I am no marketing expert but uniqueness is in style for younger generations. How young, I don't know. But the trend is unique. All the social media pages, clothing style etc.,, people want their own look and their own style. So Ford with the digital screens, the numerous ways you can spec...

Yea that would blow! My understanding is that these ECUs are locked largely because the car is just a big computer now and they don't want people hacking into them messing with brakes or steering or whatever. Seems to me that allows Ford Performance to basically make a monopoly of tuning their...

The Ford Charger/Maintainer seems to be misleading. IMO it's not really a "charger" it is just a tender. Battery chargers can usually supply up to 14AMPs. However @roadpilot above is correct in his post. Do you have a voltage meter to measure the voltage of the battery? Even if that 50AMP...

Goodness what a setup. Is it me or is the spoiler delete on the S650 one of the best. This thing looks like it could be 30 years old or 30 years in the future. Would love to see some more pics. I assume it's lowered. Great spec you have indeed I would describe it as clean and racey.

Don't know if it has been mentioned but since everyone is putting up their wish list, I wish that they would announce that the surprise update allows the 4th Gen Coyote to be tuned. Let's go!

Great work. I do believe the GM was trying to be as fair as he could but obviously wasn't going to loose any money. Keep us posted and I hope you feel relieved. I want to believe that if the GM was willing to go this far, which you documented :), that the lemon law process will be smooth...

Seems to be the same thread over and over again. Just go get a C8 or 2018 GT350. I got no problem with that. Don't beat yourself up, those are solid cars. Here is a recent video of headers adding about 30HP. Stuff is coming so pick your lane and go.

The DH is not a straightforward win like a GT350 or Porsche GT4. This has to do a lot with your previous car experience, budget, and most importantly your desires for the car. Me personally, I wanted a car that had close to GT350 handling yet with a different look and a more reliable motor...

Do you mean the Tremec got even better beyond the first 1000 miles?

Very excited to get my DH Manual. When I got my 2006 GT back in 2006 I had to get an Auto at the time. For 18 years I have been dreaming about a manual GT. I had driven a friend's manual S197 & S550 but not for very long. Right around 937 miles I noticed difference in the Tremec. It was...

I am strongly thinking these are just AI generated posts. Seriously.

Get a notebook and write down everything that's happened from when you noticed the issue to date. Keep a log. Documentation is king. Sorry about this, stay patient and even when dealing with dealerships. Excess anger and emotion are not needed, frustration is okay and human. Nov 1 - Car...

Forget my post if you are talking about drag strip track. I thought you meant a road course.

I have seen two comparisons with Vettes and DH. Neither was a head to head but they were on the same track. Throttle house has the C7 ZR1 at roughly 2.5 seconds faster and a C8 Z51 at rougly 1.5 seconds slower than a DH. Car and Driver Lightning Lap has the C8 Z51 rougly 2 seconds faster...

This is what I have been most amazed by. The power comfort combo. And I will add handling to that as well. The enthusiasts crowd at large will likely never understand this or get this and that's ok. I can't really think of another car that resembles the combo. If the aftermarket kicks in...

I am very excited about my S650. From a business standpoint if you don't want to risk investing millions into replacing the formidable S550 with something leaps and bounds better, what else do you do? You do market research and do a refresh that will continue sales. Just because it doesn't...

There are numerous articles and Ford execs citing the reason the V8 lives is the success of the Mach E with offsetting carbon credits. So what does "success" really mean? You can also just purchase carbon credits. But hey, I am not an expert on this matter at all but rarely are things as...

Oh, yes I own a DH but I didn't order one with the carbon fiber wheels. I figure I would just get a lightweight forged monoblock at half the cost. I never really reply when people talk about tires and this older car could have been even faster with the new technology of today. The problem is...

IMO the DH auto will be the slowest variant on the track and the DH Manual carbon wheels will be the fastest. Especially with the Tremec no lift shift and rev match.

Sorry. I thought we were having a good debate on whether the S650 was worth it. Or even S650 vs the Alpha platform. Or who is making a better chassis. I am not an automotive engineer I just drive. I have no idea about vent placement nor do I care. I am moving on because my car isn't...
