To Buy or Not to Buy: The S550 Ford Mustang

Hey everyone, we’re back on threepiece.us with a hot topic – the S550 Ford Mustang. Affectionately known as the Crowd Killer, this car has earned its stripes, but it’s not without its quirks.

A Muscle Car Through and Through

The Mustang has been a staple in the muscle car world for generations, and the S550 is no exception. From the 4-cylinder EcoBoost all the way to the roaring 5.2 Voodoo V8, there's something for everyone. Yet, it's the 5.0 that steals the spotlight – just look at any car forum, and you'll see what we mean.

Notorious for a Reason

Yes, this car has independent rear suspension, a first for the Mustang, but that hasn’t stopped some of us from finding trouble. The S550 has its share of crash videos circulating the web, earning it a reputation. But let's not forget, it's also the best-selling muscle car of all time.

Customization Galore

With the S550, the world is your oyster when it comes to customization. Yet, we often see the same GT500 front bumper and mismatched drag pack. Remember, cosmetic mods are an easy first step, but that exhaust and E85 tune? That’s going to hit the wallet.

The S550 Community

The best part? These cars are everywhere. From full bolt-on 5.0s to the old lady in the drop-top V6, you’re joining a diverse group of enthusiasts. Just be ready for the inevitable comparisons.
