I have a 2024 GT Premium loaded with everything, including mag ride. The car costs more than a base darkhorse and is basically a darkhorse premium. The only real difference is the darkhorse gets the tremmec, 305/315 wheels instead of 255/275, and GT 500 rods, which only matter if you want to go to 1000 horsepower. I saved 10k and with that I get the Gen 6 stage 1 whipple that, when I install it, will get me over 800 bhp. Yes, I would love the have the tremmec, but the MT82 has been good and I love the no-lift shift. I will need to upgrade that clutch and it should be fine. and I would advise anyone who really wants the tremmec over the MT82 manual to just get a gently used Mach 1 and not spring for the darkhorse unless you absolutely can't be talked out of it.
I've got a dark horse, vaper blue metallic,6 speed with recaros,non handling pack car,was only 66,510 I think that's the route you should have taken, better resale value if you ever wanted to sell.
@@davedave2882I couldn't find a MT Darkhorse that wasn't way overpriced, so I decided to start with a GT but it's not a GT anymore. Ive alreqdy done lowering springs, camber plates, x pipe, headers, McLeod RST twin disk clutch and aluminum flywheel, DSS aluminum driveshaft, mishimoto expoansion tank, and stage 2 Whipple on the way. Thats just in the first 3 months of ownership. By the time I'm done the car will basically be a GT 500.
Hard to stomach 60k+ for a Mustang GT. I remember when the GT500’s hit the showrooms in the 40’s and 50’s. Hell the 2013-2014 were starting at 60k. I get this one is optioned out relative to the base premium. Just crazy. I had bought a 2012 GT premium with an MSRP of 36k with 4k off MSRP. Brand new in 2012. I suppose if this is your only car, it’s multipurpose. DD and have some fun. Personally, rather have some cheap Daily Driver and a GT350 or PP2 Mustang for the weekends and still be under.
I think for that money I’d buy an M2 with a manual. I’ve already owned a 2019 Bullitt and inching the M2,has better chassis and overall better build quality. Plus the M2 will hold value better a GT Premium, even with more options. It ain’t a BMW M car!
curious as to how many miles are on this car? I am getting ready to pull the plug on either a GT w/performance package or an entry level dark horse. Have been wondering how much water/dirt gets in through the heat "duct" on the hood.
What part of the US are you in. I have found multiple dealerships around my area that have dark horse not marked up surprisingly. But don't worry, they're making it up on the financing side of things LOL
It is the GT Premium, but that is a trim not a package. I don't list the differences between trim lines. Some vehicles have multiple trim lines and would be a very long video.
@@backnu yea I’m asking about the s650 pp weight. I just saw a recently uploaded video of a s650 pp premium weighing in 3960lbs which is significantly heavier than s550 same spec.
Great video brilliant and very well explained thank you so much from Sydney Australia 🇦🇺 😊
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it! We are hoping to vist Australia some day!
The way prices are going now days this car is a pretty good value for the money compared to other cars.
Yes it is, but as good as it looks, I probably would not spend the extra for the performance pack and bronze unless your planning for track days.
@@offtheshelfrides oh yeah for sure you can save a little unless you just want the looks.
Way past 60… lol… I know what you mean because my Dark Horse got me in trouble already… I had to go to driver’s school!
I was really surprised I didn't get at least 1 ticket during the week I had it!

Wow! Super Informative! Thanks for sharing!
Yours is Grabber blue? Check out mine it's Vapor Blue. Also fully loaded with magnaride, love this thing. 15k miles in 7 months.

Me personally, I would leave off the performance pack, magna ride, Recaro seats and just add the exhaust.
what do expect it to be?

I've found you can't get the Recaro seats unless you get the premium package. I love the white Recaros!
They are nice!

It had 16,500 miles
For roughly $1,000 more, I rather have a base dark horse with a 10-speed
I would probably choose not to add the performance package but definitely the 10-Speed. Quicker and More Efficient.
Good luck finding a Dark Horse and some dealerships still have mark up on Dark Horse

@@Cali4rniadreaming it's a tough Horse to find. My dealership has a buyers list waiting for them when they hit the dealership
That's what I have on order in Aust. Standard DH. Should be here this month
Is this the premium with the performance as well? I was waiting for you to tell us if the premium package was on this.

Thor Reviewing the Mustang GT 2024
Lol, I haven't heard that one! Before I grew the beard people said I was John Cena.
16/17 mpg is what kills it for most. I have a fuel card so no matter for me!
If you're concerned about MPG. Purchase a Mustang Ecoboost
Performance pack weight?
After a quick search, what i found was approximately 70lbs of additional weight
