Kinda cool. I actually like the front end better than the “standard” DH. I’m sure there’s a lot of opinions on that lol.

I wonder how greedy the dealerships will be with the ADM.

I also wonder how good the cooling system is during track use.

I like the car, but the pricing on the track pack and special edition (or whatever it’s called) are laughable.

795HP 660TQ per Ford

What doesn't cost less Than the GTD?

 

[daSNAK3]

I'd love to pick one up but isn't worth 6 figures to me, plus the adm they'll be adding.

Sucks for future SC owners imo. Handicapping its numbers to not encroach on the GTD

at the very least FP should offer a tune to get it to GTD levels

Well… that sucks. power levels from 7 years ago at tomorrow’s prices.

so it really is a slightly massaged old 2020 gt500. I stand by all previous comments on price.

new Camaro can’t get here fast enough.

even a zr1 x is way less than a Gtd. And it kicks the GTDs butt (excluding the upcoming Gtd competition - soecifically on the Nurburgring).

I don't think the ADMs will be as egregious and widespread as they were for GT350/GT500 Shelby cars. Maybe the first few available will have some markup, but it won't be rampant and probably won't last for long.

The S650 and Darkhorse just hasn't captured the hearts and minds.

I see the DHs sitting on lots with discounts. I see no reason the SC does not do the same.

Its about time Ford does something different. We've been doing the supercharged v8 halo car for over two decades. I'd love to see them give it a twin turbo v8 with all wheel drive and that DCT.

I'll take a C8 Z06 for the same money as this SC will be.

It's a rough time. I mean, the SC is a decent car on its own. But when viewed through recent history and in light of resurgence competition, it just is not compelling at all. Taking the old GT500, massaging it a bit, beating up the exterior with an ugly stick, and changing its name doesn't really inspire "take my money!"

This is a great car by 2020 standards. the problem Is — it's 2026. Over half a decade later. And the cheaper C8 Grand Sport and X will mop the floor with it and the track pack.

Once I am ready to upgrade, Ford made it really easy for me to look at a different platform altogether, thank you Ford!
