To buy or not to buy?
#21
I got a 2015 GT in February, so far I love it man. But that is just something subjective.
I had a 2012 V6 for a Little Longer than three years, I did gears, headers, intake, tune on that one and put it mid 13s, overall it was fun, I beat a few stock v8s, like a Challenger R/Ts and the firsts 5th Gen Camaros and bunch of 3v Mustangs, but when I got the 2015, everything was ****ing different, the first time I took it to the strip, with 20" TSW wheels I ran a best of 13.2 completely stock. I am by no means an expert drag racer, just been to the track a couple times and I can say the 5.0 is way better than the V6.
As for the body, personally I love it, but as other people mentioned, if you don't like it, you don't like it. The Interiors are better looking in S550 than the S197, even the base models (but again that is just an Opinion).
When my I got my 2012 back in December 2011 a friend of mine got himself and Audi A4, nothing particularly fancy, and man every time I jumped into his car, I always was jelly on how cool and good looking the interiors are compared to the plastic buttons, ***** and switches that the S197 has, the S550 fixed this a little bit, they're better looking and the quality improved.

To me there is really no sensible comparison between the Camaro, Dodge & Mustang. The styling is quite different, so you have to get what you like. As an
"Old Chevy Guy", the Mustang gives me more bang for the buck & gets my vote! Dodge's are still nice, but Camaros lost me when they got the "Smiley Face Transformer" look! It's just a matter of taste!

Yeah, it just came down to having a very hard time swallowing the front end of the car... If they somehow use the Saleen front fascia the car would have been a buy on the spot deal for me, but the huge open face grill was a killer for me.
I have never sat and debated a Mustang Purchase as much as I did the S550, I jumped on every single stang from my 88 5.0LX to my 2014 GT without ever having to "Think it over"
This was just one of those... had to think moments and in the end I found the Mach and decided it was more the car for me because I had always wanted a Mach just never found one at a good price or in good condition used I was willing to jump on.
