Looking forward to the results. I'm keeping my Dark Horse stock for a few more years until my warranty expires and have more money saved up. Plan to add a whipple and swap the plastic pieces out with carbon fiber.

Driving my DH HP about 2-4 days a week in winter here in Dallas. Yes, I still have my Trofeo RS's on. So long as the roads are dry and nothing colder than 40 degrees. Tires can be a bit cold to start the drive and not have a ton of grip but they warm up fast. I will say this winter is a lot...

The only reasons I can think of at the moment is a new clutch, fresh tires, and a free day at the Track Attack program. I'm looking over the market right now and I think it would be tough to net more than $73K on my car. I could throw it up on BaT with a reserve and see what happens, but I...

Earlier today, I got a phone call from my dealership informing me I received a VIN for my Dark Horse Order. A bit awkward considering I just bought a used Dark Horse with under 2,400 miles for a couple grand less than my current order. On one hand, I would like to entertain offers for my current...

Shout out to you, sir, for continuing to post these notes. I've been following you throughout my 18-month wait and always been one step ahead of my dealership when it came to order updates. I sincerely believe these dealer notes is the best tool to use to help push dealerships to gain more info...

Thank you, sir. I may have missed out on a free day of the Track Attack program, but the price difference covers the cost of admission with money to spare. If Ford decides to continue the program next year I may consider making a weekend trip out of it. Yeah I was letting the clutch out too...

Yes, did that for a good hour or two on my first day. Starting to get a good feel of the bite point to where I'm getting the car rolling faster after a stop without bucking or stalling. Went on the highway and touched 5th and 6th for the first time today. Good to hear the clutches are pretty...

Yes sir, Blue Ember. I agree with the consensus that pictures don't do the paint justice, looks stunning in person. The car collected a lot of grime on the front during transport. The pics in the OP was immediately after a hand wash. I can't speak much on the Tremec compared to other...

Over the last 18 months, I've been waiting on a Dark Horse Premium allocation. My dealership and Ford have been egging me on to keep my allocation with discounts and price protection guarantees. I got to the stage of giving up on this car because I feared of being told that it'll be Summer of...

Sounds good.

Which is why I have it all in writing with signatures not only with the rep from Ford corporate, but w/ the dealer as well.

Just got done saying they ran out of engines and transmissions when they put me on Priority 01, that has never happened to my memory. I had plenty of other feedback from others that pressed for their Priority 01 designation and got immediately scheduled the following weeks, but that was when...

General Sales Manager. The head of sales at the dealership.

They do, the Regional Director of Dealer Relations gave me the details when he told me they were switching my order over to Priority 01 back in June. Unfortunately, that's when Ford started running out of engines and TREMEC's.

The GSM at my dealership told me I will be rolled over to a 2025 MY and they said Ford will honor my original price agreement for my MY 2024 order. I told her to get that to me in writing ASAP. On one hand, I'm exhausted from this wait and just want to call it quits. On the other hand, if Ford...

A 2025 Dark Horse now costs $9.5K more than my 2024 build. If I don't get a VIN the next two weeks for a 2024 then this would all be for nothing. Not going to pay another $10K for the same car I've been waiting on the last 18 months. Now I've been told Ford will help me out of they roll me over...

We're out of TREMEC's?! Gtfo. First it was Handling Package, then it was Appearance Package, then it was V8's, NOW it's the transmission as well?! What's next? Shortage on chasis? I love and want the Dark Horse but Ford is really testing my sanity. This is absurd.

I think 2025 Order banks should open sometime in August because September should be the last full month of MY 24 production. Order banks close for 2024 MY in 2 weeks. It was mentioned in the past that the current model year would have an 18 month lifespan starting March 2023. My prediction is...

My order has been previewing for production the last 4 weeks at Priority 01 in their main scheduling system. "You'll be scheduled within the next 1-3 weeks" said the Regional Director of Dealer Relations. No new scheduling has taken place since because all other orders are having their...

Correct me if I'm wrong, but considering the 18 month MY lifespan, final week of production will be the last week of Spetember? And if that's the case, then no more scheduling beyond July? I understand FRAP is closed the first two weeks of July, but does that mean they won't be scheduling for...
