  • The Nismo Z and Dark Horse Mustang shouldn't exist. Few people buy dedicated sports cars anymore, but Nissan and Ford built them anyway. And combined with the BMW/Toyota collaboration that is the GR Supra these three make us a rare breed that's hard for manufacturers to justify. Thankfully they do exist and we put them together, back to back, on a cold and snow speckled mountain road.

      Well for 1 thing the better comparison to today's Darkhorse would have been the 2003 Mach 1 or at the very least the Bullitt. Not to mention for that money I would have gotten a Firebird Formula and sorta did as I bought a brand new 2001 Pewter Z28 in 2002 for $21k. Fun VERY fast car for the time. Would smoke a much more expensive 2001 Cobra.
      I do hear you on the price. Inflation is killing ALL of us. My brand new 2019 Mustang GT BEFORE my TTT, down payment, trade in, ect was $39,550 in Oct 2018. Its a Premium package, Ruby Red upgrade, 20" wheel upgrade, Navigation. The MSRP was like $48k. I got a good deal on it getting that much off the MSRP. A year or 2 later the price on the same car jumped up quite a bit. Until just recently my car has been worth more than I paid for it. The fact everything is going up so much in price but no one is getting paid more is a real problem.

      Have you not looked at Camaro prices? If you want budget muscle go for that. And the Mustang EcoBoost start at 32K. The dark horse is one of the highest trims. There's a gt prem which is still kind of expensive.

This is probably the last generation of gasoline sports cars before everything is at least a hybrid if not EV. You buy these for old school engagement.

      Having had a 370Z and Mustang Gt's with the performance package, ending in 2016. all manual cars, even the Z. I have had the itch to get a new one. Even look at Corvettes for 2024. I'm just old, I guess Gone are gages. It's turn into gizmo world for an instrument panel. Dealer games with pricing should be Dropped by the manufactures. When looking at the new Z, you open the door and it's my 370 on alot of items. But improvements are welcome. I'm finding dealer mark-ups on Nismo's that aren't mentioned till you start visiting the dealers. Same with FORD. Toyota has a $5.000 mark-up on what little they have for a GR. Sorry to wine. It's great seeing all three cars, and the opinions of all three. Yes, the Z is truly quite nice. Oh, this clip was about driving, but service cost on any of these is magical. But that goes with the performance aspect of any new or old car.

    I haven't gotten to drive a Dark Horse yet. However, as a 2022 Mach 1 owner, I will say that if you're a potential buyer who is shying away from the Dark Horse due to the insane price tag or the touch screens all over the place, definitely go test drive a used Mach 1 with the 6-speed Tremec. You will NOT be disappointed one bit with your purchase. It is an absolutely phenomenal car. I work full-time from home, and I always cherish the opportunity to go for a drive, even if it's just a short trip to the local grocery store. Every minute spent behind the wheel is a delight.

      Must have been in Hackensack, NJ. Let me tell you a story: Apparently, Toyota of Hackensack sold a lot of supras close to invoice so that they could become a top selling supra dealer and sell more cars than everyone else. But as soon as Toyota saw that they were a top supra dealer, they started sending most of cars to them. Talking roughly 20 Supras a month. So what did they do now that they have all of these allocations? They raised the prices on all supras. And now they’re I have the market all to themselves because they got all the allocations. I think many dealerships are doing this, and it’s a shame, because they are essentially price fixing.

      The new Mustang 2024 is ok but not a huge visual better look than the S550. The front bumper is too busy with the flat black below the headlamp area. No front fog lights with the huge sorta fake vent area are not so visually appealing. The nostril look does not have the same subtleness of the S550 GT and higher trims. The rear requires a wing to make it look nice because the car lines are more ridged than smooth. It's not bad it's just an "ok" look overall.

    Yes, if you're driving to work on a road like that, a manual transmission is nice to have, but if you live in or around a big city as most of us do, the auto and a coffee or water bottle is perfectly suited for a great auto transmission. Encountering stop & go traffic is no fun with a manual.

    Fantastic comparison review. Awesome curved roads and scenery and videography, sound and editing! Cool that all three of the cars were made. Supra and Nismo are more my jam but the mustang looks and sounds much more like a muscle car. Too bad ford forgot about steering feel. Im not sure why car makes dont offer hydraulic steering in sport cars. They could charge extra for that!
    With all that said for the money, feel, beauty and function I'd rather drive my 1995 Porsche 993 cabriolet. Cheers! 😀

    Good video review. Thanks for taking the time to review these. Having owned both a Supra 3.0 and a Dark Horse, I agree with your assessments. The Dark Horse is a powerful and heavy car, butI disagree with the steering feel comments. Mine had the handling package & MT, but the steering gear is the same in the reviewed car. Better handling than the S550 models in most cases. The Supra is lighter and cheaper. Sounds good also. If you can find one with a manual transmission, it’s probably the best bang for the buck. They are not producing enough of those for our market though at the moment, unfortunately. The whole BMW thing never bothered me though, as that’s largely a fact of existence today for small volume coupes and sharing platforms across companies.

    I rented a 2021 mustang recently from enterprise and what you guys have said about the transmission on the new one is very accurate of how the transmission was on the 2021 model I had. It was absolutely the worst transmission I had ever experienced, it was especially god awful when you put it in manual mode, like holy cow was it bad.. Sad to know they havnt improved upon that 4 years later, and especially in the Dark horse spec. I don't see the appeal of a manual for your daily driver when dealing with traffic. If it was my weekend car, yea manual would be fun, but not even a consideration if the car is going to be my daily

  • @videomaniac108

    I bought a 2019 Nissan 370Z 6MT sport pkg coupe for about $33k. I put a good aftermarket intake and exhaust with a dyno tune to boost the crank hp from 332 to about 387 with 94 octane gas. I also put stiffer anti-roll bars with forged magnesium monoblock wheels for a total vehicle weight reduction of about 120 lb to get a weight of about 3266 lbs.
    The car performs on par with a 911 Carrera S, for much less money. It's a fun car to daily drive and to take out on canyon roads here in Northern California. The cars in this comparison are badly overpriced, too heavy and are lacking the responsiveness and feel that are the hallmarks of a good sports car. Instead of spending money and adding weight and complexity on things like Magneride, I'd rather just have an ultra lightweight and responsive suspension that handles with precision and that maintains the suspension geometry when pushed hard. In this case, less can be more when form is made to follow function and to do it as well as possible with minimal compromise.
