In a clash of titans, the MotorTrend Channel pits the Mustang Dark Horse against the Cayman GTS, sparking a debate over manual versus PDK transmissions. The Mustang's 500 horsepower and torque face off against the Cayman's smooth PDK, leaving the team surprised by the Mustang's slower speed despite its lower price tag. The Porsche's higher cost raises eyebrows, but the Mustang's sheer power hints at a possible upset in the making.

Frustration mounts as the team witnesses the Mustang's underperformance, prompting a daring test of their braking capabilities. The Dark Horse shines in this aspect, showcasing its impressive stopping power and leaving the team in awe. Despite initial skepticism, the Mustang's brakes prove to be a force to be reckoned with, ultimately winning the stop test and solidifying its performance credentials.

Through a quirky "wheel of winning," the team measures the distance between the cars after braking, with the Mustang emerging as the clear victor in this crucial aspect of performance. The test highlights the Mustang's ability to excel not just in speed but also in bringing all that power to a controlled stop. In the end, the clash between these automotive giants reveals that while one car may have the edge in straight-line speed, the other shines in precision and control, proving that true performance encompasses more than just raw power.
