Guys, I love me some Mustangs, I do. Nothing sounds better. But be realistic for a minute. For less than $80 large + shipping you can get a 2026 C8 with the Z51 package. It is NA, weighs substantially less than the SC, puts up 2.8/11.1/185 and would embarrass the SC badly at the track. And with...

OP I would sure suggest you somehow confirm this before you spend too much money that you can’t recover if there’s a problem. My wife’s Subie Ascent had 12,000 miles on it and replacing just one tire threw the computers into apoplexy. Wound up having to replace the entire set.

How one chooses to feel is up to himself. And internet discussion is by nature centered around opinion, which is what I offered up. I’m in no way offended if you choose to ignore it. I will say something as important as standard tire fitment almost certainly had to have high level engineering...

I don’t know how it could be possible to beat the factory Dark Horse HP setup. I really don’t. If one cannot deal with the fairly frequent Trofeo RS replacement cost and a tiny (no kidding, not much) bit of tramlining the HP Dark Horse wasn’t the right decision for you to start with. I wouldn’t...

IMO changing the Trofeo RS tires will change the entire character of the car. They’re a huge part of what makes the HP car what it is. Yes, they do all the things you say and that’s just what they do. Tramlining and other bad behavior is just part of the trade off to get a Mustang that could...

Pretty much every non-factory engine swap requires mods to fit. First time I went to drop a 427 BBC in a ‘57 Bel Air I ran into firewall clearance problems. My buddy said hold on, I’ll get special tool BFH and fix that. Yeah, didn’t take long.

Turns out the stock DH w/ HP takes a 2.5” speed bump straight on just fine. No rub or scrape. This with is 400# total of driver and passenger aboard. To my surprise this is true both before and after the underbody strakes were installed up front. Gotta say I was pleasantly surprised! I will...

A Panamera is cool, but it’s no 911. Just sayin’. And remember, an ICE is technically still an ICE even if you duct tape an electric assist motor to it and add weight, heat, complexity and cost. But in the strictest sense of the word a hybrid breaks no promises.

And lest we forget my personal favorite…

Always thinking about simplifying my life at this advanced age by thinning the herd a bit, so I went and briefly looked at a new Z06 last weekend. I got down to three Mustangs from four on a 2-for-1 trade in December and I was thinking maybe another such trade would get me down to two sports...

Stipulated, proudly born and bred. Frequently mistaken however, with no intent or effort, for a neutral sounding midwesterner on the phone. Contrary to stereotypes generated and spread by ignorance and bias, we’re not all descendants of that unfortunate couple who is always interviewed after...

I like Richard Hammond and I think I would have enjoyed that first video had it only been done in English. Perhaps I should look into Google Translate or the like.

Uhhh, $$$. Why build something they can’t sell profitably in volume?

And that right there speaks the 100% truth. It just doesn’t make sense engineering wise or mechanically for Ford to bust their collective hump to gain 20-30 NA hp when 750-800 is right around the corner with tried and true FI. Now maybe they’d change some minor intake piece and claim a 10 hp...

Don’t still have this one but I thought it was pretty while I had it.

I go back and forth on the mod issue depending on the weather and my mood, both of which can change in a flash. In the end I’m most likely to leave mine alone. They’re pretty darn fast stock anyway and a lot of fun. And they always start when I push the button, which at my age is important. I...

A wise and solid plan IMO.

I don’t know and as a street guy I don’t especially care. But it sure looks cool.

Question is, if we do get it how much will it cost? Before ADM and Mecum Premium of course. Oh, and what about the weight?

OP, you gotta be excited and we’re all excited for you! Admittedly i know nothing about the Ford order process but I cannot imagine how it could take a year to order anything. That’s the biggest reason I‘ve never had Dave Kindig build me a car. Well, that and at my age I don’t buy green...
