@sk47 Just to throw this out there, YMMV, but remember this is a base model GT.
@beefcake just ran a 8.8 in his 24’ GT which was similarly speced.
The point being you could kop the whip and slowly build it out with high end aftermarket parts over the course of several years and then you’d have...
$48k OTD for a s650 is a steal.
There is no other v8 M6 option in the world, literally, for that price.
I paid $46k for a s550 300a M6 with 2500 miles and Roush P2 blower installed back in 23’
So methinks that’s a fantastic deal. Like you, I don’t like the “sight unseen” but from a business...
I know the listing says this whip is "black" but it sure looks like the shade you are looking for:

There is a renown...
Yes, that’s the s650 platform. The final year for the Roush branded S3 as a production car was 2021 iirc
A Roush S2 could be upgraded to a S3 by a Ford dealership. But, I could be mistaken
I believe Roush ceased production of the S3 officially after 2021 citing CARB emissions regulations.
The S3 was only available as an after production mod thru a Ford dealership
I found myself in a very similar situation last year.
We went t56 swap because we are boosted. Arguably the best decision I’ve made with my build thus far.
You will definitely need a new clutch and driveshaft. @beefcake has a kit with everything included.
good luck
It is entirely possible to get sold a bill of goods by a dealership even if you’re doing your diligence to be careful to not get taken advantage of.
When I bought my s550 the dealer lied about the “fine print” of my powertrain warranty.
Shady people always do shady stuff and no amount of...
@Hammerhead13579 congrats my man!
I always enjoy seeing people reach goals and pushing themselves!
So where do you go from here? Bask in the glory of the moment and wait to see what comes next?
True Story: July 4th, 2025 the Facebook algorithms showed me Texas Speed was running a sale on their Coyote built motors.
I called Beefcake on his personal cell phone during one of the biggest holidays of the year and he dropped everything, matched the price for the built motor from TSP and...
I always just call Terry “Beefcake” on his personal cell phone and he gives me a discount that is better than everybody else…Seriously, Terry takes my call all the time no matter what…lol
The Jackhammer is a dope whip. So is the Stage 3. Whatever you do make sure you get the right cooling mods. FI Interchiller is the end all be all solution to heat soak.
Good Luck
We are t56 Magnum swapped. This trans will hold big power but probably not 3.8 Whipple big power…lol…
Eventually I will either go for a face plated t56 or th400 or powerglide
@engineermike we already have everything in place, the foundation for big power is already there.
