What the Track Pack adds
- Package-specific MagneRide calibration
- 20-inch carbon-fiber wheels

If the car is going to live at track days, the Track Pack is the honest configuration. If it’s a collector or street car, the base SC keeps $36,500 in your pocket.
SC vs. standard Dark Horse
| Dark Horse | Dark Horse SC | |
|---|---|---|
| Engine | 5.0L Coyote V8, naturally aspirated | 5.2L supercharged V8 |
| Output | 500 hp | 795 hp / 660 lb-ft |

| Price (approx., incl. destination) | ≈ $63–64K | From $103,490 |
The biggest character change isn’t the power — it’s the gearbox. There is no manual SC; Ford built it around launch consistency and shift speed. If rowing your own gears is the point of the car for you, the standard Dark Horse remains the one. Full analysis in our launch article: Dark Horse SC: 795 HP, price, and what owners need to know.
