the whine actually comes from the driver when the supercharger gets so heat soaked so quickly and power is lost ok, but really, robvas is right. the signature whine is from the geartrain in the supercharger, so less whine means more efficient. i think roots type superchargers just make less...

yeah, but it's more than just the supercharger. the carbon fiber wheels, carbon ceramic brakes, properly working paddle shifters, the blank button now doing track apps, launch control, carbon fiber dash and steering wheel trim, all those and more are reasons i wanted to get an SC. plus, when the...

even if he chickens out, there's already 2 other people in line for the spot also willing to pay gross markups. i've just accepted that i'm not getting a 2026 model year one. maybe the hype will die down when you can't get the track pack special edition version anymore

according to my GSM, GTDs can easily go for even $600k or more. plus the whole "selected by Ford" and "2025 and 2026 models are spoken for" thing

i saw the message they were gonna send out next week, and it did look exactly like that, except talking about the Dark Horse SC and costing $3500 instead of $2000

unknown as of now. but by the sounds of it, no matter the price, he's willing to do the 50k over

well, looks like i'm not getting one from my dealer. it's going to a guy that's willing to pay $50k over MSRP and i can't compete with that. we're also promised only one allocation per model year, but more allocations later isn't out of the question

not quite. it just means that the dealer is only promised one per model year they pay the fee to opt into. more allocations may be given later in the model year according to sales performance. order banks open in really late March, with deliveries anticipated to start end of June

well, i just found some info out about availability. dealers will be required to pay $3500 to get access to training and one allocation per model year. additional units may be allocated later depending on previous sales performance, but only to dealers who have paid the $3500 per model year fee

well, we can estimate the weight. let's start with Mach 1 vs GT500. Mach 1 weighed about 3900 lbs. GT500 without CFTP weighed just shy of 4200 lbs. those two are very similar in everything except engine and transmission. so we can put that alongside the S650 Mach 1 (Dark Horse), which is about...

yeah, it's gonna be a bit different. here's some specs on both Gear TR-9070 7-speed DCT TR-9080 8-speed transaxle DCT Note (gears multiplied by the 1.46 transfer gear ratio for fair comparison) 1 3.14 (2.91 x 1.46) 4.25 2 2.05 (1.76 x 1.46) 2.57 3 1.43 (1.22 x 1.46) 1.78 4 1.10...

this is probably the main reason why the NHTSA is having a hard time with this. false positives will do so much harm, more so than the good. it will also boost the inevitable cause to defeat and disable these devices. just look at auto start stop. of course, nobody involved in the actual bill...

for anyone looking to do their own research, here's some good places to start. it's all i could really find on this thing https://www.congress.gov/bill/117th-congress/house-bill/2138/text https://www.congress.gov/bill/119th-congress/house-bill/6850/text this big takeaway is that the NHTSA is...

there's a few perks of working at a dealer. my favorite is the employee pricing on parts and tires

just so you know, in order to swap out the DRL boards, you will need to essentially bake your headlights until the adhesive softens, peel them apart and remove the old adhesive, replace the boards, then re-apply new adhesive. it's very labor intensive. i recommend just getting the ones from...

the wheels are not available for order yet. and even if they were, expect a whole set to be anywhere from $20,000 to $25,000 USD (or $29,000 to $36,000 AUD, if you can even order them over there)

Wow, that's quite a lot of money. https://www.barrett-jackson.com/2026-scottsdale/docket/vehicle/2026-ford-mustang-dark-horse-sc-track-pack-vin-001-296821 According to Barrett-Jackson, 100% of that 1.25M will go to Breakthrough T1D, a research program to make the life of people with type-1...

that's an S550. i know of at least 5 unmarked S550 police vehicles in AZ, i even got pulled over by one for "exhibition of speed", but got nothing, not even a warning. officer lied to my face about me saying i was fishtailing, and then told the story to a salesperson, which mysteriously had...

ideally Molten Magenta with the teal accent package. if Molten Magenta isn't offered, i would need to look at the other colors to choose

i would take some bankrupt brand tire that Walmart has had sitting in the back for 8 years than use a Pirelli tire anyways. i hate how they have no warranty on their performance tires, unlike nearly every other brand
