Yes there is a post that states as much, and I've seen many more stating they dont overheat in a typical HDPE session. Again, the CHT is not typically the reason GTs go into limp mode, its the diff temp, and the M1 diff cooler fixes that issue. As soon as i get my car i do plan on tracking it...

The DH has a diff cooler, a transmission cooler, and an additional oil cooler like the Mach 1 and the GT350 track pack. Road course days are the reason you buy a DH over a GT. Im sure the DH will last longer than a GT.

That's interesting, ive read a lot of threads on M6G that say otherwise. The diff temp is typically what puts the s550 in limp mode, not the CHT temp. The Mach 1 does come with diff cooler, transmission cooler, and an additional oil cooler like the GT350 track pack. Ive seen threads stating they...

Here is an interesting take, talks about how removing the 'dyno plug' on these motors is hurting the numbers.

Eh, the journalists ran them all day long at Charlotte with no issues, as told by the journalist themselves. Additionally, this was a huge selling point of the Mach 1, which has already been proven to run HDPE days with no overheating diffs etc, and this is a direct evolution of that car. I...

I had a whole post written up, but I dont want to stir anything up. Ill say this. Dynos differ from day to day, and from dyno to dyno. Great tools for checking gains with mods. Not good for comparison across different dynos on different days. Also, 1 gear difference to 1:1 on a dyno has been...

Yikes i didn't realize it was a 2 minute lap. Thats not good. Typically was taking S550s about 15 minutes to hit limp mode if i recall.

A lot of the time, the temp issues are with the transmission or rear diff. Both of which have coolers on the Dark Horse. I think the DH also has an additional oil cooler. The temp issue is common, the S550 was the same way, the GT PP would not get a full 20 minute HDHP session without going...

One of my favorite YouTubers.

People ask why choose a Dark Horse over a GT, and it's because if you want to go to a road course stock, the DH will not overheat. If you plan to mod it, i think either are fine, but goes to show a DH is not just a GT with a badge.

Oh you haven't gone over 4k yet? Yeah, id be willing to be you are happy when you get there.

I really am curious what you mean by this. The Coyote has a ton of high rpm horsepower. Its not going to feel like a torque monster down low. But it should feel very quick, it will be MUCH quicker stock for stock than you 79 400 TA.

I was around for this on M6G (check my join date). They hated the looks, then the performance, then eventually, everyone had one. Seems familiar.... either way, I love all Mustangs. I'm glad its still around!

I'd love to see a 2024 GT and S550 GT quarter mile time head to head on the same track same day. The horsepower gains on the dyno for a S650 ran back to back with a S550 show to be more than enough to offset the weight gain. The only thing i could think that would make a 24 slower is the torque...

I'm telling anyone that will listen 🙃

Can I have mine now please.

This is me. I knew since they announced the HP numbers last December it wasn't going to be a considerable performance difference. I just had to decide which car looked better to me as far as Mach 1 vs Dark Horse. Obviously chose the Dark Horse, but they are going to be nearly identical on...

Buying a DH for 0-60 times is a head scratcher. A base GT with no options except 10r80 is going to produce the best 0-60 and quarter on power to weight ratio. It also will not stand up to constant flogging on a road course without going into limp mode, nor will it match a Dark Horse lap time...

I keep seeing people mention FP mustangs, the Mach 1 was not a FP mustang either, and the DH is a direct evolution of that. As long as you have realistic expectations of an evolved Mach 1 on pretty much the same base chassis, you should be pleased. I know that is what I am looking for.

RevanEvan said the steering was a bit light but it was very precise, he had very good things to say about steering, magneride, and the A10.
