You can enjoy both ya know ;) You can have fun in one and be fast in the other. HAHAHAI know it's a dead horse by now, but without a manual as an option, it will never be a consideration for me
LOL. It’s true though.
To each his own but I just don't see it. Honda lights don't make it look aggressive to me...lost the distinctive headlights. One thing I really can't get past is what looks to be the vinyl "SC." They couldn't spring for an actual badge? GT500 values will go up. This won't command the price they will want.
Dang. Nice. Total dream car on the left.Like I said, enjoy both
‘have to agree. The s650 GT is, so far, the only model that looks designed by a pro. The dark horse and sc just look like fisher price versions. The diffuser is inexplicably bad. I don’t know who thought the exhaust tips were a good idea and trying to force the exhaust tip aesthetic onto the grille just doesn’t work. Add to that the old honey come style grill, mismatched by flush mounting the bottom at 90 degrees, but recessing a going concave on the upper center portion just looks wildly inconsistent. The toilet bowl hood venting doesn’t help either.
I don't follow Honda but have followed the Mustang since I first saw a Mach1 back in 1969, and that includes the headlights. I like those on the DH SC far better than on my '20 GT500. Leaner and much more aggressive.
I get what you’re saying about the hips. I think it’s a combo of them smoothing out some of the lines that were previously on S550 and v-shaped taillights a tail panel. When you look at 3/4 views of the S650, you can the hips are actually pretty similar to S550. They’re just not as accentuated looking directly at the rear. I think it’s an optical illusion of some kind.I have never liked the S650 or Dark Horse until now. I absolutely love the DH SC. When I see the front fascia on it I see a much angrier look. To me it makes the GT500 look soft, GT350 too. The hardware it comes with is upgrades galore for a 500 owner looking to make some performance improvements as well.
I too, struggle with the laptop dash on the S650. And the hips on it seem a bit odd in comparison to ours. I think I can get beyond those two caveats in search of greater performance potential but am stuck on price. I'm unwilling to accept 140-150k if that proves to be the range for the top dog. Our 500's will have become a heck of a performance value in comparison.
I'm eager to see power and pricing but think I'll continue to enjoy what I have. I also can't wait to see just what parts are an ea$y swap.
Grabber Yellow is such a great look on the S550’s. Particularly with all the black accents. Good choice there
Regarding the design, It makes me wonder if there was a shake-up in the design/development department and they brought in some new folks to create the new generation of Mustang? I mean, even taking the new look out of convo for a moment; the name "Dark Horse" and "Dark Horse SC" just seems off. How do they go from successfully developing and naming the Mustang GT PP 1 and 2, Bullitt, Mach1, or even Boss from a few years back, and then land with the name "Dark Horse." Just call it a Boss Mustang and offer base, handling package, and super charged options and maybe still capture a few style points from the 550... If only Ford reached out to me for my opinion on the new gen Mustang... I would work for cheap... couple sets of tires, maybe a Ford ESP... perhaps a meet and greet with Jay Leno and his car collection....
DH in the showroom today while doing the oil change on my Bronco. Of course not for sale. Don’t see much different on the engine unless somebody else can point something out. I’m a novice in that aspect.
