Looks like OP's car will get fixed. My 11 year old GT Premium was t-boned 4 months ago and the estimate was $9,100 and insurance fixed it rather than totaling it. With the prices on stuff now days I see more and more wrecks being fixed.

I had a 13 year old 5.7 Challenger with 5 speed auto and 94k miles on the clock. It would lay down 5.0 second 0-60 runs consistently. How fast is the 6.4 Scat? 4.6? 4.5 seconds? I don't think that's night and day different. Especially when you consider the Scat has 3 additional trans gears.

It's that lovely UAW quality for ya'. A missing barrel nut that holds the clutch fluid line in place? Seriously? And the result is your car catches fire and burns to the ground? This crap should never happen.

Or, you take $65k and buy one of the remaining Hellcat cars. Then you've got a car that has: - More power - More torque - Awesome supercharger noises - Rear drive/traditional powertrain layout - Usable interior space/trunk - Looks bad azz - Will actually hold value in the future - Better...

It's funny this thread is still going. Just today I was thinking to myself, "I see more new C8s on the road than I do new Mustangs." It's just now 9:00 a.m. and I've already seen two new C8 cars. How is the C8 selling better than the S650 considering the price difference? That's wild.

Yeah if I buy a new S650 the telematics systems that report driving behavior and end up in data files that are sold to insurance companies will be the first thing I remove from the car. It's pathetic that there is ZERO privacy in the world today.

Does a K&N filter flow well? Yes. But I think one has to consider the reason there's a filter installed on engines to begin with. I mean, you could remove the filters altogether if you truly wanted maximum flow.

With two throttle bodies to address I assume the CAI kits are going to be $$$$ for these cars?

Well, around here they are everywhere. All the dealers have them sitting and you see them on the roads weekly. I guarantee that a truck backing over a $38k EcoBoost car would not hurt the soul nearly as bad as what happened to that guy's $70k+ Dark Horse. Essentially, yes. And that's the...

It’s not that the Dark Horse is a bad car. The problem is it’s not a special car. It’s not meaningly faster than a base GT, it doesn’t have any ground breaking features, etc. Yet the pricing is much higher, insurance rates are higher because of how it was marketed, etc. The resale is going...

Yep, not only did they disgrace the Mustang nameplate, but they threw the Mach nameplate in there as well. Double whammy. Probe would have been the perfect name for this car. Ford's execs dropped the ball on that. I'm sure it makes a great daily, but the insane pricing on it kills the value...

I bet insurance rates are higher on DH also, despite the fact that performance is barely any different from standard GT, simply because of the marketing.

The plugs that power the telematics modem. Question is, where is that modem located? On the pickups it's on the rear wall behind the second row seats. I have no idea where it's at on the S650 cars.

Not smoking anything, just pointing out the fact that a 2015 and 2024 (will also be true in 2028) Mustang are underpinned by the same chassis, same body, etc. The MT82 is still there from 13 years ago. The 5.0 has gotten minor updates. The biggest change on the '24 is the interior and even...

Sort of like how the 2024 Mustang came out in 2015 and has only had small updates ever since?

Not really. A Dark Horse is a bit over 4,000 lbs., right? A Scat Pack is 4,300ish? That's only one fat guy heavier. And to have a larger, comfy, practical car that actually has four usable seats is well worth that small trade-off. I've had a lot of Mustangs and I enjoy the one I've got...

People have said that for years. 2024 Mustang Dark Horse is what, 4,050 lbs? A Challenger Scat Pack is 4,250ish? The 2025 Charger is all new chassis and platform that's more lightweight, so the gas versions will likely be equal or less than the Mustang in weight.

650+ horsepower in a body that looks like the late 60s Mopars and has 2 doors available? The more I see of it the more I love it. Everybody is focused on the EV version. Yes the EV version will be expensive, heavy, (fast as hell), and annoying to keep charged. That's why you buy the gasoline...

And AWD/RWD selectable. Wow. Can't wait to hear the transmission ratio and axle ratio specs. If they do it right even the base models will be nasty 0-60.

Gotta' admit, I love it. The base model with ICE is 420 HP and with the twin turbo nature of the engine it'll be tunable for big power. It'll also start around $40k or slightly more. And it looks awesome. Hmm....
