Do we know what's in the Dark Horse Appearance Package? Is it just the outside stripes? I'm just curious as to why Blue Ember is exclusive to a car with the appearance package.

Yeah, the hood alignment on the bright red car was abysmal. The car they had in Charlotte looked good from what I remember, but maybe I just didn't look close enough! 😆

That looks like the trunk was opened and not latched closed properly. I REALLY hope that's not just bad fitment...

Did I just not notice that the stripes go over the roof before, or are these different? The early ones we saw said Dark Horse on the hood, but I don't see it there. In any event, I'm not a huge fan and would take them off if they're mandatory.

CJ Pony Parts posted this Dark Horse video on their YouTube channel. This car has the Recaros in it, and they look to be the same design as the S500, with the exception of alcantara inserts (which I don't remember being available outside of the Shelbys).

I saw the car in person at the Charlotte Auto Show, and while they're a little more detailed in person, they're basically just flat lights that follow the cut of the rear fascia. I'm not saying that's good or bad (they just are what they are), but the S550 lights definitely have a more complex...

Yeah, me too, but I don’t think we’ll be that lucky. I think the front looks great otherwise.

Those wide stripes look so much better than the awful stripes Ford is offering.

Have they mentioned if you have to have a shop do the install, by any chance? I like to work on my own cars and I don't want to have to pay a shop to install a supercharger just so I can have access to the required tune.

I agree. I'm not a fan of the black part on the bumper, it just looks so off to me. Add in gloss black to the lower vents and I think it would look even better still. Then get a different hood and all three of my front end gripes would be addressed! 😃

Yeah, I agree. My S550 was actually pretty good, and the S650 show car I saw in person didn’t have any noticeable issues that I saw.

As others have said, I hope that the Dark Horse gets the Shelby Recaros, but I don't see that happening for some reason. The standard Recaros were okay for me, but they still didn't seem to have enough lateral support.

I'm not one to normally jump on the panel gap train, but as it was brought up in another one of these show cars, the hood fitment at the front passenger side corner is terrible. Car looks pretty good in red though. I still want to see them out in natural light though. The show lighting makes...

Those stripes are hideous...

I was just joking. I don’t care what anyone calls it, but I haven’t really ever heard it used on a forum before.

One of the things that bug me the most about the S650 front end are the mix of gloss and matte black on the front end, which you can't really see in this picture. The fact that you have a large gloss black grille (I'm not personally a fan of the part that extends to the bumper) but the lower...

Is it though...?

That’s pretty cool; I was wondering how high it would rev. Do you have a link to the video?

I really wish they could've thought of a different hood vent on the S650. It looks generic to me. I'm not a huge fan of just cutting out a section and sticking a vent there, but I get that it's probably more cost effective than designing a different hood for the GT where the vent is more well...

Depending on whether or not it fits (I'm kind of assuming it will), the first thing I would do would be a resonator delete and replace it with the Ford Performance Boss style side exit X-pipe. It's expensive, but it sounds fantastic, IMO.
