Hello from Australia......

[Dark Horse Bob]

Hey guys, Hello from Sydney Australia. It's been a hell of a long wait. I placed my order the day after the STAMPEDE reveal and only just got my car last week. Three weeks short of a two-year wait. Apart from my interior dome lights not coming on when I either unlock or open a door the car is fantastic. I went a bit different to most.. In Australia, the Dark Horse is a Limited Edition release, set at a maximum of 1000 cars and all were sold out within a couple of weeks of release. The vast majority are Blue Ember with a solid following for Vapor Blue. Rumour has it that 80% (800 cars) are in one of these two colours. I got a red manual with standard seats. This is not my first Mustang rodeo... I had a 2001 SVT Cobra, a 2016 GT, a 2019 Bullitt, a 2020 Mustang R-Spec, an Australian-only model very similar in specifications to a Roush S3 package, a 2022 GT and now the Dark Horse. Let's face it, if you want a manual RWD V8, you don't have any viable alternative options so I'll keep buying Mustangs. Anyway, I thank you for the ad and hope to contribute to the group.

Welcome to the group! Are the Australian Mustangs right hand drive? I'm in Texas and I track mine.

Welcome to the group! Are the Australian Mustangs right hand drive? I'm in Texas and I track mine.

Yes ...... All Australian, New Zealand, South African, Hong Kong and United Kingdom cars are RHD. The S550s in 2015 were the first factory produced RHD cars for these markets. Unfortunately there was/is cost cutting in some areas. The centre console isn't reversed so the hand brake/drift brake and cup holders are still on the LHD side. Annoying but beggars can't be choosers. This is a photo straight off the boat, with no detailing.
