BATTLE OF THE V8's // 2024 Dark Horse Mustang vs. 2020 Shelby GT350R Mustang // Stock Comparison

[@DS22723]

Shelby GT350 first debuted almost 7 years ago and the car just never looked old or outdated, in my opinion it's the best N/A Mustang that Ford have ever made. I'll never get tired hearing that 5.2L Voodoo V8 screaming

[@davidreddington4381]

Good cars are timeless, they will never really look outdated per se. Maybe not new but not outdated, timelessly attractive 1967 Shelby GT500 1969 Boss 429 2003/2004 Cobra 2011-2014 GT500 The S550 GT350 and GT500 will fall into this camp as well

I have a 350, and there's nothing quite like the progressive pull of the Voodoo. I've taken a few people through this perfect set of twisty roads in it, where you can just leave it in 3rd and roll on it to redline, and then right at the top, you are entering into the next turn, heavy brake, carve through the turn, and then back into another long, hard pull to redline (about 1.5 miles worth), and at the end, they've all said how they felt light headed. Between, the pull, the braking, and the lateral g-force in the turns, your brain feels like it's sloshing around the entire time. It's amazing.

Im a 2020 GT350R owner and I dont know about this video. I have no doubt the R can beat the DH in a roll race if its manual to manual but the 10 speed would be closer. This vid I believe is for marketing for Hennessey in terms of showing a huge gap in the case to make DH owners think they need alot more power to contend, thus DH owners going to Hennessey for a boost upgrade. Thats just what it looks like to me.

[@Granite_5.2]

Negative, the gt350R was just tuned for headers. Trust me/ R owner to R owner, we have weight and power advantage. Carbon fiber wheels make a huge difference in acceleration n stock we are 480-490 while the darkhorse has around 450-460 on a good dyno day.

Naw dark horse just a price tag for them

[@proffru]

As I previous owner of two GT350 and now a current owner of GT350R let me tell you that the 350R does feel different from regular 350 however they are both excellent vehicles, can’t compare a collectible piece of art 350r to a mass produced dark horse with a regular cayotte motor that has nothing on 5.2 voodoo. 350r feels and drives like a very special car

[@thesantuary]

Did you find the 350 better for daily driver?

[@proffru]

The regular 350s I ve had both with regular A/C seats and they are more comfy then optional recaros in gt350 or standard recaros in 350r. Regular 350 less loud due to the fact that resonators are present and not deleted like in the 350r. There is a noticeable difference in sound. So if you were to daily then regular 350 is preferred and it is still looks very cool, drive very special, but 350r feels different and more raw.

[@Driver.Diaries]

That Voodoo 5.2 is a very special engine. I once raced my buddy’s one in my Charger Scatpack. As he pulled away it sounded so good 😅

[@BrianJohnson-mm6od]

The Dark Horse, in my opinion, is more like a current version of the 2012/13 Boss 302. It just has more creature comforts. Other than that, I love the Mustang and always will!! (I've owned an '06, '14 and a '17). Looking forward to the next one!

[@awesomeness369]

Honestly what ford could've done is rode the GT350 out 3 more years and called the Dark Horse the Mach 1, honestly this was the needed upgrade from the regular GT the Mach 1 needed to be

[@awesomeness369]

But that's giving Ford too much credit in this time period especially coming from marketing with names like "Mustang" Mach E, "Bronco" Sport, "Mustang" GTD, F-150 "Lightning" to which could've been replaced by the all new Ford Edge EV or Ford just Mach E, the Escape Timberline, the Ford Nightmare or something menacing, come up with something new, do something, you can only use the same names so many times without the name loosing meaning. A mustang is a 2 door RWD sports Coupe V8 with a Manual Transmission, to me that's a Mustang, not some stupid ass 4 door AWD Electric SUV, they literally share nothing in common but 2 things and that'd be the tail lights and the logo 😤

I don't claim to have the best eyes, but what I see there definitely seems like some sandbagging going on. At around 0:39, the Dark Horse's rear end appears to squat, which suggests that it wasn't putting down full power to begin with. And then at 0:45, the front-end dives, which seems to indicate that it was braking. I just call it like I see it.

@@Mureftw “Special” relative. Let’s also include the ADMs that dealerships charged when the GT350R came out, which jumped the price to $70K-$90K. That easily puts it in range with the MKV Supra Manual, and the Camaro ZL1. Both are also very special. Personally, I’ll take a Mach 1 HP over the GT350R. It still revs high enough, handles the same as the R, looks incredible and …drumroll….its way more reliable. Second choice, MKV Supra Manual. The GT350R just has the FPC sounds that is not far off a Gen 3 Coyote. It’s no LT5 FPC.

Oh boy another roll race . Everyone is to damn afraid to put a GT350 up against a DH with the 10R80 on a Heads up drag race . What are y’all so scared of ? Are you afraid the GT350 just might get it’s but whipped ?

[@Granite_5.2]

Why would you put an auto vs manual? U sound goofy.

[@bkehlin]

As expected

[@DjayyStacks]

Let me get this str8, new laws neans slower & more expensive cars? Sheesh

[@GoGoggansGo]

For those curious as to why the dark horse lost so badly even with the 10r80 it’s from a multitude of things not just it makes 500hp vs 526hp The gt350R has a couple major advantages, 1) carbon fiber wheels are a huge advantage they free up “they don’t make extra hp they free it up like a lightweight drive shaft or under drive pulleys” 10-15whp depending on the car 2) overall weight is significantly different that dark horse is damn near 4000 pounds most gt350Rs are 3600ish “don’t quote Me” it’s a good 2-300 pounds less that’s huge 3) powerband differences this is another one most people won’t realize but the current gen 4 coyotes are nerfed pretty bad because of tier 3 emissions, they make nice power up top but boy they gave it up in the mid range and bottom end of the powerband. Aka the dark horse would need 50 additional Hp or so to be in line with that GT350R

[@pronoob_allday5632]

You explained that third part perfectly, I’m interested in seeing the powerband once the cars can breathe better, cause the only difference between the gen 3 and 4 blocks is the change from timing chain to belt

[@jr688]

Not sure what these dark horses are dynoing at either, but I know the 350s were putting out on avg. around 50 more HP than the 526 as advertised.

[@abelw71]

Regardless of speculation Dark Horse got its ass handed to it.

[@poopscooper5038]

The 350r just outclasses the Darkhorse

[@boost331]

Not even a fair comparison. Gt350 is a totally different engine. The dark horse is basically the new mach 1. Thats what it should be compared to.

[@lastoutlaw_2129]

Why not compare DHR to Shelby GT350R that's a better comparison of the 2 cars. The DH will lose due to the nature of its engine and the HP manual vs manual.

[@lastoutlaw_2129]

@doberchic I would just rather see an apples to apples thing tbh. I'm not expecting the gt350 to lose. Even the mach 1 and other track mustangs lose to it from a roll. Now a dig it would have lost. But its a Shelby I expect it to win. But I'd also like to see more races and everything because I feel they left in the gt 350 PowerBand. But all you need is some tuning and another 20 hp to make it even. And the DH would probably win. But someone raced a gt 350 with a DH and the race was closer. So I have my thoughts so I say more content is needed

[@lastoutlaw_2129]

@doberchic I like this generation and the old ones. I just think it's funny that this generation this hated. But in 3 yes gonna be well liked 😂. They did this with the s550 also amd the generations before it.

[@brentbass8094]

The DHR is not a street legal car - not the same thing

[@lastoutlaw_2129]

@brentbass8094 idc about that lol. I'm talking about in terms of weight savings. That's why I said DHR vs GT350R. Either way I'd still like to see more races regardless. Rolls, track, digs.. just to get consistent data. Then go against the mach 1 and other cars

[@shadad07]

More horse power, lighter ....expected result.

[@forallyall6143]

I am a mustang fan, we have a Mustang GT Conv 2019, Dark horse should be here in a few weeks. BUT WHY are people completely obsessed with a rolling start race, its the dumbest , absolutely most insecure thing in racing. Its only purpose is to try and get a result that could not be done from zero. The 350R probably has it either way. but I bet I will have to go to the track to find out for sure. Dont think many stock 350 guys could handle risking their feelings getting tore up LOL

[@toljo433]

Not everyone can afford to go to the track and you’re going to street race on a roll which is 90% of the time people race, you can’t just stop on the highway and do digs lol

[@RCXDerp]

I'm pretty happy with my 350 haha
