So, I got to drive a Dark Horse today

[Q6543]

Maybe tremec couldn’t produce enough… perhaps through the Camaro elimination now they will have more capacity on a future product.

just don’t cry when a GT is 5k more for bare bones.. people already have a tough time at the current price structure.

I'm betting the cost of the TREMAC would have simply pushed the price of the GT higher, and Ford didn't want to price out those who either didn't know the difference or didn't care.

Honestly, the number of people who chose to NOT buy a GT because of the MT82 instead of the TREMEC was/is probably a very small number compared to those who bought a GT with the MT82 at the lower price point.

Honestly if I were to buy a GT instead of a Dark Horse I’d probably go A10… whipple…bigs and littles…some weight reduction… Dark Horse I’d go more towards a handling set up and would get the manual…

I don’t think I would go manual in a GT

But that’s just me lol

I think only reason to buy a DH is to get the Tremec which should be stock on all 5.0’s as also the additional coolers for trans and diff as uf you go A10 it will still overheat on trackdays…But 10 grand for tremec and a few oil coolers and forged rods is rich considering Chevy got 7 grand for the 1LE package that included also Recaros and electronic rear diff !
