The kid's real. He has too much trust fund money and has a bunch of YouTube videos.

Seems like if you liked the camero that much you’d already have one. The performance does seem to be much higher for the money but if you don’t like the car what difference does it make? I don’t understand this guy when he’s buying Lambo‘s and Ferrari‘s.

Comparing a car that will have 56 models to ones that aren't being capped saying that it's a better buy? Bruh they are going to be marked up insanely. I can't wait for the Darkhorse to blow everyone's bs thoughts out of the water.

I’ll say this…the DH, (stupid name) (with nite pony being even stupider unless for a 3 year olds bedtime toy) looks great in the Blue Ember paint. I noticed something new on the S650 today that bothers me. The back bumper cover is sloped really high into the 1/4 panel removing much of the panel itself in favor of extra bumper cover. It looks odd if you think too much about it. I also wish Ford would redesign to flush out the windshield and rear window to the body. That would elevate the quality perception of the build. Edit: it’s kind of high on the S550 also but not as extreme.

Well it’s kinda the mach 1 / Bullitt problem because it’ll come down to how much faster or how much more power it’ll make VS the mustang gt. The bullitts I’ve never felt were worth it over the mustang, this includes all the previous versions. They’re cool but it’s kinda like i hope you like a mustang gt with a few updated parts and a 10k charge. The mach 1 is more of a mixed bag the 03-04s are cool and have a superior engine vs the gt’s 2 valve, and it was with the up charge if you got it at msrp back in the day. The dark horse is really going into the unknown because we don’t really know how these cars are going to go down. Ford hasn’t really done this kinda thing as far as throwing more aggressive cams at something, because the dark horse could potentially be a good bargain if it makes significantly more power vs the gt when tuning is available. Let’s say a full bolt in mustang gt makes 550whp and the dark horse is 580whp with the same mods. You’d be it’s worth it and if you wanna do any sort of boost the dark horse will do considerably better with the better transmission, rods and potentially block


So currently you can’t say whether it’s worth it or not till we start seeing them modify and tuned

Just my two cents

He’s not a bad dude and he actually drives his stuff. But he’s like strang mode he really doesn’t know what the heck he’s talking about. Stang mode was dumb enough to take a 2020 GT500 and instead of working with someone like Ken a pale beach to advance his hp. He throws cams at it and other mods that the car didn’t need. Blows it up and cries

Like bro nobody is camming these GT500s you’re wasting your time and money stupid

Shoulda had the flat plane crank and the Tremec for the money. I have a regular old GT being built and I have a '23 ZL1 as well to make up for the crappy, low torque 5.0 and the MT 82.

Still is amusing to watch! Wish I had his money when I was a kid. Oh, the cars I woulda owned!

I completely agree or at the very least push it further why did it have to be a 500hp target. Why not push it to 8000rpm and make 530hp, it doesn’t have to have a flat plane crank to do this. I think the dark horse is a hold over for whatever ford has planned next. It’s kinda like the 2001 cobra where in hindsight it was obvious SVT was dragging out the N/A for the terminator’s development which ended up being true since early 2002 cobra prototypes where having a heck of a time making 340hp, and had massive torque losses down low. Variable cam timing is an amazing thing without it, svt was screwed and we got the terminator because the early N/a 4.6s “340hp” cars where dogs at the track

This is 1000% where I am. With this new camshaft and potentially different block (from that other post), the scenario you mentioned above would be a helpful nod for cost justification. As it sits, it's a tough sell for people already in a gen 3, especially one with a tremec.

but blowing up a GT500 will get way more attention than doing smart mods! That's all that goofball is after at this point

I don’t know about that he got blasted pretty bad and he’s got more money than brains. He’s the only YouTube car channel i really can’t stand because he doesn’t have a clue what’s going on
