      Congrats, it looks just like the one I bought except Black. I almost bought a black one from Autonation in Frisco but I scored that Kona Blue Pearl from a dealer in Arkansas.

      Oh and be prepared to be cussing when you are cleaning those wheels, they suck! They look good but are a PITA to clean, especially being black. I'm having a clear bra installed as we speak, so when I get it back I'm going to put some ceramic wax on them to help keep them from dusting up.

            And in case you haven't tried them yet, those Brembos work.
            I had some asshat that was lost and just decided to stop in the middle of the road yesterday, the car in front of him barely stopped and if it wasn't for those brakes, my new 5.0 would be fubar today.

                If I was going to buy a new one, that's what it would look like. I think I'd like the new wheels more if the rears had some dish. What size tires are you running back there? Those look healthy.

                  those are 325/30/19's on the back. on an 11inch wheel.

                  I am thinking of sending these off and having them PVD coated chrome. The picture when I bought them looked way more silver.

                      Did you sell your old wheels and tires? If you still have them I may be interested at the right price.

                      Also when your new wheels get PVD chrome coated let me know who, how much and post pics, I'd love to see how they turn out...

                        Rick, I still have the old wheels and tires. The tires are worn out. Back have tread to drive on but I wouldnt drive in the rain with em. The Front tires have bad inside wear (some steel belting showing). They still have the TPMS sensors in them so any price for the wheel would have to take that into account. Those fuckers are pricey. Basically you would get the tires for free

                        The wheels are the staggered set.
                        19x9 in front
                        19x9.5 in back

                          Careful. He'll try to diddle you, for sure.

                              I went to Cedar Creek Lake drag strip last night (1/8th mile) Best time was an 8.09. The damn computer kept pulling power even with advanced trac off in Drag mode. it would hit 3rd or 4 th (sometimes in 1st and 2nd) and just fall on its face after a little wheel spin. At some point I read that the 6G mustang computer will still interfere with the advanced trac turned off, and my track expierence confirmed this. I found few threads about disabling the nannies fully by pulling a plug under the hood. I am stoked to get out there again and try running with this plug unplugged.

                              There was one run where it shifted into 4th and lost a little traction and I thought I broke something. My foot was on the floor and it wasn't doing shit....no pedal what so ever. I let out and looked around, pressed the pedal again and the car proceeded to accelerate again.

                              Apparently this isn't new information to some people, but I thought I would post it up here. I was at the track last night, and met another S550 owner who used to be a ford tech. He showed me this little jumper plug Ford put in the traction/stability control system. When removed it completely...



                              FYI for anyone interested. I would love to hear back from anyone unplugging this plug at the drag strip. It will be a little while until I can make it to the Dragstrip again.
