$5K ADM I could see, $16K has to be an error somewhere…

Mustangs are the ultimate bought on emotion, sold after reality hits car. People buy the dream or exhaust note and sell when they find it won't work for them as a daily for whatever other reason. When talking about her most famous role, Hollywood star Rita Hayworth once said “Men go to bed...

Wow, how is that car priced at $16K over sticker?!?! That has to be a web site error… MSRP: $71.860 "Promise Price": $87,707

Not helpful, it won't allow you to do a search for a manual, it thinks they're all automatic. The only reason I want a DH Premium over the GT Premium is the Tremec; I hadn't ever driven a Tremec when I ordered the GT Premium as again, no one had one available in my area. (The dealers that do...

I got to test drive a V10 Audi R8 once that was on a factory tour, so it wasn't a dealership car. The salesman who came with me told me to punch it on an on ramp and I got to hear the really cool sound of all four wheels breaking traction and squealing in a straight line. 🤣

I didn't actually take delivery, I purchased an M2 instead but have been debating trading it for a Dark Horse. I should have done a search for a Dark Horse to begin with but I was led to believe none were out there since dealers couldn't get allocations to order one; when I ordered this the...

Emboldening mine: Jackie Stewart, or James (Jimmy) Stewart, the actor in It's a Wonderful Life? 😁

Emboldening mine: Be careful when you do that; you've just described the recipe for snap throttle oversteer, when people feel the rear end get a little loose and let off the gas, causing weight transfer to the front, guaranteeing the rear end will lighten and slide.

You are correct on both counts, but I have still been tracking my build, which is now at the dealer (if anyone is interested, let me know.) As an aside, a Ford Dealer near me is getting an Adriatic Blue Dark Horse optioned the way I would order one, but it has the bronze wheels.

Sadly, also an extra expense. For most banks, wire transfers have a fee of $25 - $30; cashier's checks are free.

So, complete GT Premium timeline for future reference:

Neither my 2003 Boxster S nor my 2002 S2000 leaked a single drop into the interior.

If it was over $10,000 they will be getting a visit from law enforcement and/or the IRS. They aren't joking around with the need to fill out that form, and people have been arrested for "structuring" even when they weren't trying to avoid the limit.

$10K or over in cash must be reported on IRS form 8300. IRS: Report of cash payments over $10,000 received in a trade or business - Motor vehicle dealership Q&As

It's funny, I suspect the "champagne" comments in the ad were aimed at F1, but that can also go for IndyCar at most any race - certainly all the street races have lots of four and five figure high-end hospitality suites along the courses.

Where's the "CGI images, do not attempt" disclaimer? NASCAR transmissions haven't been true manuals since 2022; instead they're a sequential five speed transaxle.

I don't "keep adding goodies" - that's the exact GT I ordered and did not take delivery of and the exact Dark Horse I would order if I got a DH but can't because no one in my region has an allocation and dealers don't know when or if they will get one. I'm not trying to convince anyone of...

I was comparing a GT Premium to a Dark Horse Premium. DH Premium starts at $69,075 and includes most of the options I needed to add to my GT Premium order, so again the MSRP was only $2265 different. If you can get a discount on your DH, great - here no one in the region even has a DH...

What are you talking about? Most of the expensive GT options - MagneRide, Active Exhaust, B&O Stereo, Anti-Theft Package, and most of the 701A options - are standard on the DH, as is effectively the GT Performance Package. You'll definitely be able to get more off MSRP on a GT, but you'll never...

This is the 2026 GT Premium I ordered and decided to not take delivery of: GT Premium MT $51,080 Adriatic Blue Metallic $395 GT Premium Package 701A $2900 GT Performance Package $5660 Nite Pony $1960 Anti-Theft Package $700 MagneRide Suspension $1750 Active...
