Ford's Mustang Dark Horse SC finally has a power number to go with the name. When Ford first revealed the supercharged GT500 replacement in January, we were given loads of details on the extras and even the six-figure price tag. But the engine still needed some time on the dyno to make sure this pony was tamed.The results are now official, and as expected, the boosted Dark Horse lands between the old GT500 and the flagship Mustang GTD. In fact, it's a number so close to 800 that Ford CEO Jim Farley is probably ready to push the powertrain engineers for just little bit more. If nothing else, it would be nice to claim some bragging rights over the old Dodge Challenger Hellcat Redeye models, never mind the Jailbreak. Hand-Built, Foot Hammered Christopher Smith / CarBuzz / Valnet Under the new aluminum and carbon fiber hood of the Dark Horse SC is a 5.2-liter supercharged V8. Each engine is hand-built at Ford's Dearborn Engine plant by a single tech, and the result is a work of art that puts down a now-official 795 horsepower along with 660 pound-feet of torque. Ford calls it "the most powerful Dark Horse ever created" and since it's the second one, that's not really much of a feat.That figure makes this the second-most powerful factory Mustang ever. It's just 20 hp below the ultra-limited Mustang GTD built for Ford by Multimatic, and just 4 lb-ft shy of that 'Stang as well.It's not a massive leap over the 760 hp of the last GT500, which left the lineup in 2022. But the 5.2-liter engine has to be reaching its limits, and Ford definitely couldn't step on the 815 hp from the GTD.The Ford Mustang Dark Horse SC is now the most powerful RWD pony car around. It's also the only pony car around, now that the Camaro is long-dead and the Charger is a huge sedan or coupe with all-wheel drive.This is all good for Ford, because the final Dodge Challenger Hellcats would have eclipsed the Dark Horse SC on the spec sheet. The last Hellcat-powered cars made 797 hp in Redeye form, 807 as the Super Stock and Jailbreak, and 1,025 hp in Demon 170 guise. The Demon, admittedly, was a very limited-edition model that needed E85 to achieve that output. Still, we can't help thinking an 800-hp Dark Horse SC might've been a little better, if only from a marketing standpoint. You'll Need To Spend Close To Double To Beat This Dark Horse Ford If you want to beat the SC in a new domestic car today, you'll have to step up to the Chevrolet Corvette ZR1. It uses a twin-turbo 5.5-liter V8 that makes 1,065 hp and 828 lb-ft. It also puts that engine behind the driver and the supercar starts from around $70,000 more than the Mustang.Along with the power figures, Ford announced that the new car has improved cooling and aerodynamics to keep the engine humming and the faster car stable. The new hood doesn't just flow more air, it makes more downforce. Remove the rain tray that protects the top of the engine, and you get 2.5-times the downforce of a standard Dark Horse model.Ford has opened the order banks for the Mustang Dark Horse SC. It starts from $103,490 and comes with a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission and MagneRide adaptive magnetic shocks.Buyers will also be able to add a $36,500 Track Pack that bolts on Brembo carbon ceramic brakes, aero parts that come from Ford's GT4 racing program, and Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2R tires. The pack also axes the rear seat, part of saving 150 pounds in total.Deliveries are set to start this summer. You can expect to see (and hear) them at your local car meets almost immediately after.
