5 Reasons Why The Base Mustang GT Is Better Than The Darkhorse!

[IceGamer]

Very close!

1: The OTD Price is way cheaper 42k Vs $78,000 that’s a $36,000 difference that’s a whole other car!



2: The cost of maintenance is way cheaper Just the cost of tires alone you’re spending roughly $427 a tire for the 305’s on the dark horse vs $211 a tire for the 255’s on the base model GT.



3: The base model GT looks better than the dark horse in my opinion due to the front grill on the dark horse.



4: The Mustang Dark horse weighs more than the base GT with the dark horse weighing roughly 3,993 lbs and the base GT weighing 3,827 that’s 166 pound difference literally the weight of another human being.



5 Performance I watched a U drag episode of the Dark horse with the automatic gearbox in optimal settings run a 4.3 0 to 60 and I ran a 4.8 on a dusty road in 93 degree weather with a base model manual gearbox Mustang GT, so it just doesn’t make sense to be paying over $36,000 to get roughly the same performance in the real world, and have higher maintenance and worse looks.

There you go for everyone not wanting to watch the video lol you guys hate Youtube content I see

The problem is not that 'we' hate YT it's just that you ask for interaction on a topic and hide the topic behind a very mediocre video.
If you would've posted your 5 reasons and an additional link to your video no one would have blamed you - but the way you did it is just atrocious.

Great people. Best on earth. My wife originally had a Ecoboost PP loaded, but she wanted more power. Her mom wanted it. So her mom bought it with 2k miles on it. I think. I'm using her Mach 1 while she's in training, and commute with it. Going to have to get myself another Mustang very soon. New or S550. I like the S550 dash better. I'm not going to be choicy. Will be retiring in a few years.

I hear you, I feel like the Mach1 is the sweet spot, I was even considering the Mustang Bullitt at one point as well.

Cool thanks for the advice I will try your approach next time, I'm new to this forum and I'm still learning the etiquette, I've been in the Toyota forums longer and they don't care about stuff like that so I guess I got a bit spoiled.

All I'm hearing is I can't afford Dark Horse so everybody make me feel better. So I guess I'm just one of those ignorant mustang owner. Maybe find a better job then trying to be an influencer because your not good at it. The only a hole I see is you.

If that's all you're hearing then kudos to you brother I'm sorry the video wasn't beneficial to you.

Personally, I buy as many toys on a car as I can afford. I just like stuff.
Like big brakes, sporty exhaust, etc.
But if there was a DH on the showroom floor, I don't think I could have resisted

I hear you, I think I would feel the same way if the front end looked more like the regular GT, I just cant get past that front end.

Comparing a loaded, handling package Dark Horse to a Base GT on price is a bit unfair.

I whined about replacing the Trofeos but Ford is selling you a car you can literally drive to the track, run a track day, and drive home. Of course you’d better replace those Pirellis right away because after a track day, they’re heat cycled to death.

The looks are subjective.

track options are going to make cars heavier. The Dark Horse handling package cars aren’t marketed to drag racers - or you’d see skinny front tires.
Nothing new here. the ’87 LX weight much less and quarter miled faster than the GT’s of the era.

For track days, auto cross and similar disciplines the Dark Horse is better positioned.

Haha I agree with you and I have a strong suspicion that you're not really an a hole.

Now if I get a 300A both my wife and daughter will have top of the line cars compared to mine. But my daughter's future husband will have a Dark Horse Premium Ember Blue. For me it's Mach One or Bullitt, But an A10 is needed. Legs bother me sometimes. I like the green. My mother's favorite color.

You guys let me know if you agree with these reasons or not, especially reason number 3 which I know can be subjective. If you're not interested in supporting me or my content I completely understand, but for those of you that want to be a part of a positive movement to keep companies like Ford producing fun V8 muscle cars, go ahead and watch the video and feel free to give me your feedback after watching.

This is hilarious!
But not surprising on how some peoples brains work.
Whatever works for you dude

Nice I love that color green as well, and I hear you man I've been both a boxer and played a lot of basketball and my knees still hurt from all the basketball lol.

Reason #6, the DH has a tad less tq management than the GT and thats it... So you paid $20k extra for a lie.

lol it's actually not a bother to most people, if I you feel bothered you can simply ignore and focus on your own life, the rest of us are having a good time conversing with each other.
