    1 set of UHP All Seasons OR summers + winters?

    Either way can work depending on how you use the car. If you're going to occasionally do track days, autocross, highly spirited twisty road driving, etc., go with separate summer/winter setups. Otherwise, the UHP all seasons like the Michelin you mentioned (which come standard on C8 Vettes)...

    New Wheel Help!...Will Offset and Spacers Work?

    Generally +40 offset in that size should fit front and rear, although+35 imo looks better being more flush. Not sure why these are rear only, unless there's something about the wheel shape that won't clear the non PP brakes. I would consider these from LMR, which are designed to fit front and...

    Hagerty Review: 2024 Mustang Really Is a Dark Horse — Review & Documentary feat. BMW M4 — by Jason Cammisa

    Savagegeese is definitely not for the instant gratification crowd. They both have a pretty good sense of humor, though, but Mark can get a little too negative.

    Wow I am BACK and truly BLOWN AWAY how nice the new GT is!!!!!

    I get the impression the boosted drag racers I know prefer the 6r80 to the 10r80. The 10r80 apparently breaks more easily.

    Wow I am BACK and truly BLOWN AWAY how nice the new GT is!!!!!

    He was amazed by the 10r80 (which isn't new to the S650) when he has the DCT in the Shelby. 🤷‍♂️

    Throttle House: 2024 Mustang GTPP vs Camaro SS 1LE - Drag Race & Lap Times

    That's why the Cadillac CT4-V Blackwing has some appeal to me being on the same platform without the visibility problem. I just wish it had an NA V8 instead of a turbo V6.

    Dark Horse vs Mach 1

    Not for customers making full use of the superior cooling capabilities of the Mach 1 and Dark Horse that the GT PP lacks.

    Railyard Delay Thread

    Last summer my '22 Maverick spent nearly 30 days at a railyard 20 miles from the dealer. Pretty sure there was a shortage of trucks then. Hope the situation has improved.

    (Dark)Horse Horsepower is lower than we thought?

    This is news to me. I've been aware that BMW underrates the horsepower of its engines, but I was not aware that all of these manufacturers underrate their engine hp numbers precisely to measured whp. I know you posted links of some instances where this was supposedly the case, but it's a little...

    If you're not getting a Mustang now, what are you doing until then?

    Continuing to drive my '19 GT. Going to install PP1 Brembo brakes, Bilstein struts, and sway bars next. I probably won't get an S650 until a mid cycle refresh, unless I go with something else like a used C8.

    Tacked-on Infotainment Screens Trend

    An improved infotainment system doesn't require the tablet stuck on the dash look.

    What are your thoughts on the interior of the S650? Specifically the screens

    This is a great example of modern screens in a much more stylish design. It looks like an automobile dash rather than a work cubicle. Kia pulled off a better look in a freaking SUV than Ford did in a performance car. It's still too generic for a Mustang but looks nice for a family hauler...

    Crickets from Ford

    I waited 11 months for my '22 Maverick. During the period from order until when the VIN is assigned, no one knows anything. In the Maverick forums this gave rise to anxiety and conspiracy theories, and resulted in Ford now sending "form letter" emails that still don't tell you anything but give...

    2024 Mustang rear-end an improvement?

    From the license plate up the rear has grown on me and I like it, but I agree with thumbs down to the thick plastic below the license plate.

    Do we think the 19 x 11 rear wheels & tires available on the Dark Horse would fit in the rear wheel wells of a GT ?

    19x11 and 20x11 are very common sizes for aftermarket rear wheels on S550 GTs, so it should be safe to assume they'll fit on the S650 GT.

    Hands-on reviews: digital gauge cluster, display screens, SYNC 4 -- which media are calling impressive

    That looks much better. The Mustang looks like a truck dash in comparison.

    Dark Horse vs Mach 1 - faster, heavier?

    The 2015 S550 was faster around a road course than a Boss 302, despite having less horsepower, because of the new, better platform with IRS, etc. In contrast, the S650 from a performance standpoint is more like the 2018 refresh. (Obviously bigger changes in exterior styling and interior.) The...

    💵 Official: 2024 Mustang U.S. Pricing Starts at $32,515 and Dark Horse Priced at $59,565

    Prior to 2021 it was generally possible to buy at considerably below MSRP, but not any more. The true prices customers are paying have increased by more than the change in MSRP. I realize that's not an S650 issue (I looked at '22 and '23 Mach 1 prices 🙂), but it's another factor besides interest...

    Any updates on whats changed with the Performance Pack for S650?

    The base Mach 1 has those things. They aren't unique to the handling package.
