The Germans are tired of getting beat by cheaper cars.
Transmission and gear ratio is the ticket. The opposite of my Dinan 335.
Average Joe 0 mods I see the appeal, but man extra 10k/ 5.0. "ahhhh" I see mine blessed with twins...
I doubt it was " the Germans are tired of getting beat by cheaper cars" the ppl in the market for a M car aren't going to by a mustang or a Camaro because it has a faster time.
We already know a GT350 would shit on m3/m4 and m2. Only way those things stand a chance is a DCT.
As someone who is looking into a S550 to buy, is it me or does it seem like ford kind of screwed up on the power of the new cars?
If I remember right, the 11-14 S197 GT's would run consistent high 12's and the V6's were in the high 13's, door to door with the 05-10 GT's.
It seems like the S550 GT is consistent low 13's and the 2.3 ecoboost runs mid 14's.
The hell happened?
Weight and IRS (again, weight). Lol
Still want a '17 GT in Grabber Blue though.
13.4 is pretty terrible though... aren't most magazines seeing the 1/4 in high 12's? Pretty sure the M2 was seeing the same times in magazines as the 5.0.... though DCT as many people have stated along with the weight and power band gives this car a huge helping hand.
Perhaps I'm wrong and low to mid 13's is normal for the 5.0. That seems awfully slow though for a 3700 lb car with over 400 horsepower.
