What are the events for the DH school? Just curious how they compare to the Mach 1/GT 500 School. The Mach 1 did the drift car, acceleration/braking runs, figure 8, and then the track/roval sessions. The GT500 added an additional drag strip portion I believe. I thought maybe DH would add a...
I see the full defense of union workers who got ridiculous raises despite this still going on since 2015 is in full effect. I am sorry but there is no excuse for this kind of stuff. I had so many issues on my 2016 of the fit/finish variety. These were issues that would never have passed a QC...
Based on the small group discussion we had with the brand manager at Barber's, I am still convinced there will be no mustang in S650 wearing Shelby coming out of Ford directly like the GT350 or 500. I think this will wear either Cobra or a DH variant such as DH 500 or something along those...
One of the best summaries of S650 I have read. It is ok. The interior/tech refinements I was hoping for were actual improvements like a PDR, heads up display...not tacked on screens with a spinny Unreal mustang...hooray? Lol at people who seem to think they got refinement on par with a BMW...
Saw this today. I had a Lot of the same questions as others but this will probably do well...cost is high but having it off the dealer floor and financed with the car will help sell it. I imagine factory extended warranties will include this as well with the car if the film is on par with Xpel...
At this point, I will be surprised if Ford keeps licensing the Shelby name. DH was a direct departure from that and if it will keep costs down on the special variants, maybe they should. The entire GTX and DH line that we see them pushing shows a strategy to get away from Shelby and push Ford...
Thanks for confirming that note on the 10 speed AT that there were no hardware changes. Now Ford should do the right thing and re-flash every S550 10 speed to this updated programming if it truly smooths out the experience. The S550 tuning on the 10 speed was atrocious...especially compared to...
Ridiculous-you were right to walk away. These cars are 45K+ now. Inexcusable. And these workers want how much for raises...pensions, 4 day work weeks?! GTFOH. My 14K Nissan Versa beater car has better QC than this...not even kidding. Compared to my wife's Kia Telluride...they are not even in the...
they threw that out in 19...guess S650 kept that penny pinching! First thing I noticed from my 16 to the Mach 1. They also got rid of the hooks on the back of headrest...I didn't use them anyways but thought that was odd too. Did S650 bring those back?
I warned my dealer I wouldn't take the car if they did that...it was pre-COVID insanity so that held sway then and they wanted the sale...now they would just sell it out from under you.
I will admit that is a bad ass car. Impressed to see 50/50 balance without going mid-engine like C8. I am surprised to see the 5.2 back...I hope that carries into a GT500 at a more reasonable price...I will be very interested. Hope some rich person near me buys one so I can see it at our Cars...
And a sister question; why didn't the Recaros get heating/cooling this time around like the Camaro. So many things in this were done in a lazy fashion...consequence of the competition dying. But they are super proud of those tacked on screens.
