Thanks!

Thanks! The car is 100% stock drivetrain aside from an air oil cooler mounted up front. The suspension has been replaced with the Ford Performance Track setup, and also vorshlag camber plates.

Yes I became a member over the summer at MSRH!

So far, so good! They definitely require a few laps to get up to temp. Structurally, they seem to be wearing well considering how rough the pavement at MSRH is.

@@raidernixon awesome. I just bought a set that I have been using as AX tires but maybe i will take it to the track sometime to get some lap lol

Thanks man! It was great seeing you out there. I see you had a heck of a run too - keep it up!

Much appreciated! The glass roof was a must have when I ordered the car in 2010. I don't see very many of them around these days.

@@raidernixon that car is truly gorgeous! And the sound inside, oh the sound is so mellow inside. Relaxing actually!

Come on out anytime! check out the Driver's Edge events (thedriversedge.net/). It is highly addictive so consider yourself warned. This car is running the Roush exhaust system (axle back)

No problem at all...I was having fun with the experience! (I really like your car by the way, I need to come check it out next time)

Are you an instructor out there? I’ll be there next weekend trying to get the instructor with the Mach1. Also my cyl head temps running around 230 do you run with the grill blanks open?

@@Mach1chassis4139 Hey man sorry for the delay. I am not an instructor. I might be out there this coming weekend, but will have my Black 2011 Mustang GT track build out for the first time (if I can make it). With regards to the grill blanks, I do not run with them open, and actually was confirmed to me from a source at Ford close to the Mach 1 project that opening the blanks does nothing to enhance cooling. If you have an A10, your car will likely run a bit hotter as you will be riding in the higher RPM ranges longer.

Not yet - hoping to make it out to both of those tracks in 2022!

Gurney flap was purchased through Autonation Ford White Bear Lake. Part number is KR3Z-6344210-AB

I ordered all of the parts through a Ford dealership, Parts list is on my build thread here: trackmustangsonline.com/threads/2021-ford-mustang-mach-1.17423/

@@raidernixon I thought that I will have to buy everything here but the prices are extremely high! How much you paid for the splitter and rear wing? www.autoware.com.au/shop/ford-mustang/exterior-ford-mustang/exterior-accessories/2021-mach1-handling-package-wheels/

Yeah, you can see the roll. But it's not that bad at all, especially for a car that's apparently on a 100% OE suspension. Norm

Yup, this was Blair's work - he did a great job. He captured a bunch of small videos and I merged some of them together to try to follow the order of the track.

Good to see you out there!

Hi Ken, Yes this is a manual Mach 1. I have nothing bad to say about the manual yet...it is one of my favorite things about the car to be honest. If I get tired of manual, the rev match feature is really nice and removes a majority of the burdon.

@@raidernixon I debated over the two for awhile, but don't take it to the track, yet and have heard good things about the auto for track use to and in track mode it does a great job at keeping the car at redline, maybe one day I will find out

That is correct. The car started off as a base model and now has the springs, stabilizer bar, wheels, splitter, spoiler, fender molding and mud guards from the handling package variant. I elected to go with vorshlag adjustable camber plates rather than ford's camber plates (which are not as easy to adjust in my opinion).

​@@raidernixon Hi again, I took my Mach 1 from the dealership in Poland on Friday. I already did 800 miles on it and I've noticed two disturbing things about the Tremec transmission. Here I want to point out that all my 11 years of experience in driving cars were on sticks, so we can assume that I'm changing gears properly. Issue number one. All of the up-shifts and light pulls after that are great. Transmission works perfectly. Nevertheless, changing from first gear into second between 2K to 3,5K RPM's on the second gear, there is some kind of metallic rattling sound from the transmission. When with my index and middle finger I raise a little this "hood" on gear lever (necessary to put into reverse) the ratling sound goes away instantly. Is it possible that this is only some kind of resonation from the engine or should I be more worried? Issue number two. All of the downshifts with the rev-matching procedure when the car is rolling like 20-30 mph (I am doing this "experiment" at this speed so the wind noise is very low) have a short metallic friction sound. I don't mean that normal pleasant metallic click when the gear is changed it's always there but with that normal clicking sound, there is also another strange noise. It is like an electric power driller when you press the trigger for one second. That type of sound... The Clutch is pressed all the way down. This is my first competitive transmission, maybe I am not used to that they are louder than normal manuals, like in my 1.5 liter focus EcoBoost. Let me know what are your experience from driving this car in lower speed in the city? Best Regards

Hello @@NokturNPolska I have not experienced any of the symptoms or noises that you are describing in my Mach 1. If I were you I would take the car back to your Ford dealership so that they can investigate and document the symptoms. The fact that the rattle noise is RPM and gear specific is odd. Previous model years (2015 - 2017) have had documented rattling issues due to loose cables in the transmission tunnel, an older design of engine/transmission plate that had no rubber coating on it, and even loose baffles in the center resonator. None of these proved to be destructive, but were quite annoying and fixable. If you don't want to go to the dealership yet, I would try posting your symptoms on the Mustang6g.com Mach 1 forum to see if anyone else has experienced this.

@@raidernixon how mamy miles do you have? Maybe it is related to break in period... Did you change transmision fluid?

@@NokturNPolska Right now it is at almost 1,900 miles. Nearly 800 to 900 of those are track miles. I broke this car in on the track - It had only 50 miles on it when I first tracked it and a majority of the first 500 miles on it where on the track. It still has the original factory transmission fluid. I never heard any strange sounds even during the initial mileage.
