  1. Some things I never thought about that I absolutely love in my new Mustang

    I think that is what he is saying, but I never noticed it happening with my car, so when it was finally cooled off, and I got tired of the fan blasting so hard, I would tap that auto button again down to 2 or 1 or hit the fan speed to turn it down even lower sometimes.
  2. Loss of power at 6,000 RPM 2025 GT

    Can't say I have noticed the same thing.
  3. roket's Dark Horse - "Azureus" Project

    Pity. That stinks. The government should protect recreation areas. Homeowners who move in and complain should have their homes bulldozed and be left homeless. Just my two cents. My state passed a law to protect shooting ranges from these shenanigans.

    I do not know anything about this track, but October: https://members.drivenasa.com/events/4888 and in November, at another track: https://members.drivenasa.com/events/4890 and December: https://members.drivenasa.com/events/4886 Information for beginners...
  5. roket's Dark Horse - "Azureus" Project

    The instructors (required for new HPDE drivers) in the passenger seat do a very good job of keeping you on the track and safe while also eventually pushing your limits. They are usually very experienced and get a good sense of you and what you can handle, and will be pushing you beyond what...
  6. roket's Dark Horse - "Azureus" Project

    I am reading your entire thread but just got to this post. I have never autocrossed, but I took my Dark Horse to an HPDE track day at Road Atlanta, three days after delivery, two weeks ago, and pulled the following: 1.17 g lateral and 1.06 braking, acceleration was only .48, but this is...
  7. Dark Horse- What did you Mod today?

    Since you installed the HP splitter and fender extensions, are you going to install the HP wheels and tires?
  8. Our S650 HP compared to the C8.

    They typically came with smaller port sizes in the heads, e.g., Pontiac's heads v. Chevrolet big block rectangular port heads. The former made a large amount of torque at a lower rpm but ran out of breath at the high end. Pontiac 455 had 4.21" stroke, Chevrolet 454 had 4" stroke, but the...
  9. Our S650 HP compared to the C8.

    Stroking an engine does result in more torque, but the cubic inches are no longer equal. In fact, many times the stroker crank is installed with an overbore for even more cubic inches. Lots more torque and power. There are other issues with a small bore, of course, shrouding of the valves...
  10. Our S650 HP compared to the C8.

    Smaller piston area offsets the leverage.
  11. Our S650 HP compared to the C8.

    In February there were 37 available nationwide, including 1 in Hawaii. This is June almost July. https://www.motor1.com/news/749720/few-chevrolet-camaros-sale/#:~:text=You can still buy a,engine, and 29 are convertibles.
  12. Our S650 HP compared to the C8.

    Production ended December 2023 (2024 model). Do they still have new 2024 Camaros on dealer lots? I haven't looked.
  13. Our S650 HP compared to the C8.

    So maybe it would be competition if GM had decided to compete, but they didn't. There is no GM pony car competition for the S650.
  14. Track Weekend at Barber MSP - 5/31/25

    Great video. Thanks for posting. With those alignment settings, are you driving your car to the track or trailering it?
  15. What's the percentage of tint are on our Mustangs?

    Wow, is 15% legal in Arizona? UPDATE: Nope, 33% minimum required. How do you keep the police from pulling you over every time they see you?
  16. Our S650 HP compared to the C8.

    The Camaro no longer being manufactured makes it not really competition anymore.
  17. DH increase HP thread

    Curious what the dealer said and what you ended up doing with respect to cats.
  18. At what RPMs do you guys go WOT

    You have a manual. Downshift. Peak torque is at 4,900 rpm, so maybe start around there, try to get it around 5000 rpm or so. As you get used to the car, that will be almost automatic without too much thought about the proper gear selection. If you are driving WOT, I cannot think of a good...
  19. VMP Strut Tower Brace & Insulation Tips

    I tracked my Dark Horse (handling package and Trofeo RS tires) days after taking delivery, and it was great! Those tires are very sticky, and the brakes are awesome, allowing a very late braking at each turn. Mine is an automatic. I am seriously considering adding a Whipple later. This is...
  20. VMP Strut Tower Brace & Insulation Tips

    Same questions for you, especially since you drive a Dark Horse now with a Whipple.
