If you think that's bad...some whacko State Rep in California has come up with a warning that you are going 10MPH over the speed limit (obnoxious chime) using GPS to get the exact speed limit where you are driving...best part is that you will not be able to turn if off...until you get down to...

I agree completely.

Yes, it was in jest...but you have to admit that adding a "start stop system" to a performance vehicle doesn't really make sense...I doubt seriously that anyone with a GT is worried about gas mileage, right?

Face it, you just like the fact that it makes your Stang sound like an EV (i.e. silent at the stop sign, etc.) and not the idle of a rumbling V8...comical.

The Dark Horse does not have the auto stop/start feature...but then again, you have to pay a gas guzzler tax...but at least you won't have the embarrassment of sitting at light with your GT rumbling at a stop light and then go absolutely silent like a EV because you forgot to turn it...

Well, it's all water under the bridge...DH never showed up...so I traded in my C5 (23 yrs old with 30K miles on her) and bought a brand new C8 back in early June...ran into one DH in my area at a stop light and I "smoked" him so bad he got behind me at the next light...I'm happy now.

They should definitely announce how many DH's were sent out of country...I think we will very surprised how many were sent (to the chagrin of unfulfilled domestic orders...I waited 10 months before being told by Ford that they were only going to fulfill half of my dealer's six DH allocations).

Congrats! I, unfortunately, found out last week that my Dark House that had been on order (dealer allocation) since early September of ‘23 will not be delivered. Two other customers ahead of me may also not receive theirs. So, I traded my ‘01 C5 for what arrived a week ago at my local Chevy...

GoldenHand, I've been in contact with my dealer weekly...I keep getting the runaround...they did say that the two customers ahead of me 4th and 5th allocation did receive build dates for April and May, but that mine has not been scheduled...I will tell them to bump mine up to a Priority 01 if...

I guess having put in my order (via dealer) on 9/1/23…means I’m most likely not going receive a MY 24 DH…or could I expect to have it delivered in August of this year.

Yup, check out other S650's and you'll see it on just about every one of them...it's a rear panel attachment flaw...Ford doesn't seem to have a fix for it...certainly not "Lexus" fitment, remeber this is a Ford. More noticable on darker colors.

I put in my order back in September last year...so I guess there's hope...

Beautiful color (Carbonized Gray)! That's what I ordered back in September (via dealer allocation)...and still awaiting a build date. If you don't mind my asking, when and through whom did you order your DH?

T Yup, and you’ll pay a pretty penny for the “painted ones.” They’re done afterwards at a separate facility from what I understand.

I agree…secretly they’re jealous…wishing they had a DH.👍

Yup, only exterior indication that it’s a Ford.

I o I ordered mine with the 600 package, don’t need any of those “luxury” items. Have nothing to do with the “performance attributes” of the Dark Horse and you can save $4K…only thing I would have liked would have been the Approach Welcome/Farewell exterior lights and I will miss not having...

I’m trying to keep the faith…but C8’s are being pumped out quite a bit by Bowling Green. No long waits and some Chevy dealers are selling them under MSRP. My three local Chevy dealers are getting in C8’s every couple of weeks.

Again, thanks for the great info…if I don’t receive a build date by the 1st of June…I have had an eye on a ‘24 Torch Red C8 (1LT) with an MSRP of $72K arriving in a couple of weeks at a local dealer. I would really prefer the DH, but Ford might lose out in this instance. I check in with the...

Rebelman, thanks for the info…dealer had told he had 6 DH allocations…the first one he had to order …that left 5 allocations (and I ended up receiving the last allocation)…so far the dealership received 2 Dark Horses and then I was informed that customer #4 would have their DH built in April of...
