Gen 4 Coyote 5.0L V8 Specs & Photos (S650 Mustang)

You could say the DH version is a Hi-Po model.

Fair point. I should say a more potent, hotter version.

If the GT3 car gets a 5.4L engine, I'm hopeful the new GT350 (or whatever the next special model will be) will get a version of the 5.4L

I'm thinking we'll see a road car variant of the 5.4 at some point. I believe the homologation rules require a road car version of any engine used in the race cars.

I believe that's correct. Same situation for Corvette; they put the C8.R engine in the Z06 cause the race car power plant has to be homologated.

Base 2024 GT is 3,730#

The 2024 GT with performance pack is 3864. My 2018 GT with performance pack is 3860. It lost zero weight

Performance pack always adds more. I made sure my car didn't have it, as I just wanted it be street/strip with emphasis on strip.

The point is, the S650 didn't lose any weight. Apples to apples, they weigh the same

I never thought it would lose weight. I'm just glad it didn't gain weight like the 2015's did.

Thats funny. I put them on my 21 the first week i had it. So used to seeing them I didnt give it a thought.

Finally, mustang boys won't be bullied for not having hood struts. We can rejoice! (Until in 10 years when they give out and the hood falls on your head)

I guess I was hoping it would go on a diet. Not going to buy another nearly 4000 lb track car.

That's why they have the track-only versions of the Dark Horse. I wonder how hard it would be to convert it to a street-legal vehicle...

I would imagine quite difficult. Would have to get it a VIN and remove the roll cage at the very least.

Any info on rev limit for the new Dark Horse with these engine upgrades???
Sounds like a new Boss with forged rods, crank and upgraded cams

Honestly no idea why they upgraded the rods. I think it may be more of a marketing decision than anything, but we will see, maybe the rods actually help the engine.

I expect the rev limit to atleast be what the gen3 has, but unfortunately no info on how high it might rev.

I don’t think the dark horse will rev higher than the GT, but I hope I am wrong.
