Ownership Verified: Stevanfords 2018 Mustang GT

[stevanford1]

So finally decided to bite the bullet and get myself into a Mustang. 10 speed car with Recaros and Magnaride.

In Australia, active exhaust and the digital dash are standard features. The only options we can order are magnaride, Recaros, wheels and spoiler.

Jumped on this car because I desperately wanted one with the Recaros.

Nice! Lovely color too with a unique stripe. Will this be as fast as some of your other Fords have been? ?

How many S550s across the globe does this make for Final Gear?

I'm counting 3. This one, @Nabster and @Crazyjeeper

@MacGuffin has one, too.

Derp. Forgot literally the only FG S550 I've actually seen IRL and sat in.

There's S550 Mustang representation on three continents now!

S550 is the new MX5.

S550 is the new MX5.

Disagree, it's only the new MX5 when it's a convertible Mustang.

Pro: Nice car, great colour, and the wheel is on the correct side.
Con: You went full Mustang Homo and fell for the rally stripe.
Pro: The assymetrical strip actually works.

Haha bought the car used and stripe was already on there. I hate the thing but all my friends and family love it.

I keep meaning to test drive one of these with magneride. I'm wondering how much I goofed in not opting to get it.

Nice car regardless. Though the asymmetrical stripe is does not look right to me.

The stripe annoys me as well. I want it off the car. In regards to Magnaride, if I bought the car brand new, I wouldn't have optioned it but it is better than the standard suspension.

Took it out to the drags last night. Ended up doing a shit load of runs with a best of 12.52@116mph. Thought it was pretty good for a stocker. Will look at doing a CAI, headers and x pipe in the new year and try get into the 11s as a daily.

Nice times! Congratulations!

These cars seem to respond really well to those mods. Throw some E85 in on that and you'll be just that much quicker.

Stripe is finally off. Car looks so much better without it IMO.

Not much in the way of an update but recently got the car ceramic coated. Waiting until I get my tax return to start buying BMR rear suspension bits and driveline parts for it in anticipation for some power.
