Well sure. As long as you don’t mind going through a pre-flight ritual before every key cycle and/or consulting the online only encyclopedic owner’s manual every time something new pops up. Personally I mind and attempt to avoid it if possible.

Aaaand, bingo. You’re exactly right!

I‘d be pleasantly shocked if it were a [NA] upgraded V8; it’d have to be 575+ hp to get anybody’s attention and Ford has shown that’s kinda getting into the edgy zone of long-term warrantable reliability. So that pretty much leaves the 750 hp supercharged thing, which is becoming old hat...

After only two years? I sure wouldn’t think so. What’s to be gained by going to the expense? Like them or not, the S650 still looks fresh and new alongside a ‘23. And the supposed sales slowdown that seems to be a recent favorite topic in these parts certainly isn’t attributable to dated...

Yeah simultaneous to that message mine somehow spews out the aroma of fresh brewed coffee. Well, kinda. My wife’s Subie will do it soon as the engineers figure out how.

To quote myself from a couple months back: I find it counterintuitive that anyone with a V-8 performance car would leave any driver assist turned on if it could reasonably be disabled. Maybe leave on a little dab of ESC. If I can turn off the junk and still drive it at 75 I’ll bet you can...

OK, I’m officially confused. While yes, there were verifiable gains IFRC up to ~17 or so HP with the S550, I thought it had been shown on the dyno that zero HP gains were to be had by carbon trap removal in the S650. Maybe I’m watching the wrong YouTube channel but these guys seemed pretty...

OP, Ken H. here may say he’s no expert but he sure seems to me to know what he’s talking about. While I have no experience with his Michelin recommendation and am not doubting what he says, I will say that in my many years of owning and driving high performance vehicles I have never come close...

Wow you must have some serious motivation up front to need 355s. And here I was thinking the 315s looked really big on mine.

That looks great! Did the wheels come that way, did you DIY it or did you have somebody do it for you? If a shop did it could you share who/where in GA you had it done? Thanks.

Glad you got it straightened out but I have read your comments along in this thread and I just have to ask: is your temper really so bad that you seemed ready to pop your cork over this? I mean, your “body was furious”? Hard for me to understand. People eff stuff up all the time; in fact I...

And here you go, this right here. I’m guessing this poster is fairly young and many would in fact say careless and impulsive. Well I’m in my mid 70s and just did about the same thing. Probably worse, actually. Sometimes you just gotta say eff it. Enjoy it in good health my friend. You done good!

18 month wait? What? I realize it takes a little longer to order a car (assuming that‘s what you did) but 18 months? Whatever the deal was I applaud your patience. I saw my black 6MT one online one morning just goofing around on the internet and noticed it was on the showroom floor 20 miles...

I was thinking this was the case. I acknowledge that confirmation bias is a real thing but I’m glad I went ahead with ‘24s. And I’m a very poor waiter, no patience at all. Same car, less $.

Have there been any actual 2025 Dark Horse HP cars spotted in the wilds yet, or maybe better put anybody actually have one? I obviously know there are non-HP DHs being delivered but wasn’t sure about the HP cars. That’s kinda why I grabbed ‘24s when I found them, being impatient and not knowing...

I‘ve said that exact same thing many, many times. It was usually about the Mach 1 but same deal. Then I actually bought one. Those words give me indigestion every day. I’ve never experienced a car like this. The HP is a lot more than bigger wheels and tires. And no, mine don’t go near a track.

Track mode absolves a multitude of sins. I believe it also disables that silly A.S.S. system on cars so afflicted.

Help me here. What does this mean?

Thanks, I should have thought of that. Makes sense. My cars roll exclusively in track mode, period (forgive the redundancy). So that would explain it.

Wonder if this junk is not installed on the ‘24 Dark Horse? I haven’t noticed it. Seems like it’d be pretty inconvenient on the track, especially if you did a key cycle and had to go searching through the corn-maze inspired menus to turn it off. Truly I despise every little bit of this forced...
