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, however it carries with it some blended feelings.

See, I can’t construct my supreme 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 good drivetrain will stay perpetually out of my attain. That’s as a result of the brand new automotive doesn’t provide the two.3 EcoBoost with a guide transmission, leaving the prospect of SCCA D Avenue world domination a mere dream to be dreamed in a time passed by.

However, with that limitation on the desk, what can we construct?

For those who’re me (which I doubt, however can not completely rule out) then you possibly can 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 shade 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 huge entrance stripes that carry over the roof and again to a automotive’s trunk. I want Ford supplied that as a single vinyl piece, however I’ll accept the three-part setup supplied 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 nice, competent sufficient to make me the weak hyperlink in any monitor situation, however I really like me a rear spoiler with a giant 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The Darkish Horse comes with a blue-accented inside, which I might truthfully take or go away (the outdated STi did it higher), however I’m at the least glad it’s not simply boring black. The indigo will not be my favourite shade, however at the least it’s a shade. My solely inside choice was the Recaro bucket seats, as a result of the inventory choices regarded a bit too flat for a slender man like me. I wish to be cradled in my sports activities automobiles.

That’s my supreme Mustang, thrown collectively for a mere — hold on, $73,000? Jesus. Effectively, 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 wish to drive.
