I do hear you, but the point wasn't that there should be a specific timeline that this gets solved. The point was that Ford is choosing to alienate a dedicated portion of their customer base by lockign it before it even Hey, looks like I really hit a nerve with what was meant to be a funny...

I like the idea, but I would be a bigger proponent of a Hybrid solution - keeping the V8 ICE and adding EV motors to increase performance, ala the Koenigsegg Regera, or with smaller ICEs like the Gamera using a 2.0L 3-cylinder engine, which when combined with its EV motors results in 1,700...

We Are Different. If your criteria for a sports car is heated seats, then the current gen/current configuration Mustang is a good choice (and i recognize you were pointing this heated seat quote about a corvette at a higher price point, but the sentiment applies.) I bought an S650 because I...

Can you say more? Like how many components are needed that aren't already on the S650? Or are we talking check-sum values that keep an older S550 computer from interacting with S650 sensors and relays? Could I flash the entire system? To summarize: I get that it will be more than a weekend...

I really liked your post - and yah, I am quite familiar with that HD trail of tears because I worked at a dealership on the service side right around the mid to late 90s through 2002. We did a lot of custom work at our shop, even creating one-off builds from the ground up. Our hard core...

Raising them right! Though if she can actually afford a Pagani in her lifetime, she's doing better in life than I am!

Can we start a bounty? I'll put in $1k toward the pot to whomever cracks the software first (with verification). We get enough people putting money into this and eventually we're going to have a "John Wick" number of bounty hunters out there trying to get this thing open. See, two can play...

Well, it is the new Ford. We're already seeing crazy + expensive and no one I know seems to get the joke.

One other thing that I've been looking into - the S650 shares a lot of the same architecture and components from the S550. I'm curious if removing the 650 computer and replacing with a 550 module would be a viable solution with a known vector for mods.

There is a lot of misrepresentation in your comment. TLS 1.0, 1.1, and 1.2 all ended up with exploited security flaws, with the 1.0 & 1.1 falling to BEAST and POODLE attacks, and the 1.3 having a vulnerability to Racoon (I don't make these things up!) Maybe a little future thinking, but quantum...

I bought my S650 Mustang knowing that the warranty was going in the garbage. I paid cash and have zero interest in staying inside Ford's predefined box. I've already voided the warranty with the cat delete. I'm waiting on someone to crack the software and then I'm going full twin turbos...

Just curious if the price is per door or per pair.

This is, to me, the core issue. It's kind of like Harley Davidson Motorcycles. Was a time when 1%'s (as in Hardcore bikers, not 1%'s of wealth) were the core of the business, buying them even in the 80s when it was a coin flip on whether or not they would stay together and running. Then...

Motor 1 reports significant drop offs in mustang sales. Perhaps the fact that their most loyal audience, hot-rodders, have been locked out of doing anything with the vehicle, combined with out-pricing the average consumer and they've created a perfect sink hole: "Too expensive; to locked down...

100% spot on statement. I'll have to look into what Steeda is doing since I'm not familiar with your reference.

TL;DR: If you don't mind - please comment here with your favorite topic related YouTube Channels so I can grow my library. I was looking for links here on the website to favorite review sites, and specifically favorite YouTube channels that members here rely on. I am a new owner of a 2024...

Hey, thanks for sharing! This leads me to a question that I'm going to post as a separate thread, but I'll give this thread early access: what YouTubers are your go to for information? Do you follow any specific channels that you feel have the best information, the best personalities who can...

Is it wrong that I'm hoping they add another 1600 lbs or so to it for business purposes? [Note, this comment was made in jest, not serious - disengage flame brigade! DISENGAGE!!!]

Well, yes and no - right? I mean, have you seen the Shelby Code Red prices? They're in the same ballpark, and still left a lot to be desired at the drag strip against Fox Bodies with twin turbos, a drag tune, and some slicks. The question is - what do you want? It's like those old memes...

ME TOO! And I own a 2024 Mustang GT (No EcoBoost for me!) - and the day I find an aftermarket version with Active Aero - I will literally throw my money at the seller, without apology.
