2024 Dark Horse Motortrend Review: We didn’t expect it to break a MotorTrend performance record

Shorter stopping distance than a GT2RS and Viper ACR. Impressive

Impressive results

So that's 0-60 in 3.7 seconds (with a rollout, no doubt) and 12.0 in the 1/4 mile on a prepped surface. Not too bad, I guess!

That would be hard to repeat on the road.

Can I have mine now please.

Yes ... same numbers as a 350R but coming from a 19 PP1 a10 previously... much more consistent acceleration with the A10 then the 350R will get you...

I mean all cars tested are sticky track with roll out so if you gave faster acceleration numbers here expect to be faster on the street as well...

Also should point put the 350R gets faster acceleration numbers then the 350 due to the wheels

So while I think the DH carbon fiber wheels are ugly... the DH should pick up another tenth with them

i just laughed at how ABSURD an 86ft 60-0 is. That’s amazing.

And the 0-60 and 1/4 figures are respectable.

Quick! Get this into the threads about people losing their shit over poor 1/4 performance figures.

wait wait wait......somewhere on this site is a post about how disappointing the DarkHorse was gonna be right? Oh those folks who talk crap before the numbers are in

The numbers were in before on the manual car... and they were not that great... I mean remember A10 s550 GTs were running 11.8s ... 0 to 60 faster for the DH but if 1/4 mile faster on the s550 that means it catching the Dark Horse on the big end

The stopping is impressive though...

But get used to it.. I mean the a10 550 is faster then my car too and I paid much more for my car also ...

I think that is probably programming for the A10. I remember it takes a good 1k to 2k miles for those transmissions to settle and learn how to shift for the s550. Plus the DH is a track car so it doing that in the 1/4 mile is a bonus.

Those are some respectable numbers, however it's braking and acceleration are complete because of it's tires. I dunno about the Darkhorse over a cheaper pp gt and buy stickier tires. You'll have to buy more tires for the dh in about 1000 miles anyway lol.

The numbers keep getting thrown around like every gen3 runs 11's in any weather. With what gen 4 can do now it will likely match up or beat the gen 3 in similar da. Every gen 3 I've seen get 11's stock did so in winter. There's also the fact that a free mod on the gen 4 gets it 20 hp lol.
