Is the 2024 Ford Mustang GT Performance Pack BETTER to BUY than a Dark Horse?

The Mustang GT has a special package that can be optioned from Ford. The Performance Pack comes with tons of go fast goodies at a great value. On the outside you will notice special 19in wheels, unique trunk lid spoiler and Brembo Brakes. Under the hood is a Coyote 5.0L V8 that churns out 486HP.

It was the deal breaker for me After 4 Gt's 3 with the performance pack, wasn't happening with the 99 model I had. I just couldn't get past the dash. Everything else was good I had a 2015 EcoBoost P/P. which was same color combo, and interior. It was different, but it grew on me, to where I would have happy to find another one. I bought a 24 Camaro SS with NPP exhaust, Mag ride, Recaros, Summit white with black leather interior. Only downer was the wheels. Ugly but the ride and sound are just as nice. Also didn't go 6 speed. Hard to find at this point with no production. But the auto works great. Hey, it was almost $9,000 cheaper. New wheels down the road won't be a big deal. If I could make up my mind on a set that fit the car without weird back spacing, and no concentric rings. May go 1LE.

Another great review, thanks Joe! I love everything about the S650, but the dash does bother me. I really wish they'd integrated the screens in to the dash, kept physical buttons for the HVAC and stereo and kept the dual brow. If there's to be an S650 facelift, I really hope they address that, but I fear we'll be stuck with that dash for the lifetime of S650. However, I am VERY grateful that we still have a Mustang to buy for another generation.

@@LeadfootLou The lower grill insert has an open functional side on the performance pack S650 Mustangs GT to funnel air to the front brakes. The other half is simply part of the lower grill. It's nearly impossible to tell that it's functional and the video description was a little misleading. The performance pack Mustangs are open to help cool the brakes. If you put the S650 performance pack on a lift and shine a flashlight through the brake cooler tunnel. You'll see the grill is open and functional to the front brakes. I recommend taking an actual look and test drive of a Track pack S650 Mustang GT. It's a better experience seeing the new S650 Mustang in person than on a video
