  1. Wonder why Ford didn't develop all-new Mustang?

    It would have been nice to see the Mustang finally get built on the CD6 chassis as Ford has been telling us for years (hybrid AWD models would have been great), but, I look at the S550 transition to the S650 as the old SN97 transition to the New Edge. Identical chassis, totally different body...
  2. My Dark Horse order reservation made

    Hate to say it, but, that is not a customer order at all. That is a dealer "stock" order. It should say "Retail" under "Type" at the top, and it should have ALL the option prices listed and total price (and any discounts) listed at the bottom. It should also have your full name on it (Customer)...
  3. Hands-on reviews: digital gauge cluster, display screens, SYNC 4 -- which media are calling impressive

    It most definitely is a VERY responsive system because Ford is now using QNX for its interface OS. This is a huge leap over previous interfaces (even Sync 3.4). For those unfamiliar with QNX (owned by Blackberry now), it is RTOS (Real Time Operating System) that is UNiX based and been around...
  4. New custom wheels (Fondmetal) for our 24" GT

    As others have mentioned, they will be exactly the same spec as Ford "cheaped" out on us with the S650 since its really just a cosmetic refresh. It is still rolling on the S550 underpinnings. I'm told even the exhaust systems will be the same (save for the mufflers as only Active Exhaust cars...
  5. Are the Recaros worth it?

    Yeah, its a bit of funny name, but, Ford has been using that color name since the early S197 days.... I will say though... at car shows (and we go to a LOT of them, including Carlisle every year), we almost always get comments on the red interior on our black cars...... it does draw attention.
  6. My experience ordering the S650! How was/is yours?

    What does your order say in the system? It should say "Unscheduled-Clean". You won't see this on your copy, but that is what your dealer should be seeing. That is a GOOD thing. It basically means, the order hasn't been "picked up" by Ford scheduling yet (makes sense since the order banks don't...
  7. My experience ordering the S650! How was/is yours?

    I totally relate, as my wife has a 2022 C8 (2LT Z51 coupe), and we waited almost 2 years on the list to get ours. It was MRSP though and so, we didn't mind the wait. On our 2024 Mustang, we got around $3k below MSRP, but, that was because we have be long time customers with the same dealer in...
  8. Are the Recaros worth it?

    Carmine Red is very dark (think Oxblood), and only available on the premium pkg "normal" seats. The Recaro's on the S650 are only available in Onyx (black), Space Grey (off white), or Indigo Blue (Dark Horse only). I love the Showstopper Red, but, it only works well with black or white cars I...
  9. Are the Recaros worth it?

    Someone earlier in this thread (or possibly, another thread), mentioned that the new S650 Recaro's "must be ventilated" since they have perforations in the leather for them now. Well, the S550 Recaro's have ALWAYS had perforations in the leather (for breathing and comfort). I've attached...
  10. Now That Order Guide is Out, What’s Your 2024 Mustang Build Going To Be?

    It is in person. It is dark, but, it looks good. Classy looking red , almost an Oxblood color.
  11. Now That Order Guide is Out, What’s Your 2024 Mustang Build Going To Be?

    Canadian dollars, and that isn't the actual final invoice price I'm paying.... they are taking $3500 off of that price and I will be trading in my 21 Mustang GT ($50k trade in allowance), so, not much really to pay. The DH in Canadian money is closer to $85k-$90k for a 700A loaded up...
  12. Are the Recaros worth it?

    Agreed. Three S550s we've owned. The first one were stock seats... hated them. The next two (including our current car) have had the Recaros. Can not go back now... LOVE them.
  13. New custom wheels (Fondmetal) for our 24" GT

    Car won't be here until summer (as we all know.... LOL), but, my wheels arrived today. Tires and sensors will be installed next week (305/30/20 front, 315/30/20 rear), on these beautiful Brassy/bronze colored wheels custom ordered for the Mustang (correct center bore size and bolt pattern)...
  14. Now That Order Guide is Out, What’s Your 2024 Mustang Build Going To Be?

    I've seen the Carmine before, its nice, but not "flashy" like Showstopper Red (I have the Showstopper Red Recaro's in my 21 GT). Its like an earthy brownish/red.... kind of like Oxblood color. Classy looking.
  15. Canada Mustangs Cheaper Price!!!

    Yes, the "base" GT is the same as the base Ecoboost. Cloth interior and plastic door and dash trim.
  16. Now That Order Guide is Out, What’s Your 2024 Mustang Build Going To Be?

    I will just say for anyone on the "fence" with the Recaros..... GET THEM!! Our first S550 GT had the regular seats and my wife and I drove 3000km on an east cost road trip (our daughters wedding in Halifax, we live in Ottawa), about a week after buying the car. My wife said she would never go on...
  17. Canada Mustangs Cheaper Price!!!

    You get a LOT in the Premium Package. B&O is now included (was $1000 extra on the S550). Our last two S550s (including our current 21 S550) have always been Premium pkg. You get so much more included, like active cruise control, lane departure, leather interior, digital dash option, lighted...
  18. Canada Mustangs Cheaper Price!!!

    Can concur!! We place our order yesterday with our dealer (Barrhaven Ford in Ottawa), and I have the build sheet here. We had place a late order for a loaded 2023 GT Premium PP 401A in January that our dealer still had an allocation for. It priced out at $71k and change. Our new 2024 build with...
