For a mixed daily/track use I recommend keeping spring rate around 200lbs front, 800lbs rear.
Upgraded dampers will take care of the floatiness and improve control in general.
Sway bars will help give you confidence in track.
More negative camber(camber plates)will improve turn in.
Tires are...
Congrats. The tremec really makes a big difference in the driving experience.
I come from an a10 as well. When I went shopping for mine I first test drove a 10speed DH they had for a heavily discounted price. Felt the same as my old car so decided to pay full price for a tremec and no regrets...
Such an understated and elegant color.
My S197 was Sterling Grey and never got tired of it.
Love my Ember Blue but this is timeless. Gives DB5 vibes.
Congrats!
Fingers crossed for this.
Daryle Wengerd has been doing some tests with the 24 dual intake on a s550 and gains seem to be significant up top. Looks promising.
I would definitely love an 8000rpm tune for my manual Dark Horse. The stock 7250rpm soft limiter is ridiculous...
I think they showed the synthetic fuel as a way to make the V8 last forever.
Would be great in a future to be able to synthetize it in our own garage but we're probably still very far from that.
Bunch of threads about the subject and most of the times they become a GT vs DH owners argument.
My opinion is if you can afford both and want a manual get a Dark Horse and dont look back.
Its not just tremec vs mt82 but also the shorter gearing that makes it so good.
A part from the tranny...
For those complaining about price, know that in Puerto Rico we roughly pay 35% over sticker price 🫠
However, we only live once and life is better lived with a nice car in the garage.
Factory five and superformance make really nice classic cobra replicas that you can fit with coyotes, aluminator or even the 7.3 pushrod engines.
Classic cars are already out there but If Ford started doing that with first gen or even fox replicas it could be more achievable(cheaper) than a new...
Fabric, only the front 2. All weather also include the back seats.
On the website you can buy different versions but none specific for the Dark Horse. I prefer using the weather proof ones.
