Ford just released a video teaser of: "The most advanced, powerful, and track-capable Dark Horse ever. Coming 1/15."

Turn up the volume to hear the supercharger whine & stay tuned for more info!

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.

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'...

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.
