Ford, how they accept and schedule builds, is something of a black box; no one really knows how it works. Dealers receive allocations, prioritize their orders and discuss with their regional reps. What happens afterwards are Ford's internal processes. :inspect: Regarding Member comments of the...

The initial information I'm finding is that the connecting rods in the DH come from the Predator engine. Increased strength and durability I feel are givens. Other benefits, I cannot confirm. https://lmr.com/products/differences-between-mustang-5-0-coyote-engines#gen4

Hopefully, we'll see an updated document for the Gen 4.

Each state and county tax authority can have their own processes, so get with your local DMV to discuss. You have the benefit of not being the first. The DMV can cite statutes, offer forms, gift contacts, tax account info, process information and all that. After everything is settled, expect...

I hear ya. My first car, used, cost all of $400. My parents bought their first house for less than the base price of a DH. I know it's different adjusting for inflation and all, but still. It can make one pause.

It's a topic worth thinking about while waiting for the car. It's also a great time to study, tour and get quotes from any facilities you're considering. Each person is going to have their own perspective and opinion on this. And there are practical matters, such as how much you'll be driving...

The GG is a federal tax, due at signing; Ford carves this tax out and sends it to the GOV. But ya, probably a good time to have a sit-down with the salesperson and maybe the GM. Regarding taxes in-general, everyone should check with their salesperson and local DMV. In my experience, I paid all...

In the future you'll be gifted access to a window sticker you can download. Look in the upper right. You'll see "###/###"; the first # is your place in-line on the given blend/build date. The second # is the number of cars placed on the line that date. For example, I was 237/818; this number has...

The individual salesperson, acting GM or dealer policy could all be at play. Depending on amount of orders, maybe you could get a bit of a bump, especially if you've done business with them before. Or at least clarify what their policies are. There's the possibility the salesperson might not...

Priority codes relate to your place in line with respect to other buyers at that dealer. Customer orders are often given low double-digit code, 10-19 or 11-19. Dealer stock orders often receive high double-digit codes. While 19 is on the low end of the spectrum, it depends on how many...

I think we're talking the same thing. I believe the salesperson gets base pay + commission and incentives. Do surveys impact the salesperson's base pay? No. Do these impact their commission and any incentives? It's my belief they do. No survey received or anything other than a great score can...

In summary, in the overwhelming majority of sales: yes. While Ford can offer Price Protection, are dealers required to support it? No. If in a situation where you have an order in but the dealer will not support protection, ultimately, you can walk, with the dealer attempting to sell the car...

Reviewing the US 2022 and 2024 Order Guides and 2024 Tech Specs: yes. The US-spec GT w/PP, M1 and DH have the Torsen, 3.55 (Auto), 3.73 (Manual). For 2024, US-spec GTs without the PP have Trac-Lok with 3.15 (Auto) and 3.55 (Manual). For 2024, US-spec EBs without the PP have Trac-Lok, 3.15s...

In previous model years, this is my understanding... US-spec automatics received a Torsen diff with 3.55 gearing. Manuals: a Torsen diff with 3.73 gearing. EU/AU-spec, automatic or manual, were all Trac-Lok, 3.55 gearing.

https://www.kmpdrivetrain.com/differentials/torsen-vs-plated-limited-slip-differential/ https://www.kmpdrivetrain.com/differentials/plated-limited-slip-differential-explained/ I found these past and felt they gave a good rundown of both Torsen and plated LSD. Each design has their pros and...

Times past, there have been differences with exports. For example, while US models might have the Torsen as an option, EU models did not; they received a Traction Lock diff. Window stickers, pre-production and early into the MY are factors leading to the questioning of this car bound for Asia...

I take this as a general statement from Ford, but yes. The 6G cars use an Oil Life Monitor system to determine when to change the oil. I expect the 7G to to use a like feature. The Monitor uses a variety of factors to determine remaining oil life, including number of drives, range of drives...

I wish you well, but it doesn't seem like a Mustang is your car. You should look into a EUR model, maybe a BMW M, possibly a JP performance unit from Lexus or Infiniti.

The photo referenced, it's from a test mule, PreProduction car? If so, large variations would be expected. The Mustang is a mass production, US model. Panel alignment is something often noticed and commented on, but for most, not an issue. In those instances where something is received which...

I cannot give an answer but can give you a general feel for things. From what I understand thus far...the initial month or two is going to be dedicated to dealer stock. Ford wants to sell the S650, but there aren't any on the lots. Around June, Ford will begin building customer orders. This...
