Not really. A Dark Horse is a bit over 4,000 lbs., right? A Scat Pack is 4,300ish? That's only one fat guy heavier. And to have a larger, comfy, practical car that actually has four usable seats is well worth that small trade-off.
I've had a lot of Mustangs and I enjoy the one I've got...
People have said that for years. 2024 Mustang Dark Horse is what, 4,050 lbs? A Challenger Scat Pack is 4,250ish? The 2025 Charger is all new chassis and platform that's more lightweight, so the gas versions will likely be equal or less than the Mustang in weight.
650+ horsepower in a body that looks like the late 60s Mopars and has 2 doors available?
The more I see of it the more I love it. Everybody is focused on the EV version. Yes the EV version will be expensive, heavy, (fast as hell), and annoying to keep charged. That's why you buy the gasoline...
And AWD/RWD selectable. Wow. Can't wait to hear the transmission ratio and axle ratio specs. If they do it right even the base models will be nasty 0-60.
Gotta' admit, I love it. The base model with ICE is 420 HP and with the twin turbo nature of the engine it'll be tunable for big power. It'll also start around $40k or slightly more. And it looks awesome. Hmm....
We were always told throughout the years that the more often you’ve got the clutch pedal depressed, the faster the throw-out bearing will wear. So I’ve gotten into a habit of going to neutral when I see red up ahead. This way I use the clutch once, not several times, and then select the gear...
So on the new cars there are TWO of the MAF sensors that'll get ruined by the oil from the K&N filters now. :) Seriously though, prospective buyers should look at that Project Farm video where he tested air filters. The amount of junk the K&N lets through is exponentially greater than a stock...
I’ve had 2 Challengers and several Mustangs. I don’t understand where the misconceptions about the Challengers come from. Mine was like 4100 lbs. The new Mustang GT Premium is what, 3950? That’s pretty damned close. I also had no problems with the handling. My Challengers handled amazing...
I’ve seen quite a few videos lately where Camaro SS cars take down 5.0 Mustangs. I really don’t know what to make of it. Of course there are a lot of variables. But I just don’t see how that’s happening. I mean, my car is a ’13 Premium with the MT-82. It’s got a Flowmaster muffler kit and...
Well first of all the design of the hood is retarded. That 3-angle corner on each side makes it look terrible and it's also nearly impossible to line it up perfectly with the grille and both fenders. Stupid design on Ford's part.
The '24 I looked at when my dealer got it in had wrinkled...
I would bag up a low mileage Mach 1 instead of a Dark Horse. They're a little stronger on the dyno, more unique, and will hold value better in the future.
I had a feeling they'd be slow. Saw some on the streets at LS Fest last weekend. My '13 GT is Steeda CAI/Tune and mufflers only. I can run with the brand new stuff door to door. It's sad really. But it saves me $50,000 because now I don't want a new Mustang anymore.
I looked at a '24 convertible in the showroom this morning. First thing that stood out to me was how poorly stitched the leather covers on the seats are. Obvious wrinkling and looseness in both the back and front seats. Unfortunately this shot I grabbed does NOT show the worst part of the...
I don't believe they'd invest money to develop a new gen engine for two model years. That would be dumb. We'll see Coyote around for a long time as long as they keep selling well, which they should considering that both major competitors are bowing out.
The problem with the Z cars is they are just so damned small inside. I'm an average dude, 6'3" with my shoes on and about 224 lbs. and I can barely even get into or out of a Z. They are miserably uncomfortable. I understand it's a sports car and you aren't going to have room for boxes, gear...
That in fact is the interesting thing about it. The body sheetmetal of the Challenger hasn't changed since 2008. That's fifteen years. And yet they still outsold Mustang and Camaro both up until 2023. To me that proves that Dodge had the perfect formula on those cars. True retro looks...
