Much better, it makes it clear when people say the GT is the same as the DH. The DH suspension is also tuned differently than the GT with MagneRide, but many of the actual parts numbers may be the same between the two.

If that was in reference to my post about ordering a DH being tricky, that doesn't make sense - why have a customer ready to give you money walk out the door? If they don't have allocation, it makes no sense to lie and say you do, but if you do, you wouldn't let a buyer walk out the door like...

Why do you think this is abnormal? I asked a friend who works at a BMW dealer how much a 2026 M2 they had on their lot would be worth as a used car with about 200 miles on it. MSRP: $76,460 Used Value: $65,000 So that's a $11,460 loss for doing nothing but driving it off the lot as your...

So are you saying MagneRide is different from the suspension? It is the same only if you have ordered MagneRide on your GT; the GT doesn't come with MagneRide by default or with the Performance Package, you have to specifically option it, which means pretty much only ordered vehicles have it...

It is from the point of view of tuning and the fact that you have to explicitly add MageneRide as an option to get it on the GT; it is not included with the GT Performance Package.

Once upon a time, KBB was supposed to reflect that, but their trade-in values are largely pure fantasy. I'm convinced now it's to drive people to dealerships who will find out the KBB numbers are wildly inflated, but will often make the deal anyway. CarMax has been consistent but their numbers...

At least for 2026, the GT Performance package and MagneRide are two separate options as is the Active Exhaust: GT Performance Pack: $5660 MagneRide: $1750 Active Exhaust: $1595 All three are included on the DH along with the $700 Anti-Theft Package and the $1150 B&O sound system, which is why...

Ford claims "no one" used Homelink anymore, but I don't know how people get into their garages without it. 🤷‍♂️

Ordering is a bit tricky; five different Ford dealers in my area have told me ordering a DH is difficult, they get an allocation for one per model year. Another said it wouldn't be a problem, so I'm not sure which is accurate; the one that said they could order said Ford gives DH allocations as...

Who’s giving discounts on an order for a new 2026, or even a discount on one already sitting on a dealer lot?

That‘s it; the price differential between the GT I wanted and the DH was ony about $4K, and the Tremec is worth that.

You misunderstand. It takes no time to decide you like them. It may take eight hours of driving to decide you can’t live with them long-term. This also goes with other things, like the “carbon fiber look” interior pieces may be no big deal when it’s new, but may get on your nerves over time.

Because there are many things that might seem not that big a deal on a test drive but become really, really annoying after hours/months/years inside the car. For example, the Recaros might be no big deal for you on a test drive or on a two hour fun trip, but if you’re driving from say Arizona...

The source dealers have that we don't is access to Manheim auction values, which is the true value of a car. This is supposed to be where "Black Book" got their values but they've diverged. Today getting a no obligation CarMax quote is the best "back of the envelope" source.

This. It's going to be a logistical nightmare if you try and reject a vehicle off the transporter; no dealer is going to send it until you pay them in full, and then you have zero negotiating power if it's damaged when it arrives.

It's unclear whether that would work. As an example, people who purchased the 2025 lighted door sills for their 2026 found out the 2026 models do not have the wiring for them.

For me the #1 reason to choose the DH is the Tremec. It also includes the B&O and Magneride for free, a items that would bump the price of the GT even closer to that of the DH.

For the same reason NASCAR drivers don't daily their race cars.

He has the most experience.
