      I’m really tempted to get a 6 speed Dark Horse. I was a little let down by my test drive of the GT. The steering didn’t feel responsive enough. What your take on the difference between the GT and the Dark Horse?

      I bought a new GT back then and the sticker was just under $17K with A/C, power accessories, manual and a sunroof; an automatic would have been more $. I do remember the 1982-1984 GT being just under $10K without A/C and power accessories.

      I ordered a new loaded to the gills 5.7 IROC back in 1987 @ $19993.00
      That's the equivalent of $52,000+ in 2024.
      The cost isn't as bad as folks think. Things have came along way mechanically which has added alot more to vehicle cost, than just the cost of living adjustment.

    The screens were a research topic on how to make more younger audience buy the car. But at 70k no one younger is buying this. That said it's a good evolution of the s550 chassis and I'm happy we still get a manual v8. Hey Ford? Where's the manual ecoboost hipo?? 😅 I never got my order

    • @E52O4
      @E52O4 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      They should have the option to order a MT82 transmission if you want one for the ecoboost. Why? Because driving manual transmission Mustangs should not be limited to the V8 buyers. At least offer the option. It isn’t like the assembly line can’t do it.

  • @KartKing4ever
    @KartKing4ever 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +14

    The issue I have with this car, as someone who has owned 4 Mustangs is my GT500 cost HALF as much as this car when it was new. I'm factoring in the $15-20K markup that all of these have.That's insane. You're better off buying a used GT350, if you want manual, which ya should, or a GT500. Honestly, the only S650 that seems appealing to me is a base model, no option GT. That's still $45,000. Then again, these "young people" cars have been priced out of young people for over 20 years.

But kudos to Ford for not discontinuing their iconic V8 sports car that you can get in a manual. LOOKING AT YOU GM...

      We don't run them when we do track testing at Roebling. We answered this recently on the last episode of our podcast but the short of it is that the heavy braking and cornering that we do on the track allows us to get the impressions we need. And with time constraints due to TV, they would likely get cut anyways due to redundancy. The tests are certainly more important when we are not track testing cars. Hope that explains it!

    It’s nice to see the Mustang evolve into a real world class contender. My only nitpick is the “Coyote” name for the engine, as that has nothing to do with the horse theme..unless there is some weird historical Ford reason for this.

    12:17 quarter mile? I would expected at least 11:19 for the money. I bought my 87 Foxbody at 225 HP. With 100 hp. kit of nitrous I ran exactly 12:17 back in 1989. I love Mustangs. but it just seems silly to me, for the money. I had a total of 12,000 bucks in my car.

    Geez, 45 degrees with warmed tires and 4 3 sec, alot has to do with going back to the crappy Pirelli Pzero summer tires. My 2014 A6 5.0 stock in 54° air at 1700ft above sealevel elevation and density alt of 1100 ft, 1/2 fuel and 165 lbs of driver netted 4.5 sec 0-60 (none of this 1 ft roll out nonsense), and 13.1@113 in 1/4 with 3575 lbs, 420 hp/412 tq. Add 500 lbs, 60hp and the 1/4 speed goes up by around 5 mph whoch is about right but with the same weak tq its 0-60 is not really better at all. If it didnt gain 200+ lbsvs 18-23' models it would be better but the aerodynamics are worse too. Big 20" wheels hurt all performance, mpgs and braking.

    Interesting that you guys didn't include the handling package price. Either way, the Darkhorse ( glorified GT Mustang) price is absurd. In 2021 you could get a 760hp, DCT, superchard GT500 for the same price as a premium Darkhorse with Handling package.
    So who's paying you guys to leave out the *as shown* car you guys tested ?
