I've had about 10 S550's from track cars to blown drag cars. I do believe the Dark Horse is in a much better place (S650 in general) when it comes to putting the power down better. Now will adding 300 horsepower change that? Of course it will, but I do believe it will be better overall...
As far as I can remember, the Tremec 3160 isn't rated highly on torque like the camaro's Tremec 6060. (Correct, had to look it up) It's rated around 430 ft-lb compared to 700 ft-lb.
Not sure what you mean by that it jerked around a lot. The car itself or the transmission? The car itself is (to...
Yes. 6'2 with a much longer torso. During certain periods and depending how the sun hits it, it actually can be distracting as hell. I was just talking to the wife about this. They shouldn't have made it multiple textures behind the gauges, it makes it stick out even worse in the reflection. The...
Just a quick heads up. No matter how cool they are, there's no such thing as "off the record" especially for an on duty officer. They may not do anything about it, or push, but it's not fully off the record. There are cameras and mics watching and listening, and if you were to say something off...
My only complaint so far has been rev hang on 1st to 2nd shift. Every other gear it drops to the needed RPM instantly every time. But going to second is a legitimate second and a half or so? Either have to slip it, or move a good bit slower or it's a pretty rough shift, which is unfortunate as...
Man that's crazy my ZL1 was far louder stock than my DH is. Especially taking the fuse out and dropping the back seats.
But I will say the ZL1 is NIGHT AND DAY difference in handling compared to the s550. The 550 just handles like crap and is too loose in the rear end and throttle. Whereas the...
I've owned a 2020 GT PP with blower, 2023 M240I, 2023 M3 Comp Xdrive, ZL1, and now a 2024 Dark Horse.
ZL1 has been my all time favorite track car and was about to get another before the DH. ZL1 to an S550 is a massive let down. Chassis is nowhere near as composed, throttle management is a...
No joke. This generation release has been less than exciting. Seems to be very little excitement from companies regarding producing products for it as well.
Own a DH nonHP and an s550 with stock suspension. The 550 sits considerably lower.
I mean steeda's springs drop the 550 .5 inches whereas the same ones drop the DH 1.3 inches
Yup! So for example if I'm coming on to an on ramp, and go to shift down a gear in preparation to slow down, as soon as you reengage the clutch it'll take off to catch back up to the set speed. I think it's actually part of the adaptive cruise control with stop and go. It's just kind of an odd...
