From what I have heard, it takes longer to produce as it has to go through more steps to be painted. They want to produce a certain number of mustangs per day, so they can only slow down the process for any given time constraint so much to hit that number. If they made 100% of the cars with a...
Always love RevanEvans reviews, and he had a lot of praise for the 10R80 calibration and Magneride updates. Said it felt as fast as his GT350 with more refinement. I think it is what we expected, I cant wait.
There have been a small handful on this site that have been scheduled with the HP, the vast majority here and on other sites with the HP have not though. It really seems like it is going to be a low volume package, which when you look at the 75% take rate on this forum, you can deduce that there...
Yeah i was refering to the 2022 mach 1s not the 23s. I have been keeping up for a few years. They started scheduling non-HP 2022 orders from October in Nov/Dec 2021, but HPs didnt start until April 2022 because of the winter hold on HP. Average lead time from what I can tell on M6G was 6-9...
@roket @Skye I know both of you guys were in the 2022 Mach 1 group, i followed along because I almost bought one, decided to hold out for S650. Didnt the October 2021 ordered HP cars not get scheduled until April 2022 because they didnt build them over the winter? If that holds true for DH...
Yikes, October dates and still can't schedule Handling Pack cars. If Ford doesn't build them from Dec-March like the M1 HP, we may be in for a really long wait, over a year from ordering before our cars are even scheduled. A year and 3 months (or longer) from order to delivery. Buckle up.
I know it was mentioned the DH isn't as Hardcore as the GT350, but I bet it outperforms it on some tracks. The Mach 1 HP already beat the GT350R lightning lap, i expect the CF wheel DH will definitely be more than a match. That being said, if a new GT350 came out, I would expect it to be a slot...
Same, one kid near me has a slammed 2015ish gmc truck with the 5.3 and what sounds like straight pipes and he loves to rev it all the time. Sounds like crap, hoping to educate on proper exhaust notes soon.
Yes they do. The tires are not quite in the same class. The Mach 1 handling pack had Michelin Cup 2 tires that are not supposed to be driven in Temps under 40 degrees and the company says that temps below 20 can damage the tire in storage, without driving. Not sure if the Trofeo RS tires will...
Could be, but it did just update very recently. I have been checking it once a week since last September.
Either way, the other signs are looking promising.

No problem here is another good sign. Mike Levine mentions FPRS is going to have Dark Horse cars soon. He mentions Charlotte as the location as well. That doesnt mean there is a track attack...but I'd still bet there will be.
Would not surprise me if it is the trofeo rs tires, they are brand new.
Dont know if they will do these like the Mach 1 HP, they didn't produce them from Dec-March because of the tires. If thats true, some of us have a long wait if we aren't scheduled by November.
