Ford Killed the Shelby GT500... and Replaced It With THIS

Описание: Ford just ended 60 years of Shelby GT500 heritage. The 2026 Mustang Dark Horse SC is the official successor - no Shelby badge, no snake, no GT500 name. At first, this seems like a betrayal. But the more I dug into it, the more it started to make sense. And now? I think this might actually be brilliant.

The Dark Horse SC packs GTD technology into a $100K package. Same supercharged 5.2L Predator V8 from the GTD, carbon-ceramic brakes, 620 lbs of downforce with the Track Pack, and GT3-derived traction control. It's 80% of the GTD's performance for 30% of the price - and you can actually order one.

In this video, I break down why losing the Shelby name hurts, why it starts to make business sense, and why this could be the best Mustang for real enthusiasts who actually drive their cars.

🔥 KEY SPECS:

Supercharged 5.2L Predator V8 (power TBD - likely 700+hp)

7-speed dual-clutch transmission

MagneRide suspension with GT3/GTD tech

Track Pack: Carbon fiber wheels, carbon-ceramic brakes, 620 lbs downforce at 180 mph

Orders open March 2026, deliveries summer 2026

Expected price: $85-100K base, $100K+ with Track Pack
