5 Reasons Why The Base Mustang GT Is Better Than The Darkhorse!

[Cucurú]

Henry II had a beef with Ferrari so he named his Ferrari killing machine the GT40. The name kind of stuck around afterwards.

Ha ha! I had a feeling something like that was involved.

GT means Grand Tourer or Grand Touring. It's a direct translation from the Italian "Grand Tourismo" which was the name Italians used for cars that traveled at high speed over long distances with luxury and comfort.

Ford's Gran Torino was named after a city in Italy called Turin, and came well after they started using the term "GT" on Mustangs.

Funny that, the car was as big as the city. (Nearly) There's a mindblowing car museum in Torino. I couldn't imagine the value of some of them.

Yeah, but he had to fit 7 litre engines after Ferrari thrashed the 5 litres.

So they couldn't name it after NY?

Didn't Chrysler grab that name first?

oh. A comment I forgot to post days ago. Quest is over. Too much problems with used cars. Too many mods on them. Do my own mods. Picked up a 25 Oxford White 300A pure base. Going to put a Steefa Tri-ax race shifter. GT350 1/2 shafts, Steeda stop the hop, Steeds H-Pipe, Ford Tower and K brace. Procharger after they release them. Then 19s. My DH Premium is sold.

Nice congratulations brother, and yeah man buying used cars is a chore nowadays.

Ever hear of Noelll? She does vids on her Black Nite Pony with red interior on YouTube. Such a cutie pie she is. Now my daughter wants one like mine. She says having a DH is too much worrying, and idiots trying to jack cars. I don't worry too much about her. She has a CCW and Sig. She wants to build the two cars exactly the same. But I insist she gets the Switchfire.

She's cute and kind of talks like the Southern Belles I know. Her ride is bad ass.

She's definitely got some hair.

You seen her? Wow! She's hot! Kind of talks like she's doesn't know much, but that's her cuteness. Fine looking woman. Why if I was single I'd take a long vacation to the Dominican Republic. There's loads of them like her. My daughter stayed there for almost 4 months. Can only stay about 30 days. So she flew to Jamaica, and Puerto Rico, then went back. Lots of beautiful women there. All ethnicities, all mixes.

Very close!

1: The OTD Price is way cheaper 42k Vs $78,000 that’s a $36,000 difference that’s a whole other car!



2: The cost of maintenance is way cheaper Just the cost of tires alone you’re spending roughly $427 a tire for the 305’s on the dark horse vs $211 a tire for the 255’s on the base model GT.



3: The base model GT looks better than the dark horse in my opinion due to the front grill on the dark horse.



4: The Mustang Dark horse weighs more than the base GT with the dark horse weighing roughly 3,993 lbs and the base GT weighing 3,827 that’s 166 pound difference literally the weight of another human being.



5 Performance I watched a U drag episode of the Dark horse with the automatic gearbox in optimal settings run a 4.3 0 to 60 and I ran a 4.8 on a dusty road in 93 degree weather with a base model manual gearbox Mustang GT, so it just doesn’t make sense to be paying over $36,000 to get roughly the same performance in the real world, and have higher maintenance and worse looks.

There you go for everyone not wanting to watch the video lol you guys hate Youtube content I see

Translation:

1. Can't afford a DH
2. Can't afford a DH
3. Subjective opinion
4. 166# difference
5. Can't afford a DH

There ... now nobody needs to watch the video or fight about it.

If he thinks 1/2 a second 0-60 equates to roughly the same performance as a Dark Horse.........

Im going to modify your answers

1. Can't afford a DH/ Never driven a DH (and even if he did wouldnt understand the differences)
2. Can't afford a DH/ Never driven a DH (and even if he did wouldnt understand the differences)
3. Subjective opinion
4. 166# difference
5. Can't afford a DH/ Never driven a DH (and even if he did wouldnt understand the differences)

If 0-60 times are the only measure of performance....I mean I should probably put my car up for sale today!

I had a Dark Horse Premium. Drove it, loved it. Hate idiot drivers who came close to crashing into me. Plus all the punks who wear their pants to their knees looking with thoughts of jacking my ride. The only one getting jacked is them. I'll jack them up so back they'll scream for MAMA!!! For peace of mind I commute with a base GT. I'll still jack them up they mess with this Apache.
