This Dark Horse was a first with me having painted stripes! They looked and felt fantastic! Let me know in the comments section if you are liking this Mustang!
No doubt the Dark Hoarse looks great and is a winner but that instrument cluster IPad needs some attention. Your correct that the instrumentation of the s550 was spot on. The instrumentation of the iPad execution could be a dealbreaker. Address this and Dark Hoarse could be perfect.
“I know you’re saying to yourself well Joe, I just divorced my wife. She took the kids. Now I can just use my money to get whatever Muscle Car I want since she’s going to have full custody of them. How much is this Dark Horse mustang?”
Joe! I've been a Camaro fan forever, but that Dark Horse is a beast!! Considering that Chevy has discontinued the Camaro, Ford said the hell with everybody else we're riding the V8 wave as long as we can!! Job well done Joe, on the this content of the Dark Horse.
This won't be a popular opinion, but I don't care for an Imax screen in my car. It distracts from driving. And I like fine tuning with knobs rather than pressing on a screen all the time.
I don't mind the screens, it's just the thick black edges of the screen that are a bother. Looks cheap or rushed. Im sure they will streamline it on 2yrs or so
Corvette is a different world compared to Mustang BUT both spectacular and desirable. Imagine being wealthy enough to own both. Great video Joe and Lorie......thanks !
The Dark Horse is an amazing car and RR did a great review on it. Motortrend just did a head to head review comparison and the C8 was the overall performance winner over the Dark Horse. They're both great cars but the C8 still offers the best bang for the buck.
Joe, listening to this as I drive home in my white dark horse manual. Yes we take these to golf! If you want that row your own classic V8 muscle car feel, look no further this thing is an absolute blast lots of grins per mile. The C8 is incredible imo, but lack of manual makes it a harder sell, thanks for bringing this to us Joe! Great idea on the radar detector!!!
Joe great video!!! Lori great video filming!!!!! You guys are an inspiration and a fantastic team together!!! I have always been a Porsche & Corvette enthusiast but I like this Dark Horse better than the C8. I actually sold my C8. I still have my C6 427 60th anniversary Corvette. The Dark Horse is the last of the pony cars. I have driven several days now on the track in the Dark Horse. It is great fun!!! Thanks for the comparison of the two cars. Cheers‼️👍👊💪🐎🇺🇸
unfortunately, Ford knows that if you want a brand new, manual transmission V8 for under $100,000, you don't have that many options. Then you've got the fact that this one comes with the Tremec and the GT trim comes with an MT-82 (Which they claim is more usable and robust this time around, but I daily a 2017 S550 with the same transmission and it's dogshit).
As i've said before and i'll say it again, both the Mustangs and Corvettes are both really nice cars and fun to drive but when you see a Mustang (even this Dark Horse) coming down the street you will look and just say "nice stang or sweet mustang!) and most Mustangs you cannot tell one from another and they become (just another Mustang) but the difference is when you see a Corvette on the street like a C8 or any really nice Corvette like an E-Ray everyone turns and looks with a big WOAH or WOW factor. I guess i'm saying a really nice Corvette is more special and will get the looks from the girls. Ford is working overtime to make this Dark Horse special with its numbering on the dash etc. but it will never be a Corvette. Rich people don't ask themselves (do I buy a Porsche or Ferrari or a (Mustang) but they very well might say or do I buy a (Corvette) along with that Porsche or Ferrari !
Just about every time I fill up my C8, someone will always approach and start a conversation about my car. If I had a Mustang……..probably not. But you have to be ok with attention.
From an appearance standpoint,I prefer the look of the C8. The Mustang is too boxy looking for my taste. The C8 has a sleek,European car look...more like a Ferrari or Lamborghini. I have a 2024 C8 hard top convertible...love it! Oh,I do not put my golf clubs in the C8. That is for my Acura MDX.
I feel the same. Bought a '24 2LT w/Z51 package, paid quite a bit then saw this for 25k less factoiring in taxes. Thought I made a mistake but the sound of Mustangs are not appeasing to me but could get used to it. Front end is sharpe, rear end is basic and side view doesn't do much for me. I do like the interior, has a race quality to it.
Joe, I remember you doing a video in which you compared a C8 Z51 to the Dark Horse and said the C8 was definitely on the next higher level (in terms of performance, etc.). At that time I had had a DH on order through my dealer (who had six allocations)....but it was 10 months later when Ford informed the dealer they could only deliver three out of the six (of course, in the meantime, the DH shows up in the UK, Australia, Mexico, Canada, Middle East...but Ford couldn't took fulfill all of their domestic orders). So, I traded my in my 23 year old C5 (Z51 6-spd with only 30K miles on her) and picked up a brand new Torch Red 1LT (non-Z51) C8 two months ago, for just a little more than what my DH was going to cost me (got it for around $75K with some options)..and you were right, the C8 is awesome..I agree that the exhaust doesn't compare to the DH, but heck when the DH is trailing you in that sprint to the quarter mile, you won't hear the DH's thunderous exhaust. I believe I made the right decision in getting the C8 instead of the DH. BTW, so who really does make a better V8? You never did say... have a great day, and I enjoy your reviews immensely. Also, remember that the C8's are delivered to the dealer with covers on them...the DH, well it comes "bare" and sometimes travels on carriers with pickups, etc. And the paint quality between GM and Ford really shows. But that's another story (BTW, I've owned 5 other Mustangs in the past...so I have some experience with Stangs). I love your reviews, keep up the good work.
I had the money to buy a 2024 dark horse new for 64K but chose a 2022 C8 corvette stingray Z51 for 67K and added a Corsa Extreme muffler delete catback to my C8 and now I am just as loud as a Dark Horse !!! ;) Lol
Joe, love your vibrant and strength reviews about mighty cars like Mustang. Ear-pleasing roar. I'm waiting for your Mustang GTD review. That would be very spectacular Joe ❤❤❤👍
I'm 54 years old and I was never a muscle head car guy. Purchased 24 mustang GT performance pack call it a midlife crisis whatever but it's my absolute favorite car I've ever owned.
I am a big fan of your channel. Great accurate and reliable information. Not sure if you get your hands the 2024 super snake, if you do, it would be a great video for sure!
I still remember how excited I was when the fourth generation Mustang was released in Japan. I was excited to see such a cool car. The Mustang has established itself as a cool car even now, and it's a truly wonderful car.
I had a '68 Mustang fastback in white with black trim and interior. I sold it and got a Chrysler Newport convertible with a HUGE back seat. My girlfriends liked the Newport.
I just bought a Mustang GT CONVERTIBLE added Pony package exhaust upgrade and performance package every option in Vapor blue with Bembro brakes .Matt finished Wheels ❤😅
That car looks awesome, I love the black strips with the Oxford White, but overall I think ford knocked it out of the park with the design of this gen mustang, would be interesting to see if GM Brings back the Camaro to go after the Pony car.
Similar stats, 0 to 60, as my old 2011 CTS-V. It should be a really fun naturally aspirated car. I like it, but I'm in a C7 Z06 right now. Thanks Joe! Bye the way, I owned a brand new 1988 Mustang GT back in the day. I was rocking it at 20 years old. Loved it.
Joe touch the Star button and it will change the exhaust to track mode so you don’t have to use the pony button. My DH is chassis R1589 Oxford White with the Recaro’s . I prefer the seats in this video , I must say .
Being the fastest isn’t as important as the total driving experience, and this Mustang delivers. I think this compares favorably to a BMW and you'll get more bang for your buck with the Ford. Very nice and kinda reminds me of the cute Jag you looked at a few weeks ago.
With BMW you can still have a bunch of sedans… that was a big zonk when Ford started that fad of cancelling all sedans. I’m glad not everyone followed that fad
hey!! I have mine, same color BUT with Recaro seats and Manual, Track Pack... and I absolutely LOVE IT!! just a freaking BEAST!!! also waiting on my 25 Z06!! wish they put the darkhorse logo on steering wheel though and key FOB
The Dark Horse is my choice except for the screens. I really appreciate smaller screens and manual knobs. Adjusting a screen while driving is distracting imo.
My dream mustang is still the GT350, I will own that car one day I just know it. These look spectacular, just would find a way to get those screens deleted lol
I owned both a mustang and a SR. Couple of points u missed 1. The SR has a PDR 2. Optional front lift 3 removable top 4 better MPG 5. Much faster 6 magnetic ride
Hey Joe love the way the new 7th gen mustang looks. Ford did a good job on the new look. I just wish that it had clean competition like a 7th gen Camaro to compete with this mustang. To answer your question Joe I’m picking C8 Corvette. Thank you Joe for another great review 👍🏾😀
The c8 corvette cannot be compared to a mustang the c8 is a complete super car once chevy went to mid engine it completely left ford and dodge in the dust just wait for the new zr1
Not usually a fan of white cars but on this the contrast with black looks amazing! I just wish it had a traditional gauge cluster and not the oversized Ipads. That for me is unfortunately , a deal breaker.
This car looks better than a stingray in my opinion. The white and black on this one are a wonderful match. The factory wheels and exhaust are very good. Pinnacle American engineering from Ford. Thanks Joe.
I've been Stang Gang for many years. Here's hoping that they come with a mid-cycle refresh to fix that abomination of a screen. Screens are cool for display, but I want physical controls, particularly of things that I change often, like environmental controls and drive modes.
You asked about golf clubs in a sports car. I drive my Cayman to the course almost every day. Clubs barely fit. I have a wonderful winding road with no traffic to go full throttle through the twisties after my round. Room for clubs is a real consideration for me on my next car. As is a great sound system, although that can at least be upgraded. I love that the Dark Horse is available in a manual, but the interior looks cheap to me compared to a 2LT or 3LT Corvette.
Joe, great video as usual, and this is a cool version on the current mustang, but i say it went from hero to zero with that digital screen in front of the driver….looks like absolute shit. Like ford bought out remaining inventory before radio shack closed and said let’s use these screens on something. This car would be so much better without anything digital, using analog gauges and physical switchgear.
I would rather have traditional buttons for AC control than screen because it would be super distracting when you driving and change the ac at the same time.
joe greetings from australia watch all your mustang videos ,dark horse all sold here , so i am getting a gt , oxford white ,at 76 fast enough for me . i have a 2016 convertible gt now , going for a test drive of a manual thursday friend has corvette to much confined space fighter pilot
C8 is gorgeous, but if I had to choose between the two.... man I'd lean dark horse even if its overpriced, but at that price point you almost want the luxury appeal of the corvette. Dark Horse having a tremec manual transmission though is a huge bonus point.
The back seats are good to have even though nobody will be sitting back there. The back seats are reserved for the Twinkies I’ll be eating on while speeding down the coast.
What matters to me is the sound, comfort (I have RA), and performance of a powerful, naturally aspirated engine. Plus, when I walk up to my car, my heart goes pitter patter. All this makes me not mind the monthly payment. So, I prefer the more retro Mustang. This car is gorgeous and fills the bill.
Well I had a 2023 C8 Z51 got rid of it - didn't like it for a lot of reasons, cramped interior, difficulty to work on - on your own, everything related to the car is EXPENSIVE, performance mods are just a PITA to install, sold it while the market was up. Just bought a 2024 GT premium pack, performance pack, Recaro's, 401A, A10, MagRide, Active exhaust, for 3K under dealer invoice no arguing, no BS, got more than I wanted for my trade and the car was delivered to my door. Other than your usual Ford BS things on all Fords, body lines, paint flaws car is a beast and so far love it ... Better choice than the Dark Horse at $20K more. After modding my GT it is BETTER than a Dark Horse for $20K less... 👍
That may be true to get more HP for your buck , but resale wise you wont get GT mods more in trade in value than any other GT , Shelby, Mach 1 , Bullitt , all hold their value better , Did you know a Shelby GT 350R 2020 Heritage sells for 120k 4 yrs after production , That is Nationwide on auto trader .202O Mack 1 over 50k . Know your cars ✌
Corvettes has alway been mid engine, that’s a fun fact. I love this rendition of the Mustang. I would take this and the C8. I want to be able to row every now and then.
This Dark Horse was a first with me having painted stripes! They looked and felt fantastic! Let me know in the comments section if you are liking this Mustang!
I love the Ford Mustang Dark horse & even though it is the ultra Apostles to the Muscle Cars I still love it!
@@LuisUrbietathat’s awesome to hear Luis

No doubt the Dark Hoarse looks great and is a winner but that instrument cluster IPad needs some attention. Your correct that the instrumentation of the s550 was spot on. The instrumentation of the iPad execution could be a dealbreaker. Address this and Dark Hoarse could be perfect.

“I know you’re saying to yourself well Joe, I just divorced my wife. She took the kids. Now I can just use my money to get whatever Muscle Car I want since she’s going to have full custody of them. How much is this Dark Horse mustang?”
I freaking love what you did there l!
😂😂😂
Dead
LOL
Let’s see what that alimony gets you… TO THE DOOR PANELS!
The Mustang lets me know that Ford has not forgotten how to offer the joy of driving to consumers. God bless Ford. Henry would be proud.
It’s so great they kept the V8
And the Dodge brothers are disgusted by what Stellantis is doing to Dodge. Maybe they shouldn't sell to foreign companies.
and yet the Ford GT gets an ecoboost V6 lmao
The way Joe looked at that cop at 24:56 😂 He decided it's not worth going on throttle at that moment.
You better believe it! Gotta play it safe
ON THROTTLE!!! Let me just get some distance......lol
just wait until you see that GTD price tag xD
Joe!
I've been a Camaro fan forever, but that Dark Horse is a beast!!
Considering that Chevy has discontinued the Camaro, Ford said the hell with everybody else we're riding the V8 wave as long as we can!!
Job well done Joe, on the this content of the Dark Horse.
I was buying a “cheap car” at Porsche Tampa maybe 3 years ago and I think I saw you. Only RUclipsr I’ve seen in person
That is so very cool!
This won't be a popular opinion, but I don't care for an Imax screen in my car. It distracts from driving. And I like fine tuning with knobs rather than pressing on a screen all the time.
I’m right there with you
I bought a mustang and i got a survey thing recently. I emphasized that i prefer analog gauges and ac buttons. Hopefully they do read those.
I fine tune with skills, no knobs necessary
This x1000. More need to speak up against this trend. Personally, it's a dealbreaker for me.
I don't mind the screens, it's just the thick black edges of the screen that are a bother. Looks cheap or rushed. Im sure they will streamline it on 2yrs or so
Corvette is a different world compared to Mustang BUT both spectacular and desirable. Imagine being wealthy enough to own both. Great video Joe and Lorie......thanks !
If you already have a C8 what’s the point of buying this?
The Dark Horse is an amazing car and RR did a great review on it. Motortrend just did a head to head review comparison and the C8 was the overall performance winner over the Dark Horse. They're both great cars but the C8 still offers the best bang for the buck.

Wow great color package! Reminds me of the greatest color combo in history 1970 LS6 Chevelle Black with White stripes. Just my opionion beautiful car!
Man I love this car, but I still would like a corvette more
Nothing wrong with that
I considered it before I got my c8 but only cause the manual option
I dont understand how the dark horse is around brand new 75k. The ss 1le brand new was like 45k-50k with very similar setup.
unfortunately, Ford knows that if you want a brand new, manual transmission V8 for under $100,000, you don't have that many options.

Totally agree. I've had Mustangs and now a 23 C8 . However, with AWE Touring exhaust....sounds awesome!
@@Mark-wb1vlI opted for the 2M Fabrication exhaust. Other C8 owners say it sounds like an exotic car vs a muscle car. I agree.
The DH exhaust makes the c8 sound like a family car, lol. Still glad I went c8. Now after owning one for 6 months, I want the z06 😫
I had the money to buy a 2024 dark horse new for 64K but chose a 2022 C8 corvette stingray Z51 for 67K and added a Corsa Extreme muffler delete catback to my C8 and now I am just as loud as a Dark Horse !!! ;) Lol
@@livinglife3230 Lots of guys I know are tiring of constantly needing the Z06 in the high end of the power curve. Could always mod the LT2 as well.
Joe, now that’s what I call the stormtrooper setup, looks killer in white!
Good way to put it
Beautiful car love the Horsepower.The only thing is missing is a six speed manual transmission

I looooveee this Dark Horse!! It looks stunning in black and white🙌🙌
Love the Mustang Dark Horse. Looks like a beast and has the power to back that up. Hope to possibly get one in the future
Fingers crossed you can make it happen
2027 is my V8 year. Love the vids man, long time 🫡

Ford nailed it with Mach 1 and dark horse exhausts.
Great review and on throttle experience with a fantastic car . True muscle !!!
Joe touch the Star button and it will change the exhaust to track mode so you don’t have to use the pony button. My DH is chassis R1589 Oxford White with the Recaro’s . I prefer the seats in this video , I must say .
I love my (slightly older) 5.0.....but Corvettes, for many a year now, are next level. I happen to love the new Corvette platform.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this one.
Joe and Lori and Steve keep up the good work real true and I love the video 👍
The sound of the Coyote is almost second to none, but the Voodoo is the ultimate sound of an engine imo. ✌️
You are so very right about that
Being the fastest isn’t as important as the total driving experience, and this Mustang delivers. I think this compares favorably to a BMW and you'll get more bang for your buck with the Ford. Very nice and kinda reminds me of the cute Jag you looked at a few weeks ago.

Glad that you did this one. Man, I love this new Mustang look.
Corvette has always been mid engine.

I owned both a mustang and a SR.
Couple of points u missed
1. The SR has a PDR
2. Optional front lift
3 removable top
4 better MPG
5. Much faster
6 magnetic ride
settle down
Great overall review of the Dark Horse.
Only thing that sucks is the price. Hopefully next gen will come with a really good chassis to help drop weight.
Hey Joe love the way the new 7th gen mustang looks. Ford did a good job on the new look. I just wish that it had clean competition like a 7th gen Camaro to compete with this mustang. To answer your question Joe I’m picking C8 Corvette. Thank you Joe for another great review 👍🏾😀
It's Dark Horse for me Joe, all the way ,though with the Tremec 6speed.
The c8 corvette cannot be compared to a mustang the c8 is a complete super car once chevy went to mid engine it completely left ford and dodge in the dust just wait for the new zr1
*Ford Sells 10 Mustangs for every Corvette Chevy Sells*
@Ford_Raptor_R_720hp_V8 exactly the mustang is a production car where the corvette is America's last and only production super car
Not usually a fan of white cars but on this the contrast with black looks amazing! I just wish it had a traditional gauge cluster and not the oversized Ipads. That for me is unfortunately , a deal breaker.
You are not alone
Yes of course Joe & I would rather buy this.
I love the color on the mustang.😊😊😊
It really works perfect
Big fan of the channel, Joe. Question: Do you know the ground clearance of the 2019 Bullitt? Is it lower than a regular GT (5.7 inch?)? Thanks so much
This car looks better than a stingray in my opinion. The white and black on this one are a wonderful match. The factory wheels and exhaust are very good. Pinnacle American engineering from Ford. Thanks Joe.
I’m so glad that you like this one
The compliments a c8 get says otherwise, luckily they’re not plentiful in my area
I hate the giant iPad dashboard. The old 23 retro looking dash is where its at.
I've been Stang Gang for many years. Here's hoping that they come with a mid-cycle refresh to fix that abomination of a screen. Screens are cool for display, but I want physical controls, particularly of things that I change often, like environmental controls and drive modes.

The back seats are good to have even though nobody will be sitting back there. The back seats are reserved for the Twinkies I’ll be eating on while speeding down the coast.
I love the way that you think
I like the way you re phrased it from « it’s a little cheaper than the corvette » to « it’s a little less expensive » 😂
Another Great review!
Love your videos man and I also love this car
I really appreciate that Nick!
Good looking car! I'm going Z51.
What matters to me is the sound, comfort (I have RA), and performance of a powerful, naturally aspirated engine. Plus, when I walk up to my car, my heart goes pitter patter. All this makes me not mind the monthly payment. So, I prefer the more retro Mustang. This car is gorgeous and fills the bill.
Thanks for sharing that great personal insight
Buyer of the Dark Horse with chassis # R6870 should negotiate for a big discount because it was driven hard by a tester!
$78k for a Mustang is crazy…
Welcome to the times ⏲️ 😊
In Kearny Mesa Ford in San Diego they are selling one for $101,000
The real question is do they warrantee it if something breaks on the track
How about $325,000 for the Mustang GTD?
82k for the GT500 which is MUCH more car.
Good job brother... hopefully u can do a review on the 2025 chevelle... hopefully it comes out next year or late this year......
It’s a joke 14 more horses than a GT and no it’s not better than a C8.
Thanks for your honest opinion
Joe, how about a view of the gauge cluster when you're driving? I'd really like to see the revs!
24:57 that glance at the cop 😂
Can anyone confirm that you lose the “Mustang Dark Horse” text on the hood w/ the painted stripes vs vinyl @RaitisRides
Well I had a 2023 C8 Z51 got rid of it - didn't like it for a lot of reasons, cramped interior, difficulty to work on - on your own, everything related to the car is EXPENSIVE, performance mods are just a PITA to install, sold it while the market was up. Just bought a 2024 GT premium pack, performance pack, Recaro's, 401A, A10, MagRide, Active exhaust, for 3K under dealer invoice no arguing, no BS, got more than I wanted for my trade and the car was delivered to my door. Other than your usual Ford BS things on all Fords, body lines, paint flaws car is a beast and so far love it ... Better choice than the Dark Horse at $20K more. After modding my GT it is BETTER than a Dark Horse for $20K less... 👍
@@mr.majestic3851 I agree a little on your point however if keeping the car then no sweat 👍🏻
That may be true to get more HP for your buck , but resale wise you wont get GT mods more in trade in value than any other GT , Shelby, Mach 1 , Bullitt , all hold their value better , Did you know a Shelby GT 350R 2020 Heritage sells for 120k 4 yrs after production , That is Nationwide on auto trader .202O Mack 1 over 50k . Know your cars ✌
@@mr.majestic3851 I owned two Mach 1s a GT500 and a Shelby 350 I’m well aware 🙄
I’m sorry the new twin turbo corvette is a American marvel. No other American car can compete. But the price is too much
Love just about everything about the car, except for that infotainment screen and the instrument gauge.
Which is better? Have both beauties in the garage Joe.
Have your cake and eat it too,lol.
Keep up the great videos.
"A place... for some jolly ranchers" 😂😂 love the food and candy jokes you fit into your reviews
Corvettes has alway been mid engine, that’s a fun fact.
I love this rendition of the Mustang. I would take this and the C8. I want to be able to row every now and then.
They are cute little cars but Im sure its no match for the upcoming top spec Charger Daytona Banshee. Great video, Joe!
Thanks for letting me share with you! It’s going to be interesting for sure!
@@RaitisRides When you gonna get behind the wheel of a McMurtry Speirling Pure?
@@MurseTech64now that would be a wild ride! I’m
Working on tracking one down.
Adding a Whipple is a must for this model.
It gallops very well Joe 👍. I’m still not a fan of the C8 look. To me the C7 was the last true vette
I’m so glad that I can share it with you
I was not a fan of corvettes til 2020, c7 did have a manual option though
This is the only version of the S650 that I like so far
Now we are talking .... I made mistake a went on the wrong video ....this is what i want to see...what a monster
You just can't beat the sound of a V8!
Not bad looking but i enjoy my 22 camaro ss 1LE MT. Might trade it in for a c7 or c6 z06 one day.
Same car. Thinking about the same thing, but not sure buying used. If the 1LE lost 300 to 400 lbs, it would be perfect.
Oh look, a Mustang. LOOK OUT!
You’re hilarious
The S650 platform from the outside is great but inside with thoses screens 😞
That is the big sore spot
I've blocked out the S650 because of the screens. Just unacceptable, sorry.
That's the business!
