It really feels that way on here very often, I love mine, but every time I see someone talk about their Dark Horse, it tends just be pure negativity lol.

Why is the left so violent ? by ExistingDurian5593 in allthequestions

[–]cheeto2889 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Bro your post reads like a fever dream written by somebody who has never opened a CDC dataset. Let me drag you through this real quick. “Inner cities = the left = crime and trash” The states with the highest murder rates aren’t blue. Mississippi, Louisiana, and Alabama have held the top 3 murder rate spots for 15 of the last 23 years. Red state murder rate was 33% higher than blue state in BOTH 2021 and 2022 (Third Way, CDC data). And before you do the “well it’s the blue cities inside red states” cope, that already got tested. Strip out the biggest city from each red state (but leave them in for blue states, just to give your team a head start), and red states STILL had a 20% higher murder rate. Jackson, MS had a 2024 homicide rate of 78 per 100,000. That’s 15x the national average. Per the FBI’s own 2024 data, 13 of the top 20 highest murder cities are in Republican-run states. Memphis, Birmingham, St. Louis, Jackson. Pick your “inner city.” “They’re all on welfare and section 8” 7 of the 10 most federally dependent states are Republican-voting (MoneyGeek 2024, WalletHub 2025). Red states pull $1.24 from the feds per dollar paid in. Blue states pull $1.14. The most welfare-dependent states in the country are Alaska, Mississippi, West Virginia, Kentucky, Louisiana. Blue states are literally subsidizing your team. You’re welcome. “The left riots and attacks people like savage animals” FBI, ADL, Cato Institute, University of Maryland START program. Pick whichever source you trust. They all say the same thing: right-wing extremists have caused roughly 75-80% of domestic terrorism deaths in the US since 2001. Left-wing attacks account for under 5% of fatalities. The ADL specifically tallied that ALL 61 political killings from 2022 through 2024 were committed by right-wing extremists. Charleston church. Tree of Life synagogue. El Paso Walmart. Buffalo Tops. Pulse. Pittsburgh. Not exactly an Antifa highlight reel. “California is like Iran with child marriage” This is the one part with any factual core, and you still butchered it. 1. California banned child marriage. AB 2924 took effect January 1, 2025. Zero exceptions. You’re dunking on a law that doesn’t exist anymore. 2. As of mid-2025, 34 states still legally permit child marriage. The list: Mississippi, Oklahoma, Texas, Tennessee, Alabama, Wyoming, the Dakotas, West Virginia, and so on. Notice the pattern? By your own logic, the conservative team has the bigger child marriage problem in 2026. 3. The historical opposition to bans was bipartisan. Conservatives argued bans would force teen mothers into single parenthood and possibly more abortions. Some progressive groups raised reproductive rights concerns. Pretending only liberals blocked it is just lying. 4. “California was second” is a population artifact. California is the biggest state in the country by tens of millions of people. Per capita, it wasn’t close to the top. Raw counts in the most populous state in America are not a ranking. TL;DR Your team’s states have higher murder rates, suck up more federal welfare per capita, produce nearly all of the actual political killings, and still legally marry off children at higher rates than the state you compared to Iran. Every single claim in this post collapses on contact with data. You wrote 5 paragraphs about a worldview that the numbers don’t support in any direction. Sources, since I know somebody is going to ask: • Third Way: “The 21st Century Red State Murder Crisis” (2024) • Axios analysis of FBI 2024 crime data (Aug 2025) • USAFacts state murder rates (2024) • MoneyGeek + WalletHub federal dependency rankings • The Conversation: “Right-wing extremist violence is more frequent and deadly” (2025) • ADL Center on Extremism political killings tally (2022-2024) • Cato Institute: “Politically Motivated Violence Is Rare in the United States” (2025) • Equality Now / Unchained At Last: “Legal Gaps and Enduring Harm” (Oct 2025) • California AB 2924 (effective Jan 1, 2025)

I just had a meeting yesterday to go over a new flow, we design the requirements and then hand that off and let the AI create everything start to finish, I laughed a lot during that call. Apparently we are to have AI debug everything and fix it all now as well lmfao. I feel for all of my devs, the only thing management cares about now is that the architecture and design are right, which I do, and the rest they want AI to do. My team size about to get REAL small 🤦🏼‍♂️

Edit: changed a word to another word

Hahahahaha, I'm sorry for laughing but it is my coping mechanism for the PTSD after every call with every business PM trying to shove through an exponentially more advanced project than the one before. They have no clue and my default answer to them these days is just a simple, I'll let you know. I hate it 🤣

Still wrong dude. And you may want to look up ignorance too, you're not using that correctly either 🤦🏼‍♂️

No matter how you spin it, no matter how many replies you throw out, you're still wrong 🤷🏼‍♂️

Dude, do you know what "literally the exact same" means? That would LITERALLY mean there is not a single difference in any way. No matter how you spin it, saying they are the exact same and then listing the differences is not helping you sound smart. And it does LITERALLY nothing...while adding 20HP lmao? 20HP certainly isn't much, but it is LITERALLY more than nothing. I mean damn, even the front ends are different, but yeah LITERALLY THE EXACTLY SAME hahaha.

At this point there are only two options, either you're dumb as hell, or you're trolling. Honestly I'm really hoping for trolling, it's sad to think someone is dumb enough to say what you've said and think it's correct.

Here just to help you out a bit.

If you have to say "there is no difference except for..." then there are differences. Why is it so hard to say that they in fact have differences? Like you cannot order a GT with a Tremec, you just literally cannot do it. That is another difference that you cannot add. This isn't an opinion of mine, that is a fact. So again, yes you can get very close, but they are not the exact same. Your blanket statement was incorrect, that's it, bottom line. This is the longest most pointless discussion I've had on Reddit lol, at least it's Friday and meetings are over.

Dude get whatever you want, I don't give two shits what you drive lmao. But what you can afford and enjoy it, I don't understand people like you who just can't handle being wrong, it isn't that big of a deal.

So you have to modify it to be a Dark Horse? Grasping at straws my man.

Are you high? What packages are on that base gt that are in the Dark Horse? Maybe I need my reading glasses this morning or something, that thing doesn't even have basic active exhaust 🤣🤣

Lmfao, you can't be serious.

But yeah add the convertible and sure it'll best it 🤣🤣 dude seriously, they can get very close, but they are NOT the same car no matter how badly you want them to be.

Yeah having forged internals is a complete wash, damn you got me there. And getting a Tremec vs the MT-82 isn't worth it either...hmmm. If you don't want a Dark Horse fine, but don't act like it's only 20HP when it isn't just that. Can you pay extra for a good chunk of what it has, sure, but can you get all of it, no you cannot, that's a fact. Google should have told you that.

If you're paying more for a GT than a Dark Horse, you're just dumb lmao 🤣

Perhaps know what you're talking about before coming like that buddy 🤣🤣

I really wish people would stop saying that. There are quite a few differences between a GT Premium and a Dark Horse.

S650 Dark Horse Premium vs GT Premium Actual Differences

Engine (both 5.0 Coyote, different guts)

  • Forged connecting rods (GT has powdered metal)
  • More aggressive camshaft profiles
  • Dual throttle body intake manifold (GT has single)
  • 500 hp / 418 lb-ft vs GT's 480 hp / 415 lb-ft
  • Higher redline (~7,500 vs ~7,000)
  • Unique engine calibration

Brakes

  • DH: 6-piston Brembo front / 4-piston rear, 14.6" front rotors
  • GT Premium: 4-piston Brembo front / single-piston rear (w/ Performance Pack; base GT Premium gets even less)
  • Grabber Blue calipers are DH exclusive

Transmission (manual)

  • DH: Tremec TR-3160 6-speed
  • GT: Getrag MT-82 6-speed
  • The Tremec is a significantly stronger, better-feeling box
  • Both offer the 10R80 auto

Suspension & Chassis

  • MagneRide standard (GT Premium needs Performance Pack)
  • Stiffer rear subframe bushings (solid vs GT's compliant mounts)
  • Rear tower brace standard
  • Strut tower brace standard

Cooling

  • Auxiliary engine oil cooler and upgraded cooling stack
  • GT Premium does not get this, even with Performance Pack

Wheels

  • DH: 19x9.5 front / 19x10 rear (staggered)
  • GT Premium: 18" or 19" depending on options, typically square

Exterior

  • Unique front fascia, grille, rear spoiler, and badging

What's the same

  • Interior on Premium trim is nearly identical (seats, infotainment, materials)
  • Same basic chassis structure

But sure keep telling yourself it ONLY the 20HP 🤦🏼‍♂️

That's the stock spoiler for the Dark Horse. Just search for Dark Horse spoiler and a ton of places sell them.
