Been in an S550 since 2015. Drove the S650 yesterday. It's definitely an upgrade... transmission, brakes, suspension and interior are all improved, IMO.
Thanks Tyler for letting me be in the video and for the viewers to see some of the differences in the s650 vs the s550. It was definitely a good bit of a difference between the two and I love comparing them. I can’t wait to see what you do with your grabber blue s650!
Finally someone admitting the 18-23 front end is hideous. That’s why i kept my 15 GT till the 24 was announced. Even Ford knew thats why the 24 was styled after the 15-17.
I would buy the 2023 s550 instead. The most updated and touched upS550 (I’ll fix the horsepower difference ;D). To me the 401A interior with the Digital dash was much better integrated than the s650. I for one also prefer the physical A/C, the actual buttons (fighter jet switches) instead of haptic pads, and the infotainment being a little dated doesn’t bother me. Evidently there’s a fix for that too. Also with the exterior, I much prefer the s550 rear, and while the front end does show the most of the improvements, I still like the s550 front end, nothing wrong with it. The exhaust from stock to stock is also +1 s650, and power is better, but those are things that can be made up for without that much extra expense. To me in my opinion, the s550 is a much smarter way to go in the long run. I’m sure the s650 has nice gadgets and cool modern tech, but I just don’t know how confident I am in the longevity of the haptic pads and the complications of HVAC being on a tablet solely. I’ll see if ford updates some things retroactively before making a jump to the next gen, but I doubt it gets retro’d from here on out. Still a solid car in a general sense, I just nitpick cuz I was considering it. None of those things are dealbreakers, for those considering an s650.
Well said assessment. I went with the 2023 S550 because of what you stated but you can go wrong with the S650 if that's your cup of tea. Both cars are amazing for sure.
Hey great comparison video, I have 2015 S550 and I love the look. It is going to be totally up to the individual as someone has already stated. But I love all nice rides , that is why having variety is the spice of life for us car people. I cannot wait for your mods to begin , enjoy the journey man.
I got a 22 S550 in Petty Blue, I just liked the appearance in the nose over the 650. Also I have the digital dash but it's a dash not an IPad screen. 650 is great I just prefer the S550 more. Enjoy your new ride, love the color 💙
I totally agree with him the s650 front end and the s550 rear end seems about right, the only way to sort of make the s650 rear end sort of look a bit more manageable is to get it in black, it hides some of the weird lines put into it and makes it work really nice.
I'm not crazy about the s650 rear end either, but mine has the performance package with the big spoiler, my car is white but the spoiler is gloss black, and I've got the painted roof also that's gloss black, it really helps out the looks of the rear end.
Well I’m certainly experiencing hood strut envy - nice to see Ford finally ponied up for them. Remote revving, no one may annoy the neighbors from the comfort of one’s own home. The 24 is growing on me, although I still prefer the retro interior in my 2020. All those screens - I think this is a younger person’s car. Enjoy that V8! It’s still the king and I still have some regret not getting a 5.0.
Dude, love the 2 different blues, i got a 19 ecoboost premium on velocity blue, love that color but if ima be honest, i would love to get the s650 on race red with the black package and red interior
@daily_driven yeah for sure, my top 3 colors for the s650 are grabber blue, race red and yellow splash, which i tried doing the red interior with yellow splash and wouldn't let me for some reason lol
Easy choice. For overall performance. A 2024 S650 GT or Dark Horse. For a great budget Mustang. Again. A 2024 S650 EcoBoost. .The S550 was showing it's age especially with the interior and from it's decline in sales. If they don't sell they get discontinued like Chevy with the Camaro.
Nice cars. What part of Georgia is that. Me and my wife are moving up to the Roswell Ga area. Looking to hopefully find sound local carshows to bring my 19 GT pp1 too
Wow Ford's cost cutting and epa pressure is so apparent. Prevents them from making something crazy. Remember before you judge this car, Dodge and gm backed out of dealing with the govt building cars. This was a tough task for Ford losing almost 5 billion dollars on evs this year, and not to mention the strikes. The best investment would be a tremec dark horse if you can get a handling pack for 70k. There's already a long wait list and the handling pack is exhausted.
S550 interior is WAYYY better.. more character and personality. Flat screens are really bland with digital Gimmicks. Sorry. but thats the downside of the S650

Absolutely man!! Great time shooting this together! Thanks for meeting up! Your car is looking 🔥 for sure! 😎

I love the way my 22 front end looks like but I do really like the front end of the S650. It’s really growing on me

Thanks man! Very well said! First Mod video coming very soon! 😁👍
Both beautiful car. Grabber is very vibrant and atlas has that classy metallic look.

Nice!! Yeah I do wish they integrated the screens better into the dash. The s550 digital cluster has a nice look! Thank you!
you haven't seen the dash in person then
@srt998 no up close on video from the dealership I got my 22 from. I am more old-fashioned I guess.
@@jimlafreeda43I love the look of my interior. I drive a 21 GT so many I'm biased.

The S650 rear is the most attractive part of the car. It looks muscular with a great stance. It’s a big improvement over the S550 rear.
Hey guys! Let me know what your opinions are on the S650 vs S550! 👍
Well made video dude keep it up!
What screen did Chris have in his S550? For me, I love the interior of the S650 but love the exterior of the S550.
Does Chris have a you tube video on his infotainment screen
Nice finally seeing you in the mustang Chris. Didn’t wait long to bag it
Heck ya! I love this mustang! It’s so nice. I’m glad I did it. The s650 that Tyler has in this video really is amazing. I loved seeing it.
I have a dark horse on order so when it arrives you guys are more than welcome to review it. Currently only have a gen 2 5.0 premium so a bit boring
@@anthonywoodall407 I can’t wait to see your dark horse! We will have to get together for that
S550 is prettier

You can just buy aftermarket hood struts problem solved
Yeah... something about having to control my A/C through a screen doesn't sit with me.. especially if it breaks.
Dude, love the 2 different blues, i got a 19 ecoboost premium on velocity blue, love that color but if ima be honest, i would love to get the s650 on race red with the black package and red interior
Oh nice! I really like velocity blue too! Can’t go wrong with Red!

550 all the way. a genuinely pefect blend of modern and old school.
Much prefer the S550 design. Especially the interior. Not a fan of all the iPads across the dash in the S650.
Nice cars. What part of Georgia is that. Me and my wife are moving up to the Roswell Ga area. Looking to hopefully find sound local carshows to bring my 19 GT pp1 too
Awesome! This is in Cumming GA. Sounds good lots of cool events around here!
@@daily_driven I thought it looked like Cummings around the lake Lanier/ Buford dam areas. Absolutely love that area
S550 fs just looks better and makes more power
S550 does looks great! Doesn’t make more power stock for stock though.
@@daily_driven no hate but dynos are showing other wise lol
I wonder if there’s a company out there that will make s650 front bumpers compatible for s550 😂 id probably get that or Mach 1 bumper
Haha I would guess they will at some point!
Nice vid my dude 💪🏻
Thanks man! 🙏🙂

You can get a ZL1 for 72k....650hp
You can get a base c8 for 68k
When is the next video
Should be out tomorrow 🙂👍
I log the S650
The s650 with that wrx rear diffuser 🤥
I’m worried about the 2024 having So much electrics and will it have problems down the road. You are gonna need a IT guy to fix it. Lol
What? No roll race?
Not yet, still breaking the car in. But once I have more miles on the car I think we will have to do that!
S650's front looks like it ran into a wall
I love the new mustang Ford power forever baby keep on pulling the knot out of them boties and the horns off them mopars l love it
S550 looks like an Asian car in comparison to the s650
S550 interior is WAYYY better.. more character and personality.
Flat screens are really bland with digital Gimmicks. Sorry. but thats the downside of the S650
