I think it looks fine but I literally can't imagine a good dash because I've seen them ruined by displays for, what, a decade now? I'd probably have to go look at, I don't know, cyberpunk 2077 dashes or other works of fiction to see anything good.

It's crazy how all the different front end treatments range from "whoa that's cool" to ":barf:"

Maybe the GT will grow on me, but I think the ecoboost and Dark Horse look a lot better.

E: yay retro gauges. These actually make me kinda giddy.

I'm an insufferable shitposter who does not deserve to root for such a good team. Also, this is what Matt Harvey thinks of me and my garbage posting.
I don't hate it. The interior with *less* tactile buttons is not what people have been asking for.

SN-95 was still the best "late model". Fight me.

It's not bad. I love the look of my 2016 GT and the pre-facelift s550 in general, but I don't hate this.

Not seeing a single thing that would make me want to sell my 2018 for. Which has a full compliment of physical buttons.

That remote rev is the stupidest poo poo.

Remote rev is dumb as gently caress, I like to push the gas pedal to rev thanks.

Also I'm just not a fan of the look of the thing. The facelift S550 grew on me, which is why I got one, but this thing is just a ehhhhh, also all glass dash and controls is kinda a no in my books, tactile switches are fun and good and cool, I can adjust them without taking my eyes off the road.

The entire reveal was pretty loving cringe, like a bunch of out of touch execs being told they need to embrace streaming culture and doing the worst job possible. The "lead engineer" who was supposed to talk about performance said 480+ and only buzzwords after that, he actually said nothing of substance.

Maybe I'm just old but the entire thing felt like they were trying to market to Instagram or TikTok or some poo poo.

These things are almost always a cringefest. I'd say this was a fairly typical "only the most dedicated of fans will tolerate this for more than 30 seconds" level of cringe.

I would take a dark horse engine. no questions asked.

The car is very Camaro looking in my opinion, the interior is awesome with me because I'm coming from an 01 interior. but more buttons and less touch panels would be my only gripe.

I also feel that the darkhorse does not look a lot meaner than the standard gt. when the newedges came out then the terminators came out, you could tell the terminators where just meaner looking cars.

Agreed, I'm obviously biased but still say this is objectively nicer looking than the new one. I can do absolutely everything HVAC with physical buttons and 95% of infotainment too.

WUT.
man, the new one looks fat as hell. its got the challenger problem where a lot of the details look pretty nice, but then they hava an endless expanse of sheetmetal around it. its like they designed the car and then inflated it 20% while leaving the details the same size.

it might not even be any bigger than the S550, but at least the 550 has a cohesive design.

maybe it'll look better in person, but im not going to hold my breath

The mid-generation facelift will probably look sick, but yeah we're kinda stuck with the S650 looking a bit like the pudgy cousin of the S550, and the S550 was already a chunky boi.

It's not quite up there with the BMW M8 "Big M8" memes, but it's close.

Only 140 MPH speedo? How wimpy.

I don't hate the styling, but I don't like it any better than my S550. It looks like a Ford Camaro.

Boo for lack of tactile buttons and switches.

True in retrospect, but remember the f-body interiors of the 90's?They made the Mustang interior look amazing. SOHC mod v8 was a bit of a turd before the PI heads though.

Where does the hate come from?

It's silly and I love it. Not sold on the S650, I have a '20 ecoboost and was thinking about a V8 in a few years. I'll wait and see it in person, but the front and rear look kinda wonky.

Sounds like the manual is V8 only too.

Found and ordered another set of wheels.
Had to upsize to 19x10 instead of 9.5, but the manufacturer already called to confirm the order last night, and said the wheels should be picked up for finishing this week from their warehouse.

Much better than FEBRUARY.

I'm excited and can't wait for them to arrive.

Just wear the fucking mask, Bob

I don't care how many people I probably infected with COVID-19 while refusing to wear a mask, my comfort is far more important than the health and safety of everyone around me!

Trying to figure out what car to buy next. Something between now and spring.

1. Another built SN95. 600-700hp, centrifugal blower, 4.6 or 5.0 I don't care. Basically my old car with an intercooler and then possibly E85. Hard top this time. Cheapest option but hardest to find.
2. 07-10 GT500. Hopefully with a TVS but I guess I can live with a tune/pulley/intake car for a summer
3. 03/04 Cobra, again with a TVS etc. Although paying upwards of $30k for a 20 year old car with a 45 year old chassis....

It's been so nice lately I've missed having one to drive. I think I'll try to drive the next one more.

I’m going to guess a 2013 costs double what a comparable 2007 does.

Delta is about 15k$, about 50% between 2008 and 2013 GT500s.
