23 Mach 1 vs. 24 Dark Horse

Dan2023 · Jun 20, 2024

Bumped into little brother at the dealer for service,

wow what a beast, beautiful colour, lines and wheel setup is gorgeous, side by side makes my Mach 1 look not so intimidating anymore,
I noticed the dark horse headlights come with the nice light tint on them so of course I decided to go out and get it done myself, the last pic are the headlights with the light tint,,

It's just my opinion but I think your Mach 1 looks way better and way meaner than that DH.

Sorry, I’ll take your car every day and twice on Sunday. Turn the park lights on and we’ll see a big difference there. You’re sitting next to a Camaro/Civic. Just my two cents. Your car especially since they are the same color blows it away in looks to me.

Yeah. You win.

Window sticker on the DH was $91,000 cad, I almost s#%t myself,

The MACH 1 has character and a past history. Although the Dark Horse is probably a great performer, I would take the MACH 1 in a minute over the Dark Horse. All the S650's I see just don't have the wow factor. They are plain and look generic. I see S650's sitting on lots all over western PA that were built last September and October. Is it me or did Ford make a few design errors?

Also from the side-by-side ithe DH looks like it needs to go on a diet. :giggle:

The Mach 1 but I may be biased, lol.

Hmmm…, lighter, faster, tunable, and way better looking for $30k less.
Mach 1 has no competition here.

I think they both look good. Someone at work has one and I've seen it a few times, definitely a nice looking car. I doubt I would do an even trade for a DH if I had the option. I'm definitely not paying the price of a DH.

The Dork Horse is so intimidating because it wastes so much money.

Strictly on performance, DH all day. Strictly based on exterior looks, DH again. Factor in price? M1.

Mach 1 by a mile (ok, I'm biased). Tint on the lights looks good. What did you use?

Ford has to get back the money they are losing on EV's

Performance?
It isn’t faster than a Mach 1
20 more hp but 200lbs heavier.
Put the same tires on each and Mach will be faster
