Pricing on the Dark Horse should come down to be about the same as the Mach E. $75k for a Mustang is wild. That's a Corvette price.

I hate to say it, but Reece (sp?) isn't a quick driver. He is notably slower than the other drivers, and this is constant across their videos. I like his commentary, and he seems like a good guy, but when it comes to consistency and testing, you can't have one driver 0.5-1sec faster than the other. Whichever car gets him twice in the switch-up has a significant disadvantage toward getting best out of three races.

Mach-E: Wins quarter mile by half a second and 0-60 by almost a full second Edmunds: “It’s not really sporty enough.” // “I wish Ford had gone a little more hardcore”

The Dark Horse has MONSTER brakes! It can brake so much later and still be more under control

How about taking the talent out of the equation and looking at the difference between the 2 times of each driver? A faster driver is faster in both cars. I’d love to see that data.

As a mustang owner of many years and models, start the race in drag mode, then click to track, the drag mode is brutal with the automatic, I guarantee you'll pick up time, even on an unprepped surface..

I have a mach e gt. In all of these videos they are not using the dynamic braking that is critical to this car. They are taking the turns super slow, this car can handle a drift if it wants.

Weighing the cars and giving the power to weight ratio is top tier stuff.
