I liked the 2 way power station; I could use the truck as battery backup, but locally, the truck is barely capable of 220 miles due to our relatively high speed limits and _slightly_ higher customary speed.
The money shot (no pun intended): "...The problem was they were never going to pay...
I'm closest to COTA now and haven't been other than a spectator. I think if you shop around -maybe even close to Summit Point, where I got my '17 Rap at MSRP in January of '17 ... you should be able to score a HP MDH with a well provisioned ESP for under 75k.
I will concede, there are a few...
Oh man, Summit Point!!! my former home track.
If you're looking for premium service on any Ford, you'll be disappointed unless you buy from a place that also sells Lincolns. Honestly, I'd pay for the perk, my wife can just call, schedule, they bring a loaner, take her car for service and...
It's important to remember that in the 60's and 70's, our 'gold standard' muscle cars depreciated right off the lot too and by about '78 - '80, a 351C Mach 1 was pretty darn cheap. Big blocks were commanding more $$ but not insane amounts more.
Now, 50 years on, you're going to shell out...
All fair points, but I would point out we have a bunch on here running stage1 & 2 whipples on GT's and MDH and yes, there have been some teething issues, but I think extra cooling is doable on the non SC model depending on the use case.
There's a right and wrong use case for each path.

Which is why the supercharger kit option surprises me -

WHY, unless I'm a collector or something... would I spend -guessing- $125k + let's say...
And I'll bet they will last a long time. Maybe even a really long time ... before they fail.
They sound like a good option if you absolutely, positively must have cats.
If you go stage 2, what kind of headers? I ask because the Kooks give you more power, but, the stainless works have removable cats and they sell a bypass kit.
The only downside: Noise. At idle, or below 1500 rpms, it's ok, but if you stab the throttle and it goes over 1500, it is LOUD AF...
you said msrp was 74k in the first post
not 78k. What does it have for 78k msrp?
My '24 msrp'd for almost 74k, I got for 68k in July '24. Premium, HP, auto, Recaros. I'm in a Dark Horse desert, and everyone around me using the search was carrying a stiff ADM, and 3 of 5 finalists would...
I was ambivalent on the dash screens, I like about 85%, 15% I'd revert.
the main cluster is very good. You can select between the 3 gauge clusters - normal, sport and track. Plus, you have a custom mode accessible. You can select additionally '68 gauges, '93 gauges or SVT gauges and marry...
Go on and laugh, but there was a guy on FRF who proudly copped to a +25k on a Raptor - not a Raptor R. And don't get me started on the Bronco Raptor buyers...
So... do '26+ GT/MDH get newer, better catastrophic converters?
That appears to be a new development, I thought the fun got capped about 140-ish on the stage 1 kit.
Sorry to hear that, good luck in securing a newer, better and better paying job.
A pox be upon your former employer and their house, family and all that they know.
