I was paralyzed 3 years ago, and although traveling is still an option for me, ill probably never get to experience everywhere being limited you know, so some time's im truly thankful for Technology for being able to see the world through other's perspective in 4k.
Hopefully technology will catch up to you and one day you will be able too. I have a spinal cord injury from being wounded in Iraq although it didn’t paralyze me I still take this to heart. I am also a left leg amputee from the same event and decided to buy a mustang GT a couple years ago in manual because of Tim’s videos. Had to get an extension on the clutch pedal but after that it worked out quite well. I think Tim should hook up with you and give you a ride!! How cool would that be!?
Just saying, but I think the HPE850 package from Hennessy would make this car in ya top 3! You’d absolutely love it, and gives the car ALL the character it needs!
I enjoyed the tour and I remained interested in the narrative, although the subject matter is more mundane than usual. You do a great job speaking and informing us with no dead air. I am very pleased to subscribe and I look forward to each new episode. Thank you, Tim.
I own a 24 gt premium, interesting to hear your thoughts on the platform. I get similar gas mileage, maybe a tad better (~1 mpg). I would 100% recommend the ford performance oil catch cans, especially since you're tracking it.
My Lexus 5 litre naturally aspirated V8 is averaging 28mpg. To be fair that has been during the sensible period as it only has 600 miles on the clock. Sure it will drop as we can use the revs a bit more!
I tried to drive up Pikes Peak a couple years ago, when I lived in Colorado. We got there from Denver and they had closed it due to expected snow. So we spent the day at North Pole Colorado Santa’s Workshop at the base.
Yes, I vote that you should wrap the car with a color that pops. I would wrap the grey area area around the headlights in the new body color or black. What about a iridescent color for the wrap. Or, the FFF collection has a McLaren 765LT has a dark blue fade to a light blue in the middle of the car. The Hennessy HPE850 performance package is a great idea.. It would make for great content , with all the Mustang fans around the world. If you did install a supercharger on the Dark Horse, I think Misha would be green with envy.
Hello. The reason the car is tram lining is because of the sport cup 2’s. I had the same issue with mine until I went with a different tire. Great video!
Another great video is 2 amazing Fords! Very nice indeed. Not only are these some amazing cars but cars just open up amazing trips like this for us to enjoy. Again, well done and thank you!
yeah with pikes peak, I remember randy Probst saying that after a crash up there he always made a point to have an oxygen tank with him, as the height and the lack of oxygen screws up your thought process, and your ability to react properly, which is what caused his off in that skyline, as you just freeze up, and cant react properly. also another major thing was you had to change the points on your car back in the old days if it was carbed, as it wasnt just turbo cars that had trouble up there and even I remember Land rover was having trouble, modern land rover as they never rigged up or programed the computers to adjust the fuel to air mixture rate properly for that area as well given how low down and close to the sea england is, it was some news story I came across with the new 80K defender from a few years ago' the same one harry had that was a squeaks and rattle box for the same cost as a viper, like I couldnt believe that box of bolts, that piece of junk cost that much new and had that many problems also schmee, in 1965, that mustang would be getting 5 to 7 miles to the gallon with that power figure, be glad your getting 17, and its not supercharged as 440 cop cars used to need to fill up mid patrol, also supercharging actually changes the torque and fuel curve and helps the MPG weirdly enough, like theirs this guy in las vegas who supercharged a 440 and was getting that same figure out of it with 600 HP so that's not bad, and I bet a gallardo is getting the same really. also your ford gt would be better at start ups because theirs less rotational mass for the engine to get going with, based on it being a V6 and not a V8 supercar, and god please take that stupid V6 out and put the V8 in like they should have done from the factory, as theirs so much untapped potential in that chassis if they had just put in a V8 like its a good car, but damn if it aint wrong that it doesnt sound like the proper gt40
So Tim, have you put down your name for the new Mustang GTD? Surely if you had, Ford should seriously consider you as one of the lucky few to be chosen, since you've given a lot of air time and keep iterating your love for the brand in your channel. Surely, you're a no-brainer for Ford if you had.
The GTD is not worth his effort! 350K for a Mustang : This Is Your Brain ON Drugs! He already owns a GT and a GT500. IMHO, he should not even keep the Dark Horse, especially in that fugly white! His next new American Car should be an ERay or a ZR1!
@HammerRocks It's still a pure waste of his money. In the last year or two, Tim's choices make me think that he's got more money than brains... Used to like him, now I'm wondering...
@Shmee150 The seat issue is easy to solve if you don’t mind moving your seat every time you get in and out like I do. Move the seat all the bay back using the under front release, get in and push forward again. Been doing it for years now no issues at all. 😉😉
Keep the NA V8 please. If you do go for the henessey package it would frankly in my opinion be very similar to the gt500 and lose its essence of being one of the last NA v8 front engined cars. Would love some new intakes or handling focused upgrades to bring it upto spec.
Personnaly, I think you could do, with Hennessey and/or with Shelby some power upgrades, and if it's needing due to these, maybe some chassis upgrades, but above all, I think it could be great to highlight the '' stormtrooper spec'' of your mustang thanks to some details or references to Star Wars, without even completely cover the car and the white
Thanks, interesting trip : and especially, PIKES PEAK. I have “not done “ PIKES PEAK, yet, but just done the “ Beartooth Road, **” . Reminds me of a really tremendous Drive: **Our trip from COOKE CITY MT,Thru part of Yellowstone National PARK, into RED LODGE MT…namely The Beartooth Scenic Byway,etc., is a magnificent mountain Drive: probably unparalleled, especially,exploring some areas briefly….
8:40 actually turbo cars do better at altitude than normally aspirated cars. They effectively make their own atmosphere. There's a reason turbos were used on airplanes.
11:07 it's weight and aerodynamics. But also it's a turbo 6 cylinder. When driving easy, there's no boost with a turbo and it's a smaller engine. The Mustang is a bigger 8 cylinder
Shmee150 Great Video I'm glad you've had a great 10.4k Miles in your Mustang Dark Horse and had a great time driving up Pikes peak and I think you should definitely get your Mustang Dark Whippled by Lethal Performance
Your issue with the small gap between the steering wheel and side bolster of the Recaro seat is easiy fix. SImpy slide the seat back each time you get out and slide it forward when you're seated. It's what I do when getting in and out of my Mazda MX-5.
On the subject of Mustang I wonder if we got an invitation to purchase a GTD and we are likely to see that to the collection alongside the Heritage, GT & GT500 👀
I have the exact same problem like yours when entering my Porsche. Even with Easy access (where the seats move back) , I still scuff my steering wheel. You will notice the scratches especially when driving because you are touching the sttering wheel and I absolutely hated that. Im so careful when entering the car now and people wonder why XD
Do the power upgrades, do visual upgrades too. Make this a “modern build series.” It’s not an extremely special car that would be sacrilegious to modify or one that viewers would be mad at you for modifying.
bro hell yeah i was visiting Colorado as well land on my way down from pikes peak i saw you guys going up and started freaking out, i was there may 26th-june 6th or so so I've been waiting a month for this video lol, wish i could have met you mate
Ref your drivers seat and steering wheel closeness issue. Fords I have driven (F150, Expedition) have a convenience setting whereby the seat moves back away from the steering wheel automatically before you get in/ out of the vehicle. Have you tried checking this option in the menu? Just a thought.

Shmee with ski instructor background salivating 😂
You know it! I was definitely getting the ideas to go find some skis and change my plans for the day
@@Shmee150 Hi Shmee I’m one of your biggest fans! Hi!
@@Shmee150 is there a way to meet you? It would be a pleasure!
Skee150
I have that exact spec in a 1/38 scale. It would be awesome if Tim would sign it!!
Just saying, but I think the HPE850 package from Hennessy would make this car in ya top 3! You’d absolutely love it, and gives the car ALL the character it needs!
this guy drives slower then my grandma he doesnt need hp he needs some balls
@@Chris-hw4mq The Pikes Peak road is very treacherous!
How about "Hi Shmee, I'm guys" T-shirts?
you are such a fan boy lol
Pikes Peak road used to be unpaved, those old hill climb runs were insane on the gravel roads.
Always a good day when Shmee posts a video. He is amazing. Especially his Shmeemobiles.
Thanks for the support
@@Shmee150 No problem. I enjoy watching your videos every day.
Going to the top of a mountain is always my favorite thing to do. Good episode!

Hi shmee I'm guy's
Hi guys
😂
No, I'm guy's 🙃
Gays
This comment is extremely overused and nauseating at this point 🤦
Try being original from now on
I love the respect and love you have for all your cars tim.
dark horse and ford GT - living the dream bud
Love the sound of a V8!!
What a fantastic looking place, not may times you see somewhere that's better looking than the cars.
Pikes Peak looks amazing thanks for taking us along for the ride
Absolutely yes to the 850HP Hennessey upgrade. That would make for some really entertaining content, and something i would love to watch.
My Lexus 5 litre naturally aspirated V8 is averaging 28mpg. To be fair that has been during the sensible period as it only has 600 miles on the clock. Sure it will drop as we can use the revs a bit more!

Great to see you shmee , loving every videos that your uploading ! !
Those two fords look great together 🥰
It would look more menacing all black! Even though I do love a white and black combo!
I was at Pikes Peak a couple days before you and Porsche was testing their new 992.2 GT3 cars. Glad you made it to Colorado come back anytime Shmee!!
wooooooo the drive Pikes Peak head in the clouds... the snow caps a long way to the top 156 turns many thanks
and dont forget the trees .
Sounds amazing for a 2024 car 🔥🔥
I love mine, but I agree with your steering wheel concern. Worth it though. Mine is Blue Ember Metallic.
Shmee is my Fav car youtuber also love ur 3 ford trio

also another major thing was you had to change the points on your car back in the old days if it was carbed, as it wasnt just turbo cars that had trouble up there
and even I remember Land rover was having trouble, modern land rover as they never rigged up or programed the computers to adjust the fuel to air mixture rate properly for that area as well
given how low down and close to the sea england is, it was some news story I came across with the new 80K defender from a few years ago'
the same one harry had that was a squeaks and rattle box for the same cost as a viper, like I couldnt believe that box of bolts, that piece of junk cost that much new and had that many problems
also schmee, in 1965, that mustang would be getting 5 to 7 miles to the gallon with that power figure, be glad your getting 17, and its not supercharged
as 440 cop cars used to need to fill up mid patrol,
also supercharging actually changes the torque and fuel curve and helps the MPG weirdly enough, like theirs this guy in las vegas who supercharged a 440
and was getting that same figure out of it with 600 HP
so that's not bad, and I bet a gallardo is getting the same really.
also your ford gt would be better at start ups because theirs less rotational mass for the engine to get going with, based on it being a V6
and not a V8 supercar, and god please take that stupid V6 out and put the V8 in like they should have done from the factory, as theirs so much untapped potential in that chassis if they had just put in a V8
like its a good car, but damn if it aint wrong that it doesnt sound like the proper gt40
Shmee becoming an Ford UK ambassador soon
Stunning scenery, Shmeebees!
Including the Ford GT 😏
I actually drove pikes peak that same day. I saw that Ford gt and dark horse on my way up. It was very crowded!
That was truly beautiful. Skiing ⛷️ in July?Awesome.
Safety first.... AND ALL THAT JAZZ!
the exhaust sound on the dark horse is very nice
If you find yourself in Arizona this weekend, we have Cars & Coffee, Four-Til-Four, and Scuderia Southwest all happening this Saturday in Scottsdale.
this videos are at least month old

So Tim, have you put down your name for the new Mustang GTD? Surely if you had, Ford should seriously consider you as one of the lucky few to be chosen, since you've given a lot of air time and keep iterating your love for the brand in your channel. Surely, you're a no-brainer for Ford if you had.
This needs more power. Supercharged but with excellent cooling mods would top it off.
The GTD is not worth his effort! 350K for a Mustang : This Is Your Brain ON Drugs! He already owns a GT and a GT500. IMHO, he should not even keep the Dark Horse, especially in that fugly white! His next new American Car should be an ERay or a ZR1!
Hey@@gillesthibault429, guess what? Tim just announced he's getting the GTD. So, that means I, with my "Brain ON Drugs", called it correcty
@HammerRocks It's still a pure waste of his money. In the last year or two, Tim's choices make me think that he's got more money than brains... Used to like him, now I'm wondering...
This was cool! I've never seen a leisurely drive up and down Pike's Peak before.
Yo Shmee150, thanks for the picture @ Supercar Madness Zolder Circuit! Very cool from you and I hope to see you again!
Make it all-wheel drive and nothing will beat it
H850 package would be rad! Would love to see that upgrade on the dark horse!😮
24:32 That mustang in the atlas blue will look really beautiful
Heard ford's reinventing itself❤❤🎉🎉 cost of steel per inch in a ford car was cheaper than steel in raw
@Shmee150 The seat issue is easy to solve if you don’t mind moving your seat every time you get in and out like I do. Move the seat all the bay back using the under front release, get in and push forward again. Been doing it for years now no issues at all. 😉😉
What about tilting the wheel up? I always did that when I had my Mustang and never had that issue.
So Tim, do you prefer the Dark Horse over the GT500 or the opposite? Compare and contrast.
Great video! Loved it.
Keep the NA V8 please. If you do go for the henessey package it would frankly in my opinion be very similar to the gt500 and lose its essence of being one of the last NA v8 front engined cars. Would love some new intakes or handling focused upgrades to bring it upto spec.
I like to hear about the mpg figures. I also am a MPG nut. Even tho I've got a c6 z06. Always interesting
Personnaly, I think you could do, with Hennessey and/or with Shelby some power upgrades, and if it's needing due to these, maybe some chassis upgrades, but above all, I think it could be great to highlight the '' stormtrooper spec'' of your mustang thanks to some details or references to Star Wars, without even completely cover the car and the white

Would love to see that car in a burnt metallic orange and keep the black . Would be sic.
Hi. Next time you get plates, ask to see the stack they scan from. Pick one you like until you get a personalized plate.
Agree driving in Italy is mental🥶
I don’t like the old mustangs because of the intake system, that’s why I like the new mustang!
White isn’t typical shmee mobile, defo needs a splash of colour that matches the black. Maybe a wrap for the next time you’re out there
8:40 actually turbo cars do better at altitude than normally aspirated cars. They effectively make their own atmosphere. There's a reason turbos were used on airplanes.

@shmee150 you need to add bracing underneath to fix that issue. Like a G Trac Brace
I would really love to see a Hennessey H850 upgrade on the darkhorse 😁
Shmee150 Great Video I'm glad you've had a great 10.4k Miles in your Mustang Dark Horse and had a great time driving up Pikes peak and I think you should definitely get your Mustang Dark Whippled by Lethal Performance
Definitely need the Hennessy package
Your issue with the small gap between the steering wheel and side bolster of the Recaro seat is easiy fix. SImpy slide the seat back each time you get out and slide it forward when you're seated. It's what I do when getting in and out of my Mazda MX-5.
Drive Mt. Evans just west of Denver. It's slightly higher than Pike's Peak and generally less crowned.
Hennessy package!!!
The most well traveled automotive UA-camr. 🤍😎👍🏾
Please please please do the Hennessy pack 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼it would be so much more unique. Much more awesome. Give that car something to make it worth while
If it helps, I happen to be in that category of the license plate and also drive a Ford Mustang, but a 1969 version 💖
will you ever do a part 2 on hapyhipi i was really invested into that man’s love for all of his cool things ! love you shmeeeees
How about the Mustang GTD? Can we expect an announcement in a near future ?
Goodwood next week is there any shmeemobile unveiling this year ?
One or two... stay tuned! Last year was a quiet one, this year we go big
Beautiful!! Thanks for sharing!!
On the subject of Mustang I wonder if we got an invitation to purchase a GTD and we are likely to see that to the collection alongside the Heritage, GT & GT500 👀
22:56 Future Dark Horse Upgrades? -->> Drop it off at Hennessey.
Next time you are in Colorado you need to drive up Mt Evans

Shmee deserves a Mustang GTD allocation
Hi Shmee, you should consider getting a Shelby super snake, it looks insane and would love to see your spec discussion with Shelby to make it unique.
Hi from Puerto Rico Tim
Still waiting on that black roof for the mustang!!!
The way the mustang darts left to right is a cause of to much camber, have it aligned for the street and back again for the track.
Shmee all your cars are cool 😎
staying on point kicking off the 4th here in the usa - timing!
Happy 4th on the proper side of the pond, mate. Lol
Please add the hennessey upgrade package to it
Definitely thinking about it!
Second this
Never had a white car, not a big fan. I do have to admit that the white with the black hood amd accents does look killer though
Shmee Would you be interested in getting the DB 12?
While in America, you should visit the Ford HQ in Michigan
I see one on autotrader with 18k miles. But to be at 10k without living here is crazy
Love the videos shmee! Hope you are having a great day!
Thanks! You too!
Tim as I said when you were at Hennessy, it needs more power. Checkout your X feed why?
I'm more than afraid to learn after this trip how much you've spent with all of this... I feel the pockets are slightly burning?
