Not me, I think the 24's are hideous. I like some of the new tech but I can't get past the awful look of the car. I don't even like the 18+ refresh on the S-550's.

It looks to much like a Slow-maro. Although, one might consider buying one and hiding it away in the back of their garage because odds are good it might be the last V8Mustang, which will make it highly collectable in a few years.

Yeah, that's not very likely. I mean, if Ford wanted to shoot themselves [directly] in the face then that would be a good way to do it.

I would like too....but both my wife and I are due new Daily Drivers. Cant stuff 3 kids into the back of an S650, so Explorer ST is what i'm looking at.

I like the way Ford is taking the Mustang. Wasn't a fan of the 05-'14 Mustang, but the S550 and S650 have my attention

I have one. Throw a custom tune, a bigger intercooler and an E30 mix and hold on. I did those mods to mine an my best .25 mile time is a 12.09@112.3 mph and a 3.75 0-60. It's quick as hell, especially for a 5K lb SUV. If you get one, come on over to https://www.explorerst.org/ and join up. I learned a lot about my ST from them.

It's tempting, but I still only have about 9500 miles on my 2017, so I really don't drive it enough to warrant getting a new one.

2019 is about as new as I would go. To many electronic nannies that I despise on the newer cars. Of course it would have to be the Bullitt Edition in Hyland Green. Then I would do the unthinkable and take the 6 speed manual out and put a 10 speed auto in it.
The only other mods I would make would center around weight reduction instead of power mods.

I managed to convince my dad to consider the Dark Horse. He was itching for a new Vette but didn’t like the pricing. We shall see if this really happens but he wants himself some sort of retirement sports car. A new S650 might fit the bill.

Any truth to Ford really locking the tuners out of this one with the exception of their partners like Roush, Saleen, and Shelby?

My wife ordered one today. Yellow GT Premium Fastback. Added black vinyl racing stripe. Active value performance exhaust GT 10 Speed A/T. Bunch of other options to include the B&O sound system with 12 speakers. We stopped at AutoZone on the way home and she bought me a new bucket and car wash sponge and blue core car wash...............................?????
