In the realm of high-performance Mustangs, the Dark Horse stands tall as the most formidable non-Shelby creation to date. A true powerhouse, this beast boasts a naturally aspirated 5.0L V8 engine that commands attention, delivering an impressive 500 horsepower and 418 lb-ft of torque.
But the Dark Horse isn’t just about sheer power; it’s a celebration of the driving experience, emphasizing a connection between man and machine. At the heart of this connection is the Tremec 6-speed manual transmission, a direct inheritance from the iconic Shelby GT350.
While a 10-speed automatic option is on the table, the true aficionado recognizes that the manual is where the magic unfolds. Impeccable linkage, short throws, and the option for a 3D printed titanium shift knob elevate the driving dynamics to the next level.
Checkout this video from Vehicle Virgins as he takes a 2024 Ford Mustang Dark Horse with a 6-speed manual transmission and see if it really is a compelling performance bargain for all Mustang enthusiasts out there!
