FWIW, it reminds me of an escapement mechanism mechanical watches use. "An escapement is a mechanical linkage in mechanical watches and clocks that gives impulses to the timekeeping element and periodically releases the gear train to move forward..."

Stories involving the process of being accepted for the Pebble Beach Concours or Mille Miglia seem apt. Some car owners will present tomes of information about their cars, gushing about every last detail as to why they deserved to be part of a concours or historic race; these cars are often not...

That...that, uh...No Thank You.

Yes, turn signals are in the mirrors of mine.

I focused on this term: "features its new Modular Power Cylinder (MPC) Engine Architecture". If I am correct, some references... https://www.motortrend.com/news/2024-ford-mustang-engine-ecoboost-v-8-deep-dive/ "Oh, and that MPC stands for Modular Power Cylinder, which refers to the combustion...

The base price of a 2022 Mach 1 in early 2022 was $55,000. Ford's web site currently lists a 2022 Mach 1 base price of $56,250. It's difficult to see how a 2024 DH could be at least $6,250 cheaper. From inflation alone, the car should be more expensive still.

Can the contents of this thread be merged with the other, the one with the poll?

I'm not concerned about a locked ECU, but I am concerned about Telemetrics and Big Brother in general. If I can control what data is accessed, or, how it is controlled, OK. But by default, Ford saves this information and makes it available to others, under certain circumstances; this bothers me...

If Ford is experimenting with matte paint schemes, that could be cool :like:. But not in DHG :facepalm:.

It is. I'm hoping to let others know that, unannounced price changes can and do happen, so plan accordingly. In My22, Mach 1s experienced price changes of thousands of dollars; I received Price Protection of close to $3000. Destination charges, due to fuels, went up by a few hundred dollars...

It's an extreme example, but Ford increased the price of the Lightning by 30% over the last year, and, twice in the last few months. We saw one or two surprise increases in MY 22 for several Ford models...

It will be a spirited debate, like between a GT350 and a Mach 1. At least what we know now, I don't think we'll see a significant change in performance or track times. IMO, a great driver in either car could make up for any real or perceived differences. At a previous C&C event, a gentleman...

I started thinking of all the engineering variables; it's not going to be obvious, is it? Some measurements can be confirmed now, while others remain unknown and yet another variable is how they will be positioned within the structure of the chassis. SFI, Ford Performance and companies like...

Video games, steering wheels and where I put my phone. Disappointing article; they should rescind it, then publish something worthwhile as more details come to light. Actual purchasing customers are much more critical, and rightly so.

At the close of MY22, the base price of a Mach 1, the car itself with zero options, was $55K; this price did not include, delivery, dealer prep or the gas guzzler tax. Add those items to the base price with some inflation and you're north of $60K. Then add sales tax and registration. ADMs at...

That, that's not very good. BMW does seem to be going backwards with respect to styling. It's difficult to update an iconic look. I think maybe they should have another go. Its headlights remind me of the new Z. I'm not upset by the S650, but I do feel they failed in the styling department...

Panel fitment concerns and complaints are common. With new shapes, panels and features, I certainly would not expect the S650 to have improvements. I've taken Skye's fitment issues in stride; they often make me laugh. I have the typical alignment issues. No big deal. A tick off here or there...

Every Ford vehicle of any kind requires an allocation to be built. Allocations are gifted based on previous sales. Dealers who have sold more vehicles previously are in-effect, closer to the front than others. However, this presents its own problems. Taking so many orders and then later supply...

I love manuals, but I can't see a GT500 with one. It appears the DH will be a cast regular, not limited to two or three years. While not a 500, it's got a great manual trans. Stripped-down, "racer" Boss variant with manual? With as few electronics (including manual window cranks and no rear...

Mach 1s and higher models were also excluded from many cash back offers and other like discounts.
