The S650 has a bunch of under body panels, but I canโt imagine they weigh all that much. It also has steel front fenders instead of aluminum like on the S550.
Car and Driver lists two different weights for the Dark Horse in the articles I found. It looks like manual to manual, the DH is 130 lbs...
My God, some of you guys apparently missed the numerous posts stating that you can't compare times from different years. The track conditions and weather are different, and those variables can account for large time differences. Not to mention that we don't know if the drivers were the same.
Likely different drivers, and they were run on different days with likely different weather conditions. These comparisons are fun, but comparing times from different years isn't really viable because of how much difference the conditions can make in lap times.
I know you're joking, but the DH is, for all intents and purposes, mechanically the same car as the Mach 1. It just has different sheet metal and some iPads. The GT350 had a completely different engine which, IMO, makes it much more unique.
I like the Dark Horse, but I don't think it's worth a penny over MSRP--in fact, even though I'd consider buying one, I'm not even sure I think it's worth MSRP for the HP cars. 70K is a lot of money for a Mustang, regardless of capability. In any event, there are plenty of Dark Horses listed at...
I'm happy we still have a RWD, manual, ICE Mustang, but like someone else said, I think the S650 is pretty low effort. It's a reskinned S550 with a new dash. They didn't even change the door panels or other interior bits--it's just the dash. As a result, I don't see anyone trading in an S550...
I was thinking the same thing! ๐
The funny thing about that was that Tesla was still rated higher than every single American manufacturer except Buick, and Ford was WAY down the list.
Good Lord, did anyone on here actually watch the video or look into the channel?!? "ChargeDrive" has 56 videos that are all essentially the same thing--shitting on EVs. This is not a legitimate or credible news outlet, it's a YouTube channel that even has a disclaimer stating that the "channel...
