@Austin Batton I would love a Nissan Ultimate, it'd be a one of - there's no such thing, bud. I drive a New Edge GT and a pickup in winter, on my second one since 2001, my fav car. I wanna get a terminator cobra next probably, but we'll see.
+JRC99 I agree with you! I would not waste the money on what Richard drove around the track. I prefer the Mustang made of actual metal and a 4 barrel carburetor on top. Actual gauges too!
What I love about The Mustang is how it’s an underdog that punches above its weight class. It was the leather jacketed street tough that could win against professionally trained fighters. When you look at the donor platforms: Fairmont/Sierra, Falcon, (I guess I have to mention the Pinto) it’s a working class hero... until it received a Jaguar chassis.
I build these at Flat Rock Assembly in Michigan. I've help build over a million Mustangs since we got them in 2004. It was sad to see the GT-350 and Bullitt leave in December, but nice to see the Mach 1 return!
Its got 390, (6.4L) was a chassis dyno video test of it. It was pretty underwhelming, well under 300hp to the wheels maybe 230ish, but I don't recall the exact numbers. I believe it's more or less stock with a fair amount of miles on it.
Got to drive a 2016 with a coyote 5.0, 6 speed manual, fixed piston calipers on vented rotors... closest thing to a race car for the street I’ve bet driven... badass car!
Especially since it was Cadillac that gave the world the conventional control layout we use today. Austin just took that and swapped it around for their first big model in the UK.
the UK and 2 more countries in europe have the steering wheel on the right everyone else has the steering on the left and Jeremy always went on about "the proper side" in almost every episode i think ...one of the things that got old for me watching top gear
Love where the M1 sits in the product lineup. I have a GT with a full Roush suspension upgrade and 350 strut tower bar, and what it needs is a drive-train sport or sport+ mode that can be matched to a softer suspension mode. If I were to upgrade today I would go to this. I don’t need everything the 350 offers and I can have more fun on local roads without being as loud as the 350R
Really? I have to be honest and I didn’t find it informative or interesting. And at that cost, it wasn’t entertaining either. If you want a proper car review, watch Henry Catchpole over at Carfection, Dan Prosser at Pistonheads or of course Chris Harris.
Anyone besides me waiting for “ ..turning it over to our tame racing driver “ as soon as those cones came out? - Hammond steps out, Stig hops in. Some say we’re all still waiting for it…
Loved this, I find Richard’s at his best when reviewing cars, the comedic and poetic points perfectly describe the character of a car, beyond the mere functions.
As a 2016 Mustang GT owner, I got to say thanks for this, Richard. My machine is an unvarnished joy, without the added sophistication of the Mach 1's additional hardware, so I can only guess how much of a thrill your test drive was. Thanks a lot!
There's something about the front of the car that reminds me of the later versions of the Jag XF R. The way the headlights look from the side angles. That same beautiful focused mature look.
Hey, even Richard had a shot at himself when he said you need rockets to go Mach One and the last time it ended badly for him. He crashed a rocket powered drag car which put him in hospital for a while.
