If you don’t have nothing nice to say, don’t say nothing at all, I enjoyed your video. I can’t believe some people that waste their time and energy in a long winded negative reply, I guess it makes them feel better, so buy the base model and throw a supercharger on it now you got a sleeper.
Yup I agree with you, I guess some people are just unhappy and it makes them feel better to lash out, and yes that's the goal I want to address the suspension first then focus on throwing some power at it, I love that these cars can pick up so much power that easily.

It just comes off as envy.

This video is retarded. Of course wider rims and bigger tires are more expensive. Of course thicker sway bars and bigger brakes are more expensive. Of course better aero bits are more expensive. Of course the mass of all that better hardware is going to weigh a little more.

The dark horse will destroy a base GT in performance because of all that added grip and down force. They aren't even in the same conversation on a track.

The first mod you should do to a GT is wider rims and bigger rubber. It will help both 1/4 mile and lap times. The car is way under tired unless you got the performance pack.

If someone gave you the option of a choice between a free ecoboost, GT, or dark horse 100 out of 100 people are taking the dark horse.

Now is a dark horse worth 40k over an ecoboost or 20k over a base GT? It must be because they're selling. It's just a very limited supply of people who can afford a 70k mustang and would choose one over the competition.

The base GT is a steal $/hp, that's obvious. The Dark Horse is in more crowded performance territory where someone is going to really have to love the mustang body style to purchase it.

To me the argument isn't even dark horse vs GT since they aren't really in the same ball park. It's dark horse vs C8 or BMW or Cayman.

To me that's where the dark horse falls down. If I was spending 70k on a car it wouldn't be a Ford. But for 40k no one else can compete.
I agree with you for 70k I'm going BMW but at 40k the Mustang GT is the clear winner which is why I and many more people chose the GT, especially when you look at the cost to build and make that 40k base GT into a car that will keep up with and even surpass cars that cost $200,000+ more money.

Btw awesome spec on your GT, that's one of the best spec and color in my opinion.

I think that a more accurate price comparison of a Base GT against a Dark Horse be a Base GT with the high-end interior (301A), performance package, active exhaust, plus the cost of parts and labor to install the bigger oil cooler, transmission cooler, differential cooler and any other mechanical upgrades that the DH has. These would certainly narrow the price gap. I regret I do not have any information beyond what is on the Ford "Build" website to run such a full analysis.

Haha I agree with you and I have a strong suspicion that you're not really an a hole.
I suppose I need to step up my troll game then. I know a few people on here who can help with that; I’ll reach out to them for the sage trolling tutelage.

for 70k I'm going BMW
See, right there, you just lose credibility. If you said ‘Vette, Camaro, AMG, Porsche etc. fine. Hellcat? sure. But if there is one group of people on this planet entirely too impressed with their own abilities, it’s the bmw engineering team.

I’ve rented 2 that were trouble free, and 2 more that were not trouble free. One abs and brake failure, another had an unexplained fuel pump shut off. The latter was a replacement for the first one where the brakes went out. That was enough for me.

Can I really shade the entire brand for 2 failures, one of which with potentially fatal consequences? Yes. Yes I can.

Now get your Mustang to a track and have some fun.
Video. Or it never happened.

Lol my problem is I've already had like 5 different Camaro's and want to try something new, and as far as the Corvette's I'm 6'6" 255ibs so I don't fit comfortably in Vette's, and AMG and Porsche are currently out of my price comfort range, so BMW is the only logical choice for me after Ford, but yeah I agree with you on them feeling themselves too much.

Like if you posted the same exact thing that I just posted and I felt for whatever reason that I don't like what you wrote, or I don't like your content, guess what I'll do? I'd just shut the eff up and not comment on anything you post, fairly simple right? The world would be a much better place if most people learned that simple lesson of if you don't have anything nice to say, then don't say anything at all, especially for things not directly addressed to you.
But you did address it to everybody.

Lol I addressed it to the general public so anyone can read it, that's the beauty of life we can make choices in what we choose to engage in. Like right now I watch news on Youtube and some of them I can clearly see is propaganda based and meant to influence weak minded people into hating and fighting each other so that the rich can keep on taking advantage of the majority of the population, and even though that really upsets me, I still choose to not comment on their page because I know it won't solve anything, instead I choose to make my own content in hopes of bridging the gap and bringing all of us car enthusiasts together as one.

4.9 is good for a base 300A. Slap a Whipple on it and Dark Horse limps home with tucked tail. Plus another certain guy here needs assist from Dr. Kevorkian. Where's Dr. Kevorkian when you need him? U-Unbelievable these people these days. Seems to many in this Cuntry have their panties in a bunch. Pure negative energy. Go find Jesus people!

Seems to me Mr. Pale Face is so full of hate against his fellow human. 🤔, maybe Mr. Pale Face is not human and came to this earth from an Alternate Galaxy to stir up hatred on this planet? He's doing a good job of it. Need more? Ok. He opens our boarders to let in murderers, rapists, gang members, and assorted other criminals, they get in trouble, and Mr. Pale Face let's them out of prison without even a slap on the hand. Am I getting into politics? No. Just stating what I see. He wants to give our land to foreigners and states they were here first without asking us who were here first. Not to forget the Satanic Genocide enacted on Us. His soldiers are everywhere, yet my people comprise less than three percenter of the population of any major city in Texas, our ancestral lands. No, I'm not getting political. If you people can't get along the same thing will happen to you that happened to Us. Have Wunderbar Day. Keep smiling Little Dolfie.

S650 Mustang 5 Reasons Why The Base Mustang GT Is Better Than The Darkhorse! eating-popcorn-gif-4


You guys are the best!!!! This has been entertaining as hell.

I haven't watched the video as I don't need justification as to why I purchased a Dark Horse over a GT (which my previous Mustang was). I wanted it, I can afford it, so I did it. End of list.

If you are down? Jump in!
if you aren't? Jump off!

Still, best of luck in your ventures. Beats working a 9-5 for sure.

I do enjoy a good channel though; Jacob, Joel, Tyler, Derek, hell even Brandon if you guys are reading this (and I know at least 2 of you are on here) keep doin' your stuff. People that SHOW me things that I don't know about or don't know how to do? Those guys I respect. People who throw shade because it doesn't align with their dreams, or maybe budgets, or their whatever. Those tend to be failed channels waiting to happen.

Some channels are highly informative. Others are basically Only Fans with Engines.
