One other thing I’ll add is pricing on EVERY car today is high/terrible. 30k for a freakin Camry I think is bad. 70k for a base corvette is high as well. 70k for a Mustang is actually inline with all the BS price increases of all vehicles the past few years. Everything is expensive.
The Darkhorse is way overpriced for what it is, especially if you go with the track package. I'd rather have a ZL1 or a Corvette. As the article stated, the Darkhorse isn't much faster than the GT, which costs significantly less. The downside with the GT is you can't get some of the upgrades that the Darkhorse has. For example, if you want a manual transmission you are stuck with the Getrag in the GT rather than a Tremec that the Darkhorse comes with.

Adding a blower to the Mustang will certainly add power, but you would still have to spend another 10k to do that right.
