2019 Mustang GT A10
My last car was a 2020 GT500 that I sold two years ago. My previous car was a 2018 Mustang GT with the Stage 2 Whipple 10-speed automatic. The previous car before that was a 2016 Mustang GT with a 6-speed and a Roush supercharger. I've had my current car (a 6-speed Tremec) for a couple of months now, and my Whipple should be here next week. I have almost 500 miles on my car, so I have started to drive it more aggressively, but it feels somewhat gutless for a 500hp car. Anyone else feel this way coming from higher horsepower cars?
Dude. You are comparing a N/A Darkhorse manual to a supercharged 10 speed lol. Of course the Darkhorse feels slow. It's down 250ish horsepower at least lol. Get the Whipple on the Darkhorse and then give us an update.

2020 F150 4x4 Limited. 2024 GT Mustang Premium. Both in Rapid Red.
Sorry to hear that; I hate to hear another M7G unhappy so... I’ll take it off your hands for 500 cash.
Dollars, not pesos!
No sense being unhappy with your purchase!
I’ll go $501-All in Pennies.

I noticed that after 500 miles the car felt faster, others have noticed that as well. Maybe a breakin period.
I also removed the traps and installed high flow filters and a H-pipe so this helped some.
Lastly I believe these cars have become much more refined in the chasis where the power is harder to feel but you look down and you are going fast before you know it. BMW M2 was similar feel when test driving multiple times before going DH.
When doing 100-120 on highway it feels like nothing in these new cars!

I have no complaints about response. Having come from a turbo 2 litre with 7spd DSG the mustang feels lazier at low revs/speed, but is far quicker from 80-100 kmh up.
