I just LOVE how GT350 owners get triggered by anything comparable to their venerable GT350s outperforms their Mustangs. 😂
The GT350 is not a Ferrari. The GT350 is not a Corvette. The GT350 is not a McClaren. It is a Mustang with an imbalanced Voodoo engine that slowly rattles itself to death...
Because people couldn't get off the GT350 train. And that has changed.
The Dark Horse is a complete flop right out of the gate. It's expensive, less attractive than the S550 and performs worse than the Mach 1 and GT350.
The difference is that the Mach 1 getting heavier compared to the GT350R is excusable. The M1 gained more tech, updated components (ie GT500 rear-sub frame, toe-links) and still outperforms the GT350R at the track by a respectable margin.
Th Dark Horse on the other hand gained 200 lbs of...
Supposedly, yes. I'm wondering if the 200 lbs difference is the cause of this heating issue. That's a big difference everything else being equal.
These guys are the first ones to push the Dark Horse to the limits at a track.
So an automatic Dark Horse beat the 6-speed manual Mach 1? How is this a fair comparison?
The key takeaways are that the Dark Horse is 200 lbs heavier, and the overall performance was subpar compared to the Mach 1 with the heating issues on the Dark Horse. Oh and inferior cornering grip. And...
I get it, but between an S550 or Supra, I'll take the S550 by far.
In 2024, I'm willing to pay a little extra for a MKV Supra, instead of wasting a chunk of money on an S650.
Better looks, better performance, and better value for money compared to the S650. Ford really, really dropped the ball...
Stellantis will bring back the ICE Mopars without the V8, which is part of the EPA/CARB era. It is what it is. I will spend my own money on that, instead of any S650 Mustang.
And based on the leaks, it's already a better looking car by far.
I much rather get a Supra, than the S650 turd. It's a sad excuse of a Mustang.
It's sad the Camaro had to go away, because of GM's pathetic marketing. But at least Stellantis managed to bring back the Mopars.
German car manufacturers are scammers. I'm not surprised they recommended this to their owners.
It is the same company that wanted to charge a subscription for heated seats.
The best Mustang ever made to YOU.
The best all-around Mustang, objectively is the S55 Mach 1 HP. The most bad ass Mustang ever is the S550 GT500. The best collector's Mustang is the S550 GT350R.
GT350 or MKV Supra 3.0 MT?
The GT350 was a nice little experiment by Ford. An FPC engine with CPC characteristics. It also served as great platform to develop for the S550s as a whole.
That said, the Supra is also a nice little experiment by Toyota. A Toyota shell with a BMW engine. And it is...
It seems like most reviews just rave about the Acura Integra Type S. It must be a special car, but still a FWD car. I would definitively pick the M2. And we know how BMW underrates the power of their performance vehicles. I like the look too.
And then there's the Dark Horse. Hard pass.
