This car should come with active exhaust not as an add on especially for the price it starts at. Also even with the performance pack it should be 50k or less OTD to be worth it in my opinion. You can find low mile Mach 1's which is a better vehicle for cheaper.
Yeah with significant price hike I’d expect more standard features especially AE for GT. I’m starting to see 3-4k off msrp for GT so maybe that’s a good sign
That's good news, i talked to a dealership near me and they said 10k add on for a dark horse but a GT would be MSRP and i'm sure that could be negotiated down@@Red5oh
I saw the 2024 GT at a local dealership and disliked it. To me, the exterior looks like plastic. The dash looks like the screens were pasted on and look out of place. Truth be told, I like my 2018 GT looks much more, in and out.
Yeah I am biased to S550 as well, but have to say the interior is an upgrade. Exterior is just different wouldn't really call it an upgrade, but our S550s are plenty capable
You’re right, you don’t “need” much of what you get extra in the GT Premium - But I want them! If I specked out a 2024 S650 similar to my 2018 GT Premium, the MSL would be $60,000 + $5,000 sales tax. Think I’ll be keeping my 2018 for a couple of more years. The car is damn near perfect! Also, still can’t get past the iPad dash 😬 Happy motoring 🤠
The big question I have is, is the 10sp better? Is is smoother in all the modes? Do the paddle shifters still take forever to activate a gear change? I have red '22 GT and I find the 10sp disappointing
I found it to be a bit smoother and less gear hunting. For paddle shifters I find them on my s550 to be pretty responsive and this s650 was no different
What’s the ride quality on performance pack suspension as I see this does not have the adaptive dampers ? I heard they revised and changed geometry on the suspension and supposedly better than the s550 suspension.
I don’t have PP car myself but like lowered. I honestly couldn’t tell much of a difference between my car and this. It felt slightly softer but nothing major
No, I would not trade my 2019 s550 for a base model s650. Just not enough car there, higher price less features? No, for me It would be Dark Horse or nothing.
Thanks for reviewing my car. It was a fun day. Looking forward for our drag races in the coming weeks
Thank you for allowing me to do so! Will coordinate something and record more videos over new few weeks
Nice ride bro love the Grabber Blue

My car with PP, Brakes, AE was less than 50k.
taxes included?@@tri3pleagent

Yeah exactly those of us with 2018+ it’s difficult to justify the upgrade especially with the price increase. I’ll see maybe once they have a refresh
That S650 in grabber blue would look 100x better with the nite pony package.
Yeah the stripes have their own touch but a bright color looks great with the nite pony package
the front grille should be easier to clean on the new S650 vs S550. almost done paying off my 2020 and not upgrading anytime soon.
Yeah it’s a little difficult justifying to upgrade from S550 especially us who have the refresh model with gen 3 coyote
You need to find out the rear end gearing in both cars to know if the new car is really faster or just the gearing !
Good point! I think this must’ve been 3.55 vs 3.15 as his was performance pack vs mine isn’t
🔥🔥🔥🔥 great content
Thank you bro!
The 15-17's are the most aggressive looking to me but to each his own..
Yeah most people say 15-17 is too European and not mean but yes all of them are good imo just depends on preference
The big question I have is, is the 10sp better? Is is smoother in all the modes? Do the paddle shifters still take forever to activate a gear change? I have red '22 GT and I find the 10sp disappointing
The ten speed is okay they can improve it more but is definately a bit smoother than the s550. The paddle shifters are amazing
I found it to be a bit smoother and less gear hunting. For paddle shifters I find them on my s550 to be pretty responsive and this s650 was no different
Oh that front plate, required or not I’m not doing it
Yes agree with you! Technically it’s required in my state but I haven’t ran it since I bought the car
Forgot in my previous post - Whatever works for you, but for me 100% MUST be 6 speed manual 🤠
Hahah yes! I just wish they give us tremec in regular GT at least

❤ the new S650 !
This grabber blue was nice!
I saw one at the dealer the hood vent looks like plastic crap .If they needed it so big should have made it same body color.
I dont mind the hood vent especially on a brighter color like this one. It helps break the bright color a bit

Ok male Karen thanks for you’re input
Yeah I think for those of us with 2018+ it’s difficult to justify the upgrade to S650 unless you’re moving up from EB to GT or GT to DH
Just say you can’t afford it buddy 🤣
Love it
I definitely enjoyed driving the 2024 GT!
The 2024 gt is a solid buy. It'll actually stay out of the shop for a year
S550 has been pretty reliable too! If anything new S650 may have first year problems
That steering wheel is nasty!
I like the flat bottom design! I wish S550 came with it
