Staying as close to stock diameters as possible makes sense, but it's quite annoying for options to be so limited.

This must be an S650 thing. I came from an S550 and don't recall seeing this issue discussed in the 6g forum. I wonder what the threshold is for having problems. I currently have a GT performance pack with 27" diameter tires up front. The three front tire options I'm considering with...

It's the width. 10 inches is the maximum you can run with the same offset front and rear. A wider wheel with +35 offset in back will poke outside the fender and in front will contact the strut on the inside.

That's a big part of it. Another reason is to maximize traction up front. These cars have heavy front ends, so they need as much rubber as possible for hard cornering. That's why you often see 19x11 all the way around for track use.

No need to change the shocks and struts unless you are also replacing the springs and possibly other suspension components with the goal of better handling on twisty roads or track use. Same with sway bars. They will help the car corner flatter but the car will ride a little stiffer. It won't...

I don't think he's going to be taking delivery of this car. He bought a BMW M2 and was contemplating replacing that with a Dark Horse. But I could (once again) be out of the loop. :)

Went to a classic car show as a spectator this morning to look at the cars. I parked next to a sweet Shelby GT350. By the time I left another friend had joined. :thumbsup:

If it's this video, the comparison likely isn't valid. The owner with the H pipe says his mods are the H pipe and quad tips. This likely means his car has the non-active exhaust, which came with dual tips. So the two cars likely have different mufflers, which impacts the sound considerably. I...

Your kids will no longer be riding in the back seat of that Mustang well before they're out of your house. Unless you also have a plan to stunt their growth. :giggle:

GT MT82: 1st (3.237), 2nd (2.104), 3rd (1.422), 4th (1.000), 5th (0.814), and 6th (0.622). Dark Horse Tremec: 1st (3.25:1), 2nd (2.23:1), 3rd (1.61:1), 4th (1.24:1), 5th (1.00:1), 6th (0.63:1). As I recall the major change came with the 2018 refresh. The 15-17 GT MT82s had even lower ratios...

I'm referring to the transmission gear ratios, not the rear end ratio.

Congrats on the car! This plan looks good but I would do the stop the hop kit at the same time as the other suspension mods to save on installation cost unless you're doing it all yourself. Also, I would skip the differential bushing inserts on a daily driver. One question: why replace the front...

I noticed the same thing. It"s because the gear ratios in the manual GT are very tall. If the Dark Horse with the Tremec is like the Mach 1, it has lower gear ratios. Also, a Dark Horse will handle quite a bit better than the non performance pack GT you drove.

I wasn't trying to be critical. Mostly making fun of myself for feeling like I was out of touch every time I come back to this forum. :) I understand why your appreciation for mountain road driving makes the M2 appealing.

Wow, you and @exm move too fast for me to keep up. 😆 So earlier this month you posted that your ordered GT had gone into production. Since then you must have canceled that order and bought an M2. Now you want to by a Dark Horse. :crazy: :wink: First, since you want a manual the Dark Horse would...

I ordered mine in September and it was ready at the dealership in 3 months, plus a few days. It seemed like it was taking 4 months for most people here who ordered in the summer of '25 but I've seen a couple who were quicker than mine. The biggest variances seem to be in the time from when the...

Funny, I had actually forgotten you bought a set of those. If I had remembered, I would have been confused by this thread because I hadn't seen the post where you put them up for sale.

What brand are these 111 and 112 wheels?

This is the closest I can find.

111 grey.
