I've got an order on a Dark Horse and a GT both pending pricing. I just wish they would release the pricing so I can decide which one I'm going to go with. (That is if I can even get a Dark Horse as well - allocations might be few)
What spec Dark Horse did you order?
My Dark Horse order is a...
Yeah there are all sorts of "nice to have" things in the S650.

" In higher trims, there's a USB-C port hiding behind the rearview mirror that could theoretically be used to power a dash cam or a racetrack data logger, but...
Yeah I get that. Personal preferences and circumstances come into it. I really hope you get the car you want and you get it as quickly as possible mate.
I'm not sure if I'm just trying convince myself or what mind games are at play, but the more I look at videos and pictures on the S650 the...
Hopefully you are ok then. I think they just chose some arbitrary line in the sand and identified a bunch of orders to push to 23. Thats what it seems like anyway. I spoke to Mustangmotorsport today to cancel an order I had on a spare wheel, jacking rails etc. Glenn did say that they have been...
Yeah the more I think about it, the more I think I'll go S650. It would suck getting a new car next April or something and then 6 months later the new one is here and you take a knock on the value of the S550. Also I just dont trust that I;ll even get a S550 early next year if I wanted one. They...
Yeah I don't know what to believe any more, but to be clear in terms of estimates , March/April is for a MY23 S550. The S650 he said should be late 23, early 24.
Yeah the dealer said the S650's will be here end of 23 but they can obviously not guarantee anything. So if I go that route, its basically another year of waiting. And we dont even have pricing yet.
I did have a segmentation date, but I never got an assigned VIN. So yeah the dealer said they...
Well that sucks. I just had a call from my dealer. All 22's are cancelled. Basically my car will be pushed into 23, and the new ETA is around March next year.
Now I need to make a decision. Do I stick with that, or just change the order to a MY24 and get an S650, maybe even a Dark Horse.
I'm...
Just checked with my dealer. No update on the screenshot (no VIN). I'm not sure if the Australian tracking system is a little behind the US one. I just want my VIN dammit! lol
That https://www.whereismymme.com/ site is very handy. I'm going to buy that developer a coffee and get him some money...
Mine is also showing the "hotspot removal" which is to be expected .I think our cars had the hardware before, but the feature wasnt something that was ever enabled on Aus Mustangs I think.
Read more about why it was removed here...
Awesome. I assume you have to get it done by a Ford dealer to get the official Ford blessing and retain factory warranty?
How do you find it? Did it affect the ride quality?
Getting anything from Ford direct is going to be almost impossible.
Imagine doing a cold air intake (which may or may not require a tune) and then having engine issues. If that intake voids your warranty you might be up for a $20k plus repair bill. Yikes!
Yeah I've heard that they need to be able to link it to a problem caused by a mod, but I'm a little scared to test this theory myself. I wonder if its worth emailing the dealer before any mods and get it in writing that it wont affect the warranty. (If they would ever say such a thing I dont know)
Hhmm, I might be in the same boat. I'll check in with my dealer tomorrow and see if anything on mine has changed. At least you have a VIN so you can start to track the progress yourself.
Has anyone had warranty issues because of lowering, cold air intake, cutting out a resonator etc?
I'm just wondering if that may be one advantage of going for the official Ford performance lowering springs over Steeda ones for example. I dont know how finicky Ford is on mods and warranty.
Damn you had me excited there for 'n bit. I just asked my dealer for a new screenshot. My segmentation date hasnt changed and its still 7/9/22, and I dont have a VIN yet. Hopefully really soon now.
I think "serialised" means the VIN has been issued which is done right before segmentation and...
