The Ford Mustang Dark Horse Spirit of America 810 Offers GTD Looks and 810 HP at a Fraction of the Price has been making headlines as the most track-focused pony car ever produced. But with a starting price of $325,000, and special editions like the Carbon Series and Spirit of America versions pushing well past $428,000, it’s a dream reserved for a select few.
But what if you could get the GTD look and nearly the same power—without the six-figure price tag or factory approval process?
Enter the Ford Mustang Dark Horse Spirit of America 810
A Kansas-based dealership, Long McArthur Ford in Salina, has created its own special-edition Mustang called the Dark Horse Spirit of America 810. Inspired by the GTD’s patriotic “Spirit of America” livery, this dealer-built performance machine delivers high-end styling and track-ready horsepower for a more attainable price.

The custom Mustang sports a red, white, and blue exterior wrap, giving it that bold American spirit. It also features:
- A massive rear wing
- Vented front fenders
- GTD-style wheels in Gloss Gunmetal
- Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires
This build may not include carbon fiber panels or a rear transaxle like the GTD, but it’s more than just a visual tribute.
Power That Lives Up to the Name
- A Roush Stage 2 TVS 2650 supercharger package and a specially designed Roush tune under the hood give the Ford Mustang Dark Horse Spirit of America 810 its name. When paired with the reliable 5.0L Coyote V8, it produces an incredible:
- 810 horsepower
- 630 lb-ft of torque
That’s just 5 horsepower and 34 lb-ft less than the GTD itself. The power is routed through a 10-speed automatic transmission, making it both fast and street-friendly.
Price: $98,970 — No Application Required
The best part? This performance-packed Mustang costs just $98,970—roughly a quarter of the GTD’s price. And unlike the real GTD, which requires buyer approval from Ford, this 810-horsepower beast is available to buy right now from Long McArthur Ford.
