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 got it for $28k and now that I see how expensive new ones are I plan to keep this one.

[@cbotten106]

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

[@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.

[@jessicaphoenix1312]

Oh, I did! I got a fully loaded GT Premium performance package with a MT. Sometimes I regret not getting the Darkhorse for that tremmec transmission, but I love the car and can't wait to get that whipple installed!

[@Haske0]

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

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. 😅

[@NBASFAN]

I'll tell you one thing tho. I saw one drove by and it actually made me double look again because it's not looking like a hotwheel anymore. The car looks really good in person, and looks a lot less bulky with those new angular lines.

[@gp5.082]

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

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

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.

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.

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.

[@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

[@ricowade4987]

great review. I am a little put off on manufactures just attaching these tablet style "info tainments" to the dash. It seems a little lazy as opposed to integrating to an actual dashboard layout. Great engine and drivetrain for this stang though.

[@Rskitalll]

Base GT 301a if it is your second car and just want fun. GT premium if it is your everyday, better sound quieter on the inside just nicer all around.

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. Maybe after my MkV Supra I may decide to get a GT with Ford performance supercharger🕺🏻

[@clplusp8762]

At the end of the day, V8’s just stir my car-loving soul in a way my Stg2 B58 never will, even though it’s adequately swift with about 420 whp on pump93

[@KeithSchwerin]

the 10spd is NOT bullitt proof.

[@clplusp8762]

@@KeithSchwerin by no means have I researched it extensively. I test drove a previous model GT with a 10spd auto and it was great. I’ve only seen videos on KZbin claiming that the auto trans holds power sufficiently even when boosted

I have a 24 a10 and it’s ok. I like it better in my f150 than I do my gt. I plan on selling the gt 3 years and getting a manual with all the packages I wish I had. Once the warranty is up I’ll buy the tremec and swap it.

When you pressed the "horse button" the entire button panel moved ALOT. Ford quality folks.

[@TheStraightPipes]

That entire panel is meant to move

Can someone explain to me why the previous model had beautiful digital screen well blended into the dashboard, while this one has digital screen in a form of ugly tablet glued to the dashboard? Why did they have done that? They already did better with previous model. Is it just for the sake of being cheaper in production? And before anyone starts telling me that digital is better than analogue - I am not debating that. I am debating why current digital screen is worse than previous digital screen.

[@aleewade4162]

Good job guys. Sorry Jakub, but Yuri is right on both counts: the Dark Horse will lose more $$$ after a year or two, even though the depreciation % rate will be much less and modifying cars IS for children... but then some of us never grow up

[@cadmando18]

You guys did an amazing job on this review! I own a 2021 Mustang HPP fully optioned for the track. My opinion is I really hate the new gauge screen, I think it looks so cheap and bad. I also think it lost a lot of mustang look on the outside and inside. I do like the switching between all the older mustang gauges though, I have owned the fox body as well as a 94 and 96 GT, as well as a 99 Cobra, a 2006 4cyl and now my 2021. I would say this new mustang looks the least like a Mustang and more like a Charger.

[@Stevethepirate8973]

Previous owner of a 2016 GT premium here and I agree. Hate the cluster in my friends new 2023. I think the 2018 is THE one to buy with the optional valve exhaust and PP2. Also just me but I like the looks just a bit better too.

[@dandoe1620]

Had a 13 5.0 then had a 15 5.0 until I finally switched gears and got a 2024 m3 comp in March. Both stangs were 6 speed. I love my M3 and it's considerably faster than the stangs... but man there isn't a day that goes by I don't miss the driving experience of the s550 and the sound of that v8 ❤️.

2:53 agreed this is piss poor yellow

[@monikhushalpuri]

I got a request for you guys, find and review a bone stock 94-95 5.0 5 speed GT, and in the same review compare a performance pack 2011-2014 3.7 v6 6 speed manual and a 2011-2014 gt manual...you'll find that when it comes to Solid axle rear mustangs the s197 is a refined and way better version of the 94-95 GT...from my own experience the v6 is the perfect comparison with the coyote being the cherry on top

• Mustang Dark Horse: daily-driving capable track monster • Mustang GT: comfy, capable cruiser with a hint of American muscle

[@hisdigness3]

Bruh, love the shirts. You gotta me a yellow shirt with black grill for a JL Willys Jeep Wrangler.

[@FastLane-Grip]

DH for me. If a car is heavy it still needs to handle well.

[@oversteer_9339]

There is still a manual v8? YEAH BUDDY!!!

[@dmack7265]

That yellow looks good.

[@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.

[@marcolerma97]

Jakub knows really good his friend.. The one that wants to buy the Mustang!! 😁

[@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.

[@BlakeJoy]

The name of those shirts are top tier

[@BlessBeNice]

American cars always Wonderful.

[@SeeKrez]

I'd BUY the GT and immediately dump the The MT82-D4 for the Tremec TR-3160 and eat the cost, and buy the trans-oil cooler too!
