    Some 2003-2004 Mach 1 facts: 305hp, 320tq, 3.55:1 rear axle gear ratio. The stock GTs only had about 265 hp. A bone stock Mach 1 should achieve 1/4 mile times somewhere between 13.2 to 13.6 seconds at around 103 mph. Enhancements over the stock GT also include, a lowered, retuned suspension and additional frame rail connectors for a stiffer body. Large 13-inch Brembo front rotors and upgraded calipers are standard.
    The engine set up was basically the same engine as the 2001 Cobra, except that, the Mach 1 Team Mustang enhanced the performance with high-flow four-valve heads, higher compression, new cams (from the 5.4 Lincoln Navigator, reportedly with the same lift as the '01 Cobra cams but with different overlap and duration), revised calibrations, and improved exhaust manifolds that are also port-matched to the heads. It also had a functional ram air, shaker hood. This car is quite clearly a big cut above a stock GT and at least engine wise, even a 2001 Cobra. These were pretty special cars and in no way, were they simply a stock GT with few cosmetic enhancements. If the 2003-2004 Cobras weren't such fantastic beasts, the 03-04 Mach 1 would've been much more revered.

      Those additional frame connectors were absolute garbage. Most if not all replace them with steeda full length or Maximum motorsports full length subframe connectors.

    You can get a 2v GT to the power level of a Mach 1 and beyond easily with just bolt-ons and a tune, but... that 4v in the Mach has so much more potential. The same bolt-ons there will give you a pretty quick car.

  • @dannyjohnsonsgarage
    @dannyjohnsonsgarage 10 лет назад +225

    Great review. I own both an 04 Cobra and an 03 Mach 1 and you got these reviews accurate. Great work! As far as "slow" goes, people need to understand that 260HP in a GT back in 1999 was decent, if not one or the better bargains you could get. Now a 420HP GT is common. I consider 180HP Hondas as "slow," 260HP GTs as fast, Mach 1s as faster, and Cobras as insanely fast. That's just me though

    • @josekills23
      @josekills23 10 лет назад +4

      terminator cobras were hitting 12.70 1/4 mile stock and mach 1 13.1 honestly terminators were not insanely fast from show room floor knowing their bottom end completely build and supercharged pushing only 395hp on 8lbs boost you would at least expect to break 400hp through the eaton

    • @josekills23
      @josekills23 10 лет назад +3

      what really makes these terminators fast is their aftermarket bolt ons such as throttle body pulley swap and cold air kit all together after custom tune u can see numbers like 480-500RWHP then your looking at 11.50 1/4 mile times which is what mach 1s get with 10lbs boost on a vortech sc supercharger not to mention thats a stock mach 1s limit before needing forged pistons and H beam connecting rods

    • @dannyjohnsonsgarage
      @dannyjohnsonsgarage 10 лет назад +13

      *****
      Actually, the the terminator's engine was producing 420-435 HP at the crank as they were putting down 360-375 rear wheel horsepower on the dyno. Ford was very conservative on the specs due to their law suit on the 1999 Cobra that put down less than the advertised horsepower number. You also have to remember that 12.7 in the 1/4 mile was very fast for both 2003 AND for a car in the mid $30,000 range.

    • @dannyjohnsonsgarage
      @dannyjohnsonsgarage 10 лет назад +16

      *****
      As for the Mach 1 vs the Terminator, that's the exact reason I bought my Cobra. To duplicate the same performance numbers the Cobra offered, I would have to put the same amount of money (to do it right) into the Mach 1 as the purchase price of the Cobra.. or end up with a Mach 1 limited to 450 rwhp, which is basically where a pulley'd cobra would begin.. I decided to buy a terminator because 1)They are a legend, reliable, and factory designed to idle and run smoothly with a blower, handling up to 700 or 800 HP no sweat. 2) I would be accumulating another asset that could be sold one day (if needed) compared to the money that would be invested in the Mach 1 and never seen again. I couldn't be happier to have both iconic cars.

    • @josekills23
      @josekills23 10 лет назад

      Scrun Johnson maybe ford is known to underrate their cars like the 2000 cobra R said to make 385HP to ctrank we all know they dynod 375RWHP

    Because the New Edge were The Mustangs of my childhood (like, when I was old enough to notice), I love the body style of them, and those Mach 1s are friggin awesome looking. I had a v6 S197 and I have a 5.0 S550 now, but or all the random special edition Mustangs, these Mach 1s are high up on my list.

    • @tylerdurden8939
      @tylerdurden8939 4 года назад

      I have a 2017 s550 gt now and before this I had a 2004 mach 1. The mach 1 was fun but the old 4.6's, even the 4 valves don't hold a candle to the new 5 liters. before the mach I had a 99 2 valve gt. it was sort of a factory freak, very fast for what it was. I for about 6 months had a v6 genesis coupe, just couldn't get into it.

    • @GolfInHawaii69
      @GolfInHawaii69 2 года назад

      The 4.6s might not be as powerful as the newer coyote 5.0s but those modular engines are bulletproof and hard to find them unreliable. Also very simple to work on compared to the newer computers on wheels🤣. I love my 04 mach1💯. However a coyote swap on my mach1 with some suspension upgrades would be an absolute rocket ship. Maybe someday🙏.

    @playanddisplay3636 Год назад +2

    Remember when these came out due to a memorable ass woopin I received in my 89 5.0 speed. I had bolt ons, e303 cam and springs, headers/exhaust, and fat rear tires. It was a solid mid 13 second car and I rolled up on what I thought was a cool set of decals and scoop an a 2v GT. When I coaxed him into a race, I knew things were not as they seemed as I shifted second a full 2 seconds before he had to with his 4v. This was the case in every gear, and I would hold with him until his extra rpm pulled me at the top of the gears. When he finally pulled over, we chatted, and I learned a lesson in Mach 1 Goodness.

  • @jmfut
    @jmfut 8 лет назад +11

    Disagree so much here. First I have a 03 GT and is one of my favorite interiors. I love how they had done the dual cock pit back in 94. I love how they took the lines of the dash and took them into the door panels. Hate to say but unlike 05 on up New Edge do not have issues needing new panels as the material separates over time. Also love how you cannot see the door speakers are hidden in a New Edge. I hate to say 05 to current with exposed speaks does not look good in my opinion. Love the drive and feel of a short wheel base and 2 valves exhaust vs modern axles backs exhaust . I love my 03!

    • @Super6-Four
      @Super6-Four 7 лет назад

      The interior for the New Edges and SN95s alike were much to be desired. 99-00 had horrible cup holder positions (01-04 fixed that), there is a lack of compartments near the shifter. No consideration in comfort was given especially with the GT seats being absolute garbage (cobra and mach 1 seats were way better). Could have worked a bit more on the dash and added more compartments etc. Not hard really, top of the dash is just absolutely clean and devoid of anything. The emergency flasher button is uncomfortably placed right above the steering wheel. I can go on. But the outside of the car was well done!

    • @GeorgiaBoy1961
      @GeorgiaBoy1961 2 года назад

      @ jmf80 - The interior that always struck me as cheap looking was the one on the 2005-2010 Mustangs. FMC tried to go retro, and ended up just making it look cheap and slapped together. The SN95s and New Edges fit like a glove if you aren't too large or tall - a neighbor of mine, a big ex-football player, could not shoehorn himself into my front passenger seat too easily so it wasn't a car for him - but the design is ergonomically-sound and attractive for that era.

    I always liked the 2003-04 Mach 1... Especially with a 5 speed manual. I like that it only weighs 3,465 pounds, and packing a 305 HP / 320 LBFT 32 valve V8. For it's time, it definitely moved. Hell, high 13's is still faster than 90% of the cars being made today. Nice review as always.

  • @1400IntruderVS
    @1400IntruderVS 9 лет назад +3

    I like these retro-car reviews because it is done by some oen that seems to really enjoy the cars regardless of their flaws and that what it means to be not only a car enthusiast but a driving enthusiast.
    We love the machines because the all feel a little different and because they are flawed we have to get to know and feel what they can or can not do.
    Many newer cars behave to simple or easy. Loaded with so many techno-gadgets that they practically drive themselves or at least they create the illusion that the operator knows how to drive them. As if they have all the soul of a micro-chip.

    • @SubieandFriends
      @SubieandFriends 10 лет назад

      That's a wrong analogy....cuz unlike the 2valve ford the Chevy LT1 had a shit load of power and lost only 20hp to the new LS1 not to mention torque was the same for both engines...when the new mustang gt came out in 99 it only made 260hp and the camaro which was first released in 93 was making 285hp by 1997..... in 98 it was making 305hp with the new LS1...so the new for 99 gt had no chance of beating the chevy even with a cobra. The z28 and z28 ss were unstoppable. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

    You're not beating any mustang GT in any toyota camry. Not only that the 2v 4.6 is a torque fiend. Takes a bit of rpms to get there but once it's there be ready. Not only that let's not forget ford used the 2v motor all the way up to 2010 if I remember correctly. All those motors swap between like 5 different ford vehicles.

      Haha same! It's my first car and she runs great; The odom reads 130 and I have an exhaust leak that makes the engine rev down extremely slow. But other than slow clutch engaging, she drives really good! In fact, the v6s actually run a TON better than people presume. Great first car, especially since the new edge body is my fav of all stangs.

  • @greenfaction4
    @greenfaction4 10 лет назад

    I used to have a Mach 1. The transition from 3rd to 4th was beastly and the adrenaline rush would fill me up with excitement. One time I floored it from 3rd at 90, shifted into 4th and after what seems to be 5-10s the engine was hitting its limit. The car was doing 135 in 4th with HP to spare. I almost shitted my pants because the car had exceeded my expectations. I believe the car would go 160 stock if the gearing of 5th was not so tall.

  • @LVN2RNMMA
    @LVN2RNMMA 8 лет назад +4

    the terminator Cobra is a much better and faster car, But the Mach 1 has a completely different personality. It's cool in that Old School muscle way. You can always mod the Mach 1 to be as powerful and as fast as the Terminator . But whats awsome about the Mach 1 is that old school feel.

    • @Carolina_Boy_93
      @Carolina_Boy_93 8 лет назад +1

      You can't dude. The aluminum block on the Mach 1 limited the power you can make. The Terminators can make more.

    • @kevinfrancis8640
      @kevinfrancis8640 8 лет назад

      I agree but just remember the motor can handle up to about 450WHP. Now of course people have big powered cars out there in the world but if you have a 450HP mach 1 - realistically you're not going to find much out there that can run with it on your everyday drive. If you go ahead and forge everything I cant see it having any issues in the mid 500s. All comes down to the tune and if you drive it like an idiot or not. The cobra is a better platform obviously to make bigger power but I would take a 500HP mach 1 over a 500HP cobra. Most cobras are fast - pushing well over 600, but you dont expect the same from a Mach 1. 150 shot also can have the car in the 11s if you didnt want to run boost and you put some tires on it. Yes it can be as powerful as a cobra but not as powerful as one that is whipple swapped etc. .

    You are definitely right that the 90s and early 00s was the "dark ages" for Ford. But theyve had dark ages before and that were worse. The mid 70s to early 80s werent good years for Ford either. But neither was it for GM and Chrysler. But yeah, GM beat Ford out in the 90s with the LS1, C5 Vette, and SS camaro.

      Yeah, but the tables have turned now, at least for the Camaro and Mustang. The new Camaros may be great performers but they look like crap and you can't see out of them. I realize that comment will get some people upset, but having been around when the Camaro and Firebird were introduced in 1967, the new ones are a joke by comparison. The 1990s-early 2000s F-bodies, on the other hand, looked great and had the performance to back it up.

    I use to have a red 04 Mach 1. Traded it in 3 years ago for a 08 ranger because I wanted a dirtbike, mountainbike, etc. Immediately after I traded it in, a kid bought it who covered it in stickers and blew the clutch within 2 weeks. Then 2 weeks later I saw it driving around again and after a total of 6 weeks of ownership, he flipped it into a ditch. Now I see a girl driving it around who keeps it CLEAN all the time thankfully and, no lies, every time I see/hear it, i tear up. God damn i miss that car. I'm lookin to get back into a sportscar within the next year, hopefully a 5.0 if i can afford it.

    • @2008s197
      @2008s197 10 лет назад +7

      yeah I see a lottttt of 2v hate on this channel. No, a camry will not beat a 2v. The 4v vs 2v comparison in why the mach is faster is a very broad statement. I think what you "meant" to say was the fact that the heads/cams in the 2v are absolute dog shit, and they aren't rev'd high at all. While the awesome heads and the 4 cams in the mach let it breathe at 6k+ rpm. The key to a quick all motor 2v is adding cams, and revving it to the moon...NO n/a mod motor runs good unless it is rev'd high...hence why every quick n/a mustang pre coyote is geared 4.10. The coyote would be the same way if the mt-82 itself wasn't geared so deep and had the extra gear.
      And don't get me wrong, I'm not saying this to discredit the mach, it's prolly the most underrated mustang there is, but I credit that mainly to the fact that the one's that track them know what they're doing, your average 2v driver is a high school kid and the 2v just doesn't have the power up top to make up for poor driving, while a coyote on the other hand can 2.3 60ft all day and make up for it on the back half of the track

    • @jbarth73

      Justin D The reason why the 4v can rev to 6800 almost 7000 rpms is because of the forged crank not offered in the automatic versions . So pony up get a manual

    Time frame the Mach 1 was pretty respectable. It was ‘about’ as quick as a standard C5 Vette at the time but honestly nothing short of a Z06 or a Viper felt fast compared to the Terminator that put it in the backseat.
    Telling ya though, folks are spoiled on these factory 800 horsepower cars. The technology may have changed but the laws of physics haven’t. 300 horsepower cars are still realistically quick in most cases.

    @skybluemarshall 9 лет назад +1

    I know those were old posts, but for those who dislike the older body style, please get it it right. It's not 2005-2010. The body style that you dislike is the 2005-2009. In 2010, the newer body style came out, with the older, but slightly improved 4.6 modular V8s and the ancient and very tame Cologne V6 engines.
    The 2011-20012 models look almost exactly like the 2010 models, but they sport the newer 400+ hp, Coyote 5.0 V8s and the 305 hp Cyclone V6 motors. I'm still not sure why Ford did that, unless they were trying to get an early jump on showcasing their new body style, during the same year as the return of the Camaro. Maybe they were trying to steal a bit of Chevy's thunder. I feel sorry for people who bought the 2010s, because they loved the new body style. They could've waited one year and they would've gotten an extra 100 horsepower.
    The 2013-2014 Mustangs are basically the same body style as the 2011-2012 cars, but the grill and front facia were changed to look more like the previous model Shelby Mustangs and they also got those great looking new tail lights.
    I bought a brand new 2012 Mustang Premium Pony Package V6 for my daily commute. At almost 60,000 miles, it's been a really great car so far, with only one minor problem that the dealer fixed. Every time I look at my car, I still think it looks really nice and I still get compliments and questions about the car. These V6 Stangs are soon going to be great buys for younger people. They perform similar to the previous Gen V8 Mustangs and they get the gas mileage of V6 Camrys or Accords. But, they look much better of course. In 8 years of ownership, nobody ever once complimented the look of my Honda Civic. I've lost track of how many times someone said they liked my Mustang. All that said, I really like these older Mach 1s. I wouldn't mind having one for a toy.

Mach 1 sales boosted the mustang program more than anyone has ever known.

    Hi David, ive been a subscriber since you were at about 8,000 subs and you are my favorite RUclips in the community by far! Your the mist kind and open to everything and every style of car even if it isnt your cup of tea! Which is exactly how I am! The only constructive criticism I would give is on your reviews just add a little bit more cornering and handling opinions! Other than that you have great camera and editing work and just superb videos! Wish I could meet you but I live in Oregon! Let us know if you come anywhere close to out here so i could come!

    Putting a turbo or turbos on a 2V isn't any harder then boosting any other engine. And I have seen 2V's make well over 1000whp with a Kenny Bell blower. And that's with stock ported PI heads!
