That won't be part of our conversation.

I got offered an allocation. I'd have to sell my GT350R Her to do it.

I've gone to many of them, two GT350 days, Focus RS day and two off roadeos. They're all contracted by Ford. Without the Ford branding and the money that Ford pays them they would not likely be able to keep the lights on. They were all pretty good programs but I honestly would have looked...

I gotta say, I miss my '23 M1 HP. Of modern Mustangs, I've had two B302's (one LS) three GT350's (currently my R Hep) and out of the six the M1 HP was the sweet spot.

The general populous doesn't know 'Wheelhouse', and neither did I till this press release. It makes zero sense to replace a name with brand recognition to one that is so obscure that it may be mistaken for a shop that sells wheels. Ford Performance was a solid name that had more bandwidth than...

Do past applicants have to re-apply?

Both have their advantages. I don't feel that Mustang and 911 really compete with each other for actual buyers. If they did then I wouldn't have both. And to the contrary, Corvette seems to be selling just fine after changing their front engine design to mid engine. If Ford followed suit I...

If Porsche is concerned with any other car on the market it's the Corvette. The 928 was a great car and Porsche initially wanted to replace the 911 with it. But Porsche customers kept buying the 911 as it was a more engaging package that continues to evolve over the generations. Porsche won't go...

That will never happen in a 911. The largest engine they offer is the 4.0 flat6 in the GT3 so the space is not available for a V8. The chassis is not packaged for a V8, and the low center of gravity in a flat 6 has its advantages over the big head coyote, or any V8 for that matter. The flat 6...

Ford should stop chasing 911 times on the ring unless they get serious with a chassis that can get a car down to 3,200 lbs or within a few hundred pounds of the GT3, but with a higher horsepower engine. Porsche chose to do this as it's what they have to play with currently until the 992.2 GT3RS...

A bit cocky and dismissive is what I got out of that interview. He has had to deal with a lot of gov't mandated crap through his leadership. However, with changing consumer preferences maybe I'd address the questions he's received in a similar fashion. Because of Ford's current financial state...

Truth be told, FP Blue is my favorite :clap:

Variety is the spice of life

Keeping busy :like: I

Given Farley's comments posted on YT he may been the one killing the Dark Horse Boss. Can't say I'd blame him if that were the case.

How would they get around gov't regs, certifying every single rendition etc?

Ford is quite large. They could offer a slightly detuned 5.4 but otherwise performance parts in the engine that closely approximates what they race with and offer it with a full warranty. If they say the DHSC is a Ford Racing product, maybe they should offer what they race as best they can, in a...

Sorry, Ford cheaped out with the GTD. Total money grab with the interior and engine. There are many similar attributes that have direct comparison. Only an idiot with blind loyalty couldn't see it.

I can't say I care as much about the naming as I care about the product. However, you can make heritage blend with the modern era if you work with it. That way you don't alienate any one group of potential customer, and you satisfy the loyalists. Throwing it away and starting fresh is two steps...

Ring times are important as a measure, but there are many other reasons to compare the two. Unfortunately Ford chose to use the same engine and largely the same interior. This new DHSC is even going to weigh the same even after all of the things Multimatic did to the GTD with carbon everywhere...
