Saddle Up // 2024 Ford Mustang Dark Horse 10-Speed Drive Review (POV)

[@Sonic_1000]

After owning a 21 Supra 3.0 Premium, several 6th Gen Camaro SS's and Scat Pack Wide Body I love my 24 GT Premium 10 Speed. 99% of people aren't road coursing a Stang.

[@liltoenail889]

What were your biggest likes and dislikes about the scatpack widebody? Im assuming you had a charger model, I'm asking as the dealership I work accounting for has a crazy employee discount for a challenger wb scat and I'm really interested, but curious if I want to move from my 21 Supra 3.0 base. Thank you in advance!

[@ned1182]

😅 I went the complete opposite way I had a 19 Scatpack charger and a 2020 mustang gt now I have a 2020 Supra and your correct the mustang is amazing gets a lot of hate but I love the Supra it’s something different for me.

[@Sonic_1000]

@@liltoenail889 I had a Challenger and Charger. I loved em both! The Stang is a tad quicker but the Mopars were great. I'd own another. The ZF 8 speed is easier to control manually versus the 10 speed as well.

Thank you! 🙏

[@EdMan1963]

That was a very good, fair review. I have a Dark Horse with the Tremec 6 speed and and its a great car. I don't daily drive it but easily could. The manual is just so engaging.

Thank you for calling it a heat extractor instead of a "vent" like others do

[@fieriawatyadhitio9680]

Best Mustang Ever!

[@damigamermx-us8291]

That color on that Dark Horse looks 🔥

[@Triptisim]

Gotta say I agree with your takes 100% after also having driven a few S650s including DH. The driver feedback and feel overall is pretty disappointing after owning and tracking a 6th gen ZL1 for some time now. I was considering DH or a S550 GT500 to try out mustang ownership, but I’ve realized it’s not the flavor I’m looking for. I’ve considered M2, 718, or 991.2, but I think ultimately C8Z is likely on my horizon as the market saturates some more in the coming years.

[@teslavsmustang7818]

You should test with a handling pack Dark Horse. Bigger tires, revised chassis tuning and adjustable strut top mounts, a performance rear spoiler with a Gurney flap, and a unique stability control, EPAS, and ABS tuning added. I have not put mine on a twisty road yet since I had to wait 2 months for the title to come in.

[@slocarfr]

good morning miles! isnt this the same dark horse doug demuro reviewed?

[@MilesPerHr]

That's entirely possible! It's a press car in SoCal

[@Dopeysharkofficial]

I’ve been waiting for the mustang

[@4JaayTv]

16:55 I think that they’re assuming that you would be using the paddle shifters if you wanted to hold high revs , it auto shifts because it’s detecting the front tires turning -doesn’t want it to spin out. Either way…..I think it should be holding revs more in Sport/Track mode

[@Stol3nXDrive]

The fact that I just saw a GT500 outside my house lol

[@435666]

Wondering how the A10 is compared to the manual. I owned a Boss 302, loved the shifting, but it gets annoying over time. Wondering if I would be missing out on some of the experience if I got the 10 speed. I'm not going to track the car

[@mtshark7]

Nice review Miles!😊

[@eddstarr2185]

So Miles, you get the 2024 Mustang Dark Horse out in the twisties, you're communicating with the car around every curve, and your body language is asking for the Tremec six-speed manual transmission! I saw your hand wanting to grab the shift lever, but your brain said: don't bother. Seems like every car that offers "spirited driving" gets hobbled with "daily driver" requirements that dominate the on-road experience. Looks like the typical Mustang Dark Horse will be stuck in traffic, right next to a Bronco Raptor (both with automatics).

[@MilesPerHr]

I definitely was craving the Tremec in the twisties, Edd. It's inspiring that the Mustang has so many different flavors to suit different use-cases or driving preferences, but this particular setup wasn't my cup of motor oil

[@Nick-ue5bp]

It’s 486 with the active exhaust, not the performance pack.

[@4JaayTv]

Wow that’s funny , I was just running with a 24’ GT last night 😂😂😂😂

[@harshidp6373]

u shouldve got the handling pack with the manual for the review. wouldve gotten a review of the car at full potential

[@morrisonmauro4619]

Very intelligent review

[@igotice65]

the back seats arent really meant to be sat in im pretty sure they are forced to put it there for like insurance or legal reasons

[@ryandoerr1518]

What is that whining noise at 20:01? My s550 10 speed doesn't do that.

[@T_emporal]

any chance for u doing a review of the dark horse in a manual? preferably a dark horse premium. Thanks

[@crusadetributes3662]

well and i could be wrong but i think the reason you cant have sports dampers in normal and vise versa is because it puts to much strain on the vehicle and or it just in general might break something but i could be wrong

[@anonymous3738]

The Mach-4 will be the 4-door variant and while it would be controversial, it would be the family-friendly version. Your struggle of sitting in the rear seats alerted me of this. Also, it would fill the void for the previous Dodge Charger which was an incredibly popular sedan so it needs to enter production despite all the controversy. Plus, just because the Mustang has a 4-door variant doesn’t mean buyers can’t choose the 2-door variant.

[@carguywyatt9456]

Could you test drive a automatic Mx-5 I wonder if they are just as fun and might make a good video

[@MilesPerHr]

I'll look into it!

[@maxproracing-j4f]

Hey miles is it just me or is that the same car that forrest use in his video and also you said the auto version of the dark horse doesnt have a launch control and only the manual one has it but i watch forrest's video and he said that it has launch control in it

[@MilesPerHr]

It might be the same car, but a look into the forums and time spent poking around the menus does confirm no launch control. Forrest may have done brake boosting, as I did, but only the MT has LC

[@maxproracing-j4f]

@@MilesPerHr ohh i see but still that doesn't make any sense why did forrest lie about the mustang dark horse having launch control in automatic trasmision but infact it doesn't have it

Just for reference, the BMW M440i Gran Coupe to the left at 10:25 (EDIT: It's actually a 430i GC) is the same price as the Mustang GT Dark Horse. Considering how much more luxury that BMW has, while riding better and being just as fast... Ford has lost it with the Dark Horse, IMO.

Dark horse or A90 Supra ?

Nice Car

[@par__m3]

I've been a Mustang fanboy since I was a little kid. I've owned a bunch, with my last being a GT350. I was excited for the DH but when I checked one out in person I was super disappointed with the interior. Giant bezels, really cheap plastic (the fake CF is god awful), and yeah that steering wheel kind of sucks. If they had the previous gen style wheel and a real carbon fiber trim option like I had in my GT350 it would be a lot better. Great looking and fun car to drive, though.

[@burgerbandit3646]

Well that's an interesting take. I actually really like the interior and other people love it as well. I do know that you can add carbon pieces to the interior in aftermarket though.

[@par__m3]

@@burgerbandit3646 Yeah, no doubt a lot of people like it. It certainly feels much more modern and driver focused. I just can't get over the fake plastic CF trim, seams in the steering wheel, etc. If there are direct replacement real CF trim parts (not stick-on) then that would be a welcome improvement.

Firsttttt finally 😂🎉

S650 is a downgrade from the S550, Ford targeted an audience that cannot afford the car and took away tuning. Also, my 2020 Cali Special has the “My Mode” and it doesn’t have that issue, I can change everything besides the magnaride I don’t have.

[@FXPhysics]

The fact that they locked the ECU will be a major deal breaker for a Mustang community that is well known for being mod happy for sure. Generally speaking, this industry-wide trend of locking features and throttling mechanical capabilities from the factory marks an ominous slide towards over-the-air censorable cars.
