Some things to consider with respect to jailbreaking a PCM (I do understand to some I'm stating the obvious.) Voiding warranties are a given. More importantly is the issue of safety. Anyone who has a jail-breaked car and later has an accident could be in for all kinds of problems.

I'm not a fan of the dash; it's several different ideas or styles thrown together. Straight ahead, I have a huge display, but it's not seamless. One end appears to be an extension, added as an afterthought. More importantly, why am I looking at this huge screen with all kinds of futuristic...

I've been left with the impression tram lining is more a function of the tires than the design of the suspension. Michelin Cup 2s for example. While they are a great track tire, on the street they experience a great amount of tram lining. Swapping to a tire oriented more towards street surfaces...

Oh, I know right? Sorry, that was my inside voice.

People did tell me not to expect a lot of detail at the reveal, and they are correct. Overall concept only. The S550 with trims and options isn't cheap. If a potential buyer, I'd hope they cement and publish order guides and specs at least a few months before order banks open.

So the GT has 480 and the Dark Horse 500. Weight, compared to S550 GT or Mach 1?

The front looks OK. An evolution. To the side, all I see is Camaro. (I'm trying!. Really!) To the back, I think Lamborghini. Overall, the car does look heavy.

I'm all one for framing the discussion and setting the mood, but I was hoping for a brief introduction, followed by the reveal with some details. Unfortunately, this has the air (no pun intended) of a very long and somewhat awkward entertainment show.

Must not comment. Has not been officially revealed yet. :lipssealed: Must not comment.Must not comment.Must not comment.Must not comment.Must not comment.Must not comment.Must not comment.Must not comment.Must not comment.Must not comment.Must not comment.Must not comment.Must not comment.Must...

Three transmission options would seem expensive, from Ford's perspective. Dual air boxes? Again, that seems expensive, and, unnecessary. Locked PCM? I can see that. Wouldn't be surprised. The rest of the list seem like definite maybes.

With all the talk of "digital", "detail", and, with all new Ford's sporting a tablet-like display somewhere in the dash, I wonder if/how they have now incorporated one into the S650; this, in addition to or replacing the existing digital display in the 550. Or, maybe a full-width LCD dash. And...

In another thread, there was a post of a team which had staged the cars and displays for the reveal. There was a comment the interior designs would be shown, as models. I thought what we'd been looking at was a mock-up? "clay model interiors" I didn't expect the show quality to be that great.

For security and PR, companies routinely sweep Twitter, FB and other sites for comments related to their business. I realize many of us know this already, but for those that don't, posting comments like the above can sometimes earn one a quick trip to HR to explain themselves and possibly get fired.

Check. I've read a few things on the D2C in passing; I'll go back and study those. The differences of platforms and your comments explain a lot of other things I'd been curious about, many of the most recent articles and opinions. Thank You.

Appreciate the renderings and ideas. Thank You. I've begun studying the differences between the S550 and the CD6 platforms. I can understand why Ford would want to move to the CD6 and am starting to read up on this physical aspects of this platform. How, if at all, do you think the CD6 will...

MY24 reservations, order bank opening and production dates are unknown; they could be announced during the September reveal of the S650, just a few weeks away.

I'd say "no", there will not be a GT350/500 in the first year of the S650, for the following reasons: - The GT350/500 and now the Mach 1, have already been done - Inflation. Consumers are only willing to pay so much - Recession. We'll most likely be in a recession by the end of the year, or...

https://www.cnbc.com/2022/08/26/ford-mustang-mach-e-price-hiked-by-as-much-as-8475-due-to-battery-costs.html Not incredibly surprised. Ford previously increased pricing on the Lightning by about the same. As a consumer, at what point will demand begin leveling off? As a business, how will any...

Mark Wilson and other designers/engineers probably have one of the funnest jobs I can think of. Getting paid to do what you love, building kick-ass things, testing/operating them and revealing them to the public.

Yes, it was my understanding many countries required sounds as a safety measure. https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2022/07/13/2022-14733/federal-motor-vehicle-safety-standards-minimum-sound-requirements-for-hybrid-and-electric-vehicles...
