  1. Just received a welcome letter from Ford Australia

    With Ford and GM having vacated the premises in AUS I was wondering how much these cars are going for down under...Heard taxes are crazy even worse than the US if this is even possible ?! Here in the US a well equipped DH is around $75K plus roughly 10% tax/license...
  2. Dark Horse on fire and burns down (from stuck clutch)

    It was definitely a loose fitting or leaky hydraulic line/slave cylinder causing this nasty mess...After a fire you can only hope the mother burns because you dont want it back...This thing is toast or maybe worth a few "back from the ashes episode" for a Jootuber...Definiteley not bubbles in...
  3. Dark Horse on fire and burns down (from stuck clutch)

    Even if this DH is truly a hot mess I still think the Tremec 6 spd is still the best part of the whole package...Save the manuals as you will always be able to buy an automatic...When you get old...LOL
  4. Dark Horse on fire and burns down (from stuck clutch)

    Earlly units got replacements ? They for sure have to replace this one because it is a total loss !
  5. Challenger or S650

    MLC...Midlifecrisiscar ? C7Z06 as in going in limp mode after a few spirited laps on the track if not the rear swapped ends with the front before...LOL Scary to drive fast...IMHO
  6. Dark Horse on fire and burns down (from stuck clutch)

    You cant make this sheet up...In 2024 a clutch that is stuck on the floor...C5 and C6 Vettes used to do this when driven hard (at high rpm) for a period of time creating air bubbles in the hydraulic system the pedal on the floor...Could get it out of gear only by letting off the throttle...
  7. Challenger or S650

    I thought the same until I finally drove one last summer...I actually think after the honeymoon is over and the newness has worn off the Challenger WB 6-spd is more fun to drive on the road (not racetrack) than the gen6 SS1LE I had before...! I was also in the market for a DH but lack of TORQUE...
  8. The Mustang is getting a stable mate once again...

    Great locking vehicle...I take back what I said the 300 being a cool sleeper and the Charger WB looking less classy but still great for a 4 door sedan...Last of its kind...Collectors in the years to come ! And yes black is the worst color for CA/AZ/FL...LOL Great looking though while new & clean...
  9. Is MotorTrend right about the new S650?

    In that regard they actually made the car worse...The rest like engine and body/chassis is the same and I wonder why they at least ditch the MT-82 for the Tremec in all manuals ? I think people who are used to these touchscreens are younger people who dont like/cant afford $50-75K cars and the...
  10. Challenger or S650

    I agree with what you said 100 %...Where the argument came from was that Ford claimed the S650 was an all new car/generation which is clearly wrong ! But the one eyed is the king among the blind...LOL Ford though a little make-up on a old horse is good enough since the other ponycars are dead...
  11. State's highway patrol adds 2024 Ford Mustangs to fleet

    I was more thinking the Mustangs should be more fun to drive than the boring Explorer SUVs they usually get to drive...Hence our tax-$$$ at play...More taxes and more tickets to pay for it !
  12. Dealer Can't Resolve Backseat Area Rattling

    As sad as it sounds especially for the prices they ask for these cars today squeaks , rattles , gaps on various body parts and not perfect paint are still part of the american car experience unfortunately…I think on these cars you need to change your attitude and expectations and buy and enjoy...
  13. Base Manual with 3.55 vs PP with 3.73

    I would go 3.73 for sure but like you said either way the GT wont feel fast because lack of Torque , weight and very tall gears...3rd is already geared for 115 mph ! You buy it more for the experience like V8 sound and rowing your own gears instead of performance...IMHO
  14. Is MotorTrend right about the new S650?

    Looks are subjective....So no argument from me here...One mans junk is another mans treasure...LOL But undeniably a few cars stayed with their good , timeless and origional looks and will never go out of style...The Challenger and 911 comes to my mind as also the Mini and the Beetle and...
  15. 2024 dead ?

    Reading this stuff is frustrating and makes you wonder if this is progress and if manufacturers test this stuff before they let it loose on the buying publc...? I go to work once a week and the car sits for 6 days and there is no outlet to plug into...Sounds like an adventure not knowing if the...
  16. Went to test drive a GT 6spd.... Is low end torque improved in the S650?

    I think with a Ecoboost V6 no matter how much faster the Mustang would be dead because Mustang is V8 or nothing ! I think Stellantis will learn this painful lesson soon with their all new Charger no matter how fast the biturbo inline 6 / AWD combo might be...No V8 and no manual will turn...
  17. State's highway patrol adds 2024 Ford Mustangs to fleet

    I remember when the CHP had Fox bodied 5.0 LX...Your tax dollars at play...I think the Charger 3.6 V6 Pentastars AWD they run today as much better since you cant outrun a radio...LOL
  18. Ford employee leaves note in Dark Horse glovebox for future owner

    Call me a cynic but it would have been much cooler to make Quality job 1 or even give the car more than a new name like a upgraded lighter chassis and a 5.8 engine than a PR stunt like a handwritten note for a good customer that tunes Mustangs and making sure that the rest of the worlds gets to...
  19. Is MotorTrend right about the new S650?

    When you look at the originals like a 69 Mach 1 , 70 Camaro Z/28 or 70 Challenger R/T which were the high water marks of pony/muscle cars and you looks at the last Camaro (yuk) or the S650 which is not a bad looking car (except for the front which looks nothing like a Mustang) and the Challenger...
  20. Dealership woes - Am I expecting too much?

    I would be not happy as you are but you are expecting too much as nowadays there is no more pride , no quality work and nobody gives a crap anymore...All they want is money and much of it but you get no value in return or in your case your stuff damaged...The dealerships are as bad as the...
