The Darkhorse SC has buttons to adjust the Magride and AVE on the steering wheel in place of the Adaptive Cruise Control buttons. [Link to SC Owner's Manual Page]
Has anybody looked to see if it's possible, on a non-SC car, to re-map the adaptive cruise and/or just add it to a car w/o ACC...
A stock GT w/ AVE weighs around 3900lbs and has 486 hp. It's almost exactly 8:1 (3900 / 8 = 487.5)
12:1 is 325hp (Ecoboost-ish)
10:1 would be 390hp (your example)
9:1 is S550 Gen 2 (433hp)
8:1 is S650 GT Gen 4
7:1 is around 550hp, or GT350+bolt-ons (or GT350-R, no more HP but lighter)

Ooooh, the info displays. That's the fun thing about this car, it's customizable. I only ever use Track and Calm, so those displays are on the right. If you use those modes, everything lines up. I guess having dedicated controls for cruise, drive mode, and radio just doesn't bother me...
Ha, get out of my head.... I have a coupe, but almost all the same thoughts, especially:
Not quite as much torque as I had expected. But still plenty.
It’s heavy and it feels heavy. I don’t see that as a drawback at all: it’s just something I notice.
I am a little weary about all the...
Yup. This. A zero-options 300A is MSRP is $46.5k + $2k destination. A zero-options 100A Eco is $32.6k + destination. A zero-options, RWD, short range, base model Mach-E is $37.5k + $2k dest.
The only way a "Mustang Mach-4" could come in under $40k is if it's a 2.3 or it's not even an S650...
The Drift Brake handle is an on/off switch in Normal drive mode. When the "Drift Brake" function is turned on, the handle functions the same as a traditional handbrake, meaning, pulling it up half-way gets you half-squeeze on the rear brakes. There's some argument if it's squeezing the service...
I don't think it exists, tho I admit I didn't go down to my car and click thru every single layer of every single menu in order to appease the hypothetical "well akkktually" internet troll.
You hit the button and the system turns on. You hit the button again and it turns off. When the...
Huh. Ok. Takes a special kind of person to enjoy tearing down a transmission to replace worn components rather than just swapping out a consumable.
Good day, sir. May your road always be as difficult as you wish.
It's easier on the synchros. Skipping gears, like a 4->2 or a 6->3, has a bigger RPM differential than a standard gearchange. If you re-engage the clutch while in neutral and you blip, all the bits and bobs get up to speed, rather than the synchros on the 2nd gear accelerating everything.
But...
Nope. It's a manual transmission. Even running around town, ain't nothing better than hitting a double-clutched 4 -> 2 while you're rolling through a green left turn arrow...
I do admit to using the no lift shift every now and again, tho
Nah. We'd have seen mules driving around by now. The s550 was an outlier.

Ford updated the Build & Price tool on the US website to match the Canadian website.
There's also a new price list built into it. Nite Pony went up $535... the base prices aren't lining up either. The main page shows approx $1000-$1250 increase across the board for the V8 cars (300a, 400a...
