Moved down to South Florida as a teenager in the early 90's and Steeda was always a fixture in the car scene. The best Mustangs around were Steedas. I remember when my big brother bought a gorgeous '94 Cobra the first thing I did was drive over to your shop and buy one of your tri-ax shifters to install for him. Awesome to see you guys still going strong.
When it comes to modern automotive electronics, Fords PCM is one of the best in the business. The 1987 Thunderbird Turbo Coupe that I’ve owned since new, uses Fords EEC-4 PCM that also earned the highest reputation for being the best around back in the day. But even with its blazing fast adaptive functions, it still takes a few moments to adjust for optimal performance using the factory tune specifications to keep the 2.3 liter, turbo/inter-cooled, 5-speed manual drivetrain happy. A good example would be the times I ran the Turbo Coupe at Atlanta Dragway. Keep in mind that the T-Bird engine is the original 1987 version of Fords 2.3 liter four cylinder that first appeared in the early seventies as the 140 cubic inch Pinto powerhouse. In the mid-eighties, Ford added forged internals along with the inter-cooled turbo and installed it in the SVO Mustang and T-Bird Turbo Coupe. Even though the description sounds like the current Ecoboost Mustang 2.3 liter engine, the two engines have nothing in common. When I ran my old school 2.3 liter Turbo Coupe at the strip, I would buy a tank full of 100 octane unleaded race fuel. The PCM loved it and responded by keeping the waste gate closed longer and adding a little more timing advance. The power gained from the 100 octane fuel wasn’t noticeable until all of the 93 octane that’s required for daily driving had been completely purged from the injection system and replaced by the race fuel. At that point the engine clearly had much better throttle response and for the next two or three passes down the quarter mile the PCM didn’t have to deal with fuel related issues like knock retard and the elapsed times dropped on average of a tenth with each subsequent quarter mile pass. Bracket racing isn’t always about winning the big trophy and kissing the Drag Strip Dolls. There’s plenty of satisfaction from setting new performance goals and tossing back a few cold brews on Saturday night….and taking a doll home with me 😉.
Amazing car to break 11’s off the showroom floor! Too many bench racers and haters in these comments. It’s not a German luxury car, so where the hell are these comments coming from? The Mach1 with handling pack is an even better bargain. The Tremec 6 spd option makes this a real driver’s car. Awesome work here by Steeda. And no, I do not have a Mach1, I own a Carbon Fiber Track Pack GT500.
I ran my 2003 Mach 1 down the strip with 88 miles on the odometer. There was more drama because of the 5-speed trying to launch it on a crappy California track and stock tires. That seems like a life time ago.
@@chadkent1241 Cool. Mine ran 10.91 @ 124 with a 150 Shot way back in 2009 LOL. 11.85 @ 112/113 NA. Taking it tomorrow to get the yearly inspection sticker.
I love my super clean bone stock super high mileage(188k miles) Oxford white 03 Mach 1, it has ran down brand new modded Subaru sti’s check it out on my channel, I have two videos of it keeping up and beating a modded sti
@@StefBelgium super lucky! Congratulations on your future purchase of an even more amazing vehicle than we already have. I ended up going with a 10R80 because of all the shift fork and synchronizer problems, are you planning on going with the Tremec? I have grown fond of the 10R80 but this is the first auto sports car I've owned. If they would have had the Tremec in the GT I would certainly have gone with a manual. I now want to get a Mach 1 six speed so bad its driving me nuts 😫 to be honest I feel like they really knocked it out of the park with this one. I would genuinely rather the Mach 1 over a GT350 because of the tried and true Coyote engine. Don't get me wrong I think the 350 is a fantastic car but the Voodoo 5.2 seems to have some issues and I believe that this new Mach 1 really has the best of both worlds. Reliability of the Coyote and the capability of a really great track car!
@@nstylemotorsportsracing1471 My GT is the A10 version but when I learnt the Mach 1 had the MT from the 350, I immediately went for it 😁 so yes, I m moving back to manual 6 speeds now.
Scott did a superb job with demonstrating the magnificent new Mach 1. As far as break-in procedures are concerned, if Ford recommends a specific way then by all means , go for it. The first oil change for a brand new engine is the most important. The machining required for new engines always leaves abrasive junk behind. An engines longevity depends on frequent oil and filter changes and the first is the most important. So what are you waiting for ??? 😉
Hold up... Isn't one of the attributes to this car is that it also has the GT 350 manual trans besides the 10R80? I'd like to see that down the strip. Understanding its more a track car vs. the MT80 revised on the gen 3 GT's.
Wow, incredibly fast stock car. I built a Nova in the 80's that was high 11's and was considered a very fast car - nothing stock would touch it back then. This Mach 1 would give it a run for its money, times have changed. I have to say, though, it seems a little boring that you can buy a car that fast and need no mechanical skills whatsoever
Honestly went thru the same thing on my 2019 A10 boosted...went to the track and insta hooked on a 305 45 17 SS tire...60fts that took me years to get on other cars... Running 10s at 138-139mph on 93 on dusty virgin 2 lane no.burnout and 27psi in tires.... It was literally boring to make the car fast.....literally
I had the ford performance power pack intake/throttle bodys/tune on my 2018 GT 10speed which is essentially what is on the mach 1 to give it 480hp. I ran 11.9 at 120mph in 85 degree weather and a pretty warm engine with 1.9 60fts like this car in the vid. I think the mach one's issue is it's weight, and the fact that a lot of it's extra weight is in the fat wheels it rides on. The worst weight is weight at the wheel. But awesome car nonetheless, 12.0 and 11.9 isnt much of a difference. I was also at sea level so that may have helped.
Going to be fun either way. I go manual because auto's still don't have the longevity that a manual does. My buddy went through 2 10r80's rather quickly after boosting his gt. He won a lot of races but it's not worth it to me.
I got my Mach 1 with the auto. I've watched the race of the auto vs the manual and the auto pulls super hard. That 6 speed feels nice but it's just not fast enough.
Its funny, there are 1000s of engines built and immediately put on an engine dyno each year...pulled hard while being tuned heh.... I'd probably go a bit and dump the oil but on my self built race engines it usually gets an hour runtime, drop the oil....inspect and then let her hammer...if it doesn't develop issues right then it rarely ever does....
@@steedaautosports break in is pretty much a non issue anymore, the only areas where it’ll be a problem is real high performance stuff like high end bikes and stuff with super high redlines like the old n/a Ferraris, stuff where it has to be spot on point, the old gt500s has some mild break in requirements as well Like my Ducati streetfighter V4 had a requirement for break in and a limiter at 9000rpm after you do it’s first service you can take it all the way to it’s 14,500rpm all day long Brands like ford are not going to do this to something like the mach 1 or mustang GT. They do a pre break in at the factory by using pressurized air to run the engine, not only to break the engine in but too also check for leaks and QC. That doesn’t mean this mach 1 won’t get faster over a few thousand miles, you’ll still have some sort of break in but the days of old are long over
@@steedaautosports duh, what do you want it to do, blow up like Corvette whose ownes ignored the break in period. Just because it isn't having issues now, doesn't mean it won't later because you did something you should not have done. Anyone with any common sense would know not to do that.
Okay so all i have to do is wait for the green light mash the gas pedal and the car does all the work? I don't see any fun in that. I'll stick to manuals even if they are more work.
Nope. The cars coming from the factory don’t need to be broken in like the older stuff. Lots of racers feel you drive your car the way you want to drive it day one. They almost always are quicker than ones babied.
As this is a R&D vehicle, we intend to test and push this vehicle to learn any weaknesses off the bat so we can develop the best parts for you all! Of course, we recommend following the factory break-in process recommended by the manufacturer, but in this case - we intend to push the limit so you don't have to! Hope this helps. -Chris
if I’m correct, these new engines have already done what is called a “break in period” at the plant. The owner manual does have a break in period section ( more like a paragraph). It’s optional, mainly for the driver and the car to get used to each other, in my opinion.
Most manufacturers run a 24hr durability test on high performance engines in production. Essentially, breaking the power plant in. You’re breaking in the drive line when you get the vehicle.
From what we've seen, most 15-17 GT 6MT cars run about 12.8-12.9 in the quarter depending on conditions. Stock for stock, the 10R knocks the 6R into next week. Hope this helps! -Chris
Per the owners manual, there are no warranty issues running the 1/4 mile on test and tune days. Competitive track events like bracket racing can void the powertrain warranty however...I suppose they could call it abuse running the car like this under 100 miles. I just can't imagine buying the new Mach 1 without the Tremec manual. Nice car regardless.
My 2018 GT with a 10 speed auto and 3:55 gears ran a 11.66 at 121 mph at Bradenton, Florida. Only mods were a cold air intake and Nitto drag radials. Ran stock Ford drag tune. I don't think I would spend that much more on a Mach 1. Just sayin'. But, they do look nice.
Is nobody really gonna bring up the fact that a regular gt is running the same times ….? And has less power ? Nonetheless, appreciate the video! I love when someone shows us how fast cars are bone stock 👍 they are considered informative videos
Unless you just love rebuilding engines, you should never do any sort of racing before the first 3,000 miles. I'd love to drop the oil pan on that Orange beauty after he's finished thrashing it. My magnet is ready!
That's faster than my 16 camaro ss1 a8 car dead stock. I went 12.1 116.75 1.90 60 foot. Ran everything from 12.7 to 12.1 stock in 2000 da. Never ran anything under 2000 da. Cars long gone but great comparison
Well, for one, DON'T drag race a new car until it is broken in. It will always have slower times. Secondly, most likely the Stang has 3.55 gearing. Great for road racing, not drag racing. Throw in some 3.73's or even 4.11 gearing (if you can get them) and you will reach low 11's if not 10's respectively without any mods. Example, try and ride your mountain bike with small sprockets up-hill. It works for a minute at low speed. But if you increase sprocket size, you will go much faster, but will need more effort in energy. Same with the car! Physics.... Or, you can put high alcohol TNT in the gas tank and do 6's... But it will blow the motor and trans every time. LoL.
gears are not gonna get you from low 12's to high 10's. or low 11's. It'll take another 100+ horsepower for that. Gears might get you a 10th/second or 2.
Great job Steeda! I recently purchased a 2021 Mustang GT with the MT82. I know I know, “You should’ve purchased the 10r80” lol. I prefer the fun box over the auto for a couple reasons, I’ll be daily driving the car around town a lot more than 1320 runs. Yes I’m gonnna 1320 her, but I just prefer to drive my car rather the car drive me. Not knocking the 10r80, they are definitely NA monsters! But, still nothing better the banging gears in a Coyote!
I don't really get it why are you calling premium tires and solid 19" wheels - stock in terms of something wrong or "base". What are the better tires for that car than those? The grip will never be better.
The Handling Pack offers wider and stickier Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires. This vehicle doesn’t have that package, hence the “base Mach 1” verbiage. Hope this helps! -Chris
I dont understand how you do a burnout. If you are holding the break pedal and its four wheel breaks. Does the power just grind the rear breaks while burnout?
Ford has included Line Lock on these vehicles. When activated, it utilizes the ABS module to lock the front brakes while leaving the rear wheels free to spin for up to 15 seconds. Hope this helps! -Chris
@@jagers4xford471 😭🤣 .. as a previous Focus RS owner I understand. babied it during break just to have my garage full of white smoke every AM. Looks like mountune finally created closed deck design HG but it's tooo late. Had to cancel her for a 1LE.
It depends on the D/A and temp. Most Stock GT’s are lucky to do better than 12.3-12.4 (slightly better with 3.55 or 3.73 gears)in average weather. The better the conditions... the better the times get. The fastest I have seen was 11.80(I think), and that was in negative D/A, and it was like 50 degrees outside.
@@danieljohn4603 Agreed. But $25,,000 cheaper for the base GT 301A. I watched a guy run a 12.03 @ 117 on stock all season radials at the track pretty sure he had 3.31 rear gears and not 3.55 upgrade. I was hoping the Mach 1 would beat the base GT. But I guess weight plays a bigger factor.
@@331Grabber I’m not sure what the 301a package is, but according to google, a base mustang GT is $36k. I purchased my widebody challenger for $40k( widebody package is $6k). It was $43k out the door. So a base Scatpack is somewhere around $35k. Where are you getting your $25k cheaper figure from?
@@danieljohn4603 The 301A package gives you selectable drive modes on the base model. It knocks about 1.5 to 2 tenths off your 1/4 mile when you put it in drag mode with the 10-Speed auto. You can usually pick up a base GT for under MSRP by a few thousand. A friend got one for $34K. The Mach 1 is going to run you $55-60 K easy and dealers won't go down to anywhere near MSRP on a Mach 1. They're marking them up quite a bit right now. I know you get a lot of extras with the Mach 1 but if straight line speed is all you want in a Mustang the base GT will run with and maybe outrun the heavier Mach 1. How you liking your Challenger? Is it the 6.4? My Friend had a 5.7 R/T and it was pretty nice.
Yeah, so much for following a proper break-in procedure. No wonder auto manufacturers are skeptical about blown transmissions. "Did I race the car, no, never!" Irresponsible to make a video and brag about stupidity.
Of course we recommend that owners follow the proper manufacturer recommended break-in procedures. However, this is an R&D project vehicle for us. We intend to push the limits of this vehicle to learn any weaknesses, so other owners don’t have to. Hope this helps! -Chris
Nothing about the appearance screams “Mach” and nothing about the performance screams “Mach”. I’d love it if Ford didn’t call it a Mach so it would sell. My ‘04 with 100 less HP did a 12.09 with bolt-on modifications and drag radials. Just seems these cars were such a parts bin let-down for a Mach.
You just said you ran 12.09 with mods and drag radials????? How is that even an apples to apples comparison? This thing is breaking 11’s off the showroom floor. Absolutely amazing car. And no I don’t own a Mach 1, I have a Carbon Fiber Track Pack GT500.
The Mach 1 was built for handling and track use, not a drag strip. It only has a slight bump in power compared to a GT, and that's because Ford decided to upgrade the car for handling and track use.
Mustang Mach 1: “ouch my break-in period” 😂

@@LongStroke351 then why does the C8 govern the engine until after 500 miles?
As this is a R&D vehicle, we intend to test and push this vehicle to learn any weaknesses off the bat so we can develop the best parts for you all! Of course, we recommend following the factory break-in process recommended by the manufacturer, but in this case - we intend to push the limit so you don't have to! Hope this helps. -Chris
Thought it would be better looking with the history of the Mach 1
Wonder what the DA was? Hot Rod ran a 2018 10 auto GT to an 11.8 1/4 mile fronts at 45 lbs and rears at 26 lbs if I'm correct.
That’s what I would do! I would go out and I would flog on a brand new engine. Cmon guys
So the motor doesn't need to be broken in before going to the drag strip?
not in my opinion.
if I’m correct, these new engines have already done what is called a “break in period” at the plant. The owner manual does have a break in period section ( more like a paragraph). It’s optional, mainly for the driver and the car to get used to each other, in my opinion.
@@Mike_OMara that's good. Guess Ford doesn't wanna take any chances and let an idiot get a hold of the car and blow the motor under warranty.
Most manufacturers run a 24hr durability test on high performance engines in production. Essentially, breaking the power plant in. You’re breaking in the drive line when you get the vehicle.
Do you have a break in period before you hammer the throttle, or is it good out off gate ?
Any one know what a stock '17 6MT runs out the box? How does this Mach 1 time compare to a Gen 2 6R80?
From what we've seen, most 15-17 GT 6MT cars run about 12.8-12.9 in the quarter depending on conditions. Stock for stock, the 10R knocks the 6R into next week. Hope this helps! -Chris
@@steedaautosports thanks Chris. I'm in the UK and have a Grabber Blue '17 GT 6MT.. I really wanted a Gen 2 and pre facelift. Still love it to bits!!
what was your launch rpm's? in my 2018 bone stock with the Pirelli's i launch 2500+ at the track.
What's the point of ripping a huge burnout if you're running regular street tires?
Everyone loves a smoky burnout
What was the DA during theae runs?
I guess you don't need manufacturer's warranty anyway...
Per the owners manual, there are no warranty issues running the 1/4 mile on test and tune days. Competitive track events like bracket racing can void the powertrain warranty however...I suppose they could call it abuse running the car like this under 100 miles.
I just can't imagine buying the new Mach 1 without the Tremec manual. Nice car regardless.
39 miles? It does not need breaking period on that thing?
yup, about 39.3 miles of break-in.
@@LongStroke351 yup and in few months: "well my coyote engine blew up....don t know why" 🤣🤣😂
@@StefBelgium nooooo way! Drive them like they will be driven and you're fine.
What about break in on the motor?
we did, with some burnouts at 4 miles and 1/4 mile passes at 40 miles LOL
Mid to low 11s with cooler air and a tune..
After we do the first few upgrades it should be around that.
A little higher launch rpm may have gotten the 11.90 range. Also playing with tire pressure a bit. But I am sure the Steeda guys know that.
Did you finish the quarter in 6th gear?
Steeda, 3,970 lbs; is that with or without driver?
with a180lb driver, barely any gas
Very good!
In Australia it gets leather seats as standard. Nice car , great time
Nice. What was the tire pressure?
24psi in the rear.
My 2018 GT with a 10 speed auto and 3:55 gears ran a 11.66 at 121 mph at Bradenton, Florida. Only mods were a cold air intake and Nitto drag radials. Ran stock Ford drag tune. I don't think I would spend that much more on a Mach 1. Just sayin'. But, they do look nice.
You live your life one quarter mile at a time you fuck
As you get older you appreciate things like styling and nice interiors
Does the Mach 1 come standard with the Tremec T56 or the junk MT82?
The Mach 1 does come with the Tremec
Life lessons. Early on. 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣
Just blew your warranty no breakin period
Is nobody really gonna bring up the fact that a regular gt is running the same times ….? And has less power ? Nonetheless, appreciate the video! I love when someone shows us how fast cars are bone stock 👍 they are considered informative videos
Yeah they run the same times
I'd love to see a comparison from 40 to 140 mph
Judging by the comments I'm the only one definitely not content with a 60k mustang running 12s.
This was a $55k car, and many more expensive cars run the same times.
Unless you just love rebuilding engines, you should never do any sort of racing before the first 3,000 miles. I'd love to drop the oil pan on that Orange beauty after he's finished thrashing it. My magnet is ready!
Keep in mind this is the fastest track in the Southeast
That's faster than my 16 camaro ss1 a8 car dead stock. I went 12.1 116.75 1.90 60 foot. Ran everything from 12.7 to 12.1 stock in 2000 da. Never ran anything under 2000 da. Cars long gone but great comparison
Great but next time
Wait until she breaks in
After 1000 miles ouch!! 😫
Well, for one, DON'T drag race a new car until it is broken in. It will always have slower times. Secondly, most likely the Stang has 3.55 gearing. Great for road racing, not drag racing. Throw in some 3.73's or even 4.11 gearing (if you can get them) and you will reach low 11's if not 10's respectively without any mods.
Example, try and ride your mountain bike with small sprockets up-hill. It works for a minute at low speed. But if you increase sprocket size, you will go much faster, but will need more effort in energy. Same with the car! Physics.... Or, you can put high alcohol TNT in the gas tank and do 6's... But it will blow the motor and trans every time. LoL.
gears are not gonna get you from low 12's to high 10's. or low 11's. It'll take another 100+ horsepower for that. Gears might get you a 10th/second or 2.
You dont know what your tallking about, never low 11s gear change 4.10 maybe .4 max
Great job Steeda! I recently purchased a 2021 Mustang GT with the MT82. I know I know, “You should’ve purchased the 10r80” lol. I prefer the fun box over the auto for a couple reasons, I’ll be daily driving the car around town a lot more than 1320 runs. Yes I’m gonnna 1320 her, but I just prefer to drive my car rather the car drive me. Not knocking the 10r80, they are definitely NA monsters! But, still nothing better the banging gears in a Coyote!
Until the shift folks go. Manuals are crap from the gt. Mach 1 has the upgraded manual...😒😒
The Chinese made Getrag MT-82 transmissions are trash. One of the worst ones ever made. There are multiple lawsuits over them
Car porters hammer cars like that during those first 10 20 or 30 miles.
Getm in the back lot and lightm up.
Happened to your new shelby too.
LOL pound the hell out of a new engine... only way to break them in, eh, Scott? lmao.... ugh...
That's right! LOL
The engine likes it
I don't really get it why are you calling premium tires and solid 19" wheels - stock in terms of something wrong or "base". What are the better tires for that car than those? The grip will never be better.
The Handling Pack offers wider and stickier Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires. This vehicle doesn’t have that package, hence the “base Mach 1” verbiage. Hope this helps! -Chris
@@steedaautosports thanks! That’s interesting. I didn’t know about that pack. Have a nice day.
Ford had to launch the Mach 1, to replace the defective “Voodoo” engine FT350.
No launch control??? Still decent though.
No launch control necessary on the 10-Speed Auto equipped cars! -Chris
@@steedaautosports cool. I'll be in the market after I finish buying our dream home.
get that cheddar
I dont understand how you do a burnout. If you are holding the break pedal and its four wheel breaks. Does the power just grind the rear breaks while burnout?
Ford has included Line Lock on these vehicles. When activated, it utilizes the ABS module to lock the front brakes while leaving the rear wheels free to spin for up to 15 seconds. Hope this helps! -Chris
Evan=11.89
Michigan in April and Revin’ Evan = that. He is a multi time record holder for a reason 🙌
They sell a Mach 1 with cloth seats? Huh.
nothing to write home about
I thought the Mach 1 was manual
Comes standard with the Tremec from the GT350. This has the optional 10R80 10-Speed Auto. -Chris
There ya go, race and max out the engine while still with brake in oil. If I were FORD I would nix your warrantee.
😂 instead of enjoying the video, your worrying about what happens with HIS car. Enjoy the paranoia 🤣
@@Vosovogalsyncope Being a mechanic I understand mechanical things, unlike you. Like I said, if I were FORD I would cancel his warrantee.
@@jagers4xford471 OK Car Karen. Probably emailed the link to Ford direct this AM. 🐀🐁.
@@Vosovogalsyncope Nope I did it 2 days ago, cancel culture, remember.
@@jagers4xford471 😭🤣 .. as a previous Focus RS owner I understand. babied it during break just to have my garage full of white smoke every AM. Looks like mountune finally created closed deck design HG but it's tooo late. Had to cancel her for a 1LE.
You can beat those numbers with a $36K base model Mustang GT with the 10-Speed and 301A package.
It depends on the D/A and temp. Most Stock GT’s are lucky to do better than 12.3-12.4 (slightly better with 3.55 or 3.73 gears)in average weather. The better the conditions... the better the times get. The fastest I have seen was 11.80(I think), and that was in negative D/A, and it was like 50 degrees outside.
@@danieljohn4603 our base model ‘18’only went a 12.3-12.2 stock so you’re right on the money
@@danieljohn4603
Agreed. But $25,,000 cheaper for the base GT 301A. I watched a guy run a 12.03 @ 117 on stock all season radials at the track pretty sure he had 3.31 rear gears and not 3.55 upgrade. I was hoping the Mach 1 would beat the base GT. But I guess weight plays a bigger factor.
@@331Grabber I’m not sure what the 301a package is, but according to google, a base mustang GT is $36k. I purchased my widebody challenger for $40k( widebody package is $6k). It was $43k out the door. So a base Scatpack is somewhere around $35k. Where are you getting your $25k cheaper figure from?
@@danieljohn4603
The 301A package gives you selectable drive modes on the base model. It knocks about 1.5 to 2 tenths off your 1/4 mile when you put it in drag mode with the 10-Speed auto. You can usually pick up a base GT for under MSRP by a few thousand. A friend got one for $34K. The Mach 1 is going to run you $55-60 K easy and dealers won't go down to anywhere near MSRP on a Mach 1. They're marking them up quite a bit right now.
I know you get a lot of extras with the Mach 1 but if straight line speed is all you want in a Mustang the base GT will run with and maybe outrun the heavier Mach 1.
How you liking your Challenger? Is it the 6.4? My Friend had a 5.7 R/T and it was pretty nice.
Here come the break in comments 😂
Yeah, so much for following a proper break-in procedure. No wonder auto manufacturers are skeptical about blown transmissions. "Did I race the car, no, never!" Irresponsible to make a video and brag about stupidity.
Of course we recommend that owners follow the proper manufacturer recommended break-in procedures. However, this is an R&D project vehicle for us. We intend to push the limits of this vehicle to learn any weaknesses, so other owners don’t have to. Hope this helps! -Chris
@@steedaautosports that's some great bullshitting right there
funny they finally perfect the gas powered car and tranny just in time for electric to take over....
60+ grand for a Mustang with decals. Can't tell the difference between that and a 35 grand GT. Sorry.
Lots of differences. I'd buy it just because of the Tremec (I'm not interested in a slush box).
The car seems a little lazy on the hole shot and your reaction time is not real good, I don't remember you mentioning the use of slicks.
This car is still on the factory tires.
u notice the driver bouncing about in the seat lol
the s550 platform is junk. now watch a gen6 camaro video the driver is rock solid
You didn’t bring the good one
We had the Silver Bullet at the event, but since we only recently got the Mach 1 we were showing what it is capable of.
Nothing about the appearance screams “Mach” and nothing about the performance screams “Mach”. I’d love it if Ford didn’t call it a Mach so it would sell. My ‘04 with 100 less HP did a 12.09 with bolt-on modifications and drag radials. Just seems these cars were such a parts bin let-down for a Mach.
You just said you ran 12.09 with mods and drag radials????? How is that even an apples to apples comparison? This thing is breaking 11’s off the showroom floor. Absolutely amazing car. And no I don’t own a Mach 1, I have a Carbon Fiber Track Pack GT500.
The Mach 1 was built for handling and track use, not a drag strip. It only has a slight bump in power compared to a GT, and that's because Ford decided to upgrade the car for handling and track use.
