lmao!

Solid choice. I'm curious about your opinion of how this car handles in comparison to your last one. I could only compare mine to a dated 14-yo platform. I can't tell if it is that much better than the predecessor.

I drove a 15 back to back to my 14, and its definitely significantly smoother, vastly less upset by poor road surfaces.

I still prefer my S197 to be honest (I vastly prefer the styling, and just like straight-line performance), but I do concede that the S550 is probably the better car for most people.

Very cool!

I like the look of my 2011 front end a whole lot. The quarters and roof line looked great as well. But the 2015 always caught my eye. The painted lower portion under the rear bumper isn't bad as the dark color makes it much less noticeable. I figured the options and technology inside were enough reason for me to switch. That and the mt82 in the 2011. The car is more comfortable to drive on the road. Since that is where I will be spending 98% of the time in the car I figured get a car I enjoy driving and that should be able to do the race things just as well as my 2011 did. I don't think I will match the ET of the old car. But I also don't plan to drag race this car much at all. So for the road course and street I am very happy with the switch.

When is there going to be a s550 sub forum?

 

[Mook]

I'm likely going to eliminate all all make/model sub forums by years end. #alllivesmatter

Dib for the win. Just don't buff it...

Why ?

 

[SleeperLS]

With as popular as DSG Cobras were, I'm surprised we're not seeing more magnetic S550's

I don't think I have seen one on the road yet. There is one in a dealership down the road and the color is much darker than the past. Maybe that is why? The DSG and SGM were more of a metallic dark silver. The magnetic is dark gray with some metallic in it. If I ended up in a 15, I don't think I would get the gray...too dark.

Yeah, why? Does DIB melt when you buff it?

@Beast had a Magnetic car on the lot when I picked up my 15. The color is kind of boring...even in the sun.

So was DSG

 

[Jeffs FRC]

Guard or white were my only other acceptable colors

What color is yours?

 

[SleeperLS]

Sterling gray metallic.

DSG and mineral gray were boring. Magnetic looks way better and less brown in the paint

Wonder what the insurance cost difference is between g8 and mustang.

 

[blakbearddelite]

For me, the Mustang is only an additional $3/month than the G8. I think it is bullshit. I'm either getting raped on the G8 or a great deal on the Mustang. But I bet it is neither, been needing to shop around since I've never had a ticket or accident.

Probably neither. My wife's Acura RDX is more expensive to insure than my S4 or 911 Turbo. Her record is squeaky clean and mine is almost squeaky clean. Sometimes it doesn't make any sense at all.

I'm sure g8 is more because of the cost for Australian body parts.

Gomez put Pollo on the lot and I'll come pick it up
