here's some new info:

all caliper colors shown off are now known, being Notorious...
i was telling myself "don't bother going to Barrett Jackson, they just unveiled these and it's probably not gonna be there", and i wish i didn't listen
eh, i wouldn't say "scared", more inexperienced. i haven't driven something any meaningful distance with cf wheels, so i don't know how strong and durable they are. on one hand, it's carbon fiber, which is really strong, and if there was a problem with cf wheels, Ford would've stopped using...
looks like Avalanche is making a return too, but remains to be seen if it's an RTR exclusive or of all trims get it. but another interesting thing is that Burgundy Velvet is listed in the touch up paints as well. would be an interesting replacement for dark red since Rapid Red is missing.
i guess we'll see. but i do just want to mention this:
a highly optioned 101A EcoBoost can come to $43,835, the premium EcoBoost starts at $39,035.
a highly optioned 201A EcoBoost can come to $49,980, the GT starts at $48,500.
a highly optioned 301A GT can come to $63,000, the GT premium starts...
what's the source of this? because i honestly don't buy it. Ford has themselves in an odd corner for pricing and power numbers, and i seriously doubt base price will be $110k. maybe it's naive optimism, but i'm thinking base price will be mid to high $80k. the price of a base GT500 in 2021 was...
that doesn't count because those are AI generated or edited. you can tell because the lower-right corner has the icon for Google Gemini. you can also faintly see that Gemini sorta modified the "SC" badge into a "5.0" badge, but not entirely
technically, a roots type supercharger is more efficient. takes less power to drive but also makes less power. a twin screw type takes more power to drive, but can also make a lot more power. also Ford probably gets a licensing or royalty fee from the likes of Whipple when they work together and...
assuming the price isn't totally insane and i can get an allocation, i will probably be getting one as well. hoping to get a Molten Magenta with track pack and maybe carbon exterior pack, but we'll see how badly reality crushes the dream. also kinda anxious about the cf wheels' durability for...
slightly better look at that:
yeah, that definitely says "BOSS". wonder why Ford abandoned that and went with "SC" instead? but also, it could've been one lone developer adding that to a test build of the IPC software. we don't know and probably never will
it's highly likely going to be the standard 2026 colors but with Argon Blue added on. i will absolutely be updating this thread when the updated order guide comes out and lists the full suite of colors
Ford has not released pricing yet. if history is anything to go by, price lists and order guides are likely to come out about a week before order banks open
something i just noticed, Ford has likely dropped the redline of the Dark Horse SC compared to the GTD by about 150-250 RPM to either 7500 or 7400, likely to make sure the DH SC doesn't get to the level of the GTD. you can tell they lowered the redline because of this bit of a picture taken by...
as the title says, what color are you gonna get on your DH SC? note that this poll has the current '26 MY colors plus Argon Blue, and may not reflect actual color availability
confirmed colors:
Oxford White
Shadow Black
Race Red
Argon Blue
Carbonized Grey
Adriatic Blue
Avalanche
well, he did say
, but he also said right after that
and he also mentions other regional performance brands like Australia's FPV line, and other performance Ford brands that never really got the love like the Boss, Cobra, and so on did
