One of the interviews on the new engine indicated it was designed specifically for the new emission controls and that was one factor that pushed them down the dual throttle bodies path.

It is definitely getting more like a fighter jet now!

I am also looking forward to the drone footage of a whole bunch of parked F-35s
Dealers were asked to submit their orders to Ford Australia in January. Some of those who were in early have received confirmation of allocation but don't have a build date yet.
Those that have received confirmation seem to be pretty close to their dealers so I suspect some dealers have...
Newcastle.
Noting folks have been getting allocation confirmation emails from Ford Australia I was hoping to find out sooner than that but I suspect my dealer is waiting for price confirmation before passing on allocation details.
I ordered an Ember Blue Dark Horse w/ appearance pack and Recaros.
Had my deposit down since August but am 10th in the queue at my dealer so not confident I will get one.
Interesting that you say you are seeing fewer on the road now because that was the biggest thing I have noticed on my recent work trip to Texas. I used to see Mustangs everywhere, but I saw a total of maybe 4 this time, only one being the Gen 6.
I saw more Porsche 911s than Mustangs ... maybe...
I get the feeling Ford are not confident in their supply chain and are preparing for a constrained production run due to continuing issues. If we take the numbers @Blueberrystang2000 quoted that they were going to get as the average, that would give 75,000 ish across the US for the 18 months...
I haven't used the BMW system myself but after being on a road trip with a colleague in his X3 and having watched him navigate the BMW system using the iDrive controller I was impressed. I am disappointed they are getting rid of them as I thought it was one of the best implementations I had seen.
I'm actually interested in why folks think that the DH is overpriced? The Tremec upgrade, Magnaride, cooling and bottom end improvements would cost a lot more than the price difference to get upgraded after purchase.
For someone that is doing a bit of spirited driving or a couple of track days...
The stripe in this image seems to be different again to the others shown. It has the gloss as a stripe on the sides rather than the whole middle or outer edge. I think I actually prefer this version but assume it doesn't go over the top. It also looks more like the pictures I have seen from the...
I would happily pay $30k over MSRP to get a Dark Horse to my specs from a dealer rather than having to pay $50k over for a standard spec Dark Horse from the dealer's mate who just ordered it to flip.
For context I am in Australia and it is likely most dealers will only get 1 or 2 Dark Horses...
