Why not buy the nicest Boxster or C6 you can find in your prince range and be DONE?

It’s funny I come across your post now. I was coming in to update that at this point, I really do have to go for the V8. I’ve waited years to get one, and now that I have the ability to get one, I continue to overthink it. All it took this weekend was to be around 2 s550 Coyotes on the street (coincidence?) where I was easily reminded why I’ve waited so long to get a GT.

It’s been more-so a maturity thing. I keep telling myself to continue to make smart financial decisions. Let’s face it, if the car I have now is getting me from Point A to Point B just fine, buying a new car isn’t “smart.” At the same time, life is short. And do I really want to wait until I’m 40? That’s why I resonate with you on the “now’s not the time” idea. The thing is, though, that’ll never change; when I’m in an even better situation 5 years from now, 15 years from now, I’ll always have that mentality. So I think it comes down to balance; just recognizing and having the awareness behind the decisions I make, and what I value at the moment and for the foreseeable future.

I’ll likely get an s550 V8, mainly because of the interior compared to the other mustang years. They’re in the price range I’m sticking with. I had a 4.0 V6 years ago, back when I knew nothing about cars. So, upgrading to the V8, i want to go for an s550 and not just another s197 model (or older). I’ll keep you posted brah, I appreciate your input.

they don't make them like this anymore SRS


bought mine in 2019 for 24k and it's now pushing 50. mine is extremely mint and 20k miles so I almost never drive it, but every time I do I hnnnnng

Yes. I have some decent experience with cars on many levels. The S2k is a very special platform. The incredible thing is just how well balanced a car it is. But of ANY car ever driven, it has the best manual trans hands down.

It is a car that you can draw analogies like a musical instrument. It is not just going to give you instant gratification by just possessing lots of power and only requiring you to push the accelerator. BUT, if you know how to 'play it' the most beautiful and rewarding things happen. Things you simply cant get out of other cars. Such a wonderful car and truly timeless!

My sons is was a 1-owner vin matching no accident car. His has 115k miles. But that is great since he just loves to drive it. He can really make the car do it's thing. The S2K is very sensitive to lift off over steer so have to be careful to apply throttle before apex of corners. If you use it right, the chassis is wonderful. In the hands of someone who does not know how to drive, it's corner snap oversteer will assure the car ends up bent.
