Greetings all!
I just wanted to make a quick post here to share my 2024 Dark horse i just purchased two days ago! Im not new to the mustang world. ive had two fox bodys, a 94 GT, 07 GT, 11 GT, 19 GT and now the 24 dark horse.
The dark horse is a 600A - 6 speed, no handling or appearance package and recaros in Atlas blue with only 2,000 miles! Exactly what i wanted since its going to be driven.
Coming from a 2019 GT Performance pack 10 speed (which i loved!) this car is a whole different animal. I made a post about it here asking for feedback on the differences, but nothing could prepare me. The 19 was outstanding, but this is phenomenal!
The biggest differences ive noticed right off the bat, is the handling. The 19 didnt have magnaride and this one does -I have no idea what they did to the chassis, but this dark horse feels like a steel beam! Absolutely ridgid with no body flex or lean..
The transmission is a dream. I gladly give the 10R80 its due, and i drove it for 6 years, but there is just something about shifting your own gears, and what a dream this tremec is.. its comfortable when cruising, and has the perfect feedback when pushing it. Really love the rev matching too. I used to always do this myself, but the computer makes it so easy now!
The exterior and interior are a huge step up to me compared to the S550. When the 650s first arrived, like everyone else, i didnt care for the screens. But once you sit behind it - they are so unobtrusive and once you get used to them - its impossible to want to go back. The technology is wonderful. The exterior is menancing and i cant stop looking at it now.
The engine is just - perfect - smooth, powerful, the low end torque seems so much more improved over the Gen 3, the top end is bestial as always, and the stock exhaust is almost perfect. Im still debating going with an H pipe resonator delete, but i dont want it to ruin the sound too much (my 19 had it and i loved it, but this seems so much louder stock vs. stock)
The only few things ive noticed...

The only few things ive noticed...
- The hood has a bit of play when you push down on it when its closed - ive noticed at highway speeds the hood flutters a bit. Is there an adjustment somewhere i can make to fix this? common problem?
- The seatbelt constantly squeaks against the recaros. I tried fitting it through the loop that is supposed to hold it, but it doesnt seem to stay - or that its even designed for it? common? is there a fix?
- There is a slight rattle/buzz on the driver's window over rougher roads.. if i barely push on the window it goes away.. any easy fix for that?
- I noticed the wireless charger isnt very good and also heard they took them away after 24? seems to heat the phone up a lot and not really charge it. any fix for that?
- Anything else special to look for? Ive heard the 24's had issues with paint and body panel fitment, but i havent seen a single problem so far when i detailed it. however.
