2017 vs 2018 Mustang comparing the old s550 and the refresh

I don't mind the 18+ in some colors, I still don't like the front as much as the 15-17 but god damn am I jealous of the quad tip exhaust bumper. I might have to wait for someone to wreck a oxford white GT in a front impact and take the rear bumper (not like the bumper paints match the body anyways!)
I do like some of the changes they made on the interior which I'm going to incorporate into my car.
I'd still be leery of owning that DI system for a long time, maybe I'm just leery because of all of the BMW N54/N55 "walnut blasting" and high pressure fuel pump stories I've read about, I know Ford has additional injectors to combat carbon build up.

Eh, maybe it gets bad at real high miles, but my MS6 is fine at 88k
I'm not familiar with how Mazda set them up, BMW owners usually have to do walnut blasting every 40-50k miles but BMW setups (at least the older ones, not sure if they learned their lesson yet) don't have secondary injectors to wash the intake runners out.
Lots of the MS6 guys take theirs apart & blast too. Pretty much same nonsense.
You don't like lame wheels and the 4X4 look? New Edge, S197...the list goes on and on. We have discussed this for years, that your first order of business when you buy a new Mustang is to drop that bitch and get new wheels, yet Ford has done THE WORST job in doing this. The S550 is better in the stance category, but the wheels still suck. I should start a poll...which wheels are best: Schwinn spoked wheels from a 1970's ten-speed bicycle or stock rims from a 2007-09 GT500. LOL
pretty much this every single time I buy a mustang, wheels and drop...
Agree with most of this!
Recent wheels aren't bad. 11/12 GT500 wheels look great IMO.
I also like the black accent wheels on the 18+ cars. They aren't wide enough at 8.5", but the styling is not bad.
I had an 2007 GT with those "fanblades" as we used to call them. Good Lord! The only exception for me was my 2004 Terminator with the chrome wheels. They looked good, but the car still needed dropped.
But think about this...the 11/12 GT500 is a $50k-$60k car MSRP, for that money you should get a decent wheel!
The black accent package and PP wheels on the S550 are ok too, I agree. But have you seen the price tag for these cars? $40k+. Get some decent wheels and a more aggressive stance, please. You can keep your butt-warming seats and SYNC!
I like the 15-17 over the 18 so far, but I do like the bullitt a lot and I think the GT350 is one of the best looking factory cars ever. And overall the 13/14 is still the king IMO, basically got everything right.
Best wheels on any mustang to date I think are the PP2 wheels on the 2018 models:

Absolutely! Those are great looking wheels.
I totally forgot to mention those.

Is that yours, @Serpent ? That's a rare horse so far! Almost nobody seems to have their hands on a PP2 car.
I think the wheels on the '99 GT were pretty nice. So were the '99 Cobra wheels. And the '93 Cobra wheels. As well as the '87-'93 GT wheels.
