I imagine it's to sell to a wider audience who doesn't understand different octane ratings, or believes anything higher than 87 is just a "ploy by BIG OIL(tm)" to get you to spend more money.
The Mustang as a whole, regardless of trim or engine, should really be running on 93 all the time, but...
The fact that Ford presumably bumped up the price because people were paying this number for GT500s, including the markup, and dealers are still adding markups is beyond comprehension.
There are some users here who are getting SCs for MSRP, while I don't know their circumstances it may be worth...
This seems to be a common theme. The CFTP GT500 was delayed (IIRC), the Mach 1 HP was delayed, the Dark Horse HP was delayed, and now the SC TP is delayed. And yet in every single instance, there were a few made for "VIP" clients.
Not particularly surprised, I can't say...
I keep coming back here, because there is one thing I can't shake, for some reason.
I'm still confused at the limited color selection for the SC. It did leak twice in the last few days leading up to the reveal, and the one Red Bull had that Max Verstappen drove in that video was either Code...
Someone else on the forum put it best - for the first two years of the S550 GT500's existence, dealers were marking up the cars to the point they costed about this much. Even now, used examples aren't far off this number.
Ford has long since realized someone is going to pay that number, and...
If they're running something, it's probably not terribly obvious. You'd need to know what to look for.
I will say though, I've seen a lot of stuff driving around lately. I'm genuinely surprised we haven't seen any photos of anything in the news yet. Ford must have either figured out who was...
The pop is the active exhaust doing its thing when the valves are open. Most all sports cars do this. It's normal.
If you don't like it popping I would advise against getting the X pipe or any sporty exhaust modification in general. Even the non-active system has cracks and burbles on occasion...
To be fair, it's not just "young influencers" trying to buy cars of this caliber. Most of the people in this age group that I see buying cars like these are just randoms I encounter on the road.
And what difference does it make to Ford anyways? The bank is the one paying for the car in most of...
This order guide has to be incomplete. It's missing prices and only has seven different color options. What was behind the decision to not offer Orange Fury or Molten Magenta? This car would look perfect in those.
Maybe 2026 is a MY to skip for would-be buyers. The 2026 S650 has been a bit of a...
I just saw an Instagram reel the other day of a guy who's friends with this 18 year old kid, who was so insistent on driving home the same day with a for sale G82 BMW M4 that he ended up buying a dirty one, with no tread on the tires, and IIRC one that doesn't run, for 75,000. A lot of the...
If you don't get the handling pack, you won't scrape anywhere you wouldn't in a GTPP. If you get the handling package you just need to be wary of potholes and excessively steep inclines and you'll be fine.
...It's 5 horsepower. Should I find myself in possession of an SC, I'm telling everyone I have 800. You wouldn't feel the difference, except in your ego, if it was 800. These are crank numbers anyways...
On the flip side, there are people still trying to sell CFTP GT500s for 110k. In that event...
