it's a shame most of these cars will go to guys/gals that may be able to carry the title of "enthusiast" but never deserving of the title "driver". and the would-be "drivers" that should be out repping the car pushed aside by dealer mark up and greed.
I would have ordered my dark horse in iconic silver metallic if it were available. I hope @roket is right on his pricing speculation and maybe now is my shot🤞
Thoughts on carbon fiber composite brace resting/working over top of the hot engine. does it flex more than steel at temperature? does it warp over time? post cure issues or is it heat cured? That's an expensive maybe to me. looks cool though
did they provide documentation with part numbers and associated costs on parts? not sure if they would share being it was a warranty repair but I'd be interested to see part numbers and cost.
I just watched the YouTube video posted by @fordmustangclub. lots of actual video from the press presentation. I'll be honest if I was there I probably would have been snoozing. apparently the dark horse SC was designed and engineered by a small team of monotoned unenthusiastic zombies.... I did...
keep in mind the season change with cooler denser air depending on where you're at. i do feel like air quality has a huge impact on what i feel as far as power... and traction. I know i'll get the side eye for this from everyone but maybe @Starship Enterprise. i feel like my car's computers have...
it looks like the actual spoiler is the same but maybe they realized the bumpers were not needed and/or changed vendor. I wonder if they went back to that on the newer ones or left the bumpers off
i agree with everything @smurfslayer wrote. manual dh non hp. i love launch control. i can report wheel hop, mostly on unprepped, grainy, choppy asphalt (thinking this also unsettles mag ride system at launch). much less on better surfaces. that said, i'm sure it's there even on a good launch...
when was your car built? i've got the non hp spoiler, and remembered to look at this last time i wiped the car down. i didn't have any bumpers and if there were provisions to accept bumpers, it wasn't obvious. so i wonder if they use multiple sources or they are from different runs. mine was...
i don't know your circumstances so please don't take offense. i think given the amount of electronics on our cars, i'd definitely be more inclined to run the battery through a full charge cycle before running the car, to avoid any damage to charging system and/or electronics maybe due to under...
sorry for hijack. question on contact02 tires. did the dry grip fall apart at low temp similar to pirelli? or sloppy, wet, winter traction just sucks? my brother was just visiting and had these on his car. they still seemed pretty "soft" even at 30 degrees. i was thinking about going to these...
never seen it broken down by exact parts. i'm probably missing some but i'd figure
front splitter
rear spoiler
hp wheel and tire
camber plates
maybe upgrade sway bars
hp/lower springs
magneride tuning to optimize package
key feature of the CURRENT premium is only memory ventilated seat. so if you're upgrading to recaro anyway, no sense in burning your money. the dark horse puddle lamps are a kinda cool but you could probably swap those in later
i skipped the handling package due to the trofeo tires. if they would've traded for pilot ps4, would've been a done deal. but i bought it to drive AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE so i figured i'd go bigger when the factory tires were done. non hp car still extremely satisfied for now. just do it.
same here. grew up die hard chevy family until my only other brand new purchase (silverado) fuel tank module rotted and started leaking fuel, then when repaired a central brake line ruptured and i almost lost the truck and a customer's boat into the lake. now my newest ford is the first my dad...
