I still don't know what a regrat is. Is that something you get after you buy a Dark Horse? All I can figure.

Other than the dandelion (first definition ) no.2 might be short for regular rat.

Still don't know why you're replying when you clearly do. Did your boss give you a 15 minute break of work to keep me on your mind.

Paying 18k over the GT (premium DH vs premium GT) for 14 hp and a couple of rarely used track add ons is a rip off.

That excess money put into boosting the GT and a set of proper tyres, would make it a happier car on daily basis instead of rarely at track events.

If all you saw was 14hp and "track stuff" then you missed the entire point.

I miss my hood decals. the DH was only slightly more than a GT w/ the options I wanted. I couldn't do a 3rd gen with the sync system. The infotainment system in the 7g is still trash. It could be laid out a lot better, but Ford won't touch it.. because... Also I really hate the lack of physical buttons for important shit like climate control and the heated steering wheel. I'm really annoyed I don't seem to have heated or dimming mirrors. Front camera or park sensors would be nice. I also wish the car would tilt a mirror down when I'm reversing on the passenger side so I can see where the tire is at.

I almost wish I got the handling package for wider tires. 305's aren't wide enough with a whipple, even with a stickier compound, so now I need to shell out for new rims.

I wish the car was lighter, that the steering was less numb, and that I had any way to adjust the suspension besides "soft" and "sport+" and sport+ is limited to just the track/drag mode, due to a licensing issue with GM who owns the patent for magneride. The customizable drive modes are largely a joke as they are pointless. Also the lag in the centre dash when trying to flip between them is like, wtf ford. You couldn't spend a few minutes optimizing your code so it doesn't stutter and render at 3 fps on first start.

Also I'd really like for my cold start mode to actually work. I have it on all the time, from 12pm to 11AM. and every time I get in the car, it will say its in quiet mode, yet I can push the one programmable button I'm allowed to have, which is mapped to quiet exhaust mode, and the exhaust gets quiet.

At least the motor and the exhaust sound good. I had to disable all the ANC stuff after changing out the subwoofer speaker (nothing else) because I was getting weird thumping and other annoyances in the cabin.

Was without my car for 3 weeks waiting for administrative BS when my whipple melted a cat. No compensation from Ford for loss of use. I got $50 off a car wash at the dealership, and this is the only good ford dealership in my area. The others are worse.

Didn't miss any point, for a daily driven car it makes no sense to spend 18k extra. Even if bought for tracking it, spending that money on the GT would make it way faster at the track. Also, who buys a boat to track it, competing on a track with a stock muscle car is already losing to start with.
