Buddy....please listen to me. You think you know this stuff, but you really don't.Yes and the facts cannot be disputed , Ford rates the S550 5.0 PP GT at 460, they rate the DH at 500. The GT with the premium option comes with Magna ride suspension, the DH also has magna ride suspension, the braking systems are identical, those are the FACTS, they cannot be disputed even by a self confessed know it all, like yourself (lol). You have no clue, you didn't even know the premium option that is standard on all convertibles is the exact i repeat the exact magna ride suspension that the DH has, the brakes on the DH are the exact same brakes that a premium optioned GT, standard on the convertible GT. There Mr.Know it all now you have the FACTS!!
No, an S550 Premium GT/GT vert did NOT come with the Magneride suspension. It was an option, but you had to start with the Performance Package first to get it. Then on top of the PP option, Magneride was an additional option with it's own additional cost.
"Premium" is just an interior trim level, it has nothing to do with the suspension, brakes, or drivetrain.
And the Magneride suspension (shocks, struts, springs and anti-roll bars) on the Dark Horse are NOT the same as those on the S550 GT Performance Pack/Magneride cars. The DH Magneride suspension is considerably firmer, and this is born out by the fact that the shocks and struts and springs and bars have different Ford part numbers. They are similar (if not identical) to those on the S550 Mach 1/GT350 cars.
The Dark Horse brakes are also NOT the same. The front brakes are the same, but the rears on the Dark Horse are 4-piston Brembos with considerably larger rotors. I believe they are the same rear brakes as on the S550 GT350.
