I actually struggle seeing the value of a Dark Horse, they don't really have much of a performance advantage over a premium GT. Carbon fiber wheels and some cosmetic upgrades don't make the ask worth it to me.
The Dark Horse SC has the GT500 drivetrain. You’re thinking of the base Dark Horse, which is pretty much a Mach 1 refresh

I don't like the dark horse but it a little more than wheels over a gt.

Yes i agree, but is it 20k -25k more, i guess that is subjective, many will spend thousands more to get a DH. I personally don't see the value. My local dealer still has a new 2025 DH in the show room, the GT's sell, the eco boosts sell , but even after price reductions the DH continues to collect dust. I looked at it, was mildly interested but won't pay the extra ask, and will stick with my GT.

So it's a convertible GT with a SC bolted on. Got it.

Um, no.

Dark Horse SC is more or less the successor to the GT500 and has the GT500 drivetrain. This is a convertible version of that.

I had the chance to purchase a DH with the carbon fiber bits. It's a great car but I just don't like the screens , nose, and tail. I think that's the reason they don't sell. There's lots of us with the same opinion. The DHSC is very capable because it's a gt500 with new skin. Hopefully ford does a little refining to the looks. Eventually I'll throw on a twin turbo setup on my mach and I'll be plenty happy. Until then I'll just live vicariously threw the guys that have made the plunge. :)
