Curious if there is an owner’s kit for the Dark Horse?

Review the Warranty again. Racing will void the Warranty. HPDE is not racing and Ford and Ford Performance know this. It's important for the owner to know this too.So you want your warranty voided? lol
Over on the S550 forums people are getting their warranty denied because they took their car to an HPDE event .... even though the failure took place on the street.....
You are right but not in the eyes of Ford.Review the Warranty again. Racing will void the Warranty. HPDE is not racing and Ford and Ford Performance know this. It's important for the owner to know this too.
Yep … then take into consideration all the track attack ford sponsored events …Interesting take by Ford, believe there was more to the story if they denied warranty coverage. From AutoBlog upon interviewing various auto makers:
"Ford vehicles such as Mustang, GT350, Focus RS, Focus & Fiesta ST and Raptor are designed for spirited driving and will be covered by warranty if the vehicle is operated within the limits and guidelines outlined in the vehicle's owner's guide and warranty manual, including when the vehicle is driven in 'track mode,' a feature that is contained on some vehicles, if it is driven on a track in a manner that is consistent with the guidelines. Ford does not recommend racing these vehicles in timed competitions or sanctioned race events, as they are designed and built to be driven as delivered from the factory, and the vehicle warranty does not cover mechanical failure or damage caused when a vehicle is used for racing.
"If there is a warranty concern, it is determined and reviewed on case-to-case basis whether a mechanical failure or abuse caused it."
"We do not recommend modifying or racing (for competition or time) Ford Performance vehicles, as they are designed and built to be driven as delivered from the factory.
So racing on a track for time is not recommended by Ford, yet the document also says that the vehicle's Track mode should be "used by skilled drivers for spirited and aggressive driving while at the track." And the car's Drag Strip mode should be "used at the drag strip." Therefore, track driving is within the limits and guidelines outlined. Hmm.
Let’s see if I understand this correctly.Yep … then take into consideration all the track attack ford sponsored events …
All the hype about it being track ready …
The guy who went to mediation had all the Ford literature to show… exc exc exc
The consensus was if you take your car into any track event …
Don’t post about it
Before going to dealer make sure street tires back on car… clean off all rubber… remove any evidence of car being on a track …
We all really thought the owner would win in arbitration
So just extra caution… if you do track your car… remove all evidence….
That being said… all my friends tell me Mustangs are a blast on the track… I mean I personally have NEVER had my car on a track. Nope I don’t even floor it. Never been over 2k rpm yep lol
