbang:

Only seen 1 other GT convertible since I bought mine like 5 months ago, and that was at Robinson Brothers Ford show. I'm sure there are a few others around, but I just haven't come across any. Oh and I believe that one wasn't modded at all either, so yeah. Just need whoever that was that just bought a GT350 out here to keep that thing parked in the garage for me.

In LA there's tons of Teslas which is great given the smog problems they have.
In SD, most of the S550s I see (a lot) are V6 convertibles which probably means tourists with rentals. The GTs account for 20% or less of my sightings.
Lots of Tesla Model S in San Diego, too. Wow, what a shamefully boring-looking car against the S550. :ninja:

Anyone have the s550 sale figures so far? I never seen so many mustangs in my life! at least around here (Baltimore) and to my work (Annapolis). I see at least 4-5 each way every single day and sometimes even more. Starting to get that feel of "its just another mustang" What is it like around your travel routes?

But what mind-fuckingly fast car it is too. Kind of wish the Mustang has an Insane Mode on it actually :D

But in any case, I see tons of those around the greater parts of Houston, but I see a pretty good mixture of everything. Its about even with all models of the S550 too.

It's certainly more conservative in nature which is not bad. I really like the Model S design but it clearly is a different car for a different purpose when held up against something like a Mustang. I hope they succeed with their affordable model plan in the coming years.

Mustangs aren't really common here in Germany. My neighbor spotted one in its natural habitat (at the gas station :D). There are a few Americans who drive them around here but they are pretty rare.

There is a German Camaro I see parked near the equivelant of a Home Depot here. I have a feeling he's a boss at one of the local businesses.

Here in the Texas Hill Country, I only see Mustang GTs mostly. One RR Eco lives in my town but I'm the only vert so far. The local car shows and meet ups are populated by Coyotes and Ecos...and I'm the only Cyclone in attendance. Invariably, someone will come up and say, " hey, how does that S550 have a V-6? I heard that they phased them out for 2015". I just laugh heartedly!

Who would have guessed that having a v6 Mustang would be a rarity. :thumbsup:

I live in Southeast Michigan, I see more Mustangs(S550/S197/SN95/Fox/ect.) than all of you on a daily basis. Is it a bold claim? Maybe, but this is where Mustangs are born. :lol:

Every Mustang here is "just a Mustang" unless it's making crazy power numbers or it's been modded to be aesthetically pleasing or eye gouging. I honestly will not be surprised if GT350s are common sightings here in a couple years, I saw at least 20 This year alone.
