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.
  • Congratulations on your Dark Horse! Love your attitude as well and I agree that it’s super nice to see older crowd enjoying modern muscle. I’m in NC and see a lot just cruising enjoying their Mustangs.

    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.

    Never thought it could actually be a real thing but I honestly noticed a change in how this car shifted under WOT. Not so much more power, but more available power depending on what gear I'm in. It's definitely different now at 1900 miles than it was new.

    I have a cool-aid smile and goosebumps so big right now. Bro, I love this new platform of the Mustang. Love the video.

    Im an old guy. Got a 2003 mach 1 (dog slow). Had a 2016 gt350 (fast as hell). Sold it to buy a boat. Bought the darkhorse. Its a simple reason why i like it better than gt350. I can drive it without scraping the front spoiler. The shelby was just too low to the ground. Oh, i woulda run with you. Lol

    I definitely like that color. I’m picking up my grabber blue dark horse Monday

    I'm still only at 600 miles in mine, but I can't wait until I can have fun without worrying as much

    My DR 10speed only goes to 7000 at 400miles, I was going to shift at 7200 but limiter kicked in at 7k.

    We have identical cars haha, not the color I wanted but happy i got one and honestly I think it may be one of best looking colors on this car. Everything just flows perfect. I swear the calipers are more purple than black tho lol . Do a X-Pipe, you wont regret it! Way more pops crackles almost like a crackle tune from the factory😂
  • @crool88
    I'm curious, what gave you the idea that the vehicle is aware of the mileage and holding back power until 1,000 miles?
  • @10speedM1
    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
