I feel similarly to you, OP. My GT was a very fun car. Could definitely tell the lack of torque compared to the Challenger Scat Pack I owned before it. It isn't in the same league as my Hellcat in that regard, though, so it's pointless to compare.
In track mode the car was very loud...
I figured maybe we'd see the next GT500/Cobra/whatever it will be unveiled. A GTD variant, while cool, is meh for most of us.
I agree. Ford also sucks at discounts. I had A/Z Plan and my Mustang GT cost me 10k less than my Hellcat, and even the DH I was considering when I got my GT was more...
Didn't store my '24 GT. Just didn't drive it when there was any snow on the ground because it had Summer tires on it. My Hellcat I do drive if there is a bit of snow. It does fine with the All-Seasons, as did my Scat Pack.
If there is salt and stuff on the road I take the car to a car wash...
I'll do a comparison between the two since I just traded in my GT for a Hellcat.
Speed: The Hellcat is simply way faster than a GT or Dark Horse. More comparable to a GT500.
Handling: The GT will run circles around the Hellcat, or any Challenger for that matter. No need to even mention the...
I agree OP it seems like the more options you add, you get screwed. The dealerships don't seem to really care about the options on them when you trade it in. Also like others have said car production is back to about normal so things are sitting on lots again. I also got offered like 42k on...
I just traded my '24 GT in for a Hellcat and lost my ass on the GT in terms of depreciation. A lot of cars are down in value though. My Hellcat was basically brand new with a sticker price in the mid 80s and I got it for not much more than the MSRP on the GT which is the mid 60k range.
Just a regular Challenger Hellcat. The Redeye is just slightly out of my budget. I'd prefer the Charger but they're all Redeyes and are 20k more than a regular Challenger Hellcat.
I'm also considering a lightly used Camaro ZL1.
I can find both cars for under 70k - the Challenfers have lots...
As the title states - do we think Ford is going to make an "affordable" supercharged Mustang in the 80-100k range like a GT500 or new gen Cobra? Not an astronomically priced GTD. Considering trading in my GT for a Hellcat, but preferably I'd wait and save up some more coin for a GT500/Cobra if...
Tires make all the difference. I used to drive my '17 Challenger Scat Pack in the Winter with all-seasons on it and I'd add 90lb of weight plates to the trunk. I got around absolutely fine in 6 inches or less of snow.
Tried driving my GT with Summer tires in the snow in January and it was...
Like others said it isn't a special car like a Dark Horse or Mach 1. 10-12k seems to be ballpark. I am looking at trading my 24 GT in for a Hellcat Redeye and for the trade in I was losing 9k on the GT.
The guy's username is Trill Bro and you all are surprised he's condoning unsafe street racing? Sounds exactly like the Instagram handle of a Great Value brand street racer.
So much is wrong with this post. You're obviously not a gun guy, so let me set you straight for a few.
First off most branches of the US have M4s and M16s with KAC or P&S quad rails on them, which are aluminum. They have rail covers that mostly serve to protect your hand from the cheese...
I planned on getting a DH then drove both. With A/Z plan my GT was about $15k less than the Dark Horse I was going to get.
In terms of speed I felt no difference at all. The DH is 500hp, my GT is 486hp, but the Dark Horse is an extra 150lb over the GT. You can't feel the speed difference at...
I've owned a Challenger and Charger Scat Pack, and now a S650 GT with PP1. Anyone saying a Challenger handles better than a 2018+ S550 GT is full of it. The Challenger definitely handles better than anyone gives it credit for, but the Charger handled even better and both are a big step down...
I got a GT Premium, but was this close |...| to getting a DH Premium. I only went with the GT because I got A plan and after test driving didn't find the DH to feel faster which is expected with the HP difference only being 14hp.
But the one I was going to get was a DH Premium and didn't have...
I only spent a week in an S550, but between the S650 (GT, Dark Horse) and S550 (GT), here are my thoughts:
S550 GT Premium vs. S650 GT Premium (see car in signature)
Interior is nicer on the S650
A10 trans is tuned way, way better on the S650
S650 feels faster
A/V exhaust on the S650 is quite...
An entire second faster is a big enough difference. A Scat Pack with the A8 transmission will lay down 3.9s 0-60, and I've seen them do 11.8s stock in the 1/4 mile. The 8 speed ZF trans they use is one of the best transmissions there is.
I had a 2017 Challenger Scat Pack. The 392 definitely pulls harder down low, but at higher speeds my 24 GT pulls harder than the 392 and honestly feels quite a bit faster. But it weighs like 400lb less and has more hp.
