Why wouldn't they test the SS 1LE vs the Darkhorse instead of a base level LT1? I never understood these sorts of tests where they clearly want a specific car to win. Albeit not buy much lol.

Ford simply recreated the SS 1LE and called it the ‘Dark Horse’.. albeit, 7 years later..

That 1:10 was a great time though. It took Ford long enough to catch up, lol.

They drag raced a Dark Horse that cost almost twice as much as the LT1 and it was only marginally better in a drag race. The Dark Horse even had a huge tire advantage as well as a rear seat delete.
I want to see it go head to head against an equally optioned ZL1 1LE on their track with the same tires. The Dark Horse is great, don't get me wrong, but Ford saying its a competitor to the 1LE that starts 10k cheaper, and not even including the 5k handling package the Dark Horse needs, that is absurd. That isn't a 1LE competitor if you could buy a 1LE AND a whole other car with the same money of a Dark Horse.

And people said I was crazy when I said the Gen 7 Camaro was developed by Ford.

A stock lt1 with square tires would only be faster from a roll…

I think they have another video with 2024 GT vs SS 1le and Mustang still won
The difference wasn't that big considering SS is 7 years old now and Mustang is "new" Either way team Camaro wins for me lol |

And now this drag race with a bare bones LT1 half the price of the dark horse that just barley lost, when an equal priced ZL1 would have smoked it. They even said the dark horse wasn't as fun as the 1LE around the track, which is still way cheaper.

I now think the dark horses price is justified. It was quite a bit faster than the SS 1le with cup 2 tires they tested a few years ago. I really wish the Mach 1 they tested was bone stock (no rear seat delete and no aftermarket spoiler) but man it was VERY close to the 1le’s time with cup 2 tires. Remember the 2 Fords that beat the SS 1le come with stickier tires from the factory and their front tire sizes start with a 3! I think if Chevy had given the 1le a front tire that started with a 3 it would be faster than the Mach1 but it still wouldn’t have caught the dark horse. That dark horse was super quick. I will say I don’t know if the trofeo’s are stickier than the cup 2’s. The dark horse comes with some decent arrow which I think contributed to its fast lap time.

Again, great car, I just don't think the price tag is justified for any of the Mustang models currently.

Mine is a 17' Super Sport manual, I am waiting for the 2025 Camaro when they up the HP to 505.
