Welcome to my new Website. I have been working in the computer industry for over 25 years and have spent the last 10 years of that working with Web technologies. On this site I will be showing some of the technologies I use for clients, as well as some projects and code ideas that interest me. There will be HTML5, CSS3, Responsive Technologies, and Javascript. As well, I will share some personal insights, likes, and dislikes. There will be music, code snippets, graphics, and (big surprise!) opinions. I hope that you will be interested in what I have to offer.

Take this web page for example, it is a single page repsenting the entire site. It uses just HTML, CSS, and some Javascript to serve, organize, display, resize, and add or remove elements. All as quickly as you click your mouse.

I recommend trying the Searchable CSV Utility. Have a CSV file ready and you can search for a string anywhere within it.

As time passes I will be adding new projects and other things that catch my attention. Like the Hydra, there are many aspects to what makes this entity unique. Stay Tuned!

Look closely, and you’ll see the Mach 1 is a high-fidelity greatest hits of the current Mustang line-up’s parts bin.

At its core is a 5.0-litre V8-engined Mustang GT, but the Mach 1 gets stiffer front and rear suspension sway bars, a Torsen limited-slip differential, extra bracing, six-piston Brembo brakes and a high-flow radiator. But that’s far from everything.

Ford engineers have also added the rear subframe from the GT350 and GT500, which gives tighter, more precise handling with its stiffer structure and tighter bushings. They've then slapped on a set of the superb MagneRide active dampers as standard. Elsewhere, there’s a diff cooler and rear diffuser from the GT500, too.

That’s where the standard Mach 1’s key specs end – and the optional Handling Package starts. Available only on the six-speed manual and not the auto, this adds wider, lighter, staggered 19-inch wheels, a rear spoiler with the GT500’s Gurney flap, adjustable upper strut mounts and a more aggressive front splitter. Crucially, it also adds a set of Michelin Cup 2 tyres, instead of the Pilot 4Ss.

Tuners and wheel companies take note though, this pack is not available on Mach 1s outside the US, so we’re sure there’s demand for something similar. It makes a massive difference to the car’s handling and grip.

The Mach 1’s Coyote V8 continues the borrow-from-the-best path set by the rest of the car. It uses the same upgraded motor from the Bullitt, which makes an additional 20bhp more than the standard GT, bringing the total to 480bhp by employing a wider throttle body and intake manifold from the GT350 and open air box. Again, that’s in the US though. In the UK our cars are slightly detuned. Although 454bhp is still not to be sniffed at.

Gearbox options are a ten-speed automatic or the cue ball-operated six-speed Tremec TR-3160 manual from the GT350. The Mach 1 goes one better than its Shelby sibling by offering rev matching and no-lift shifting too.

Cosmetically, you can spot a Mach 1 from a distance by its appreciably wider and deeper front side grilles and two pop-out nostrils for aftermarket fog lamps. Other tells are the five-spoke wheels and the giveaway Mach 1 appearance package and badges.

THE MOST TRACK-CAPABLE 5.0-LITER V8 STREET-LEGAL MUSTANG EVER.

Think of the 2024 Ford Mustang Dark Horse as the love child of the outgoing Mach 1 and Shelby variants, neither of which is offered for the redesigned Stang's inaugural model year. Like the Mach 1 before it, the Dark Horse is the most track-capable Mustang that doesn't have Shelby badging. It also inherits parts from the Shelby GT350 and GT500.

The Dark Horse variant is only offered with Ford's Coyote 5.0-liter V-8. Not only is this the latest generation of the engine, now featuring dual throttle bodies fed by dual air intakes, but the version in the Dark Horse is enhanced even further. It features forged internal components along with connecting rods from the GT500's 760-hp supercharged 5.2-liter Predator V-8. It produces a projected 500 horsepower, and Ford says the Dark Horse engine is the most powerful naturally aspirated 5.0-liter V-8 it has ever built. It pairs with a standard Tremec six-speed manual, and the shifter has a special 3D-printed titanium knob. This transmission powers the rear wheels through a Torsen limited-slip diff.

The Dark Horse name was also inspired by the model's understated, dark design that is supposed to give off a sleeper-type vibe. However, we'd argue that the Mustang Dark Horse looks too menacing to qualify as a sleeper. Even compared with the regular GT model, which already has an aggressive mug, the Dark Horse goes a step further with a unique front end featuring bigger grille apertures and open nostrils for better cooling. Its smoked headlights and taillights also promote a racy attitude. Plus, the coupe's body is adorned with unique aero bits such as a fixed rear wing and distinctive Dark Horse badges on the front fenders and decklid. The rear bumper also boasts a prominent diffuser and quad-tipped tailpipes. The other way to identify a Dark Horse is with its exclusive Blue Ember metallic paint, and applied graphics designs.

Every Dark Horse rides on MagneRide adaptive dampers that buoy 19-inch wheels mounted on super-sticky Pirelli P Zero Trofeo RS rubber. The package also includes stiffer springs, thicker front and rear sway bars, and a rear wing with a Gurney flap for more downforce. The Dark Horse has Brembo six-piston fixed front calipers that clamp 13.9-inch rotors.

The surname of Lambert has been said to have over 40 different spellings of the surname, and is believed to be of Germanic origins.
