Should I sell?

[robvas]

To be honest no and I’m not saying whipple is bad. I just feel like a lot of s650’s are copy and paste because the lack of parts rn. Like all boosted s650’s are a whipple till pro charger gets approved

You can get the Roush as well

But it's not like the S550 Whipple cars arent copy and paste

The roush is there but it’s still the same type.

An s550 can have ess, vortech, roush, whipple, single or twin turbos, and tuned with nitrous

Mach 1!!!

Probably what I’m leaning towards the most

I don't believe ESS makes a SC for S650s. I see all these posts on YouTube about how great they are. A Whipple will rip your car to threads. If it fails you'll lose 10k for the preci of the failed Whipple , 2.5k in installation, and may need a new engine because of parts from your Whipple may damage it. For a good daily driver Id go ProCharger. Or maybe you could find a 2023 Mach 1 like I drove home yesterday for my Father in-law. Costed only 38K. Best Mustang I ever drove. It will get a ProCharger. Having an H-Pipe installed presently.

The prices are much better than Procharger. But who knows how much it will be for the S650 version. ProCharger for the S650 is extremely expensive, and if you want painted or polished the price just for the mounting bracket is about $275. Guess I may wait too. But the Procharger has a nicer selection of BOVs than ESS.

Ess is the good bang for your buck to add some power but nothing that is crazy that’s why I want it

It's save lots of wear and tear on the bottom end. Since I have a 3.73 I'm not so worried about bottom end power. I'm lucky I didn't roast a half axle on my GT 10 speed3.55. Had 18 inch wheels and they'd spin quick. Couldn't get much traction either. Maybe if I put 20 inch wheels it'd been better.

I agree with @Bikeman315 if you weren’t happy with the car, then boost it or sell it.

Coming from a boosted S550, which was an automatic, stepping into the dark horse with manual tremec has been a joy to experience. However, going from 750 down to 500 was a bit of a disappointment but only for a couple of months and then….

…. I boosted it. And now it is a monster and I love every second of it. Climbing into an automatic and hanging on as you smashed the pedal is fun for a couple of months but nothing beats fighting an 800 hp monster while you are rowing gears. That is a driver’s experience.

I mean, saying that cars are a copy paste of each other is kind of redundant. These cars have four wheels, four tires, run on gasoline, have rearview mirrors, wiper blades, turn signals, they are all essentially copy paste with a different flavour here in there.

Good to know I’ve never been in one

I would definitely test drive to see.

While not a C8, I daily drove a C7 corvette with competition seats and I really liked it. Even drove it for hours on end with no problems.

comfortability is a huge personal thing. Your age, body type, height etc play a massive role.

I don’t think I’m always unhappy I’m just no consistently happy. And I do really miss manual.

The tech is definitely a plus the gt500 probably would be to much of a back step. I was kinda thinking maybe a c7 z06 maybe
