Nope to both. Still not feeling it.

I still prefer the '17 front bumper. I think a cowl hood, or perhaps other aftermarket hood, would really make the '18 front end pop. Both need a more aggressive splitter IMO.

The S550 is growing on me. There are styling details that I like on the '15-'17, and others that I like on the '18. I have to say that my favorite S550 is the GT-350. If I were to choose an S550, that would be my pick. I think Ford did an awesome job on it.

not at my post...
The right wheels make all the difference with these cars too, most of the factory wheel options have sucked ass, need some width, concavity and a little lowering :D

How wide of a wheel & tire can you fit in the back on these?

My buddy didn’t run... his knee was bothering him.

My car went [email protected] almost exactly what car’s the on board timer had me at!

Weather wasn’t the best at ~2800 ft DA on that pass.

Was a fun night though!

I have an e85 file on my laptop right now that I’ll load onto the car next week some time and go after it again and see how she does.

For as long as I can remember, Ford wheels have looked like a 5th grader designed them. ****ing terrible.

S550 always reminded me of a modern SN-95. I was hoping the 2018+ was going to be like the New Edge. And that's all I can say because if you don't have nothing nice to say don't say nothing at all.

My biggest beef with the S550 is the sloping rear roof line. It makes the car look like the ass end is sagging no matter what you do it’s almost impossible to fix it. Irritates me.

The best looking recent mustang in my opinion is still the 13/14 S197.
