It speaks a lot to the efficiency of the increased cooling capacity cited by Jim Owens.

Being in Florida, all I can say is YIPPEE!!

Fun fact I hadn't heard anywhere else before:

"Care to guess why the Ford Motor Company chose 486 and not a round number? That's because of the 6.4-liter HEMI, the 392-ci lump in the 2023 Dodge Challenger R/T Scat Pack, which is rated at 485 and 475..."

I knew it was true, but not that they targeted that number specifically.

Ok, is it just me or did it seem like grandma on that clip. Granted I have never been to a track or driven a car with anywhere near this amount of HP, but that sounded like me doing an intro lap cuz I didn’t want to crash on lap 1.

Masterclass?
I drive more aggressive on my way to pick up fast food.

Likely due to the embargo on the Dark Horse reviews until next Tuesday.

I see it as a bit of a teaser.

And there may be more than a little bit of truth about crashing.

I certainly wouldn't want to the person that crashed one of Ford's new Dark Horses.

Theyre probably getting crushed anyways. Pre-production cars don't have a long life.

Wonder what he was able to hit on the straight...my instructor at Mach 1 Track Attack was around 135 on the demonstration lap

I thought the same thing. The driver wasn't really putting the pedal to the floor...ever.

Same thoughts here. He wasn't pushing it at all in the infiled road course. That was embarrassing.

Dang!

Oooof

I believe it was 130mph. But it didn't look he was on it very hard, might be more left in it.
