Dark Horse is not intended to be everyone's first choice or best value; that's why Ford offers so many models and options for Mustangs. The wife and dogs enjoy the heated seats in our Super Duty. For more aggressive driving, I like the Recaros, manual trans and handling pakage in the Dark Horse.

I got a good deal taking a Premium/Recaro car taking it out of stock. With the discount I got the 700a and Recaros for half price.
If I were to order a car with the same discount- 4K off I would order the 600a car.

All this talk about wants and needs is great, but at the end of the day, and two door car with a marginal backseat and trunk that holds 4 bags of groceries, is a want, not a need . I happen to have four wants and have two need vehicles and have no regrets.

Just my opinion, but I have been retired for 10 years with grown children and grandsons that love grandpa’s “race cars”!

Like the word usage “grandpa’s race cars”! Unfortunately, I ain’t grandpa! No kids! Darn too late!

What percentage of DH buyers will regularly track the DH? I bet it's a super low number. And for those who don't track it, the DHHP is nothing more than slightly wider tires & wheels. I think some want it just so they can say, "Mine has the DHHP." But, hey, it's thier money, and - honestly - nobody should be telling them how to spend it.
I only track mine. Only reason I purchased. I'm sure I'm of the few, but we're out there. HP is wider wheels, more aero, lower stance, and magnaride.

There is a difference between a 'want' and a 'need', but many (most) folks don't understand the difference.

Then those same people who 'needed' something like the HP complain when whey have to replace $2,000 worth of tires after a few thousand miles of daily driving.

I say I don't need it because I don't need it. I'm not going to track the car. Why would I need it if I'm not going to track the car?

Sweet ride, @timd38 !
10,000 on mine and plenty left on tires. Michelin 4S

Sorry, I edited my post. Not having Recaros is a great thing for me and critical. My real question is if I will regret not getting premium.
I have a '25 DH Premium with standard seats. It was my choice not to get Recaros, I simply don't fit in them well.

I specifically looked for one with the standard seats. Don’t like the fit of the Recaros and heated/ventilated seats are hard to live without plus I prefer the Dinamica material.
