Throttle House S650 review- first 30 seconds nailed it

[JetGray_Mach1]

I only sold my E92 M3 due to the fact my wife lost her job when Covid hit. I had almost $20K in equity for my M3 so I sold it and bought the Mustang. They offered me the car for $4k under MSRP and 0% interest for 72 mos. So I moved forward and got the Stang. I do have an itch to get into a BMW M2/M4 but the sound of the S58 regardless of flavor leaves a lot to be desired.

If you do get an M car makes sure its a V8 or you will be extremely disappointed.

Disagreed. Other than the sound (which isn't that bad) and the front end (obviously), the G80/G82 is a very good performance car.

rubbish.
BMW marketing swears everyone wants giant buck-teeth, turbos and snap crackle exhaust and all the other obnoxious juvenile sh*t.

I secretly agree with you, but if you want a German V8, stick, and AWD, you need to look at Audi.

Front =...
Sound =.
Interior =
Back =.....

Other than that nice car.

Here's another review. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

I am talking about the sound only. They sound like absolute trash sorry. Can't change my mind.

PLUS in my opinion there is nothing to look at outside, front beaver teeth and the rear of the M2 made me puke some. Other than that Love the BMW performance + interior.... LOL

The snap crack-polla exhaust is the worse thing ever. Thats trying to make up for the shit sound but it doesn't.

We must be the outliers in our age group (I’m 28) and I don’t like this new iPad video game trend.

Yeah, I’m 23 and I also do not at all like the iPad stuck on dash look, especially not in the mustang. Maybe I’m biased but I much prefer the look of the S550 interior. For one, I think the retro look fits this car much better than a modern one. And two, talking about the screen alone, just the fact that it’s integrated into the dash design just personally looks way better to me.

Weird... Steeda's review was the exact opposite

Realistically, I wouldn't expect them to talk negative about the platform that will be their main money cow for next 10 years or so. Of course they want people to like 7G and buy more of them. It's reasonable business decision.

And I'm sure Steeda will release enough parts that will actually improve the steering feel.

Noone can undo the interior disaster and that is the biggest one. It will be relatively easy to customize the looks with hoods, grilles and bumpers and etc, but you cannot undo what Ford has done inside.

What did Ford change on the steering for the S650? I can't remember but they did something, right? I remember people complaining about it.

Raties ride really touched on the fact, the GT would be a ton better with an Tremec and why Ford hasn't dropped it in the GT's. I'm wondering what's the purpose of the dual intakes if the S650 GT's are making the same HP as the S550 Bullitt.

Because if they offered it on the GT, no one would spend for the DH.

Could they un-crush the rear while they’re at it?

 

[SheepDog]

Thought same thing about dual intakes LOL

But at least they lost 2 torques in the process.

I guess these ipad screens is becoming a trend.....
