[QUOTE="kcsvt94l, post: 14531520, member: 52268"] It's entirely different, my car never has had an ounce of wheelhop. I only modified my suspension for looks and 60ft times. The only weak part of the s197 axle is the fact that the tubes need welded. That's minor in the grand scheme, it's easy to have an opinion, if you haven't owned a car. My terminator went through 6 sets of half-shafts in <10k miles. Do i know for certain the s550 will be as weak? No, I don't. All I can say is the feel, sound, and behavior of the car is VERY similar, pair that with the fact that they've already got "upgrades" from FRPP before the car even hit the lot tells me, it's going to be an issue. I'll keep my "shitty" live axle. While i don't own an s550, I spent a good amount of time driving them over the past weekend, enough to know that I'm not sold on them. The look of the car minus the ass end, is better in person i'll give it that. I'm a bigger dude, so the cramped cabin is an issue. For some people they can buy, sell, trade 4-5 cars in a years time that's all fine and well. Shop cars or folks like SID, I completely understand the reasons they get behind a vehicle it's imperative from a business aspect. A lot of folks are easily influenced by what they see on these forums, folks want to run out and buy them thinking they're "that" much better, I think the '15 is entirely overhyped at the moment. It's not different enough to loose thousands to trade for, if you're hardcore into road racing stock for stock yes it's better. I guess this really stems from the fact that, several 13-14 GT500 guys have made the jump and are claiming it's a better car. I'm sorry on no planet is a Loaded PP '15 a better car than a 13-14 GT500. SVT are years ahead of what a standard model is going to be capable of.
