Ibid. "The coupe comes standard with MagneRide dampers, and it receives firmer springs than the standard Dark Horse. Ford also fitted new anti-roll bars, revised the front and rear knuckles and front control arms, and added a lightweight magnesium strut tower brace. The steel suspension...

Ford won't comment on differences between the Dark Horse SC engine and other models, e.g., GT500 and GTD. https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a69998472/2026-ford-mustang-dark-horse-sc-revealed/

According to Top Gear, it is the GTD engine, but less than 804 hp https://www.topgear.com/car-news/usa/new-mustang-dark-horse-sc-gets-wild-supercharged-v8-gtd I thought the GTD was 815?

Funny how they can promise all of this on a car that they have not even seen yet, much less bolted a huge 3.8L blower onto . . . " . . . the Dark Horse SC upgrade is being engineered with a focus on OEM-level integration, exceptional airflow efficiency, and robust thermal management. As with...

I guess they can pump up the PSI because of the "low compression" 9.5:1 in the 5.2. I remember when engines for blowers were 7.5 or 8:1 and "high compression" for the street was a scary 10:1 or 10.5:1 that often still detonated on pump gas in the summer. Iron heads. Carburetor. Distributor...

Which would probably ruin its ability to complete 6 hard laps . . .

Geez. There must have been a lot of inflation in the 80s, because I could not afford a new anything when I was 20, either.

20" I just used google

It is around 1433 for those sizes.

As I watch Porsche make incremental improvements every few years, I observe Mustang fans bitching about incremental improvements . . .

One way to think of it - this is a new model, S650, of GT500, which most of us wish they had never stopped producing, anyway. I think this is great news. I do not understand the disappointment from others at all. I could not afford a new GT500 half a decade ago, either, and I probably cannot...

I am guessing they may have improved cooling, aero, suspension design, and programming on things like the magneride. After all, it has been several years and a model change since the GT500 was produced, and who knows the last time engineers were allowed to improve upon the design when it was...

They even advertise changes to the rear suspension geometry. It looks like they went through and made small improvements everywhere. There is a lot that could be missed if you are reading quickly.

I think these are some serious track capable upgrades. Anybody posting that this is a Whipple on a GT is an idiot. There is a lot to this. Read the lengthy list of what they changed. It is basically the GT500 engine and transmission, although we do not know yet what they may have changed...

We'll see whether the priorities change about 20 minutes into a session on a 30° C day. I hope you are correct. I do, however, have doubts. We'll see.

The Ford Racing cars (Dark Horse R) are up in the 270s 280s all the time. They have a large, upgraded aftermarket oil cool in front of the radiator and a custom dual pass radiator, in addition to ducting and permitted holes drilled all over the fan shroud until it looks like Swiss Cheese (the...

Now I am even more eager to hear how everything works out.

The video does not tell us much about the new Dark Horse SC, which makes only a brief appearance, but it is an entertaining video.

It looks like Michelin tires instead of Pirelli Trofeo RS.

My idle oil pressure once up to operating temperature is 36, but that was not 241° inferred oil temperature reading, either. It is around 190°, so I expect that the oil pressure at idle would be less at such a higher temperature.
