I'd definitely get active valve. The stock exhaust sounds good on its own, but the active valve takes it to a whole 'nother level. With track mode on it's very loud and sounds almost as good as a GT350. On track exhaust mode it sounds even louder than my '17 Challenger Scat Pack did, and...
I got 401a on mine. I got mine pretty much loaded up with every option except Magneride. I told my dealership I just wanted a GT Premium with PP1 and active valve exhaust. He ended up finding one trading for it with another dealer because it had every option I'd have gotten if I custom...
I say this as someone who isn't a fan of Camaros and owns a '24 GT PP1 and has driven a '24 Dark Horse... I would not go from a ZL1 to a '24 GT or Dark Horse. You have a much more special car than either of those. The Alpha chassis on the Camaros is exceptional.
If you want something fast...
I think it depends what you want in the car. The car is my daily driver. I went to the dealership fully intent on getting a Dark Horse they had on the lot, and left with a loaded GT Premium Performance Pack.
I drove both, and that was what influenced my decision. I didn't think the...
I looked it up today, and lb per hp actually favors the GT w/ active valve (486hp). So if you're going to run it as a drag car get the GT and upgrade the tires.
I'd call around. I ended up with a GT, but was going to originally get a Dark Horse and a local dealer offered it to me for sticker. It was a DH Premium, but it did not have the HP.
This is how I felt driving both. I was in the market to buy one for my new daily.
I was like 90% sold on the Dark Horse. Got my loan and everything built around buying the Dark Horse and then when I went to the dealership assuming they wouldn't let me touch it unsupervised my salesman offered...
Yeah if you can't use A/Z plan on a GT and can swing the extra few grand there is almost no reason to not just step up to a Dark Horse. If I didn't have the A/Z plan I'd have just gotten the Dark Horse. Likewise I'd have gotten the DH if the dealership didn't let me drive it and experience the...
I got to drive both a Dark Horse and GT PP. I was 100% intent on getting the Dark Horse as the dealer offered it to me for sticker, and I assumed they wouldn't let me drive it since it is a specialty Mustang. However when I went to see it the guy handed me the keys and said to take it for a...
