Have said it many times on this forum, but the corvette is the american sports car that is pushing the boundary of an ICE engine. Insane numbers from an OEM production car, makes one wonder how much power the zora will make whenever they release that.
same here, learned my lesson with my last car lowering it. Should have been taking anti anxiety meds before driving because of how much scraping id get. Now that I have the DH, no need to lower it IMO. I think sway bars are a more worthwhile upgrade, especially if they're adjustable.
The DH valance is different because of the coolers and aero design, as well as the tip size. I'm not sure what the part number for it is, but I do recall there being a thread and a google sheet with the part numbers for the s650. The exhaust system itself is also different due to the...
Ah true, track tires would be best, but those don't last long with traction control off. Suspension mods definitely then to help with the wheel hop/spin.
it was in normal mode! in quiet, it's definitely louder than stock, but I'd say only like 20%-30% louder? definitely didn't increase the startup to a point where my neighbors would hate me
exactly, if you're tracking it or racing it, traction control is turned off usually (through track mode or just manually turned off by user). the tires will spin out of control with that much power. OP mentioned track, so assumption is track mode is on and TC is off
Stop the hop kit or equivalent BMR stuff. HP dark horse id imagine the rest of suspension is pretty good stock, but if youāre worried about longevity, the axles could be upgraded as that much power on the stock ones will cause them to give in. Thatās pretty much it really, if you feel like you...
Iād use that money towards wheels, drivetrain, axles, and suspension so you can actually put the power down. 850 means nothing if your car spins out as soon as you hit the throttle. The whipple kits themselves already make 800+ crank horsepower. Headers will give you more, but the cost for...
Haven't seen anyone do this, so here's a short sound clip and pics of the install I got done today for the Borla S Type catback and the switchfire midpipe. I was worried the switchfire wouldn't fit because it was listed for 2018-2023, but the install guy said it bolted up fine!
Switchfire link...
Late to this thread but I just got the borla switch fire installed in the s type catback for the dark horse and it sounds really good. Both the switchfire and the catback are expensive but I would highly recommend it
yes, im very grateful for the dealership that I got. It's hard to find a dealership that is trustworthy these days. It takes a lot of luck and patience, so I wish 2025 buyers good luck, especially with those price increases and mark ups. Hope you're enjoying your DH!
It wasnāt a lot and took a couple weeks of waiting, but just shopped around the entire country really. I got an offer under MSRP from a dealership out of the state and brought it to a dealership near me and in a couple weeks they called me back and agreed. Tbf, the dark horse they had had been...
Have not put them on my car yet, but Iām planning on putting Michelin pilot sport 4 S tires on my car. I live in an area with very little rain, so running them as my daily on previous cars has been amazing and very fun. If youāre living in an area with a good amount of rain or your road trip...
Ya exactly, everyone here loves the Mustang. Either has one, has had one in the past, or is just a fan of the Mustang. But itās important as a consumer to put subjectivity aside when a company engages in bad behavior. And itās insane to have to explain how the price isnāt justified when...
Numerous outlets, reviewers, actual racers came to this conclusion as well. The lap time may be better by a second or two, but for 99% of the user base, itās the exact same car. Of course there were small iterations from the s550 -> s650 but by and large, most of the car remains the same...
Donāt think so as car prices should increase (as most things) due to just normal inflation. What youāre seeing these days are companies taking advantage of that and using it as an excuse to raise prices to an extreme extent
