I don't mind the decal on the Dark Horse. The issue I see is the decals not lasting as long and causing paint issues as the time goes on. Reason being, why I will be taking mine off.
I agree as well, the more Blue Ember, the cleaner it will look.
If you had an agreement beforehand, and they changed it at last minute, then you should let Ford know and report it to the FTC. Also remember to write a "nice" google review for the dealer with your experience.
Keep this in mind as well as other advice other members have given when looking around for another dealer.
Edit: Also, since you are in the Socal Area, I would recommend Theodore Robins Ford.
Interesting, but the results were as expected. It would be a better comparison between the Mach 1 & Dark Horse. Hopefully someone does the comparison to see any difference if any.
HP=WHPā1/(1āDL)
While it's not exact, it's just an estimate as you are right, the drivetrain loss varies due to many other factors. I just went with the basic 15% and did the math, although I wouldn't be upset if the car makes more than the rated 500hp.
Looks sweetšš¼ If you get a chance can you take a picture of the key fobs? Just wondering if they are similar to the GT ones or slightly different.
In Norcal, I asked my dealer about when they were getting their 2024 mustangs. They told me a few are shipping this week and should be arriving between 9/1-9/7. I'll probably go by next week and see if it's true.
