Thanks for all the comments! I have been quite busy these days working 80 hours a week; I'll post a few pics when I get a chance.

Congrats. I also recently traded my 2015 mustang GT for a 2016 SS. Only two things I miss about the GT. 1) the gas tank refill is on the left and 2) the headrest would tilt forward. But these are minor and 5k miles later no regrets.

I just sold my 2015 Mustang GT base auto with 3.55 gears as well. I had fun modding it and enjoyed the 2 years of ownership. My experience with the car is the complete opposite of yours. Sorry the car didn't do it for you. Odd considering you had 2 prior 5.0's so you should have been used to the way the motor was.

I just switched to a scat pack Charger because I needed more room and 4 doors, but didn't want to miss out having a fun RWD high powered V8.

I do love the 8 speed vs old 6 speed, even if it was stout.

Came close to purchasing a 16/17 SS sedan. Just wish they would have thrown the LT1 in there. That and jungle green was discontinued. Loved my G8 GT and figured I couldn't go wrong with another Holden.

Looking forward to see the comparisons on the 2018 Mustang and Camaro SS, and then the future competition.

I have no doubt the 18' GT will be great as well. Regarding the two GT's I had before; both were modded, one manual (couldn't get into the mt82) and the other auto. They were good at the time and were much better than my wifes 12' SS auto camaro. I went with the S550 at the time to try the latest and greatest mustang, not realizing how great the new Camaro SS had become...

I tested the scatpack as well and loved it's strong torque and sound as well as the comfortable interior; however, It was a bit pricey and heavy/large for my taste.

I'm not planning on modding at all and that's why factory stock performance is a priority for me. The GT wasn't cutting the mustard (in stock form) and I was ready for something different anyway.

Great post. I can agree with pretty much everything you said.

If you plan on modding, I think the GT is the better car to build. Again my opinion and I'm sure I'll catch some BS from this post.

If you want to stay stock I think the SS is definitely the better choice.

That's one of my favorite things about this car. I feel like it's the perfect amount of power for the car right out of the box. It's the only car I've ever owned that I didn't feel like it needs a bit more (or a lot more in some cases lol).
