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!!!

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.

Me too lol

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!!!

Hi, it would be good to do that but as I live in Spain E85 is not going to be easy to get, I have not seen it offered here to be honest. Also the emissions laws are strict and I don't want an issue with the Ford guarantee so I can't fit hedders. I wish Ford would offer an official tune package for the M1 with ECU and other mods to boost the HP over 500. Thanks for watching 👍🏼

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 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.
