After all the hype of the "GT500 replacement" were getting a supercharged dork horse. What a let down.

Let me guess, it has a whipple on it?

Honestly slightly disappointed that they reused the Dark Horse name over cobra or boss. Sounds mean tho

I mean, isn't it still a Shelby gt 500 replacement if it's something with a predator making north of 800 hp and a host of other upgrades?

If its a really being called a Dark Horse, wont it have a 5.0? This seems like a trim package, or perhaps a variant but I sort of doubt that means a whole new engine. Maybe more of a street legal DH-R with a SC. Potent, but probably stupid expensive for what it is. We'll see soon.

It's quite useful for regions like Middle East, where we can't install a whipple and retain a warranty, neither would authorties pass the car in the annual check if it isn't stock from factory.

So am pretty excited about a factory supercharger.

now this, i might trade mine in for. if the price is right and it's different enough, of course. excited to see more!

Of course. It’s Jim Farley’s Ford, and it’s probably going to weight 4,500 lbs and cost $150K.

Notice it says “Most advanced Dark Horse ever…”, it doesn’t say Mustang.

Most track capable ever with a supercharger? I am eager to see what they did for cooling. I think you all are looking at this the wrong way. The most track capable Dark Horse ever with a supercharger is a huge advancement.

They would not make a claim like this if the car is going into limp mode after a few laps due to heat.

They used that phrase quite literally with every presentation of a new trim in the last couple of years and it means close to nothing.
It can be translated to: 'we did the bare minimum but with a maximum in marketing it looks spectacular'...

100k+ no thanks

Expectations are a funny thing. Some folks have theirs set so high that Ford could never meet them. Others are more realistic and understand that the Mustang is still an amazing value in a category that no one but Ford seems to have an interest in. Bottom line. Regardless of what you think we were going to get a SC’ed, track ready Dark Horse is going to be very cool.
