So I went a different direction, couldnāt justify paying almost 100K (Canadian) out the door for a non Shelby mustang. Plus all the production delays, quality issues.
Went with a older model used Porsche instead and saved about 60K.
Still have a c8 deposit so might move to that when my turn...
Seems ford is in no rush to reveal performance numbers for all variants including Dark Horse. Also no date yet on when media outlets will get to test it out.
Hoping to see these well before my DH with handling gets built next month.
Anyone heard any whispers? Iām hoping for a sub 4 second 0 to...
I ordered my DH with everything including appearance package, I didnāt get CF rims and painted stripes.
Do Vinyl and painted stripes look similar?Anyone have photo of blue ember DH with vinyl stripes?
Blue Ember actually looks much better in the indoor show floor pictures. Outdoors in that gloomy weather it looks very dull - Iām with you ; second guessing myself now.
Hmm Blue Ember looks a little underwhelming in those pics. Hopefully looks better in real - my cars already ordered so too late to change now.
do those 2 outside have the black roof that comes with the DH appearance pack?
That's likely it, as I know few including me that have already been assigned built week in May. I had both appearance and handling package - that's how my dealer got the allocation; pre-spec'd by ford.
Not sure how accurate that is, myself and few others (in Canada) had both those and we have VIN and build date in May. Mind you the 1 allocation my dealer got was already pre-selected with all options by ford and I took it exactly as is.
Perhaps the allocation your dealer got ford didn't...
The demand here doesnāt seem to be as high, the small dealers I called offered MSRP, and had no orders yet not even for regular 2024. Even the large ones offered MSRP.
Maybe the high price and a lota people donāt know what a DH is vs. Shelby name plate.
Your right, this was a pre-spec'd car but was EXACTLY what I wanted so put my name and deposit down. 700A, Auto, Handling package, Appearance package, Emerald blue.
Fellow Canadian, DH order scheduled same week as you May-22 ; lol check with ford performance and they provided me that info, got the news before my dealer.
So I was able to get info from Ford Performance.
" Order ProcessingāUnscheduled- Clean , no further action is required"
Guess that confirms they have received my order.
If I can find a GT500 2022 at MSRP in would take it, they all priced 20-30
Sorry if I came off wrong , appreciate the input. I think itās the sticker shock of the American muscle cars no long being a performance bargain like they use to be before the world economy went all weird.
originally I...
