Hi, firstly thanks for your service. I love driving and owning my Mach 1, puts a smile on my face every time I go out in it. It's so interesting to see people's reactions to the new Dark Horse. I applaud Ford for keeping up the V8 engine cars where other manufacturers have stopped production. I Hope Ford will make some changes to the interior of the car and maybe bring back the Boss. I'm in the same position as you as I'm not a young guy but I have a few American cars on my bucket list I would really like to own and enjoy driving. Thanks for watching my video 👍🏼

I will keep my 2022 Dark Matter Gray Metallic with the handling pack 6 speed for many years to come. I also have the 2024 GT Convertible Carbonized Gray Metallic 10 speed auto. I have seen the dark horse in person and it is a beautiful machine but it is not for me- simply put- I am satisfied with my 2 stangs. I plan to enjoy my convertible for at least another three years. My first car was a 1965 convertible corvette 327 engine with a blue hard top and a white soft top that I had for 21 years (sold and bought a house in Orlando FL). I am 67 yrs old former US Navy Submariner retired so I don't have time to procrastinate. The Mach 1 is special!!!

The Mach 1 is perfect. I have the HPP Mach 1 and no way Ill trade it in

Olá. Tudo bem? Respondendo a sua pergunta eu particulamente prefiro o MACH 1 do que o DARK HORSE.

Quite happy with my 2022 Mach 1 with the Handling Package and 6 speed, had it out at Canadian Tire Motor Sport Track (Mosport) in Ontario, great fun for a guy at 67 years young.

After driving both and selling Fords for a long time, I went with the Dark Horse. People aren't big fans of the S650, but seeing it in person, driving it and truly experiencing it, I fell in love and had to get one. So I just took delivery of one with the Handling pack. Now, if I had the Mach 1, I don't believe I would get rid of it for the Dark Horse. At least until the day you can tune the new engines, then I think the new 5.0 would really show its colors

I will keep the EcoBoost Mustang.

Since they don't offer the Handling Package in Europe, could you please tell us how you managed to upgrade your Mach 1 to the handling package ? Did you import all the needed parts one by one from USA, or what needs to be done ? They are doing the same thing for the S650 platform, there is no handling package available for EU version of the mustang... I personally would like to get it simply for the bigger wheels and the gurney flap on the spoiler, but they simply aren't available for Europe... i am forced to receive a 255/40 R19 and 275/40 R19 wheels, compared to 305 and 315 from the handling pack.... such a pity!!!

I’m keeping my Mach 1. I sat in a new S650 premium and with the giant screen it feels like a video game as the screen occupies so much of the dash.

I'm getting the Ford Mustang EcoBoost on 2026 for a FREE Test Drive!! < D

A guy can only dream of one of these cars. For now I’ll be staying w my 03 Mach 1.

Hi! I’m literally looking for a Mach 1 just like yours. I live in the area of Girona. By any chance, when (even if in a year or so) you decide to sell your Mach 1 I’d be interested in purchasing it. Not sure how to get in contact with you!?

I just installed headers and got an e85 on my mach 1. You should do that. It REALLY woke the car up. Increased 60 to 130 time by 1.5 seconds

Keep the Mach 1 S550 you have. Its custom tuneable and has a nice dash

It really depends on whether you prefer the looks of the DH. Performance will likely be better with your Mach 1 since you've upgraded to HP. Its really a subjective decision. I prefer the Mach 1 ... exterior, interior and value.

I agree if you have a Mach1 don't upgrade to a darkhorse but in my case as I do not have a Mustang yet, I'm thinking about buying the Darkhorse. I vist Garum Motor in Malaga and they had a darkhorse deliverd in september but they also told me that they could order one from Ford Germany in the color I would like with a maximum waiting time of 3 months. They also gave me an price for the darkhorse in grabber bleu 75.007€ no recaro seats but with all the taxes included. I have the estimate if you want I can always send you a copy. As for discount they offered 4 years warranty en 4 year of service free

lovin' your car 👍

I sold my Shelby GT350 wasn't using at the time but I'm looking to buy another mustang I'm looking at the Mach 1 because the price has gone down but will be a used one and my shelby i bought used and didn't like much that's why now im more inclined to buy a 650 new i just haven't decided if I'll go for the Dark Horse or get a premium GT and build my own The more you look the 650 the more you will like it even the interior you have to see in person and also upgrades will come in the future don't worry ideal you be to keep the mach 1 and get a 650 maybe just the GT

Yes

Mach1 its the best

If you're happy with the Mach 1 I'd keep it. I don't know anything about the darkhourse but even if it's a little better than the Mach 1 you can't utilize that much power on city streets.

No please don't. I have the same as yours with bigger AP Performance GT500 with track package style rear spoiler.

Mach 1 keep it

S550 look better so far than de S650... and it's same chasis, just some updates features.

If I owned a Mach 1 I would not trade for a Dark Horse. I have a 2017 GT that I just bought. I would like to add as many Mach 1 features as possible.

If you can afford have both 😃😍

Keep your Mach 1. Dark Horse is up 20HP, but up 200lbs in weight

It’s not worth the money difference to trade in or even sell outright to get the Dark Horse 🐎

Keep the Mach 1, interior is way better than the Dark Horse and I think it looks better, rear end of the 2024 is ugly...

Nope. I’d definitely keep the Mach 1. I’ve got a 21 Mach 1 and wouldn’t trade it for a Dark Horse.

The mach 1 looks so much better than the darkhorse.

If you do you have to change your name to ICE DARKHORSE. What ya think?

Absolutely not. I love my Mach 1. Especially the interior. It’s more Mustang to me. I like the retro, old school look to it. It’s just more my taste though. And taste is relative I suppose. I think the Mach 1 is perfect.

When you can’t tune any of the 2024 cars, hell no

No Way … Mach 1 has Pedigree … Dark Horse don’t have shit even the name is balls.

Absolutely not. I wouldn’t trade in my GT for a dark horse. Every control is on the touch screen and the ugly big button. It’s also not worth the additional $ for the minimal horsepower increase. Buy a slightly used Shelby instead.

It’s down-tuned for Europe? How lame!

Looks like the darkhorse learned from the Elantra N and got the great screen. Hopefully it has all the tech and gauges to track performance, too. I'm thinking about buying a darkhorse and since I'm in the US it seems like the right thing to do.

don't do it you will regret it I'm sure I defiantly wouldn't

i did the research as well and the Dark Horse is definitely a better car, especially with all the upgrades in it ( you can research them as i will not list them. We can't get the track package but you can get the the Appearance package which is better than the standard Dark Horse. i came extremely close to buying a Mach1 exactly like yours but opted for the Dark Horse in the appearance package. Both great cars 100% but if you are going to compare engines and upgrades, the Dark Horse is better. And yes, you will be able to tune them down the track, as info came from inside information. Either way, enjoy your car, it's a beauty.

Hi ICE. A M1 Will always be special. The detuned S650 is an ugly pointless video game. 'Nough Said.....

Keep the Mach 1 😊😊

God NO! Keep the Mach 1. You can get her up to 500HP very inexpensively. I went ahead and On3 Twin Turbo’d mine. Went from 500hp to 1105HP. But originally, with minimal upgrades to get to 500hp, it’s a very special car. Keep the Mach Sir!

I’ll keep the Mach 1 and maybe wait until 2025 or even 2026

Keep the mach 1
