Is the 2024 Ford Mustang Dark Horse 6-speed manual the KING of Muscle Cars? 

Just about to go on throttle here. Comment pending.

Fantastic review, as always. I'm a lifetime subscriber

Going around the Charlotte track sounds like a real race car going around. Looks like an amazing time and I'm not even driving. I'm hoping to get my 5.0 Mustang track pack on a track for the first time on Blackhawk Farms Raceway next year.

Great review as always. The interior and engine are amazing, but maybe you can kick the Ford engineers in the butt to get them to reverse some of the odd design choices on the exterior.

@@kennetho5393 You are awesome my man!

Same, I just woke up and I'm watching on the throne 🚽😂🎉

Sounds like me 😄

​@@arizonacolour8793best seat in the house😂

That's dedication.

You ain’t alone partner.

That is so awesome of you to say! Thank you for your great support and letting me share my car passion with you.

So would you rather he lie to you like so many other reviewers do when they’re reviewing a new product? I want the meat and the potatoes, the good and the bad, before I spend a dime or waste a second of my time at a dealer. Once the honeymoon period wears off, these are things you’re going to notice and maybe even regret. My question to you is when would you like to experience regret… before or after you spent $72K

​@@matts6551Yea that is a to much 72 k for a Mustang. but whatever

I was the 100th 'like'

‘23 Scats are going for 67-70k? And it’s 8 yo tech now. Crazy.

That money can buy a well-equipped C8. 🥴 Who would choose this over a C8? 🤔

@@ytsux9259exactly! That was my first thought when I heard the price, it should come with a free mustang tattoo voucher because you have to be a true fanboy to chose over c8 at the price

@@ytsux9259: nah it’s a Chevy 😅😅

Should be turbo or supercharged.

You are so very welcome Omar!

bruh GTD can roast thid

My condolences for missing out on the 21'-23' Mach 1 HP.

@@ClickbaitMotorsports He didn’t miss out on anything. The Dark Horse is the one to have. A lot of the Mach 1 owners wish they had waited.

That is so really awesome!

@@justpray365 But it's an uglier, more expensive Mach 1. And it has a locked ECU with dual-MAFs sensors (so don't think of tampering with it). Oh and it's internet-dependent because of the Fully Networked Vehicle platform. And cheap, tacked-on screens with large bezels. Should I go on? Again...my condolences. 😥

​@@ClickbaitMotorsports this way better looking than the mach 1 and even faster😅😂

We are so glad that we can bring the ON THROTTLE fun your way.

You are so very welcome! I appreciate you letting me share it with you!

Did you pay over sticker for your last call?

@@MikeyG003 no, infact I paid 2k less than the MSRP. Chargers and Challengers are now priced MSRP or lower except for the hellcat models

@@MikeyG003 The market is finally starting to settle down. I just asked my local Toyota dealer about a new Supra and they said $1,000 over MSRP. I'm sure with some haggling they'd go MSRP.

@@hhaste yeah end of this year to early next year should be much better. All time high repos rn and auction prices falling a lot. Still gonna take a while to reflect into regular market tho and these greedy dealers gonna have to lower prices

Only 1 nismo z is trash.

​@@joshlamar1990Nah, sure nissan Z is kinda bad compared to like supra but I can see the improvements made for the Z nismo so I think it won't stuck. The only thing is nismo will have a price increase and it's bad to say that it's still 3,700 lbs which is heavy for a sports car despite having 420 hp and like 380 torque. I hope that they should've at least cut downed some weight then we can talk about it being good

@@godspeed_smc401 you can have the z coyote boys it’s our time. V8 sounds so good.

​@@joshlamar1990 I think I like flat plane crank V8's more than the cross plane cranks V8

@@godspeed_smc401 just for sound the voodoo was not reliable. Coyote still sounds good.

It felt so good on the track Craig!

It will be worth the wait!

It weighs more than a gt350, costs more than a gt350, and makes less power than a gt350 🤔. Why would anyone buy this?

@@Call_MeDaddy - it’s the only one from Ford that has the V8 Coyote with the Tremec manual so I guess you can go into the used market for more options but not new.

I sure hope not!

Joe Biden and Justin Trudeau, idiots both, say otherwise.

The SS 1LE is a treasure

Thanks for having my back and being so supportive!

I am just so glad that I could share it with you!

You are so very welcome!

When you get it, please give me the one in your PFP. 🙏

You better believe it for sure!

I know it was worth the wait!

Thank you for saying that!

You are so very welcome!

You are so very welcome! Thanks for letting me share it with you!

I know how you feel.

Yeah I think it’s over priced by 10,000 for 500 hp that’s to much you can get the GT 500 for that price

I am so glad that you are digging this one Kelly! It all came together so nicely.

Are you Not a fan of Coyote engine?

What other options do you really have?

@@Platos-Den got my base 15 5.0 for $28k after rebates and 0% interest sp $380 payment lol

@RaitisRides used or brand new SS 1LE it'll beat this around any track half the price

@@RaitisRides what's your gut feeling on the new generation Charger/Challenger with a possible incline 6 turbo?

Thank you for letting me share my car passion with you Jesse!

Stay tuned I have it coming!

Sounds like in a plan.

This is the one!

Thanks Susan for letting me share it all with you.

We will see how they sell.

I can understand where you are coming from.

Nothing wring with that!

You got it my friend! Thanks for watching from a far distance,

So they took your deposit?

@mattyoz0 hi mate, I called my local Ford dealer in Brisbane on the 15th September 5 min after the Dark Horse was announced. Signed the contract and put the deposit down. Got a call last week, locked in the colour, vapor blue and final pricing later this month. They only got 7 and they are the largest dealer in Brisbane.

@@ryanmurphy2711 Wow, you're lucky, my dealer didn't want to know about deposits.

@mattyoz0 that sucks and I bet their allocation has already gone for yeah one :(

It will be worth the wait!

That is so awesome to hear! Thanks for letting me share my Mustang passion with you!

I love the way you think Mike!

I love the BBQ, and the desserts but I like my Iced tea unsweetened. The first time I went down south to Myrtle Beach in the late 1980's I asked for an unsweetened iced tea and they just stared at me with a blank expression lol.

That's sad. Shooting themselves in the foot. A Dark Horse does them no good if it stays sitting on their lot.

Clearly you picked the wrong dealership.

It is going to be interesting to see how it goes.

​@@theshadowtalksexactly, not all will do that...most will, but not all

You are so very right!

Thanks for saying that!

That is so fantastic Terry! You have has some amazing cars my friend!

I am glad that you think so.

You are so very welcome.

@@RaitisRidesJoe this dark horse looks really sharp with this blue color

Hope they do. My buddies 2020 6 speed 5.0 had problems going into some gears at full throttle so I hope they have fixed that with the new Gen. If they did then it’s a no brainer.

I would for it!

Camaro ss 1le performance with Ford's pricing 😂

I see what you did there!

I totally agree with you!

I know ho you feel!

This is very true!

enjoy your mach 1 and get the facelifted darkhorse in 2-3 years. the interior and the back end of the mach 1 is way better than this.

@mounzerchebbo1533 I agree with the Mach 1 looks better. I do like the 500 horses and the interior of the dark horse. I want a 500, I can swing 60-65 but not 80, or more like 100k with the Shelby mark up

@@Imprisoned1995supercharge your Mach 1 and you’ll get much more than 500 and still retain the N/A feel unlike turbo charging. Won’t even need to upgrade to this lol

Who gaf about boosted, how old are you? 13?

It is a beast!

I am glad that I was able to bring both!

It is a beautiful beast!

You sure about that?

A decently optioned C8 is 80-90k, tell him Joe

I live to bring it to you!

Fingers crossed it does not turn out that way.

Most dealers are only trying to get $5k to $10k over. I'm getting mine at MSRP because I called around early.

It’s still to much for a mustang with only 500 the dark horse should have more horsepower how can you go from the GT 486 HP to dark horse at 500 and the price is almost 17,000 more ..stop it ford and the mustang GTD with 805 HP is 300,000 grand Ford is Stupid

@@poohwecampbell7799 Well, if you fully option out a GT, you can actually exceed the price of a dark horse. I just saw a new GT with a $63k sticker. What you get in a dark horse is more than just extra HP. For starters, the chassis and suspension are more track focused. The cooling system is massively better, the aero is better, In the car just sticks way better in the corners. Couple that with the handling package and it's a really good track car for the money, almost ZL1 1LE good. But that exhaust note on the Dark Horse is incredible, just a little more oomph over the GT. The engine is just built stronger and more mod ready as well, and the biggest difference that makes it worth it is the Tremec 6-speed transmission, similar to the GT350. Absolute manual transmission Bliss. You cannot get this on the GT, which gives you the Getrash. To me personally, the Tremec alone is worth all the extra money. But when it's all said and done, you are only talking about a $5K difference in price from a similarly loaded GT, but with $15k worth of added stuff.

You are so very right about that!

LOL I see what you did there!

@@RaitisRides lol

by what, getting cancelled again?

The ZL1 1Le is just perfect though.

Is there really a shelbly coming ?

@@Spiritcr1jsher according to the official ford museum, yes.

Tough call...I've been in a mustang since 2015 so I'd go DH just because I'm tired of looking at the same interior. If you're just getting in to one, I'd go Shelby. That VooDoo motor is just special.

@@tri3pleagent thx - yeah most likely either 2018 or 2019 GT 350. Possibly 2021 Mach one with handling package. This will depend on price - availability- features. Ideally 2019 GT but prices are still crazy.

I would go Shelby personally

Unfortunately for some but not for me. Waiting on DH with grin.

@@theshadowtalks You are a lucky guy.

Not for everyone.

@@RaitisRides Thank you. First pony car. Was bummed out when all the American muscle cars (besides the Corvette) went Biden.
