. I have no idea what you're trying to say.

You don't and apparently never will.

lol Judgemental much? Why do people think in such binary terms? I can still appreciate the heritage and history of something while not finding any personal value to it. I don’t particularly care for the Firebird either and it’s has a strong history. And I really don’t give a if you think that doesn’t make me a “pure car guy”.

And whose wish list are you talking about? I’m more than financially stable enough to afford a $170K car. That doesn’t mean I have to rush out and buy one. I’m quite comfortable in my GT500 ownership (which has over $50K in mods) that I have no desire to buy a DHSC.

It seems to me that you’re failing to think beyond yourself here. The DHSC isn’t unobtainable. It’s just unobtainable for many….and those are the people complaining the most. Those who can and want to will either buy it, or they won’t. You personal opinion and complaining about it won’t change that. This whole bitchfest happened over the GT500 too. And guess what, Ford sold EVERY one of them.

I am financially capable of owning one as well. I don't care what your opinion of my opinion is either. I am not personally attacking you. If you can appreciate the heritage or not is of no concern of mine, I just questioned your statement of not having ever been a fan of one of America's mist iconic sportscars. I have over GT500 money in my '18 GT, I owned a GT500 before, albeit a much cheaper less capable version than the one you own. It doesn't change the fact that the DHSC is taking the "secretaries car" into a financial area that leaves a lot of Mustang enthusiasts wondering what has happened to the direction of the brand. $130k+ versions of a car that was nowhere near that less than a decade ago, without the Shelby name and mystique puts it into a new category. If you don't or can't see that, so be it. My original question still stands. Who are they trying to attract? Btw, the GTD isn't selling as well as they originally thought either. Look and see how many are sitting.

GTDs Sitting? Where?

And overpriced secretaries car? I guess you’d call a 65-66 GT350, or a 67-68 GT500 and overpriced secretaries car considering they cost over half of the median income of those years?

It’s great you don’t care about my opinion, but you keep replying to it. But, by all means keep complaining about the DHSC, let us know when Ford listens to you and changes direction

I don't think that's quite the argument that you believe it is. The US 2026 median income is predicted to be between $86 & $90 thousand dollars. Which puts any of the DHSC variants well above the total median income, not above half of it.

Well he doesn’t care about my opinion so I guess it doesn’t matter how ineffective it is

Enjoy your day. You clearly have a better grasp on the universe then I. I'll go back to groveling and complaining in someone else's presence. You win.

I️, like you, have a GT 500 and can afford the DHSC. My main issue that I️ have stated on this forum before is that Ford did not advance the DHSC far enough over the 500 for me to consider or even want to purchase one. Same engine, supercharger, and transmission as the 500. Sure some brake and suspension upgrades that the average non track driver would probably not notice. I️ am grateful Ford is continuing the mustang. Maybe if the did a Boss rebrand with a NA 7.3 manual I️ would have been giddy. But I️ digress.

I️ did see where Ford stated they are putting the European market on notice. So Ford kinda of brought some of this criticism on itself.

Last good looking Vette IMO. Love to put this next to my 21 Shelby GT500.

Pricing is high but about right in this day in age. Still an over 800 hp car from the factory. The carbon wheels alone are probably 15k

I understand the carbon wheels are $5500 each. The brakes are probably another $10K.

I find it funny that the loudest complainers aren’t even shopping the price range this car is in. There’s a very small minority of people this model is built for…the rest of em are in the EcoBoost/GT group of buyers.

Yes that’s true, however as the loyal owner of several Fords since the 90’s I think I have earned the place to bitch about it.

Well, I would prefer a DHSC over a Z06 because I never liked corvettes and I don’t buy cars based on which one has the best bragging rights at one metric or another. In fact the vast majority of people don’t shop that way either. And since the Mustang has not gone out of production since 1965 I’d say Ford kinda has a pretty good idea of what market they fill.

Or maybe a bunch of randos on an insignificant chat forum know better than them

Yep that’s about right

 

[Franky16]

The predator powertrain on the raptor is a 30k option

 

[NuclearDiode]

Most of these will be bought by YTbers and Ford executives or Ford Investors.

 

[RocketGuy3]

You don't and apparently never will.

Oh damn, gottem!

This...... Never really a "vette" guy, but was put off by the gaudyness of the C7. C8 took that to a whole new level. I've always been a "sleeper" guy though.
