2024 Ford Mustang Dark Horse (Dark Horse)
About This Build
The Dark Horse 5.0 Coyote with the Tremec TR-3160 is already a beast from the factory. Keeping it naturally aspirated with bolt-ons lets the 7500rpm redline sing. Kooks long tubes and an X-pipe opened up the exhaust note to pure American V8 glory. JLT intake feeds it cold air and the Lund tune ties it all together. Whiteline sway bars and BMR lowering springs tightened the chassis. Makes 550whp on the dyno - impressive for NA.
