There is no choice. Tremec 6 speed all the way. I wanted the auto for the Bronco, but a car like this should be a manual, full send.

The 10 speed has its place but a 6 spd with 500 hp and a 3.73 gear is next level experience.

I was fortunate enough to put order in with dealer at MSRP. I loaded it up with every option except the carbon fiber rims and tires, could not justify almost 9,000 for those.

Going to sell my 2022 Black Diamond to make room, still will have a 2022 and 2023 OB in the stable so I consider myself very lucky.

Dealer still has not been able to tell me when ordering will open up officially and what is expected delivery.

has anyone been contacted about selling their Dark Horse order? I have had two wholesalers contact me and offer to pay 20,000.00 over sticker. I told them thanks but no thanks.

I am disappointed the Dark Horse handling package is not available, but will do most of that package on my own.

Dark Horse has the Tremec, one of the reasons I wanted it over the regular GT.

nice that mt82 is awful. i had a 2013 boss 302 I would say it was the best car i've ever owned but that awful transmission was a travesty in that car.

I will probably ditch my redeye for a dark horse in a few years.

Grats on the DarkHorse. Looks to be a nice progression for the Stangs. I though will be holding on to my 500 for a while. Will interesting to see what Ford does for the Cobra line in the future.

OP no pics of your dark horse?
Believe it or not, nothing to report. While they are delivering Dark Horse Mustangs, they aren't building any with the handling pack, and that's a requirement for me. Apparently the parts are impossible to get. My dealer has offered me others with current build slots, but I told him I want the handling pack, no compromise. So here I am with an order that is 16 months old and no car. Wow that sounds familiar!

Meanwhile I bought an old Corvette to keep me busy.

Oh man! I’m sorry to hear that I had no idea! I had seen them all over YouTube and figured the production was fine. It sucks they have a parts shortages STILL. Keep holding out though it’s better to get it how you want it.

what color did you go with?

I eventually want to get back in the Mustang game. Loved my 5.0 and miss it all the time

It's a Dark Horse, it has to be black! I haven't see too many black DHs in the wild, most seem to be gray or white. Once in a while one of the very early handling pack cars comes on the market and they are still trading at a premium, while the regular ones are at or below MSRP. So I wait.

Meanwhile this old C4 is a lot of fun.

Personal opinion, but on a track car get the fastest option (almost always auto nowadays) on a slow car like the Bronco MT works great.

LOL we are exactly the opposite. Sports cars are more enjoyable with a manual transmission. It won't be a track car, but I could certainly get it on track once or twice. But woking the gears, heel-toe, is just more fun. Now on an offroad vehicle, auto all the way. No clutch to worry about, let the transmission do its thing while I focus on the thousand-foot dropoff, or that boulder I'm about to hit.
