So with a monthly payment of $687.00 your monthly take home pay should be no less than $5500 a month (approx 15%). So if you are taking home $66,000 a year then you can possible afford to buy a $45,000 car. Just realize there are many...
And the insanity continues. When the 10HP drop was announced for 2022 everyone lost their shit. Now the Dark Horse gains 20HP on the Mach 1 (apple to apples) and it's no big deal.
Now when the first tests and write ups come in for the Dark Horse and everyone says how much better it is that a...
Ford has already told us that there will be more headroom in the S650 for race helmet clearance so i'm not sure about those numbers. They either raised the roof, lowered the seats, or a combination of both.
Not happening ever. The average cost of a new car in the US now is more than a base GT. It is still a value for a soon to be 480HP car. But ask if you would pay $5/$10K more to drop 200/400 lbs what do you think most people would say?

This thread is about the S650 which is why it’s on M7G. Any comparisons to the GT350 should be on M6G. Comparisons to a non existent car are invalid and worthless.
I understand you love your car but your comparisons are silly. Comparing any tuned car to a stock one is pointless. A tuned GT350 will still blow your doors off. Also, let's be real, if given a choice most of us on here would take a GT350 long before a Mach 1.
Now as far as the DH, you're...
