    AFFILIATE LINK DISCLOSURE: Friends, making a quality video is kind of like making wild game meat - only slightly less violent. It's a ridiculous amount of work that typically involves high-dollar camera drops, blue-screen-of-death computer crashes, and at least one angry shotgun-wielding old Dude shouting, “Hey! Get the hell outta here!” Once the final video is posted, rewards here on TH-cam can be few and far between (unless you are a masochist who enjoys being verbally abused by anonymous trolls for no reason).

    I bought the Dark Horse I'm in Canada, so I paid big bucks. Plus, it is in the holding yard waiting for the Christmas holidays to end so it can be brought to the dealership for me to pick up. However, 500hp was not enough so I also ordered The Whipple Supercharger and yes it cost big bucks because I'm in Canada but can hardly wait the 8 to 10 weeks till delivery. I'm a retired senior who wants to have some fun on the street this summer and some track time so where I can go wrong? Mine is Shadow Black A700, Handling package, Dark Horse appearance package, Recaro seats, Tremec six speed and Notorias blue calipers with grabber blue logos. Carbon fiber wheels were not available at time of order also wanted painted graphics but was not available at time of order. So, looking forward to getting behind the wheel.

      @paulabes4220 that is awesome and the 6-speed with the addition of the Whipple will be absolutely savage!
      Thank you very much for watching and leaving your comments. Please keep me updated on your experience with your Dark Horse.

      I personally think it’s not worth paying any mark up living in Canada just because a car like this is going to be sitting in the garage half of the year up there because of the weather conditions while alot of the buyers are doing monthly payments. But if you have money to blow then I guess you can do whatever you want 😉

      @@pawg206 and the opposite can sometimes be true for us in Texas.
      In the summer months, the A/C struggles to keep up, tires get overheated and greasy, and the sun fades anything it can see for any length of time lol.
      Seriously, thank you very much for watching!

      yes, but my garage is climate-controlled at 72 degrees, and you don't buy a car to make a profit you just drive the crap out of them when you can@@pawg206

    I’ve sat in that spec. It definitely was a sweet feeling Mustang. Little out of my price range.

      the Dark Horse truly is an impressive Mustang! Thank you very much for watching!

    Common misconception. The Tremec 3160 is not stronger than the MT82. It may shift better but it’s not stronger.

    If you get a base GT with the performance pack and active exhaust, you'll be paying around $49k. The GT convertible is $58K. A base Dark Horse is about $62k, so there's not as big a difference if you can order a Dark Horse without the dealer add ons! Tough choices!

      @mattthompson3656 excellent point.

    What color is the car? It looks black in some angles, but in some angles it looks dark blue.

    You can't comment on handling if the shiipping spacers are still in the front springs.

    • @DownShifting76
      @DownShifting76  5 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Fair enough evaluation for sure!
      We actually spent two says the week prior with a GT performance pack and the street driving / handling was one of the most impressive aspects of the 2024 Mustang.
      As for the Dark Horse the primary diffence is going to be a slightly stiffer suspention and larger anti-roll bars so with that I would have to still say the handling has to be at the top of the list.
      In reguards to the ride quality with the changes in suspention...I have to assume no one is buying a Dark Horse for the Cadillac ride quality.
      As we mentioned in the video this was shot on very short notice and the car was lined up for a customer to come see it on the showroom floor so it was bassiclly off transport with no dealer prep.
      Thank you very much for watching!

    I don't get it. $75K is Corvette money. If I wanted to go all in on sport, I'd buy a Stingray. If I wanted a car that's easier to live with day to day, I'd buy a loaded GT and save the money.
    You're paying a 25% premium over a loaded GT for a few mild upgrades and a colorway.

      @jameshows5419 thank you for the factory spec clarification!

  • @jameshows5419
    @jameshows5419 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    7,300 rpm’s max. Dark Horse won’t go to 8,000 rpm’s. I have one and it won’t go that high .

    • @DownShifting76
      @DownShifting76  6 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      @jameshows5419 Thank you very much for clarifying the RPM range, and congratulations on an awesome car! I will try and pin this at the top of the comments so it's easy to find.
