You can’t tune these cars yet, outside of the tunes that come with the approved superchargers. Cams for the S550 did not change the sound, so I doubt it would for the S650, barring the “ghost cam” tunes that some people got.

It has a nice look to it, if that’s your thing.

I loved the S550 at first glance, but it's taken me a while to come around to the S650. I definitely like it better than the 18-23 S550s, but there's more I would change on the S650 than the 15-17 cars, design-wise. I think the issue for me is the rear of the car: the rear diffuser area on...

Looks good! The S650 looks a lot better with a more aggressive front splitter, IMO.

The passenger side is blocked off on the Dark Horse as well.

Any pictures from the side?

VW is supposedly going to put physical buttons back in their interiors because of the pushback to having everything on screens.

The fan speed can be more bothersome than temperature in some instances. I like to have the air blowing directly at my face, and if the sun comes through the windshield or I just got done working out or whatever, I may want to adjust the fan speed, and it’s just something that was easier to do...

Having to take your eyes off the road to adjust climate controls (or any other common operation where a button would suffice) is just a bad idea, period. Sure you can use voice commands for some of these things, but there’s no benefit for the user to screen based climate controls (other than...

Car looks great, OP! Is there a reason--regulations or otherwise--as to why the Euro Dark Horses get the flat spoiler?

It's been a while since I sold my S550 and I haven't driven an S650 yet, but I seem to remember that these cars have a long pedal travel compared to other performance cars I've driven and owned. Like you said, you've really got to put your foot down to get to the power, and of course the...

I never really thought about that, but it makes sense. I was pretty close with my guess of 15%-25% though!

Cams were only worth it on an S550 if you had a Cobra Jet manifold and full bolt ons and supporting mods. I had a GT30 manifold and did cams twice (Comp stage 3 cam, then down to stage 1) and revved the engine to 8,000 rpm, and it really wasn’t worth the hassle or cost. The stage 3 cams lost...

Most of the window tint laws in this country are nonsensical. In my state SUVs, minivans, etc., can run around with 15%-25% on their side and rear glass, but you can't go darker than 35% on the sides and rear for a car. It really makes no sense. If you wanted to hide drugs/people/guns from...

GM actually owes their Z06 R&D to Ferrari, not Ford. They bought a 458 Italia engine to help understand the design process. Yeah, I think the current political climate of forcing EVs led them to play it safe financially with the S650 Mustang. They can keep it going for several more years...

That’s still a $6,000 to $9,000 drop in one year going by MSRP, but you did a good job minimizing that by getting a good deal.

It is definitely an aftermarket exhaust. The Dark Horse comes standard with active valve exhaust (AVE), which is what the other user was commenting on. AWE is the brand of the aftermarket exhaust that’s on your car.

Congrats!!! That is an absolutely ridiculous wait time--what happened that it took so long?

Thanks! I asked becuase I'm wondering if the manuals have any issues with trans temp at the track.

They're both "4 seat" performance-oriented coupes in a similar price range, so a lot of people will cross-shop them. I do agree that the V8 is what makes the Mustang special, but for people that don't care about the sound or don't care if an engine is NA or FI, the M2 is a compelling choice.
