.200 MPH, stock? When, where and by whom? ( Ford claimed 202mph)
0-60 in 3.5 sec. with a stock `13-`14? Very difficult to achieve, especially with the stock Goodyear F1 tires. (the GYs just plain suck and you'll put a lot of wear and tear on you're clutch trying)
3.5 with a 2020? Piece of cake.
My `13 stickered out at $68,710. My `20? I payed way-way less than the $20-$40K you claim these cars cost before dealer markups. (granted most did pay an ADM though, not I)
Watts Links, control arms? It'll take a whole lot more than that to keep the taillights of a '20 within sight.
I owned a `13 for 8 years, I know it inside and out and all it's capabilities.
You guys are beating a dead horse here. Stop sulking and just enjoy the S197 for what it is. It's a fun car but it'll never be on par with a 2020 gt500
