2024 Ford Mustang GT Review - BETTER Value Than Dark Horse?

[@komeen]

I actually like seeing reviews of base model cars. Nice to get a review of a bare bones version. Good work.

[@TheStraightPipes]

Same. It’s rare that they’re available to us

[@cbotten106]

Is a Mustang GT really a "base model" though?

[@Whoop-di-scoop]

@@cbotten106yes because it has a V8. The new base models comes with a 4 cylinder and no one would consider that a mustang

[@RatBürgerSk8]

​@@Whoop-di-scoopThe base Mustang II came with an I4 back in 1973 and made 4x _less_ power than the current I4 Mustang. The "real Mustang is V8" sentiment is silly, because the Mustang was never defined by one motor type.

[@728GT]

Entry level GT is 🤌🏽

[@MJH570]

I agree with Yuri, painted front end looks so much better than the darkhorse. Don't get me wrong the darkhorse is beautiful, just wish they'd show that paint off more with a fully painted bumper

[@MMOchAForPrez]

It's like buying black wheels. You lose a lot of the definition that the design has. It only works well on specific builds. I think the paint looks premium and makes the mustang look more unique.

[@TheStraightPipes]

I agree with Yuri. The best thing I’ve read all day 🥰

[@sategllib2191]

The black below the headlights is terrible. Not sure what they were thinking

[@Jmarzx]

@@MMOchAForPrez that’s subjective actually. Because I prefer black wheels because they actually match black accents well . And you can still see the design. Black is just more appealing. With more colors . My opinion

I bought a base model 2018 Mustang GT with a manual transmission new in 2018. It’s Kona Blue. I’ve taken it on road trips and it’s my commuter car. Bone stock. I love the car and prefer the cloth seats to leather. It’s plenty fast, reliable, great fuel economy, and comfortable. I got it for $28k and now that I see how expensive new ones are I plan to keep this one.

[@warrenseago5646]

Well, the thing is.. the MT-82 manual trans in the mustang is hot trash.. but it can hold a ton of power, once built.. so, just plan on modding it. Granted, it's not too expensive to have it built but still.. shouldn't have to do that on a new car.

A V8 sounds like it should. Getting to be a rare breed. I think Yuri should be getting one of these. I am glad Jakub took the lead in this video. His love of Mustangs is good. And, Yellow for a big beefy V8 don't look right either. Nice show today boy's,,,,,,

[@jpogigtxcr1778]

Might be hard to extract… But the thing is… that rear is robust, chassis wise. B & C pillar is close together. Front collision, it has robust engine bay to absorb impact. Even the rear trunk is deep, giving a big crumple space. And of course, very high rollover resistance. Have lots of bad crashes on my fb s550 forum, all of them just walked away. This car is a very good shell for accidents.

[@madcatmeow196]

I had a 2014 GT and a 2017 GT. I've been overseas for a couple of years and haven't seen these newer ones in person. Do they look better in person than in pictures/videos? I'm not digging the styling so far

[@169abr]

No, they don’t. Honestly at this point 11-14 is the one that has my eye and heart.

[@carterdavis5176]

I think they peaked in 2017 design wise, since then it's been bmw grille with Camaro tail lights

[@arivette2010]

They do but they still don't look that great in brighter colors in my opinion. They look good in darker colors.

[@shaddiehadid7547]

i think it depends on the spec i got a base model vapor blue with the dark horse package and it is stunning in the sunlight

[@lauroazv]

[@super8mate]

Glad I pulled the trigger on a new Camaro 1SS 1LE while I could. For $2k more than this base GT we got: Tremec 6-speed, Recaro seats, head up display, magride, eLSD, bigger brembos, etc. Ford enjoying monopoly muscle pricing now

[@cbotten106]

And clearly taking full advantage of having the field to themselves....$80K Dark Horses all over.

1. This still looks like a car from GTA. It's not a bad looking car, but outside of the tail lights, nothing about it says mustang to me. 2. That gauge cluster is an abomination. I will say though, it certainly sounds good. Nice V8 rumble.

[@Haske0]

that's probably the worst gauge cluster design i've ever seen

[@reidlos90]

Agree on the gauge cluster but disagree on the general design themes. I hate tacked on screens in cars that seem basically the default since Tesla made it popular. But the rest of the car has all the bits that make a Mustang a Mustang.

Base GT. Less upfront cost. Less paid in interest. More money to invest or mod. Don't feel bad about modding. Looks better (don't like the DH headlights). Better "track cars" out there for the money (M3).

[@728GT]

And if you want to make it a track car later, just splurge on a base GT with performance pack. That way you get the bigger brembos and cooling upgrades. You can then do whatever you want wheels and tire wise. Track/drag/autocross

[@tri3pleagent]

I found a base GT with PP, Brembos and active exhaust for about $45k. Excellent base model foundation if you're looking to mod.

[@Scruffalicious]

Hey guys, I have one of these. 10spd with the active exhaust, carbonized grey with the night pony package. It's fantastic. Every drive is a fun time. Paddle shifting the10spd in sport or track mode is way better than I thought it would be. A symphony of V8 goodness. Lots of compliments from friends and neighbors, folks love it. Nine months and 3000 miles, and it still as solid as the day I got it. It has endeared me even more to Ford, thinking about the Explorer ST for my next family hauler. Your friend should get the base manual performance package, supercharge it and have a blast.

[@lucian7182]

That’s funny I actually traded in my 22 explorer ST for my 24 gt A10, because my wife preferred our f150 5.0 as the family hauler. The f150 was a lot more comfortable, better visibility etc. I’m still not sold on the paddle shifters on the gt, but this is my first mustang coming from driving an sti for 7 years. I plan on using the auto to learn the mustang and I’m gonna trade it in 3 years once I have the money to get the 6 speed with all the packages I want lol they get pricey. 😅

I think the answer isnt dark horse or base gt. I think the oerformance package is where its at. You can get magniride with it and it comes with much improved cooling and brakes as well as stiffer dampers and sway bars and a k brace. Much sharper but can still be had for 20k less than the dark horse. 3k in steeda upgrades and you could run with the dark horse on a road course no problem. Great compromise

[@clplusp8762]

I’d be torn between: the less than perfect non Tremec 6spd which has been a weak point but would still be fun to daily… or the bulletproof 10spd which is awesome at putting power down with which my wife would frequently borrow it.

I'm wondering how good the Dark Horse is selling. Around me the GT350, Bullitt and Mach1 all held markups for a solid 18 months or more before starting to sell for MSRP. the Mach1 and GT350 2+years at many places. The Dark Horse around me is already being listed a few K under MSRP and used ones are going for 7-9k under their original Sticker. It makes me feel like dealers just cant move them.

[@marcingawlicki]

Yes you are right, lower trim it doesn't mean automatically that is worse, in my opinion that material on seats looks good. It's awesome that they don't put V8 on shelf. That amazing sound of V8, love it, it's so sad that more and more companies drops V8 for V6 or sad sad engines like inline 4 cylinders bi-turbo hybrid (Toyota I look at you) for especially 4Runners and pick ups they don't give even a choice to take V6 =( and for Land Cruiser, yeah that hybrid system is enough but it's not V6 or V8. We live in stupid times =(

[@_purge9488]

Only downside with the Toyota’s is a drop in towing capacity. Vast majority it doesn’t matter, in exchange you get better economy and better power delivery. People can cry it won’t be reliable purely because it has less cylinders, while ignoring the world record Tacoma 4 cylinder.

I am a regular GT or GT premium guy for day-to-day drive. For weekend fun, boss 302, Bullitt, march 1 and Darkhorse for sure. But if you have the money for Darkhorse, maybe better to spend some time to find a good GT350. it is probably at around 70 +/- 5k in Canada right now. then some shipping, logistic cost etc. Bullitt and march 1 will be 10ksih cheaper I think. Just my gut feeling

[@Whipsnap180]

GT350 is the obvious answer here. Definitely not biased or anything though...

[@marcingawlicki]

@TheStraightPipes If you have chance try to get for yourself test 1969 Ford Mustang Boss 429 that is thing of beauty with 7liter V8 and maybe you make a video on that it be awesome to see it. Than new one is good and even good looking for modern version and like many ppl here it's looks better than that dark horse version. Greetings

[@Ndumei21]

You were right Yuri, a convertible GT for the weekend is a good option. Just spec it well

[@TheStraightPipes]

Except my friend specifically doesn't want a convertible so Yuri is wrong

[@DMN3901]

@@TheStraightPipes So I just talked to Mr. Friend and they thought a convertible was actually a coupe, LOL! We slapped each other's knees and discovered the convertible was what they wanted after all. He told me Yuri has a beer on the house next time they see each other.

[@Aki_Lesbrinco]

A convertible version of a sports coupe like this is blah.

I'd buy the heck out of a shirt that explores the possibility of the SportTrim police SUV

[@LeadfootLou]

Don’t like the separated screens or the cloth seats. The Darkhorse is better looking but if you’re not going to the track then it’s a waste of money. Also if you live up north, you need to stay away from the summer only tires unless you have a heated garage. If you don’t want your car to scrape when you’re backing out of your garage, get a GT and don’t lower it.

[@JaideepVaidya22]

I would option this with just the magneride and call it a day.

[@phetogokgathi4217]

And the valved exhaust

[@JaideepVaidya22]

@@phetogokgathi4217 yes, I meant to this particular optioned car. This already comes with the valved exhaust right?

[@DylBuilder1]

@@JaideepVaidya22 It doesn't, that's a $1,225 option I believe. Although the car sounds great already, it's fun being able to toggle through the modes, and increases HP as well so I myself would check that box

[@hazard502]

Unless your buddy is an enthusiast and is passionate about all the extra touches that comes with the Dark Horse then I’d say he should go for the GT. Bc then I think he’ll get his moneys worth in experiencing that GT. Personally I’d go for the Mach 1, a bit more rare and I do like the extras that are built into it.

[@HrdStL11]

S550 Mach 1 for sure. It also looks much better.

[@captainamericaandcaptainma3337]

Dark horse and 2024 gt front look way better than mach 1

[@verynick]

Have the doors always been frameless?

[@VermillionRacing]

Honestly I love the dark horse, but the Mach 1 is such the better deal in the long run. Its $40,000+ cheaper, often cheaper than the base s650 GTs, and has most of the same performance goodies. you could get a mach one, fully build the motor and make 1000whp cheaper than getting a base darkhorse. And even get the s650 style headlights and whatever other mods you want

[@Jassman3536]

I personally like a nicely adult driven GT 350 if you can find one...otherwise, this yellow one works and just do some simple tuning to get another 20hp out of her.

[@dfro7159]

Your buddy should look at GT350,Mach 1, if he wants a manual. If he wants an auto buy the base gt in whatever spec he likes. I personally don’t think the dark horse will maintain valve like the older gt350 or Mach 1 as the original price was so high on the dark horse.

[@KeithSchwerin]

Agreed, but you can get the Mach1 with a 10spd auto also.

[@dfro7159]

@@KeithSchwerin yes of course. But that’s a waste of money, just like a dark horse with a 10speed. It’s just silly.

[@captainamericaandcaptainma3337]

​@@dfro7159How so? Dark Horse look better exterior wise and with extra touches

[@zuhayerahnafaziz6956]

Without a doubt, your buddy should get the 2021 Mach 1 or just maybe, the 2019 Bullitt (way cheaper than the other 3 Mustangs from this video, still comes with 480 hp with Tremac 6-speed manual).

[@Edde2016]

Unfortunately, there's no tremac on the bullit models.

[@zuhayerahnafaziz6956]

@Edde2016 The S550 Bullitt models do have Tremac. Just search it on Google or watch Matt on KZbin when he used to have his Bullitt before he sold it.

[@captainamericaandcaptainma3337]

But the front look better than mach 1 and bullitt

[@AndrewMalkin]

If your buddy isn't going to track it, they should get a previous generation Bullitt. You get the better transmission, but without the extra track goodies.

[@jasondickens9003]

Hands down Mach 1 much better choice. The instrumentation on the Mach 1 far better integrated than on the GT in the video or dark horse.

[@SUHAIL640]

Will you guys deliver to South Africa? LOVE YOUR REVIEWS!!!!!

[@SUHAIL640]

And I'd like a MK1 Golf front end T-Shirt ;)

[@Winslow.]

I just like the cloth seats over the top end seats.

[@djshaggy123]

My vote is for a previous gen Mach 1, or GT with the performance pack if your friend doesn't care about the tremec.

[@ferdinandhe5239]

think this premium version between model3p and dark horse base for daily use. is there anyone who own the car can tell my about real life owner review? like reliability or is there any major or minor issue?

[@1967PONY2011]

Im currently having a similar debate but s550 Mach 1, s650 Dark Horse or 20-22 GT500. The Mach or Dark Horse would bet a Whipple. The Mach 1 is sooooo much cheaper and can be tuned. Right now s650's cant be tuned unless you get the Whipple. I like the exterior of the DH but interior of the Mach 1. Love everything about the GT500 except they still dont have tuning for the DCT.

[@ceritasambilan]

i like design. does it have Pedestrian monitoring system?

[@Porkchop-76]

Nobody ever mentions this but the insurance price goes up substantially with a Darkhorse.

It didn’t
