Drag Race: Shelby GT350R vs Mach 1 vs Dark Horse -- Which One Do You Think Is Faster ?

[Deleted member 64400]

Many of the commenters on the video and also a couple here mentioned that the DH needed a driver mod. Wasn't his best day for sure but, the ONE thing he needed most was a tire. Literally smoked his way through first AND second gear on the drag race. Dude had no traction.

Agreed.

Hi guys this isn’t my video and I didn’t watch it yet but I’m curious to know which one of these Mustang’s you think will come first, I’m voting for the Dark Horse.

is it just me, or don’t hear a bunch of 7G whiners trying to justify their ride?
Even in the runs where the darkhorse does not smoke the tires, the power to weight ratio is evident. I think you younger guys call it being gapped.
Sorry, you’ve been Voodoo’ed!
You can have my 350 when you pry it from my cold, dead fingers..

If I could have two Mustangs, one would be a 6 speed, and not a daily driver. Traffic with a manual is just a PIA.

Try a 3 speed.

Been there done that. Three on the tree for my licence test. Plus the handbrake cable broke on the hill start.

You do realize if we wanted the gt350, we could have bought it right lol Most people buy new cars because they're looking for a new car.

Very nice interior…..if the rest of the car is that nice and you get tired of rowing gears, let me know.

I watched the video the other day as well and it was a total cluster fuck. I mean despite the bad driver in the DH, the car was always almost a car length behind when they accelerated in the rolling start. Apprently because the DH had cameras for the angle. What a stupid assumption. I reckon the Mach 1 and the DH would have been neck to neck. DH has slightly more power, but the Mach 1 weighs less.

Yeah I gave the DH the slight edge because of newer technology.

How does a S650 Mustang coupe weight as much or more than a BMW G80 sedan? That’s kind of wild.

How does an M2 or 240i weigh as much as a Mustang? They're not big cars.

So sorry, but the “older” technology of the GT350 kicked ass. Turns out that heavy tech and tablets aren’t that fast. But they sure do cost more!
Just sayin’

Haters will hate. I’ve driven and owned all variations of NA mustangs since 2015.
GT350 was a special car that needed to be driven and maintained like a race car.
a real unicorn and one of my favorite cars of all time that I never had the balls to buy!
On the other hand I honestly believe The Dark Horse is the best all around street, manual sports car ever made. Modern tech, handling and power, all brought together with a quiet , solid chassis.
Pick your poison!

Actually they don't. The cost on those screens is pretty cheap to make.
