Interesting, I hadnât seen that before, but I agree with your earlier post. I do believe the Darkhorse will be a capable car on track, and very close to the GT350. I do not think itâll be cheaper.
Name calling? Sarcasm? Emotional?
So basically theyâre going to give traditional partners like Roush, Saleen and Shelby access and everyone else is locked out. Unless I missed something, I donât think anyone has been able to crack the C8 yet and itâs approaching 3 years now so good luck to guys like Lund, PBD, etc.
I think there is a chance values will go up. Although it's hard to separate any increase into two factors, i.e. no more GT350's, and the new design. Not sure why it is but I regularly get offered far more that the stated $66K for my 2019 GT350 Kona Blue/White strip car.
Yes but I think we are seeing the end to that. Unless your Roush or Shelby, it is probably not going to happen. We are at the end of a very long era, for me, sadly
New cars will come and go and damn, I HOPE they improve the performance on them, and the track capabilities surpass the GT350 by a lot. Just like all notable drivers cars of the past, new, faster cars take nothing away from a car with styling, performance, dynamics and uniqueness of the GT350 and GT350R.
Funny all your posts are in this thread. You know what else the "DH" gets you - a stupid name that also shares an acronym with Dick Head. You can't unsee this:
Of course not. As @stanglife correctly pointed out above your post, the new "ultimate" Mustang will not launch at the same time as the new generation. Ford's got to milk this generation for all it's worth so you start with the 3 "base" versions and then over the following 7 years or so you throw in 1 or 2 new "ultimates" as well as a mid cycle refresh to maximize interest/demand. So I think a proper Shelby replacement is yet yo come and it may as well be a Shelby or potentially something else.New cars will come and go and damn, I HOPE they improve the performance on them, and the track capabilities surpass the GT350 by a lot.

I was looking forward to another ultimate Mustang but simply, this is not it. If someone already has a GT350 or a GT350R...or was shopping for one as the great driver cars that they are - they are not going be swayed by the "Dark Horse".

@administrator - does this guys IP match any already known GT350 forum trolls? I bet yes, lol.
The car itself is just fine actually. I think it is neat that Ford is still willing to make a track focused NA V8 2+2 with a manual transmission. As enthusiasts we should all celebrate that and it will be dearly missed in the not so distant future. The name though is an absolutely hilarious and childish trope; it is the equivalent of naming the car "The Lone Wolf". Ooooooo scary and badass. It is a name that will appeal to 13 year old boys, emo kids, and the 35 year old man-child that still wears his Affliction T-shirt while frequenting his local strip bar because he is convinced that Candy really likes him.
I understand that they were trying to stay with the equine theme, but they could also have drawn on some aviation heritage instead. If they really wanted to stick with the dark and emo messaging, they could have called it the Nighthawk or the Blackbird, or maybe even the Phantom. At some point I am going to see a Dark Horse in the paddock and I'm going to go up to the emo Dwayne Johnson owner and I'm going to say "Hey that's a sweet Dark Horse man"....so fucking cringey
