They are not drag radials. They are for the other kind of track. 180 treadwear track focused tires that come with only 6/32" of tread when new. https://www.tirerack.com/tires/pirelli-p-zero-trofeo-rs?srsltid=AfmBOorW7kCqzfWC2o-TbMmoenrK2vgGrnosMSeeJSTjDqMwVLmtJJQx Ford puts them on the Dark...

487 euro! and 0w-30 would make me nervous . . .

Makes me wonder about my handling package wheels on the Dark Horse, now. I am pretty sure that they are cast, but it seems that they are being used all over on tracks, and with pretty sticky 180 tread wear oe tires.

Who said that you said that he said that . . . what??? :whew: 🤔

That is the exact graph I was looking at, but somebody tell that DRP dude to hold his camera down level with the screen and then maybe focus it? Within seconds of that screen shot somewhere you can see the scale on the left side. You can kind of get an idea with the scale on the right side...

The "Infinity EcoMax" :crackup:

YouTubers who do tire (tyre!) comparisons sometimes throw a "budget" tire into the comparison. The ridiculously cheap ones often are massive failures in every category, trailing every other tire, and sometimes with a huge difference in important things like stopping distance. While one may not...

Long tube headers give a large boost in mid range torque. Only 15 horsepower or so at peak, but the torque boost in the mid range (3200-3500) is easily twice that, and that is with no tuning. It might be even better with tuning, especially on E85.

I do not have enough information to draw any conclusions about that risk assessment.

Great news! So, can UK buyers get a 500 horsepower version? I know they are no longer EU (Brexit). And he is perusing the Ford Performance catalog . . .

"Of course, Hammond failed to understand any of this, because, deep down, he is a secret American." :crackup:

There are claims that the cars pick up power and reduce e.t. at 8000 rpm as compared to stock. I can't recall if anybody posted any objective measurements. This is especially true, however, for forced induction cars, as the blower pushes more air at higher rpm. There are lots of dyno charts...

Typically, track tires are lighter. For instance, if you are using the max performance summer tire, Michelin Pilot Sport 4S in the Dark Horse rear size, 315/30ZR19, it weighs 29 pounds. If you swap to Hoosier R7 track tire, 295/30ZR19 (which has an 11 inch wide tread), it weighs 4 pounds...

Ford uses cast wheels for the Dark Horse handling package. I wonder whether they are also made in China. All forged or even flow formed SVE wheels have probably got to be better than stock, right?

Yipes. :whew: So is everything rebranded Chinese stuff? FWIW, like I said, Apex has a good reputation among folks who track their cars with sticky tires. I do not know anything more except company propaganda videos and such. :frown:

Good to see another Georgian - and almost exactly the same car.

And this one is 20", 11 in front and 11.5 in back, 305 and 315 tires Looks like the taller wheels gained this Dark Horse a little more ground clearance for that front spoiler.

Apex has some photos of 19x11 square set ups, so it must be possible.

Nice installation. Let us know how you like it.
