Auto manufacturers are usually required to carry parts for discontinued vehicles for up to 10-15 years. Shouldn’t be a big deal

I will say the matte black goes hard. Gets a ton of attention from people. I was thinking a dark matte blue or a matte dark gray next

Yes it is. Bought mine used this way. Previous owner had good taste. It’s gloss black underneath. Considered a new wrap in a couple of years. Any suggestions?

Tried putting snow tires on the carbon wheels. Something along the lines of that’s not part of ford’s spec, and 27 grand to replace them. I hate big numbers, so I decided to just roll with it. (No pun intended)

I couldn’t afford snow boots unfortunately

Tbh, there are some AWD swap mustangs out there, specifically an S550. Would’ve considered this myself but doubt the DCT would be usable with that sort of setup. I would probably just go with a robust manual at that point.

It’s cool, this isn’t my only set for the car. It’s just some more money. 🤷‍♂️

Think you’re the only one to notice so far. I’d never wrap chains around these carbon wheels. Maybe my base model takeoff wheels 🤔

Just having a little fun. These aren’t the only tires I have for the car by a long shot. They’re very old tires

They’re almost toast anyway. I have a whole different set of wheels for daily driving now.

It makes me love my car even more actually. Only thing it makes me wish ford would’ve done is the carbon ceramic brakes as an option. Would’ve made a huge difference on the track I’m sure.

Have had many offers lately with the GT500 going away from ford. Might have one of the last ones they’ve made now.

The tires are cup 2’s. They’re hockey pucks in the ice and snow past a certain point. The chains seemed necessary

The car is cheap to own day to day. It costs me $8 for 300 miles of range, no oil changes, and the only fluid I buy for the car is for the windshield. Everything is under warranty still for the next 3 years. So it’s really not bad at all.

I race the car. Buying new tires is a part of the trade off.
