Because the launch of the 2024 Ford Mustang, we’ve all been ready for one factor: The second we will lastly get our greasy little mitts on the automotive’s on-line configurator. Now, the time is lastly right here, nevertheless it carries with it some blended feelings.
See, I can’t construct my very best Mustang in this configurator. I can get shut, slap the best mixture of exterior parts collectively to make a mean-looking muscle automotive, however the excellent drivetrain will stay endlessly out of my attain. That’s as a result of the brand new automotive doesn’t supply the two.3 EcoBoost with a handbook transmission, leaving the prospect of SCCA D Road world domination a mere dream to be dreamed in a time passed by.
However, with that limitation on the desk, what can we construct?
In the event you’re me (which I doubt, however can’t completely rule out) then you may construct this: A more-or-less totally spec’d out Mustang Darkish Horse, within the debut Vapor Blue Metallic. I fell in love with this colour on launch day, so there’s no approach I’d ever do my S650 up in something lesser. It’s simply so good.
I additionally spring for the painted hood stripe, as a result of I’m a sucker for extensive entrance stripes that carry over the roof and again to a automotive’s trunk. I want Ford provided that as a single vinyl piece, however I’ll accept the three-part setup provided on the Darkish Horse.
So long as we’re throwing cash at this automotive, why not add the Darkish Horse Dealing with Bundle? I’m certain the bottom Mustang handles high quality, competent sufficient to make me the weak hyperlink in any monitor state of affairs, however I like me a rear spoiler with an enormous gurney flap. A single bundle that provides that and a entrance splitter? Bellissimo.
The Darkish Horse comes with a blue-accented inside, which I might actually take or depart (the outdated STi did it higher), however I’m at the least glad it’s not simply boring black. The indigo is probably not my favourite colour, however at the least it’s a colour. My solely inside choice was the Recaro bucket seats, as a result of the inventory choices seemed a bit too flat for a slender man like me. I prefer to be cradled in my sports activities vehicles.
That’s my very best Mustang, thrown collectively for a mere — dangle on, $73,000? Jesus. Properly, I can dream — and so are you able to. Hop into Ford’s configurator, and kick your weekend off by displaying us the ‘Stangs you’d need to drive.
