People around here are claiming DH will start around $60/65K - I disagree. I think DH will start at $70k (at a minimum), especially considering a fully loaded Mach 1 is like $68k.
So, I'm anticipating a fully loaded PP GT to come in around $55k - $60k or so. Not cheap by any means for a GT...
The creased taillights and wide hips are very much '68, more so than S650.
With that said, I doubt a refresh will significantly change the diffuser. The headlights may very well get a redesign of sorts, but I don't expect them to to use any less than 3 main LED elements. So sounds like S650 is...
Dude, S550 was more heavily influenced by the other Ford products around at the time than the S650. Case in point - the Fusion - I vividly remember people shitting on the S550 because it looked like a Fusion coupe due to similar grille design, similar headlight design, and same character line...
This.
While I wouldn't say I hate the stock headlight design, I too would have preferred something other than 3 main LED elements. 3 LED accent lights are fine, and I think look great, but I would have liked to have seen either a single solid main LED element per light, or 2 main elements per...
BMW ECUs have been unlocked and so has the C8.

I've said it before. Anything can be cracked with enough money, time, and resources. Outside of that, having the option to become a certified tuner with access to software tools is another potential option.
I hear you, and I'm in a similar boat, although I was thinking of holding out for a hi-po model.
With that said, if you're set on getting the first model year and are fine with a GT, DH, whatever, then hell yea, sell it now. You're probably not going to see the same money on that car as you...
The bitter irony of Ford's new Fully-Networked Vehicle (FNV) electrical architecture is that it touts cybersecurity as a main reason for its implementation - when, really, the best thing they could do for cybersecurity is NOT have a car connected to a nationwide or worldwide network.
This shit...
Even if updates flash calibrations back to stock, you would still likely have to manually approve each update before it downloads and installs, like you do on the C8. So, it would be up to the owner if they want to keep their car up to date with Ford's updates for navigations, bug fixes, etc. -...
I had not seen it 100% confirmed anywhere until now (unless it was and I just missed it), Ed Krenz recently told Ford Authority that the "entire stack" on S650 will be locked down.
See article here...
You know, looking more closely at this EB above and the new Aussie Supercar, I see a lot more "shark nose" (or slant, however you want to call it) on S650 than on S550. It's very reminiscent of Gen1 - especially the Shelby models.
