Pros:
- The car looks much more aggressive in person compared to in the pictures. The front lower grill, especially on the SS, looks incredible.
- The quality of the interior is very good.
- The NPP exhaust is very raspy, loud and mean. It sounds louder and more raspy than the NPP in my 2014 but it may be my imagination.
- The wheels certainly appear to be a step above the standard RS/SS.
- Heads up display is improved.

Cons:
- The interior is very noticeably smaller for a person my size (6'4", 280lbs). It is nice that there is soft leather where your legs/arm touch but I still think my '14 would be a more comfortable ride fit wise. I could not fit in the generation six sunroof version yet I fit in my generation five with sunroof just fine. I also sat in two of the new Corvettes they had there and can't believe anyone over 6' can fit in those.
- While I like the styling it is still noticeably less aggressive than the fifth generation. It is certainly softer on the lines.
- The placement of the center vents would probably become problematic if you have an M6 and like to rest your hand on the shifter.

Verdict:
- I really like the car but not enough to give up my '14 SS. I would certainly consider buying one when it comes time to start modding my current car and find a new daily driver. I do not like that the car got smaller and if that were to get even smaller in the generation seven then I would be out of the market for one. I really hope they don't go the way of the corvette which is comically tiny.
The blowers can be adjusted I believe... And anyways I dont think you are supposed to keep your hands on the shifter... There are very high chances you will damage the shifter fork

I suppose if you're yanking on it, but I was referring to just resting it on there. I don't personally do that but was providing insight for anyone who does.

In the owners manual there is a provision that shows you can change the volt meter to vacuum boost. I guess it's sort of an ode to the old cowl induction days. Can you take a picture of the gauge cluster showing the vacuum boost?

omg i´m 6.6 and i would not go without a sunroof....i drove a C7 e few days and fit in hardly.
hm, had no problems in a Gen5 which was far better than outgoing Mustang. But the 2015 Stang improved very much inside, i can sit in very very comfortable ! But they dont offer a f... sunroof and no HUD ; IDIOTS.

Correct, only the 2SS has the Bose system. 1SS system sounded fine for what it is.

I personally felt the legroom in the front was actually about the same as in GEN 5......maybe the footwell is a little narrower, but not enough for most to worry about.

Legroom is not a problem, I have long legs and I fit fine. Even was able to move the seat up quite a bit.

Exactly...but rear is fine for smaller kids, I tested that out on Wednesday night, good for shorter trips.

The rear is definitely for kids. I'm 5'9" and I had to duck down and inch or two to keep my head off the roof. Leg room was good enough with the front seat set to my liking.

Yeah definitely for kids, or if you want to squeeze an adult in for a quick trip. My 8 year old son fit fine, he loved it. My kids will be in the back from time to time for short trips, but I already have another vehicle for trips, big items, and to act as a family vehicle, ao back seat is fine for my needs. Anyone that thinks otherwise needs to look at other types of vehicles.

Rear seat is absolutely useless. I'm only 5'4 but even with the driver's seat at a comfortable position, there was barely any rear legroom. I saw a few taller folks adjust the seat to where there was zero rear legroom.
