2024 Dark Horse Vapor Blue Metallic (600A, manual, Recaro seats) - Cincinnati, OH

[Tony Alonso]

@Tony Alonso, now that you've had the car for sometime- any regrets with getting 600A vs 700A? Is there one feature you're missing you wish you had?

None at all on 600A v 700A. The only option I'd consider is the Handling Package, however I would only get that if I was ready to pay for a set of street tires to replace the track-oriented Trofeo RS tires. I drive the car around more on the street than track, so I appreciate the lower cost and streetability of the non-HP tires. As cool as the Handling Package looks with the larger wheel and tire set, along with the larger front and rear spoilers, it's not enough to offset the dollars. I got a good taste of the Handling Package capabilities at Charlotte Motor Speedway during my Track Attack visit. Pretty awesome, and the tires were Michelin Pilot Sports.

If money was no object, I'd get the Handling Package and painted stripes on top of what I already got.

I've got over 6300 miles on it now. They've been a ton of fun. The highway fuel economy on longer trips has been in the neighborhood of 25mpg, so that's a bonus. Yes, I didn't buy it for the fuel economy but I like having good highway numbers.

Overall, very pleased with this purchase!

Thanks for the input, Tony! I’m going to make the jump from GT to Dark Horse. I think I’m going to pass on 700A then especially given the recent price mark ups. It’s my last V8 so I want it to be special.
