Yup. If the name had no more cache we wouldn’t see so many people clamoring for it
Ford missed the forest for the trees on this one. They felt they had to use the dark horse name to tie it to Ford Racing. That’s why it was gonna be Dark Horse Boss instead of just Boss. But that’s dumb so they...
Agreed with this. I would add though they haven’t done enough to make more S550 owners want to trade up. Some have for sure. But it seems like many more S197 owners upgraded and lots of S550 owners are standing pat until something more unique comes out
Yup. The hype would have been off the charts!
If true, then the Mustang as we knew it is dead. Also good luck to Ford selling re-badged products at premium prices. If this was a new and unique product, a high price could be warranted
Anyone know why Ford chooses Eaton units over Whipple for the superchargers on this and the GTD?
Price, quality/reliability, production volume?
Remember we saw that factory GTD with a Whipple?
Have you guys ever seen those posts where they compare the same shoe but it’s got different logos on it? (Nike, Jordan, Under Armor, etc.)?
That’s what this feels like because the car looks instantly better to me and all that’s changed is the logo/name 🤣🤣
I guess branding and marketing...
We agree on the complaining stuff we just have a different assessment of this thread. That’s okay, I’d rather pick your brain on the other topics.
If the teal accent is a throwback then that’s cool and makes it more relevant in my eyes. It’s still ugly but that’s only in my eyes and looks are...
I agree with that. I just haven’t seen too much of the denigration. Though there has been some. I myself need to forgive the teal package person in marketing because I haven’t gotten over that yet 🤣
There hasn’t been much if any trolling at all in this thread in my opinion. Complaining about any new product is normal. If the complaints are higher than expected, maybe the product isn’t hitting the mark…
You trust their judgment, I won’t try to dissuade you from that. But myself and many...
Or how about they make that same decision by saying these bastard will just accept whatever we give them as they laugh all the way to the bank.
If they’re going to be in the Mustang market then do it right
I’m sorry, I didn’t know being a Mustang and Ford fan was a cult. I thought we were allowed to express our opinions when we disagree with the direction of the brand? Isn’t that how we avoided this being “Probe7G”?
I have no problem with those enamored with the DH SC. There’s a lot to like. But...
And they just announced that N/A 5.4 will be going in their new hypercar to compete at LeMans too
A N/A 5.4L manual with the cooling and suspension of the DH SC (including the subframe to save weight) with unique styling and making like 575 hp would be glorious
Even if Ford did something dumb...
Props to StangMode and Chris Cervenka for asking questions we’ve wanted to know.
Couldn’t be more disappointed with Farley’s answers. He’s not an idiot he knows the GTD is not an answer to corvette when corvettes start at like $70k lol
I agree with this.
I also fear it might be worse than we...
