How do you not trade up?

It is the front and rear end I don't like about it. The front looks like a cat fish

and the rear looks like they forgot to install some trim pieces or something.

Lots of good thoughts in here. While I love the 2015+ body style (a lot), I love the 05-09 as well. I just bought my second 05 for a fraction of the cost of a new one. It's blown, so it has similar power to a new one, but I actually enjoy fixing the little things so that little voice in the back of my head that's telling me to throw ridiculous money at a 2016 is pretty quiet.

Da sex!

3V's and weak bottom ended '11-14 Coyotes!!!

Considering you spent tens of thousands on 'DA FISH' and yet you cheap out on some $300 springs so you lowered your car like this

 

[UltraKla$$ic]

Hahahahahahahaha!!!!

I like the side profile of the 15/16's though. It is just the front and back I am not to hot about. Also some colors really make it look like shit. Red, silver black and blue look pretty good.

If I had the funds to buy a new car (which I don't), I'd probably end up going FI with that money instead of buying new.

I really like the S550, however.

I'm struggling with this myself right now. Finish my build ( 324, stage 3 heads / cams, tr6060 and. 76 bb billet wheel turbo) or buy a 15 and a hellion kit. Tough choice.

It's easy for me. My 05 was my first car. I see all these stories of regret and missing there first car, I never want that to happen. So it won't!

Looks like a bullhead to me. Did someone sell you a bullhead and tell you it was a catfish? Lol.

By the time I finally get around to making the car just the way I like it, why on earth would I trade it off and start over? I've got a 2011 with MCS coil overs all around, a bunch of whiteline and BMR suspension parts, cobra jet intake, GT500 brembo brakes, T-56 magnum trans, and a few other odds and ends. Every upgrade the car has was the result of worn out parts that needed replaced. At this point the car has 263,000 miles on it and it's more awesome than it has ever been. I'm a lot more excited about turbos for my car than I am in the latest new thing at the dealership.

263K miles must be some kind of record ?

I mean, it's only an average of almost 66K miles/year. Darren'll have a stroke.

 

[durr4456]

Good lord that's a lot of miles for it's age.

Would love to see a year down of the engine to see how it has held up.
