I hear you but you cant get a new HC for 65 grand...Especially not a WB you need if you dont want to kill yourself on the skinny 275s...For 60-65 grand you can get one of the last 6.4 WB Scatpacks even with a 6 speed 6060 Tremec which is the sweet spot of the whole line between...

I dont understand why OEMs try to reinvent the wheel and make stuff worse....Like Touchscreens that have no buttons to turn or push and probably stay dark after ten years...Steering wheels like the squercle on the Corvette or electric instead of cable operated hand brakes that do all or...

Question is if you rather have a new DH or a 5 year old C7 GS without warranty ? I know what I rather have...For sure no Auto only C8 that makes even the C7 a good looking vehicle...The C7 is a snappy beast if you push it , or as Randy Pobst called it monkey motion and a leaky seal on trans or...

I guess Ford has not fixed this issue of hood flutter either...It was a known problem with S550.

Its heavy but at least you are legal as max weight on steering axle is 12 000 pounds...LOL

There is nothing wrong with automatics as they shift faster and take off faster because of more gears,torque convertor and faster shifting ! But they are boring and you are not in control or in touch with your car...Nothing beats going to the rpm band like you want it making V8 music...No...

Agreed ! I would not drag race a manual period as there is too much shock load on the drivetrain as also clutch wear...Saw once a guy with a Hellcat Challenger with a 6 spd that sheared off his gear$$$ or broke something else inside his tranny...While Dodge already geared it taller compared to a...

Unless you have only one leg or go drag-racing...Get the manual ! Between chinese Getrag or mexican Tremec only You can decide if its worth the additional $$$ for a DH to you...The Getrag had not a good reputation in the S550 to say at least but it might be fixed in the S650 , too early to...

Go to mexico once in a while to be free and clean the carbon deposits off…🤣👍🏁

Only a good test drive can give you the answer which is the one for You ! Do some speed dating and take them out WB , S650 and M2 and then You know which one is the one for you ! There is still some WBs and Hellcats on cargurus but 6 speeds are getting scarce but the ZF8 shifts better and does...

Keith here where I live lots of new Mustangs sit unsold on dealer lots so there is plenty of product build sitting unsold on dealer lots…My local dealer has 10 and its a small town.Even worse they are buried with pickups…As for the hybrids I think you mentioned using basically Formula 1...

That salesperson obviously never drove a Widebody…LOL For looks & handling WB all the way and if you go HC the non WB are dangerous because the skinny 275 will just go up in smoke all the way to 100 mph which can be fun or frightening depending how you look at it…Try a WB Scat with a Tremec and...

Looking at the numbers in Car & Driver the weight went ip from S550 to S650 and acceleration went down…If I remember right last DH with manual they tested was 9.9 0-100 mph which was the slowest of all S550/650 variants they tested…This is probably due to the additional weight because the...

About your sentiment about american manufacturers not wanting to invest that biting them in their azz…Dodge/Chrysler sold a Lot of Challengers & Chargers since 2008 but now with the Hemi gone they might be gone too.GM let the koreans and japanese have the car market and really only sells pickups...

Thanks for the insight ! I appreciate it ! We live in weird times for sure with Dodge basically gone and GM only having the V8 with AARP automatic in the priced out of reach Corvette only Ford remains if you want V8 sound paired with a manual gearbox but unfortunately without the american V8 low...

I you have a Mach 1 I would not even look at the DH because you have the better car ! Its roughly 200 pounds lighter and does not have the Touchscreen…As for the GT500 high hp numbers are one thing putting them actually to the ground is another and then no manual either.You might have a better...

Did you drive the skinny version or the Widebody ? I always loved the looks when they came out in 2019 as also the torquey 392 Hemi with the 6060 Tremec from the Viper but thought it was a boat…When I finally testdrove one in 2023 I thought boy was I wrong and traded my then 2019 SS1LE on it a...

Keith looking at the specs the last Viper from 2017 making 645 hp and 600 lb-ft from 8400cc compared to 485 hp and 475 lb-ft from 6400cc in Charger/Challenger works to 75 hp and 71 vs 74 lb-ft per liter which tells me that separating the cam phasing on intake and exhaust side was probably not...

Thanks for the insight ! I wish FCA would have given the Hemi another upgrade like lighter aluminum block and a cam like in the V10 but I wonder if the differences would have made that much of a difference as GM also employed a single phase cam for their LT1 new for 2014 or LT2 in 2020 which is...

One more thing I thing 500 hp and about 650-700 nm of torque is about the maximum what a front engine , rwd car can put down safely anyways so these lower rpm higher Thanks for the insight ! What year did you guys played with different castings ? I take it was aluminum which would have meant to...
