The S550 had lots of hate when it first came out. I remember people bashing the way it looked both with the 2015 and then the same with the 2018 refresh. It’s probably the same here and will eventually grow on them
Homie keeps saying that some of the interior and exterior materials feel “cheap”… YES!!! You cannot have world class materials for a car that costs $70k in 2024!!! It is meant to be attainable by regular people. (Well off regular people…) You want world class, superior materials expect to pay astronomical amounts of money. You won’t and shouldn’t expect to find them in a mass produced sports car. Maybe the Ford GT is more your budget.
Agreed, these “car reviews” are one in the same! We just want that glorious V8 coyote, simple as that! Tbh, I daily a ‘24 GT and it’s quite comfortable.
that's actually good that you are buying it a bit later. that way it should have major recalls finished and most imperfections should be dealt with + it will perform and look even better.
It is a very nice car but it's not worth the money gap between a 24 Base Performance Pack.. Like that Tremec is way better than the MT82 but not 20K better. And the performance Pack's come with 95% of the same handling, all the cooler's and 486 HP which in a 10 speed you wouldn't notice the the power difference at all. Don't take me wrong, that is one bad ass car!! But I am all about bang for buck and budget.. Me personally for 70K, I'd go base PP for 55K and then whipple it for another 10K at the same price, you have a GT with a Gen 6 Whipple blower on it.. Just saying.. Anyway great car and great video..
debating between this car and a corvette a corvette is only 10k more its mid engine and has over 600hp and turns more heads but the dark horse is truely a great car of its own but comparing this to a corvette the corvette seems like a better purchase everyone i know doesn't regret buying a corvette but at the same time i dont think anyone would regret owning a dark horse both are truely great cars with great value
You can get a used S550 GT500 (non CF track pack spec) for around the same price and get a true track oriented car. Not that the DH is a slouch.. just think it's over priced for what it is.
Curious at 6:23 the shot of the front facia looks like a different colour from the body, is that always how it is with a drastic change with sun ? or ? Even in your studio at 8:45 it exhibits that issue.
First off, the buttons on the steering wheel having nothing to do with the touchscreen, so @14:19, that statement is entirely inaccurate. As for the software, it’s suuuuuuuper buggy. I’ve been griping at Ford (even as a beta tester), but so far they’ve not fixed any of the issues I’m having. Don’t get me wrong - I love my Mustang. But the software is atrocious.
Cluster theme settings don’t stick. And if you change the theme and then save your driver memory (seat position, etc), it switches back to the default gauge display.
I had a price this week on a well equipped Dark Horse, $79K OTD full MSRP, dealer thought that was good. Sorry not 2022 anymore. Loved it but had to pass. Price to play I guess.
Most Mustang buyers are not interested in a C8, and most C8 buyers are not interested in Mustangs. So the comparison is silly. Plus, even a C8 LT1 is more than a DH around this area. I bought a '16 Z06, so I'm not a hater. Different cars for different folks. And for $10K, the GT or DH will blow the doors off of a C8 other than the Z06.
At the start of your video you're sitting in the sun with it shining into your eyes. Next time you should try turning your hat around as that funny thing on the back is called a sun visor and it's designed to shield your eyes from the sun. Also thanks for letting us know that the tires are totally useless outside of a track day, cost $800 a piece and last 5,000 miles if you're lucky. I'll definitely be buying a regular GT.
Top hinged gas pedal is a dealbreaker for me, because both BMW and Porsche use bottom hinged one where your foot is always in one position which trains muscle memory.
I would always get a Supra over this. At least the Supra will be worth $150k in a couple of decades. This will depreciate Look at the other Supras from the past. Value skgrocketed. Same way Civic Type Rs can increase in crazy value.
LOL! The Supra of that era had an iron block and people found out you could put a Caterpillar turbocharger on it and the thing would scoot. Car engines are not made like that anymore.
The S650 design was developed with the idea of stealing German high performance car enthusiasts (reflected with the S650 interior and the PRICE). However, all Ford accomplished is proving to everyone the S650 is a poor quality, overpriced, and underperforming piece of junk compared to anything German high-performance. Then Ford screams "BUT GUYS WE GOT A LOUD N/A V8!" not realizing that the modern era of people in their 20's-30's don't want to get 14mpg while still being the slowest performance car on the street in its price bracket. It's a vehicle that sells well only to middle-aged men in a mid-life crisis and upper middle class 18 year olds who want a loud car to attract the most attention possible in mall parking lots. That's why the S650 is currently sitting on lots collecting dust at half the Ford dealers in the US. Example of a comparison to the S650 and German in same price bracket: Decently spec'd darkhorse: 80k USD Max spec'd RS3: 72k USD RS3 is quicker in 0-60 and in the quarter mile... all achieved with: 2 more doors, 3 less cylinders, 100 less hp, and half the liters of engine displacement. With the RS3 you also get: REAL diamond stitched leather interior, 100x better audio system, way more modern tech, you can download an extra 100hp with a laptop, WAY better hold on its value, and you get on par if not better reliability.
Why are u comparing a dark horse to a base model rs3? The base model 24 GT goes for 45k. And GT will beat the RS3 in roll race or on the highway. Of course Mustangs have slow 0-60 due to not being AWD.
@SwissGTO - Nope - They filed Chapter 11 - reorganization, not going out of business! They are continuing to make seats and plan to do so through the reorganization process.
I don't understand the amount of hate for this new mustang.
Haters gonna hate
It has haters??
The S550 had lots of hate when it first came out. I remember people bashing the way it looked both with the 2015 and then the same with the 2018 refresh. It’s probably the same here and will eventually grow on them
They just see it as 20 more horsepower compared to the GT
Jealousy is real.
So we just gonna ignore the fact that my man is eating frosted flakes out of a Tux mat
That was a great solution to a problem , but 3.25% milk with your cereal? whaaaaaat? Is that a thing?
Threw me off at first i was like I thought they were floor mats
I really wish they had a bronze package for the Dark horse, like they have for the regular GT. Would look amazing with the Oxford white.
best dark horse review vid ive seen
Actually just drove this car a couple days ago and it has been a dream

Thank you for your AWESOME detailed review!! Love your automotive journalist style!
I got a 3.7s 0-60 on the non-HP Dark Horse IRL with no prep. You should be able to exceed that with no problem.
I do wonder why don’t these auto companies make it so your color car shows up the infotainment screen. It shouldn’t be that difficult
No matter what anyone says about this car, it’s definitely one of my dream cars. Great video as always guys! 💯🔥
Thank you!! 😎
I’ll sell you mine

Are you ready for ready for.

love the tuxmats in my s550 mustang....the best ad segment ever 👍
My ride is, (since Monday Oct, 14 24') is a 24' RTR Ford 'Stang # 00038! Red and w/ the New interior/One piece screen!..., even!)

Resale will be much better on a stock dark horse. Mods make a sports car basically worthless to resell.
Sounds and looks so good, especially in that color
I mean that’s just not right. You didn’t have a second bowl of cereal.
Good stuff makes me miss the times in the old fox body
That car is not designed for Winnipeg's roads!
Just stay outta the North End, Fort Garry, and St. Vital lol

You should do the ecoboost too. Top trim vs low trim
@burningreaper333 - The EcoBoost HP package has been dropped for 2025!
@@Loulovesspeed for real? They are not doing the ecoboost anymore.
@@burningreaper333 - That is what Ford announced.
Well I just learned something new about my s650 lol never knew there was an actual button to open it 😅 been using the fob and the interior button
It’s about as cool as a 2014 Corvette. I do like the way it sounds. C8 all day!
Something to be said for a manual transmission. For me, that’s worth going Mustang.
I think for sports coupes they can maybe lower the seats for more headroom? Just a thought.
love your vibe and the car obv ❤🔥
I frigging love me mustangs but having already owned a car that low i will admit it gets scuffed under no matter how careful you are.
Nice .... i like the show already
debating between this car and a corvette a corvette is only 10k more its mid engine and has over 600hp and turns more heads but the dark horse is truely a great car of its own but comparing this to a corvette the corvette seems like a better purchase everyone i know doesn't regret buying a corvette but at the same time i dont think anyone would regret owning a dark horse both are truely great cars with great value
It is a George Harrison song
“I’m a dark horse
Running on a dark race course”
I tried that instant stop in my Camaro with the track package in the rain with Factory run Flats and it stopped on a dime
Awesome car but it would have to be supercharged to be worth that $$. For the cost get a mid-engine Vette. Love the lower end Stangs though!!
A dream car ❤❤❤❤❤
I really am enjoying the videos and quality content. Keep up the wicked awesome work.
4:28 no you can get the 10 speed AT on the Dark Horse also
He meant that particular transmission is offered only in the Dark Horse and not in any other trim.
You can get a used S550 GT500 (non CF track pack spec) for around the same price and get a true track oriented car. Not that the DH is a slouch.. just think it's over priced for what it is.
This is the very first modern looking american interior
Maybe if i get promoted at work next yr i can afford a used dh. Assuming they devalue? Idk how sought out these are in the market
i wish they made those tires in 18"s so I could put them on my Cobra... it's hard to find tires that will hook
I never bought American in the past but lately, I been thinking about picking up a Mustang. Any tips and or suggestions for a new future owner?
Curious at 6:23 the shot of the front facia looks like a different colour from the body, is that always how it is with a drastic change with sun ? or ? Even in your studio at 8:45 it exhibits that issue.
It’s supposed to do that. It’s the blue ember paint that changes colors depending on light and angle
@@beavisdoubleo76 this one is just weird. I've seen this type of paint before and never saw panels under same lighting look that different.
If you were to pick an A to B car for everyday/ do everything car. What would you pick today?
Factor in financing, maintenance and depreciation over five years. Still love it?
most id spend on a dark horse is 77k cad or 55usd until the price get to that then ill buy.
Bring back round headlights and dashboards.
Can you operate all LCD functions from the steering wheel ? (because I hate smudges).
No, but there are plenty of screen protectors out there. I put only on the right side, as I never plan to touch the left side.
Headed to the track next week. -- I'll get some draggy video and post it if you are all interested. -- thx - SC
We need your Integra type r review. Old school. What kinda tires?
Damn boiiii… the beard 🔥
Is there a cheaper tire version?
I'm ordering the Camaro light zebra instead.
As a Canadian, you should be saying "not an Amanda Marshall song' 🙃

Same as in germany 🙈😄
That's not an arm rest. It's a console lid.
thats what her and rachy do all day is text back and forth to fckn piss me off
Costs more than a C8.... Yeah no way there is no world where this "stang" could keep up. Big swing and a huge miss lol.

They then turned the mustang into the batmobile
Now that you said it looks like a Camaro, I can’t unsee it.
