The MISTAKES With My Mustang Dark Horse? 10,000 MILES ALREADY!

This wasn't what I expected! Half a year into ownership of my Ford Mustang Dark Horse, let's talk about the pros and cons, and the mistakes I've made with it. The Dark Horse's V8 makes a roar as we head up the famous Pikes Peak also with my Ford GT, but it's time for some feedback!
I collected the Mustang Dark Horse from Pat Milliken Ford in Detroit back at the end of last year, we immediately drove it on a 4,000 mile tour down to Florida and all the way over to Las Vegas. Earlier this year we then had a lot of fun around Arizona, and since it has been drive over to Texas for this latest exploration up through Oklahama, Kansas and into Colorado. To have done as many miles as we have, in the short amount of time that it has been, that's been a lot of driving.
However, today we are retracing the steps I ran with my Shelby GT500 3 years ago, by driving to the summit of Pikes Peak with both the Dark Horse and my Ford GT. Along the way we need to talk about how the car is going; the costs to date, things that have needed replacing, any damage that it's received, upgrades for the future, and what I like or don't like about it after so much experience at the wheel.

I was paralyzed 3 years ago, and although traveling is still an option for me, ill probably never get to experience everywhere being limited you know, so some time's im truly thankful for Technology for being able to see the world through other's perspective in 4k.

@scouth2429 16 дней назад

Hopefully technology will catch up to you and one day you will be able too. I have a spinal cord injury from being wounded in Iraq although it didn’t paralyze me I still take this to heart. I am also a left leg amputee from the same event and decided to buy a mustang GT a couple years ago in manual because of Tim’s videos. Had to get an extension on the clutch pedal but after that it worked out quite well. I think Tim should hook up with you and give you a ride!! How cool would that be!?

Ref your drivers seat and steering wheel closeness issue. Fords I have driven (F150, Expedition) have a convenience setting whereby the seat moves back away from the steering wheel automatically before you get in/ out of the vehicle. Have you tried checking this option in the menu? Just a thought.

Keep the NA V8 please. If you do go for the henessey package it would frankly in my opinion be very similar to the gt500 and lose its essence of being one of the last NA v8 front engined cars. Would love some new intakes or handling focused upgrades to bring it upto spec.

So Tim, have you put down your name for the new Mustang GTD? Surely if you had, Ford should seriously consider you as one of the lucky few to be chosen, since you've given a lot of air time and keep iterating your love for the brand in your channel. Surely, you're a no-brainer for Ford if you had.

@CoyoteAUS 14 дней назад

This needs more power. Supercharged but with excellent cooling mods would top it off.

@gillesthibault429 12 дней назад

The GTD is not worth his effort! 350K for a Mustang : This Is Your Brain ON Drugs! He already owns a GT and a GT500. IMHO, he should not even keep the Dark Horse, especially in that fugly white! His next new American Car should be an ERay or a ZR1!

@HammerRocks 3 дня назад

@kavinskysmith4094 18 дней назад

yeah with pikes peak, I remember randy Probst saying that after a crash up there he always made a point to have an oxygen tank with him, as the height and the lack of oxygen screws up your thought process, and your ability to react properly, which is what caused his off in that skyline, as you just freeze up, and cant react properly. also another major thing was you had to change the points on your car back in the old days if it was carbed, as it wasnt just turbo cars that had trouble up there and even I remember Land rover was having trouble, modern land rover as they never rigged up or programed the computers to adjust the fuel to air mixture rate properly for that area as well given how low down and close to the sea england is, it was some news story I came across with the new 80K defender from a few years ago' the same one harry had that was a squeaks and rattle box for the same cost as a viper, like I couldnt believe that box of bolts, that piece of junk cost that much new and had that many problems also schmee, in 1965, that mustang would be getting 5 to 7 miles to the gallon with that power figure, be glad your getting 17, and its not supercharged as 440 cop cars used to need to fill up mid patrol, also supercharging actually changes the torque and fuel curve and helps the MPG weirdly enough, like theirs this guy in las vegas who supercharged a 440 and was getting that same figure out of it with 600 HP so that's not bad, and I bet a gallardo is getting the same really. also your ford gt would be better at start ups because theirs less rotational mass for the engine to get going with, based on it being a V6 and not a V8 supercar, and god please take that stupid V6 out and put the V8 in like they should have done from the factory, as theirs so much untapped potential in that chassis if they had just put in a V8 like its a good car, but damn if it aint wrong that it doesnt sound like the proper gt40

@joeryan7548 16 дней назад

Yes, I vote that you should wrap the car with a color that pops. I would wrap the grey area area around the headlights in the new body color or black. What about a iridescent color for the wrap. Or, the FFF collection has a McLaren 765LT has a dark blue fade to a light blue in the middle of the car. The Hennessy HPE850 performance package is a great idea.. It would make for great content , with all the Mustang fans around the world. If you did install a supercharger on the Dark Horse, I think Misha would be green with envy.
