Wow! Excellent. I am guessing you do not see many Dark Horse Mustangs in Moscow!
we have my one in Moscow and one in Krasnodar (south part of Russia)

so what about fuel - e15 will be optimal I think and 485whp is good result?

How are the gas shortages there? I've seen on some YT channels about long lines at the gas pumps and some gas stations not having any gas.

That is entirely possible. I haven't seen a spring rate chart comparing the PP and DH. If they are the same, it just reinforces my opinion that there isn't much separation between the PP and DH to justify the price tag.



If the Mach 1 prices are any indication, no, it won't have better resale relative to the purchase price.


Almost none. The S650s are tuned pretty close to the max from the factory. On a manual car with no mods there is nothing to gain.
So far I disagree, I feel a noticeable difference now that I have a flex tune on my manual DH.
Feels like much more torque in the mid and pulls much more aggressively.
You should drive a tuned manual S650 before you make these claims .

I don’t use mids… only highs for 1/4 and 100-200

Is the model you purchase in Moscow the lower horsepower version, the European model, or the American version with 500 horsepower (at the engine, not whp)?

I bought in USA = 500 HP / 405 whp

but now we have 486whp with CAI + LTH and tune

Shoemaker wrote that c85 will gain more power and possibly will be 615 hp / 500 whp.. but weight… 4200lbs:(

today installed MT street R 18/45/305 with forged r18x11 so now I am ready to fight… with Skoda Octavia😭😂

I didn't mean to offend you. I don't think the OP was asking about a flex tune, and that's not what I was referring too either.

No offense taken Ryan. I thought we were talking about E tuning as well. This post is confusing.
It's pretty wild how running on the ethanol quiets down the exhaust and makes the power much more effortlessly feeling. it's hard to explain.. Car even shifts smoother too.

guys, good day!

kindly let know, can I use c85 from VP fuel with stock injectors? And shall I make tank empty after this fuel usage not to damage fuel pipes?

BTW, today made -0.2 sec 100-200 thanx to rear forged wheels, now 7.97 with 4200 lbs and about 490whp
