Take one out of the Dark Horse R:

There are a couple solutions. 1. Wire a low amperage 12v auxiliary battery across the disconnect switch terminals, I also recommend diodes to prevent back feeding from the main start battery or alternator), so when the switch opens to disconnect the main battery, there is still 12v in the...

The 295's should not be a problem. The Dark Horse uses 19" x 10.5" (front) 19" x 11" (rear) rims with 305/30R19 (F) 315/30R19 (R) Tires. There has been no mention of different bodywork or rear suspension differences between the GT and Dark Horse (Or even the Ecoboost for that matter) other...

Agreed. The interesting part is that Ford feels some need to ship it with the DH, but leaves it up the Customer to install it:

I believe it was 130mph. But it didn't look he was on it very hard, might be more left in it.

Awesome car! I love those wheels: Ford Performance Parts R1 Flow-Formed Wheels (19” x 10.5” front, 19” x 11” rear).

Agreed! Awesome sounding car! It would break noise ordinances everywhere, LOL!!!

Congrats!! Hopefully, one day Ford will get around to building mine.

Same here. I finally reached out to Ford Chat. My order is "Unscheduled- Clean".

That was my exact same thought when I read the specs. They can't paint roofs black, so I'm with you on the black painted spoiler.

Likely due to the embargo on the Dark Horse reviews until next Tuesday. I see it as a bit of a teaser. And there may be more than a little bit of truth about crashing. I certainly wouldn't want to the person that crashed one of Ford's new Dark Horses.

Without the Handling Package, you should get scheduled before me if a slot opens up. Though there is still the same Black painted roof issue that is holding up the Nite Pony optioned cars. That makes mine doubly harder to get scheduled. Best of luck!

Fun fact I hadn't heard anywhere else before: "Care to guess why the Ford Motor Company chose 486 and not a round number? That's because of the 6.4-liter HEMI, the 392-ci lump in the 2023 Dodge Challenger R/T Scat Pack, which is rated at 485 and 475..." I knew it was true, but not that they...

It speaks a lot to the efficiency of the increased cooling capacity cited by Jim Owens. Being in Florida, all I can say is YIPPEE!!

Well, at least now I know it is mainly a scheduling issue. Hopefully, when the HP exhausted availability is lifted, my chances of being scheduled are much greater. Now returning to the waiting game.

I am not speaking for Ford. But the only thing I can think of is the Dark Horse is being very heavily promoted by Ford as their "Track Focused" Mustang version, it is said almost every time someone at Ford speaks, especially Jim Owens. And the GT even with the PP isn't as much. It may also...

Thank you very much Savagegeese Jack!! Your efforts and hard work are definitely greatly appreciated! Many of us may not agree with all your answers, or Ford's; but I think it's is more due to the frustrations in waiting for the vehicle we ordered months ago. I know I is true in my case. I...

Guess we are in the same boat.

Liability I understand. But if you leave an Auto in gear it won't start. Can easily do same for manual. Thanks for info, it is great to get as much info as possible is good, especially if coming from the "Horse's Mouth". Keep up the great work, it is greatly appreciated!!
