Is the Mustang Dark Horse A Good Daily Driver?

[@damanriat6588]

bro is driving, holding the camera, and making crisp downshifts. Respect.

[@marcasswellbmd6922]

If it was an MT82 (without auto Rev matching) I would agree..

[@Bradley-j7v]

@@marcasswellbmd6922 19+ MT82s have auto rev match too

[@symplman14]

Love how Ford failed to put the Darkhorse logo on the steering wheel.

[@Freeway_Media]

I totally agree!!! I mean, it is a “dark horse” but not the original logo

[@davedave2882]

Dark horse owner here, don't forget the key fob! Heaven forbid spend a few extra bucks!

[@Cali4rniadreaming]

They just did the same on the GTD 300k plus car

[@thesummerprojectvids]

Dude, totally agree about the seat belt issue! It is incredibly annoying. Also agree with you on the weird lack of “my mode” total customization… my Raptor lets me change all the variables independently and save them as my own preset, so I was super confused when the DH wouldn’t let me do it. Last thing - was the new gauge cluster option in a new OTA update that recently dropped? I’ve been out of town for the last week, so I need to get home and get it installed!

[@Freeway_Media]

Yeah the new gauges were an OTA, I don’t think you can force it tho mine kinda just happened a few days after it was supposed to.

[@carlosl.9916]

Waiting for mine which should arrive (to Spain) by end of June... can't wait!! Apart from the seats, it has exactly the same configuration as yours so watching your videos really helps while waiting :-) Looking forward to seeing which mods you put on it

[@khalidberrouayel935]

hey! I am also from Spain, did you get the date from the dealership?

[@beavisdoubleo76]

My wife daily drives her Handling pack, manual.

[@sidstepper]

Im planning to get a DH premium this year in the same color. Looking forward to more videos!

[@Freeway_Media]

The color is awesome in person, you won’t regret it!

[@sidstepper]

@@Freeway_Media Yessirr, you should get the handling pack front splitter on yours, would look so good on it!

[@Freeway_Media]

For sure thinking about adding some custom stuff this summer

[@archiethedog4515]

That little, or should I say big seatbelt retention thing on those Recaro's are next to useless. I saw on Ebay of some 3d printed thing to go on it to actually hold the seatbelt.

[@DarkHorseWhisperer]

OMG I know what you're talking about with the seat belt strap rubbing/squeaking again the seat!!! I was thinking of putting the soft side of velcro on that area thinking that that might eliminate the noise.

[@ewok_deej7287]

This is what I’m gonna do with mine when I get one next yr. Can’t wait!!

[@MedStopPharmacy]

Man, I love the Dark horse and this video was just what i needed bc i want to daily drive it, but I was concerned about MPG. Did you primarily drive it in the local streets vs highway to get that 12 mpg?

[@Freeway_Media]

I drive pretty spiritedly. You can get much more mpg out of it but if ur buying the car for mpg no point in buying it, it’s meant to be driven!

[@markovilla1]

UK dude here living in Dubai where for some lazy-ass reason the Ford dealership here only imports autos. So, I could have had a GCC spec DH in auto in February but sod that; I bullied them into special order a manual for me. Vapor Blue, black roof. It was built last week and arrives in Dubai in August. I'm sure it will be worth the wait!!! Will have to decide whether to keep my BOSS302 or not when it arrives.... 😛 Nice video bro and very honest. Gave me some good tips for when mine gets here 🙂

[@JesusHernandez-lo6fx]

I know you lose some performance but you can run regular unleaded right

[@Freeway_Media]

I believe so, yes

[@loganmichael6099]

They're gonna yell you that typewriter tick is normal.

[@Freeway_Media]

I’m not worried about the tick, the sound I was talking about didn’t really show up in the video.. it’s a belt slipping / chirping

[@HarveyPVP]

Which state do you live in? The neighborhood you went through kinda looked like mine.

[@pam3906]

I might have daily drive. Gt 350 prem

[@cesarrios4349]

Is there a goodie box like the GT350?

[@Freeway_Media]

Goodie box??

[@MzGamr90]

I kept my paid off Honda civic for less than ideal driving or parking situations where I live. I got a 24 Base GT in manual…there have been some days where I’ve picked the wrong car to drive as it relates to traffic. Nonetheless before I even got my mustang this was always going to be the plan. I had no intention on this car exclusively being the only mode of transportation for me. Well at least not now. But i have several friends who daily drive mustangs tho.

[@Freeway_Media]

That’s a really good idea, I’d for sure say having a mustang as a 100% every situation car can be less than ideal.

[@MzGamr90]

@@Freeway_Media absolutely. It’s so much construction and ripped up roads in Atlanta and sometimes I would rather pay for the flat repair on the Honda versa the mustang lol. I don’t wanna flat at all but between that and less than ideal road surfaces it’s been plenty of times I’m glad I had that Honda to jump in.

[@TheSonson31]

hi baby lol 5:42

What's it like wearing those sunglasses everyday, They look .... um ...really cool

[@Freeway_Media]

one of the only 2 sunglasses that fit over my glasses lol. Just got some oakley's instead because of the stigma these get

[@stevepinnegar4968]

The 80’s called and want their sunglasses back..😂

[@wheelwrightpl9429]

Soft steering is NOT less responsive, it is only lighter to the touch, because the steering ratio remains the same.

[@Freeway_Media]

Personally I do feel as if the steering is less responsive in comfort mode. Could be placebo, but for sure does feel that way to me.

[@milamber8397]

I have the regular gt premium, and during a rain storm it was very hard to see and i got same driver needs rest warning, i may have jerked the steering wheel or something.. i think that caused it, then message keep voth hands on wheel, even though i was already 😂

[@cormaro13]

Ceramic coating the windows will help a lot especially during rain storms , I need to do mine soon after the storms pass here in Texas But easy to put on diy wise

[@Bigbawdy5.0h]

What’s your camera set up

[@Freeway_Media]

This was on a GoPro hero 12 black, I just got a new WAY upgraded camera, the canon r8.. next video will look so much better!

[@Bigbawdy5.0h]

Man I got the Sonny a7 Iv and man that thing don’t culture as it supposed to the insta 360 go pro did better than the Sony camera

[@Freeway_Media]

You probably just need a better lens or better settings, the more in depth cameras take a bit more learning to look good

[@salvadorjorge1458]

Love your car bro

[@Freeway_Media]

Thanks!

[@ZayKH]

Is it just me or does it sound from the inside kinda similar to a 5 cylinder? I used to drive a Ford Focus ST MK2 and it kinda reminds me of that

[@jeffreyadams5833]

I love it the style

[@pam3906]

Your a good driver

[@garrenturk4093]

5.0L chirp is normal….. I wouldn’t worry about boss…..

[@Freeway_Media]

Chirp = belt slipping = not running nominal

[@Eli-pu8ob]

been riding in my buddy’s new mk5 supra, it’s a really fun car and honestly debating between a dark horse and that. Leaning to dh just because i feel the the performance ceiling on stock motor and trans is a lot higher on the mustang, adding a supercharger ect, but it’s a hard decision

[@Freeway_Media]

For sure a huge difference between those two cars. Personally, I would take the mustang all day. The mk5 would be awesome, but I don’t think it would fill the void that the dark horse does.

[@Eli-pu8ob]

@@Freeway_Media haha yeah, is yours the premium? and does it have the dark horse puddle lights? and how do you like the recaros? i seen on the build sheet that it removes turn signals on the mirror?

[@Freeway_Media]

Mine is not the handling pack, I prefer the better ride. They do have the puddle lights though!

[@Eli-pu8ob]

@@Freeway_Media ah gotcha, Yeah i feel like a v8 vs b58 the v8 has more to give, sense the s650 does share a lot of components from the gt500 i’m sure it will respond really well too boost, The end goal is to have a procharger on the s650, But how’s your screen? i’ve heard they have been really laggy, but fords releasing updates so im sure it will get fixed in a matter of time.

[@johngoodman293]

seems like a W car.

[@Smity435]

If you want a Darkhorse for cheap, get a Mach 1. I'm loving mine so far

[@Freeway_Media]

Somewhat, yes. Slight differences, major difference on the interior.

[@marcasswellbmd6922]

That's funny because I drive my GT around a lot in comfort mode too..

[@johndrake2729]

If you can afford the gas bills.

[@LRZN]

Dude said I love the sound of a v8 but owns a lighting lmfao😂
