I do think there’s more variations to come to take advantage of the Mustang brand. The name still has broad recognition and is definitely worth something. I have a few friends that have Mach E’s and they’re constantly telling me how much they love their “Mustang” (then I tell them how much...

I was talking about all Mustangs, not Dark Horse specifically. And that’s my point, Mustang should really start being viewed as more of a niche car, much like Corvette is. Through that lens, the Mustang is expensive yes, but not necessarily stupid expensive. Low volume, specialty cars...

I don’t know that they’re trying to phase it out necessarily. But, there’s pricing power in volume and the volume isn’t there like it was for most of the S550 run. Consumers views change over time, cars are no different. Station wagons all but died because of minivans. Minivans are all but...

Some people here need to stop watching TV/social media and look at real numbers. The economy IS healthy (not fantastic but growing and healthy). A healthy, growing economy means inflation (2-3% annual inflation is generally considered healthy). The job market is healthy, unemployment is low...

It’s resin. I’ve got a few that are resin and they’re quite a bit heavier than metal diecast

They claim Blue Ember, it gets dark in certain lighting. But yeah I do see the Vapor Blue in brighter lighting 🤷‍♂️

Dark Horse in 1:18 by GT Spirit came today. Ordered from Mint Models, great experience with them. They even send mints with their orders 😎

Blue Ember by GT Spirit just arrived

Looks like Maisto will also be making a GTD, in Vapor Blue. Q1 2025 delivery https://www.stmdiecast.com/products/maisto-2024-ford-usa-mustang-gtd-5-2l-v8-coupe-blue-grey-1-18?_pos=2&_psq=mustang&_ss=e&_v=1.0

I got an alert from them back in September about them being made and available for pre-order. Ordered mine right away. Supposed to start shipping in March.

I preordered the GTD from GT Spirit a few months ago. https://www.legacydiecast.com/gt-spirit/2024-ford-mustang-gtd-grabber-blue-in-118-scale/p/30772 Going to have to get a Dark Horse too. My collection is all 1:18 scale, so I have to keep them all the same

To those saying the clear tails could cause legal issues here in the States, Ford made them for the Ice White Package for S550 in 2022 and Ford Performance currently makes and sells them here in the US for installation on any S550. So clear taillights made for use here in the US are in fact DOT...

My logic is purely from the manufacturer lens. Porsche is the gold standard on track, that’s who Ford build the GTD to go after. Not Corvette. I don’t really care how many people are comparing GTD to the ZR1, that’s their business. I’m not buying either one so I really don’t care, but a...

Well, it’s not a drag car. Has never been marketed as such from day 1. All that aero probably keeps it as a 10 second car. ZR1 has an option with less aero, which is probably the trim that did the 9.6 1/4 mile. Good for GM, should be a great car. Will be curious what it does around the...

I know it’s not an S650, but I run 285/35/20 on 20x10 squares in summer. Stock tires are 235/50/18. 3% rule is pretty good IMO, but honestly 3.3% isn’t making a huge difference. If you want to run 275’s, a 9.5” wide wheel is ideal for most tires

Curious why some in this thread think 0-60 is some great indicator of a car’s performance. All it really says is if something is quick off the line or it’s fast in a red light to red light race (don’t do that stuff btw, it’s dumb and immature). If drag racing is your thing, use 1/4 mile times...

Unless they deleted it for 2025, the HPP is offered for S650 Ecoboost. Was just looking at it on the Build & Price site edit: that was indeed for 2024. It’s been deleted for 2025…

Look no further than the DH for your answer. Yes, there will likely be a higher performance Mustang coming and probably soon. No, it will likely not carry the GT500 or Cobra nameplate. Ford isn’t interested in reusing nameplates of old apparently. They could’ve easily called the DH a Boss...

I would not use the word IF here if that’s any consolation to you. They will fix it, they want to sell it whether it’s to you or someone else. Only reason they wouldn’t is if it’s so bad that it goes back to Ford (doesn’t seem likely here). So I would say take some comfort that it will get...

That’s good to know that they at least have some level of polish before they apply as well as a paint inspection. $6k is about the average for full PPF when I priced it. Can definitely be higher depending on how far you want to go with the paint correction.
