Savagegeese review: S650 GT (+ Dyno) vs Nissan Z

[Mazman]

If you are here Jack(or Mark for that matter)
Thank you for a great video as always guys!

Said it many times before the car(and S550) is under-tired :/, to little rubber for the weight(specially on the front). Heck I will most likely go for 235s next time around on my almost 2000lbs lighter car. No issues as such going to the grocery store but when being pushed it is quite noticeable.

Crazy the disparity in dyno numbers we're seeing from the 24's. CJ's 10r80 car was 388 408whp, here their 6sp put down 452 whp.

The 388 was from the gen 3 car they tested against the gen4. Either way different dyno's, different days, different weather, different trans.

Great review. Sounds like after some stickier tires and wider wheels this thing will rip.

I don’t think they mention anything about wheel width/tire width, but more that they’re complaining about the PZ4’s construction and compound aggression or lack thereof. So look into more aggressive rubber if you want more steering response and sharper overall attributes

Confirms what every other review’s saying, it’s still a grand tourer, don’t be fooled into thinking it’s a sports car. It’s a reliable grand tourer that sounds good

Those tie rods though. That’s what $62k buys you now

Sounds like the wiz bang tech all the kids are demanding has paid impressive dividends. Well, we can now spin a car while in motion and not get a ticket. Weight gain, slight improvement. Or diamond in the rough?

Almost thought they were planted to get me to look at something a little closer

Yup, I think part of the fun of owning a Mustang is if you want to turn it into track weapon you can with all the aftermarket support.

I noticed the same thing. I thought i highest i had seen was 406 and now these guys game in at 452 WHP ...

Great video review! They talk a little about the dark horse and how it has a more aggressive alignment. Is that something we can adjust on our 2024 Mustang GTs?

This was a great video...

Exactly, you have to consider all these video reviews are driving stock examples. The Mustang is under-tired and even with Magneride, the suspension is soft.

At this point, no one knows how an S650 will handle if it gets wide sticky tires,aftermarket suspension, and a proper alignment, but im sure its going to be amazing.

Are we really comparing now to Nissan? Oh boy...

Same price, same "refresh" design philosophy.

Not as fast as that fighter jet though
