Pricing for 2024 Mustang Dark Horse is out. Here it is vs Mach 1:


Equipment Group/Option | 2024 Ford Mustang Dark Horse | 2023 Ford Mustang Mach 1 | +/–

Base price ...................... $57,970 ................................. $56,570 ......................... +$1400

700A ............................ $2,595 ................................... $2,095 ............................ +$500

Appearance Package ....... $1,250 ................................... $1,250 ............................ $0

Handling Package ........... $4,500 ................................... $4,500 ............................ $0

Recaro Seats .................. $1,650 ................................... $1,650 ............................ $0

10-speed automatic ........ $1,595 ................................... $1,595 ............................ $0

Carbon Fiber Wheels ...... $8,495 ................................... -------- ....................... ----





I suppose a $12,995 ask for the carbon fiber wheels and handling package is less than the GT500's $18,500 CFTP option and matches the 2020 GT350's R package. Then adding in another $1650 for Recaros... it's a big ask.



I cant help but think a combination of Ford knowing that no matter how they price it, it'll sell; added to the knowledge that sooner than later Mustang will be the only player left on the field. The later is quite predatory, but that's business, I suppose.



To the question of performance, with Mach 1 already giving GT350-ish performance, when equipped properly anyway, Dark Horse had at least be putting up GT350R numbers, when similarly equipped thereto.



I really hope that, the post 6th gen Camaro, Mustang doesn't fall into the same performance stagnation that happened in the early S197 ('05-'10) era.

Don’t forget the $1400 destination that Ford hides from its base pricing by waiting until the summary page during a build to add it in. That makes this $71k without the CF wheels. More than the msrp on my ZL1. Crazy.
