In a U-Drag race, the Chevrolet Corvette Stingray outperformed the Ford Mustang Dark Horse in acceleration, quarter-mile time, and overall circuit time, despite the Mustang's higher horsepower and lower price, highlighting the Corvette's superior performance in this test.
A man in New Jersey who bought a Ford Mustang Dark Horse, paid over MSRP, and saw it burn down in a fire, received a late apology in the form of a welcome kit from Ford nearly a year after the incident, despite no direct contact from the automaker following the fire.
The Mustang Dark Horse, despite having less power than the Chevy Corvette Z06, can beat it in a drag race when given a head start. However, in a rolling race, the Z06 outperforms the Dark Horse. The Dark Horse also outperforms its cousin, the Ford F-150 Raptor R, in a drag race due to its lighter weight.
