Life has a way of making you make choices you don’t want to make. If it makes you feel better I️ had A 96 mystichrome cobra. Man I️ loved that car back then. I️ swore I️ would keep it forever. I️ still see them today and get nostalgic. Had to sell the car to do the responsible thing as well. Had...
I️ take back what I️ said. If this is a true track attack car, then that is a screaming deal for a collector. They only made 25 if I️ remember correctly. I️ was hung up on the deference between base and CFTP and forgot about these track attack cars. It definitely looks like one. I️ paid more for...
First thing that jumps out at me is it has the CFTP wing but the base model rims. The Carbon Fiber rims on the CFTP cars are more than 5k each. This price is more in line with a base model 500. Either someone took a base model and did a rear seat delete, and wing or it is a CFTP car without the...
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...
Not from this 500 owner. I️ am glad Ford is moving forward. Also means parts they will keep manufacturing. I️ have said this before in my posts. Ford did not do enough for me to buy one.
When I️ bought my 500, I️ looked at all options. Shelby America, Saleen, Rousch, and TRT. All the companies...
That is true about what Ford will do. So the GTD is 815 hp and the GT 500 is 760 hp. That probably means the DHSC will most likely sit between 780-800 hp. Probably tuning and upgrades to the supercharger. My guess is a larger intercooler brick and manifold. Lessons learned from the aftermarket...
Here is where I️ will strongly disagree with you. The drivetrain is definitely not near its ceiling. With a different supercharger you gain 200 hp reliably. Few other minor things and you really open the predator up safely. Where the 500 fell short was in cooling which you stated they upgraded...
What upgrades over the 500? Same engine, trans, and supercharger. Handling maybe. Cooling I️ would hope. Same interior except the dash. Same wing and wickers. Same chassis. Bet it is a borla type active exhaust. I️ mean Ford really thought outside the box on this one.
Not the case at all for me. I️ have owned several mustangs over the years. I️ own A 500 now. Yes it is a Shelby and carries that heritage, but that is not the reason I️ will Not buy a DHSC. Ford simply did not do enough to get me to trade. Why would I️ trade My 500 when it has the same 5.2...
No, not getting me to trade my 500 for one. I️ have Whippled mine and added a lot of carbon fiber. The 500 is just a work of art. Maybe the DHSC will grow on me. It will ultimately come down to pricing. If it is in line with what the 500 it would be tempting but something tells me it will be...
