Local Motors is the OG with the Rally Fighter from 2009

it is visual only. it gives you some exclusive stripes, 3d printed titanium paddle shifters and dial shifter from the GTD, special interior with some admittedly awesome looking checkered flag pattern perforated suede recaro seats. only offered in Oxford White or Shadow Black. its like a GTD...

the first production run of the Dark Horse SC, so the second half of the 2026 model year, has an exclusive "track special package" for it, limited not only in model year production, but total production numbers. the hope is that once the 2027 model year comes around and that package is no longer...

yeah, i was hoping that would've been real too. but even if it was real, i doubt it would block under the table "i'm your favorite" money, because you can disguise that as an unrelated gift, or a tip or something

i have absolutely no chance now. there's 5 or 6 people waiting to buy one, over half of which are willing to pay $30k+ markups, and at least 2 are willing to pay $50k+ markups. almost all of them are Ford GT and/or Mustang GTD owners. i can only hope that the loss of the track special package in...

Avalanche is a non-metallic medium-light greyish-blue color. it has been around for quite a while, and seems to be one of the legacy colors Ford is bringing back, along with Ruby Red and Orange Fury. if you go to your local Ford dealer, you may be able to find a Super Duty in Avalanche

the paddle shifters are nothing more than switches that complete a circuit, which signal the PCM to request an upshift or downshift. if it's saying "HIGH", my first assumption is that something is happening where both switches are completing the circuit, even if not pressed. i would double check...

from what i've seen, their equipment installers may be subject to the same limitations, at least on non-purpose built vehicles. i heard about an unmarked Mustang come in to a dealer saying one of the taillight bars would go out intermittently. sure enough, some idiot decided that the ideal place...

it's gonna get expensive quick. likely gonna need to swap out your SCCM and clockspring, and of course the steering wheel itself. then you gotta change a bunch of settings in various modules with FORScan to tell it it has a heated steering wheel now. and even after all that, there's no promise...

that price is very right. Ford almost always has obscenely high parts pricing, even dealer cost. then there's the MSRP for it, and most parts departments have a matrix markup too, which gets higher the cheaper the part. but i think at this price level, the matrix is really low or 0%

a policy i will always follow is "MSRP or no sale", not including dealer add-ons or extra warranties of course. and so far, i'm 2 for 2 with vehicles ordered vs ordered vehicles purchased at MSRP. here's hoping that if i get to order one, the DH SC makes that 3 for 3. i always employ a tactic of...

most vehicles with iron brake rotors have a little metal bit on the brake pad that will serve as an audible wear indicator by screeching when it makes contact with the rotor. this would be disastrous on carbon ceramic rotors, so most or all manufacturers that use carbon ceramics have a...

yeah, those are just my reasons. supposedly carbon ceramics last 100k+ miles on street driven vehicles, the brake pads are just sacrificial to keep them alive. this is also why vehicles with carbon ceramics have the "brake wear" icon, because doing it the way iron rotors do would destroy them. i...

the whine actually comes from the driver when the supercharger gets so heat soaked so quickly and power is lost ok, but really, robvas is right. the signature whine is from the geartrain in the supercharger, so less whine means more efficient. i think roots type superchargers just make less...

yeah, but it's more than just the supercharger. the carbon fiber wheels, carbon ceramic brakes, properly working paddle shifters, the blank button now doing track apps, launch control, carbon fiber dash and steering wheel trim, all those and more are reasons i wanted to get an SC. plus, when the...

even if he chickens out, there's already 2 other people in line for the spot also willing to pay gross markups. i've just accepted that i'm not getting a 2026 model year one. maybe the hype will die down when you can't get the track pack special edition version anymore

according to my GSM, GTDs can easily go for even $600k or more. plus the whole "selected by Ford" and "2025 and 2026 models are spoken for" thing

i saw the message they were gonna send out next week, and it did look exactly like that, except talking about the Dark Horse SC and costing $3500 instead of $2000

unknown as of now. but by the sounds of it, no matter the price, he's willing to do the 50k over

well, looks like i'm not getting one from my dealer. it's going to a guy that's willing to pay $50k over MSRP and i can't compete with that. we're also promised only one allocation per model year, but more allocations later isn't out of the question
