I've been watching all the youtube videos about mach 1 daily for about 2 months now and I have to say that this was the most spectacular of all. nice personal review. Im from portugal and im going to buy one! Props from here
Yo best review I’ve seen about a mach one boutta get one in a week and excited with handling pack and everything def you know your stuff and it shows keep it up! -Dyl
I had originally had bought a 2020 GT premium with the performance pack 2. And was blown away by how awesome it was but there were some things about it that I discovered from the previous owner not want to deal with (specifically his aftermarket choices) so I traded it back into the dealer and I wound up getting a Mach 1 premium with the Mach 1 appearance package and elite package. Manual transmission. I was able to get the vehicle for 58 even and with the amount of aftermarket work you would have to do to gain all the cooling, aerodynamic parts, and the tremec transmission, it was well worth the difference as long as you’re not paying above sticker!
The same car is selling for MSRP now at $63k. So at $58 you got it below MSRP by about $5k! That’s a fantastic deal. The one I have coming here is that spec without the handling pack in fighter Jet gray it’s got the premium looks with the Tremec. They are sticking with the price on the MSRP sticker which is about $63. Might be able to get a bit lower by financing and trade allowance incentives …maybe $60k? Do you like it?
Same route here but with the handling pack. Immediately removed the extra chin spoiler and Gurney flap and got PS 4S tires, the last in an effort to avoid dying if it rains (Cup 2 are basically racing slicks). Love this thing.
I’m an avid YT watcher of all things. I’m a SUPER avid YT watcher of car reviews and all things Mustang. The single best bang for buck coupled with reliability on the planet… You sir, did an excellent job. This is the first video I’ve seen you in and well done! BTW, born and raised in So Cal and lived in L.A. up to SB for school. We’re you in SLO? SB?
What a great and informational video! I'll be test driving a Mustang GT Premium tomorrow, but I'm seriously considering pulling the trigger on the Mach 1. I specced a Mach 1 to my liking for around $55K so it wouldn't be that much more from what I expected to pay for the GT Premium. Your daughter is adorable!!
@@internetbrandsautogroup3826 It went pretty well. I was going to place a factory order for the Mach 1, but they wanted $10K over MSRP 😬. Even for a regular GT they wanted a $3K dealer mark up. I think I'll just wait and see what happens in the next few months.
Ohh man this is good material. I think I watched everything on YT about this car and you are the best 👌 I can't wait for my Mach 1. I ordered in may in Europe. First they told me it will come in September, but now I have info that I need to wait probably to the end of January 🙄 too long
@@kenhu2786 Torture? No thats not inhuman 😉 I sell may old car in september and now im like zombie. Good news is my Mach 1 is on the ship to Europe. The new year can be exciting for me
Yup. Just as smooth as any other 2021 Mustang, although the Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires are loud on highways and wear out quickly. So if you snag the handling pack, you might want to get Pilot Sport 4S or All Season 4 tires instead. Cheers.
You can get the Mach 1 appearance package without the handling package, however: Ford originally stated you could only get a mach 1 with the appearance package along with the handling package in the fighter jet grey. This seems like a better buy but 65K for a non Shelby and a dealer markup makes this car $75K. I agree with you, the C8 Corvette with some Bells and Whistles is a better buy, a ZLI ILE is around 72K, and 2SS ILE is around 53K Would rather get a stock GT 500 FOR 74K.
Ohhhh, good to know re: the apperance, I guess i was just thinking of those org press releases. And I'm with you on a GT500 for mid-70s for sure. Cheers.
Ford dealership in Des Moines, IA will sell Mach 1 at INVOICE. Yes, invoice. They've sold 120+ already lol. Just search up " Mustang6g forum Mach invoice" for how to get in contact with the dealership manager.
@@JCTiggs1 Also, I can't seem to find it but I saw your comment about the 5.4 second 0-60 time and figured I'd try to explain it the best I could. Primarily the delay was caused by 4 reasons, IMHO: 1) Most places report times with a 1-foot rollout, mine was GPS based, 2) I used launch control and tried my best but I'm sure a better driver could do it quicker, so #drivermod -- then again, me in my Boss was faster by a half second, 3) Ford re-geared the MT82 in 2018 so 2011-17 MT-82s have better gearing in lower gears for acceleration, 4) tires... the Pirellis lost traction off the line every time So, I don't claim to be a great driver, but i think it's an honest benchmark bc it's all me vs me on the same roads in rear-world conditions.
@@internetbrandsautogroup3826 Yeah I'm aware of the MT82 gearing on the 2018+.. terrible decision by Ford. Wish they would just switch to the Tremec hopefully for the S650 Mustang. I have a 2019 GT with the 10R80 for that very reason. I would love to get back into a manual at some point. In my region a base Mach 1 600A is $14k more MSRP vs equally equipped GT 301A PP with MagneRide ($68100 vs 54200 CAD). 😒
No, sticking with the Boss 302 for now. But we did also put an LS3 in a Buick Roadmaster wagon so life is fast in many fun ways (that full build is available over in the channel's playlists)
Ford is definitely full of crap. Shame on them for incorporating a Chinese transmission into the Mustang GT. A Tremec manual transmission should be standard on the Mustang GT.

Very kind of you to say. Thanks for the positivity. And enjoy your Mach 1 when you get it!!!

Congrats on the impeding M1. Enjoy!

I fell in love 😍 with the 5.0 after test driving one hi rev almost 8k n talk about their top end speed n I’m a Chevy guy
I enjoy both brands as well, but there's something extra magical about the way a dual overhead cam engine revs. :D
There is no better sidekick on any other car channel I’ve ever paid attention to! :-) Your daughter for the win!
Hahaha, I agree, and thank you.
I think the mach 1 with Tremec makes a bit more sense, that’s what sets it apart imo
I love the mach1 but I also love your intro music, that is lit!
Bought the car without the handling package, but with the premium package and the manual transmission. This car is such a GREAT cruiser!
Heck yeah, man, congrats! What color?
@@internetbrandsautogroup3826 Thanks! Shadow black.

@@HankNinja congrats!

thank you for the kind words. the editorial review was captured mostly in the Angeles Crest National Forest.
fighter jet grey with the orange calipers, handling package with recaros and 6spd tremec = best configuration for 2021 Mach 1.
I'm personally a red-car-guy at heart, but I'm not gonna argue with your pick either :)
It my 2022 version to start production 9-26-22. Sooner than they said Can’t wait for it
congrats!

@@technohelp21 Oh, man, good luck. Bad times for buying any cars and trucks :(
I got lucky, i'm getting the fully loaded, with the handling package and all the bells and whiles for 59K. pretty excited about that
Heck yeah, congrats!!!
Great review man.

Appreciate the kind words and best of luck waiting for your Mach 1 to arrive. You're going to love it!
the same, waiting till January is an absolute torture….
@@kenhu2786 Torture? No thats not inhuman 😉 I sell may old car in september and now im like zombie. Good news is my Mach 1 is on the ship to Europe. The new year can be exciting for me
Nice review! I want that TREMEC manual transmission
Yeah, buddy. Can't wait to test out that version too.
I got this car in manual this past week. The transmission feels rock solid and is absolutely a dream to use!
I love mine👍🏻👍🏻
Congrats on snagging one. Never let it go :)
Twister 🍊 with Elite & Handling Package please (TREMEC of course)
yep best handling Mustang ever!!
Would you recommend this Mach 1 as a daily driver???
Yup. Just as smooth as any other 2021 Mustang, although the Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires are loud on highways and wear out quickly. So if you snag the handling pack, you might want to get Pilot Sport 4S or All Season 4 tires instead. Cheers.
@@internetbrandsautogroup3826 thank you!
Hey man! I have a 2021 Mach 1 in Shadow Black and I live in the East SF Bay Area! Lets get together and do a direct comparison!
I'd love to, sir, but, alas, this loaner went back to Ford a month ago. But if you're ever in LA, I'd be happy to have a look at yours :)
we need a Boss302 series for Gen.6. Maybe in 2024?
I would love to see another Boss before our all-electric future. Fingers crossed.
You can get the Mach 1 appearance package without the handling package, however: Ford originally stated you could only get a mach 1 with the appearance package along with the handling package in the fighter jet grey.

Another excellent review Michael, keep up the good work 👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸
Thanks 👍
That color is a deal breaker
I think ford will get rid of the mt82 in 2023 , we can only hope they go with Tremec .
Fingers crossed!
That baby was precious!
Miss my 07GT so much. Nice job raising your daughter right.
Haha, thanks man and I hope you find another Mustang in your future.
I think you're in error about the 1000 gas guzzler tax. That tax is for the manual transmission models.
You'll have to take it up with Ford -- they're the ones who listed it on the window sticker.
But I've been wrong before so it wouldn't be the first time, lol.
Did you ever get a Mach 1?
No, sticking with the Boss 302 for now. But we did also put an LS3 in a Buick Roadmaster wagon so life is fast in many fun ways (that full build is available over in the channel's playlists)
Ford is definitely full of crap. Shame on them for incorporating a Chinese transmission into the Mustang GT. A Tremec manual transmission should be standard on the Mustang GT.
I wish the Tremec was standard as well.
Just pay for mine $70k
…🥂🤙
HMMPH still a Demon guy…
different strokes for different folks :) I've driven the Red-Eye, but not the Demon. Crazy torque and I love the blower sound!
WAAYYYY too much money at that point!! Almost GT500 price for about 6-7K more!!
Great point. I'd try to spec one of these in the upper 50s, low 60s, personally. That said, it doesn't take much for a 500 to cost $80K
Not really. GT500 is 77k... Mach 1 goes up to 63k..
automatics go straight to the garbage.
