Is the 2024 Ford Mustang Dark Horse a BETTER sports car than a BMW M4?

the Dark Horse is the top performance version of the 2024 Ford Mustang. On the outside you will find unique paint, 19in wheels, hood stripes and quad-tip exhaust. On the inside you will be greeted by a leather & Alcantara interior. Under the hood is a 5.0L Coyote V8 that pumps out 500HP & is mated to a 6-speed manual gearbox.

I had a Blue Ember Dark Horse with the handling package on order, then canceled the order when we found out my wife has cancer in Oct. she had to take a leave of absent from work and I took a year off to care for her. Honestly, I think she's more excited about the Dark Horse then I am, because at the Sacramento Autoshow on Thanksgiving, we saw a Dark Horse, she sat in it, had a big grin on her face. Sometimes, life throws you a curveball, but eventually, you'll get back on track and that Dark Horse will be in our garage one day.

This car is an instant classic. And the sound of the 5.0 liter V8 dares anything else to approach it. Fantastic car.

[@MKu64]

Unfortunately with that dashboard, it won't be a classic - it will look dated in a couple years if not sooner. Should have kept it classic - tech is moving super fast and the screens scream the year 2023. I was really looking forward to being able to keep it for a long time, given all the EV crap... but now it just looks like any other modern sports car inside (BMW or even the new KIA).. It's a nice car! But that interior will just look cheap and old soon.

Great video Joe!!! My neighbor on my left side just got the new BMW M3, he paid $115K. My neighbor on the other side has the Dark Horse. He spent some money to lower the weight down to 3630 pounds which is now lighter than the M3 and the Corvette C8 Z51. I have had a few track days in his DH with the Handling Package and it out performs the C8 Z51 on the track. Car & Driver in the Dec issue did their 0-150-0 test and the Dark Horse came in 2 overall in the braking portion beating the Z06 in braking. So the Dark Horse is competitive and very decent as a daily driver car. I ordered the DH back on 6 April; still waiting due to the UAW strike. Hopefully will arrive in March. Throttle House guys out performed the Mach I & C8 on their course with the Dark Horse. Imagine setting the car up with headers, full 3” exhaust, & Whipple SC stage II; recent Dyno reviews over 800 rwhp 600+ torque!!! Thank you Ford for building the 7th generation Mustang!!!! This DH is gonna be fun. Thanks for the great video both of you guys, (Joe + Lori)!!!! 👍👊💪😎❤️🇺🇸

Torn on the Dark Horse. Like the majority of it, but to me, there are a few styling misses. Don’t care for the matte finish under the headlights or the rear wing spoiler.

[@DWH300]

I purchased new a 2018 Chrysler 300C 5.7 Hemi. It currently has only 29,100 miles. I've added an aftermarket exhaust. Larger throttle body and a throttle body spacer. Cold air. When I purchased it I needed a 4 door performance, luxury sedan that didn't break the bank. My wife recently traded her Honda sedan and purchased an Awd Edge ST suv. Now her vehicle gets most of the use for vacation, etc.. After a recent test drive of an S650 Dark Horse. Next spring baring any unforseen issues. I'll be trading my 300C for a new Dark Horse. I immediately discovered the new Dark Horse has been refined in many ways compared to the S550 Mustang it replaced in both exterior and interior design along with handling, braking and extra performance with it's new stronger built high revving Gen 4 Coyote. Overall I found it an amazing Mustang and a great daily driver.

@@12DreamsFull- having owned a Mustang Bullitt and several BMW’s, I agree that BMW has a better product in many ways. The best thing about a Mustang GT is the sound and overall performance for the dollar. It’s a very cool powerful package. However, at $70k+ the BMW offers an M2 at $70 and has a wonderful new base 2series coupe with incredible handling and looks a bit like a Mustang. It’s only $40-$45 as 4 cylinder base and lots more power with a turbo six.

@@rembo183 I totally agree. I owned a 98 Mustang GT and presently own a 2011 BMW 335i. When it comes to quality build and handling there is no comparison. The BMW is it.
