What are you cross shopping?

21-23 Mach 1 HP
15-20 GT350
23 BMW M2
20-22 GT500
23 C8 Corvette
23 CT4 Blackwing
24 Mustang GT

2+ years and a lot of research later, a Dark Horse HP is what I went with. No regrets yet other than the wait.

The ONLY thing holding me back from the Mustang is the year round driving factor. What fun is a car if I can't drive it all year?

The Dark Horse is actually for my wife. We were cross shopping it against the C8 but she wanted to get back in a mustang and she fell in love with the s650 when she saw the release photos. Plus my MSRP dealer told us if we purchase the DH we move to the top of the list for the S650 GT500 @ MSRP when announced so that solidified our decision.

You can drive it year round if you aren't stupid with it. Get a dedicated set of winters, don't slam the thing, get some weight to put over the rears if you don't know how to manipulate the throttle below 3k rpm. Oh and don't drive in a blizzard if you can avoid it. Rust proofing will also help preserve it.

Once you get used to the scorching summers, Texas is great because you actually can enjoy a car on summer tires all year round. There might be the odd week here and there during the first quarter of the year where it falls below 45 degrees.

Depends on where in Texas. The panhandle gets pretty cold and we get a fair amount of snow each year as well. Texas is a big state.

Ah that’s fair. Dallas gets snow and it’s not even that far north. I’m talking Houston which is borderline a coastal city. Galveston is like an hour away.

This is relevant to me, because I'm looking at either an S650 Dark Horse, vs a Supra 3.0 (manual). I know I need at least another V8 in my life, but the Porsche will be traded in on a C8 Stingray vert in the next 2 years (this is life with the wait list still up here....).

Pros of the S650 DH are V8 and back seats for daughter, whereas pros for the Supra are it's more of a foil for my future C8 (10 in shorter wheelbase, sweet turbo I6 vs monster NA V8), and I could always sell it for minimal loss if I change my mind down the road, since production is small and set to end around MY2025/2026. Sticker vs sticker, Supra is also a good 10 grand cheaper than a Dark Horse up here (supposedly).

I am eyeballing a green mach 1 with the handling package. Same price as my order. Im probably gonna pass but I think I could live with that as an alt.

Hope you have that in writing, always see it in M6G and other forums of loyal customers getting screwed. Not just single purchases either, I'm talking about several decades loyal and the dealer going after the ADM money.

I had a long time to figure out what I wanted; the good news is that there are a lot of options. Anyhoo, I ended up ordering a GT. After my last trade in for my now Kia K5, I knew that it was only a matter of time before getting something else; I just needed some extra cash. Originally, I was going for a C8 Z06 or E-Ray, but then the prices went way up and I was angling for a Stingray; also in the running were weirdly, a Lucid Air (Pure), an Audi E-Tron GT, and an Audi RS6 Avant (I almost pulled the trigger on that one on the lot in 2020 but was beaten out by another buyer). I was thinking of keeping the Kia and going with a Stingray, but weighing the cost plus 2 year wait, a 2+2 Mustang 5.0 (a first for me) with the new exterior, really modern interior, and trading in the Kia was a no-brainer for me.

BMW 8-Series convertible
BMW 4-Series convertible
Ford Bronco
Cadillac CTS-V

But at the end of the day it will wind up being the Mustang due to price and configuration (V8, stick, convertible)
