M2 if anything. The M4 is in a completely different league now, performance and price wise. I would know, the European Dark Horse has M2 power but less than M240i output

Thank you, John Hennessy and Jeremy Clarkson 1.
Your kind comments are greatly appreciated by yours truly!
Indeed it is a big pity that the Handling Pack is unavailable.
Still it is a privilege to see a Mustang on Dublin roads.
And I can do is stop and stare at one of these beauties.

Safe driving from Flt158

Hello, one and all.

Autocar recently fully road tested the Ford Mustang Dark Horse (20 November 2024). I greatly enjoyed reading it.
After all, who could resist seeing this wonderful rear wheel drive machine in this very popular magazine?
It's a V8 and 5038cc.
The gearbox has 10 speeds.
The torque is 398lb ft.
The redline is 7430 rpm.
The car's weight is 1853 kg.
The drag coefficient is 0.32.
The car's bhp is 453.
On YouTube the engine sounds magnificent.

Here are the acceleration figures in miles per hour which are rather good without anything truly special.

0-30: 2.1.
0-40: 2.8.
0-50: 3.6.
0-60: 4.5.
0-70: 5.6.
0-80: 6.7.
0-90: 8.2.
0-100: 9.7.
0-110: 11.6.
0-120: 13.9.
0-130: 16.9.
0-140: 20.5.
0-150: 25.2.

Top speed: 155 mph (limited).
24.4 mpg.

Autocar place the Mustang Dark Horse in 5th place - behind the now obsolete Audi RS5 Coupe, the Mercedes-AMG CLE 53, the BMW M2 and the number 1 car in this class the Porsche 911 Carrera.
They give the Mustang 3.5 stars.
The Porsche 4.5 stars.
The European car does not come with a Handling Pack. Autocar says that this is a real shame.

Safe driving from Flt158.

By the way, the car is limited to 250 kph. I test drove one myself, it didn't let me go further even if I wanted to 😅

Euro-spec (and especially Indian-spec) 5.0s are actually quite comparable to 5.7 Challengers.
