Thanks for responding although I really wasn't directing this at you! Lol Well I got some numbers for what somebody was looking for.
My DH is chunky. However, IMO, it cruises like a big Challenger but turns like a nimble Miata. I am being a bit dramatic but it does feel like a completely...
And I repeat myself again. What would it take for Ford to improve upon the GT350R? And would it be under 100K. Chevy was able to move the engine and drastically improve performance. What are other front engine high performance cars? Supra, M cars, 812 Super fast, Nismo, Astons. Just trying...
Very difficult to debate against your argument without parameters for a "Mustang that makes it truly matter again." Price, weight, straight line performance, track performance, down force, Lateral g limit, and braking would be a good start. If your argument is it just needs to be better, well...
There is a flip side to what you are saying. You can arguably say Ford was able to do a facelift and screens and still keep selling cars at a moderate level. That would speak to the strength of the S550. It's all about perspective and you must remember, not all people who buy Mustangs are...
Good conversation. My take is more about the total landscape for an automaker. The EV environment is not stable. You have unpredictable government standards that can change from administration to administration. You have unpredictable EV demand from consumers complicated with needed...
That's good to hear. My Tremec started breaking in around 750 miles where I could tell a noticeable, pleasant difference. It's pretty much the reason I bought the car and it has not let me down.
I see very few DH Premiums with HP on Autotrader. Less than 20 nationwide it seems. Even less if you want the manual. Seems like its the right time to buy a C8. Which C8 are you leaning towards?
My response was just more of a yielding to what I perceive in the forum. It seems like every DH discussion ends in its too slow, needs 550HP, too expensive, too heavy. I love the car but tired of defending it. Every thread with a DH follows the same path and instead of being able to talk...
It appears that at least 90% of the people on this forum and others share your sentiment. Too slow, too expensive too heavy, not selling, should have been the next GT. Most DH threads seem to trend to this conclusion. Very surprising but understandable. GT350^ or bust.
Lol. Yes the spec about the seats appears wrong.
Who said the DH is the King of the Hill, whatever King of the Hill means? I have never heard anyone say that. The DH is slotted correctly as a Mach 1 replacement. It isn't King of anything.
I am excited about 2026 too!
I see a significant difference between the GT & DH. The DH is the next generation of magneride engineering from the GT350 and Mach 1 and that's a good thing! This engineering is in the handling which is why I bought the car. The DH not only has upgraded suspension parts but the suspension has...
There isn't a bad Mustang IMO. The DH is new and a slightly new formula. The suspension tuning and suspension upgrades create a car that is fun to drive and track fast out the box despite its weight. And regardless of reviews the DH track times have been more than solid. You still have...
The more appeal they can make for this car the closer we are to a GT350 GT500 Mach 1 Dark Horse 2.0 whatever.
Thing is, just because Camaro and Dodge are gone Ford just can't assume those people will just buy a Mustang they must still appeal to new users. So I agree with you, more Energy for...
