"Brown decided to order a replacement rather than fixing his wrecked car."
Not sure that is even a decision he can make. That car is toast and not repairable for street duty. It was hit hard enough to buckle the entire dash bad enough the glove door won't close. If any insurance company...
Like you said, it ain't going to be perfect, nothing is. But it would be nice to get it as perfect as it can be for a mass produced product.
My last new Mustang had a replacement fender installed before I bought it. It was pretty obvious when I lifted the hood, the inner mounting flange was...
Same here. Was hoping for a last minute scheduling, but alas, it's on the back burner 'til April.
But maybe after the strike is over and Ford workers get the hang of building the S650, hopefully we will get a better quality built car.
One silver lining, Ford announced the Dark Horse Track...
Simple fix considering the small number of DH they are building. Get the dealers to contact the buyer and get them to sign a disclaimer specifically acknowledging the issues with the tires.
Alternatively, install All Season tires.
I would like to have the car and care less about a set of...
Ford did say they cut short the last of the MY23 S550's so they could start on the MY24 S650's early. The MY24 production is supposed to be 18 months, APR23 to SEP24.
I still think it is absolutely asnine to not build an entire car because of a disposable set of tires that aren't going to last 5,000 miles at best or 5 minutes of drifting in the case of Middleton Motorsports:
I have previously heard that Ford doesn't build their highest performance cars (Mach 1, GT350, GT500) because of the possible liability from the summer only tires that are a part of those packages.
I am wondering if no scheduling of the DH HP is not because of any contrained availability of...
I still believe that Ford shitcanned all the first day orders, especially the Dark Horse. I haven't heard of very many that ordered on 3/27 get their cars, but people who ordered the exact same spec months later got their cars already!
That's it then, No DH with HP until next year! Might as well cancel and re-order for MY25! Maybe they will have a 60th Anniversary Edition by then, LOL!
I would say it's 50-50.
Ford has a history of installing harnesses with all the options in some base or lesser optioned cars, but using a base harness without options in others.
On my 06 Mustang, it is a non-premium without My Color. I checked and all the connections were in place, so I got a...
I wonder if what you are feeling is the engine heat being removed from under hood by the heat extractors at the front of the hood?
For cars without the extractor, the engine heat escapes from under the car or front wheel wells and is not normally felt.
I used the Search inventory feature on Ford's website. Found about 20 DH in the state of Florida.
Only 1 in my exact spect BE, HP, AP, 6M, I called that one and asked directly about ADM (They call it "Market Adjustment"). They responded with MSRP +$15K. No thanks!
I called several others...
Received cover today, quite nice. Includes cable, lock antenna patch and strap buckles:
Good thing the cable loops are decent sized. I will be replacing the "Lock" with a better one. Not that it matters too much; a lock, no matter how good is just to "keep honest people honest".
Now, I just...
