2024 Dark Horse Mustang Break in at 1000 miles, will it add more horsepower? We also got to run with a Mustang Mach 1 in this video, which is what people are comparing the Dark Horse to! We got some GTA POV style driving in this video as well.

Good video. I just moved from a modified 2021 GT to a 2024 GT premium with active exhaust. The one thing I noticed about most reviews is there seems to be a lot of "the new mustang is a lot like the old one....ect" it may look similar but this car is different. Can't wait to get to the first thousand miles. I like your video...normal person who has an everyday driver, that is giving a seat-of-the-pants honest opinion. More should use this format to talk about this new platform of Mustang! I am getting tired of the "spec sheet" reviews and body panel differences reviews....lol! This motor has such a refined feel out the box....it is going to be a beast when these things can get tuned.

@Freeway_Media 9 ай бұрын

Exactly! I think people expect drastic changes any time a new car comes out which just isn’t a thing nowadays (not very often at least) this s650 will for sure be a beast once tuning becomes available

I felt the same exact way with my automatic 2024 GT Premium (fully-loaded). I remember trying some downshifts around 500 miles and it felt a little off so I stopped doing it. Now that I'm at 1200 miles the thing is a monster! Downshifts are super smooth and it just wants to run through the rpm's. I can't imagine how good it feels with the dark horse manual. I know they mention in the owner's manual that the vehicle may exhibit unusual characteristics during the break-in period.

Had a 22 PP1, then thought about getting a 24 DH but I really thought about it and I just decided to get a 23 Mach 1. It’s a beautiful car but I just wasn’t too much into the interior or dashboard. Took away the feeling of a mustang. I wish the 24 you can choose the option for the digital dash. But too me Mach 1 and DH are like in the same category. But great car. FORD on top

There is no switch that delivers more power after 1000 miles. It’s all a placebo effect. The C8 Stingray actually had torque limiters until break in. The Mustang does not.

Where exactly have you seen anything about a break-in mileage? Where does it say there's more power after break in ? Or there's any difference in the instrument cluster gauges ? where is this fictitious mileage and those differences published ?.... for example the Corvette SPECIFICALLY mentions differences in the gauge and instrument cluster and performance levels at a certain mileage.... you can literally watch the tachometer Redline go higher up in the instrument cluster .. Ford doesn't do that though...

@sunburn8640 9 ай бұрын

Unfortunately, that’s the new brave world we live in youngn. In case you haven’t noticed, all car prices have skyrockets. With the Dark Horse, is it pricey? Yes but so is everything else. More importantly, tell me where else can you purchase a 500 HP Naturally aspirated RWD V8 with a manual and a full manufacturer’s warranty. I’d love to hear your response. At this point with the Camaro and Dodge brothers bailing, Mustang is the only game, not just in town, but in the world with the variables I listed above. With that, FORD owns the market and it comes down to supply and demand. Ford set the MSRP starting at $60k which is right in line with the 23’ Mach 1. This car is priced accurately in todays climate. Trust me, it pisses me off too but ain’t a damn thing you or I can do about it. So I’m gonna appreciate the car and FORD for having the balls to do what Dodge and Chevy wouldn’t… zMad respect to FORD

Good non scientific comparison. But the revs for the after 1000 Mi mark were down by a lot and you can hear that. The motor just makes more power up there. There may be a bit of timing that Ford enters back in after breakin. Glad you're liking it. Compared to your WRX the DH feels stronger? Technically the DH is less power tho.

@Freeway_Media 6 ай бұрын

The DH is for sure more powerful, the WRX was for sure a missile but just barely any torque. I’d say 1/4 mile would be a close race but DH would take the W (based on races I’ve had with modded s550s that were close) we are also comparing 375AWHP (~450 crank) to 500 crank (I believe 440-460RWHP based on dyno tests I’ve seen?) so very close in specifics. Just completely different machines
