    Thanks for the great review! You convinced me to get the Mach 1 as I have been on the fence. It's great that you explained that the Mach 1 is a comfortable daily driver, and doesn't beat you up.

    You purchased a fantastic Mustang. My first new car before college was a 1969 Red Mach 1 with a 351 Cleveland. The Mach 1 came with a black fixed hood scoop setting on a black full length hood decal. Not a shaker. Most shaker hood options were found on the Cobra Jets and Boss models. I think your beautiful Mustang's long hood looks better without a Shaker. This is basically a GT350 with a Coyote. Great looking Mustang that offers luxury and a large dose of performance. Personally, if I was buying a Mustang. It would be a Mach 1. Congratulations and enjoy.

    I just discovered you and your videos today. I know you picked up your Mach 1 a while back but belated congrats. She is a fantastic car in every respect. I, too, am a Mach 1 owner since May 14th, 2021. I didn't have to order mine. A dealership in Virginia near DC had one in the showroom and I drove there to get her. But it took an exhaustive search over 2 months before I found her. I lucked out because I found her the first day she was advertised on cars. com ...........This is my 3rd Mustang (2019 Race Red GT, traded for a 2020 California Special, then traded that for the Mach 1). First two were 6 speeds with the tranny you hate but honestly I had no issues. They both shifted smoothly. Do they compare to the Mach 1 Tremec? Of course not! But it's not a fair comparison. Although I had a Tremec in my 2016 Challenger Hellcat and no way did that shift as smoothly as in the Mach 1. That Hellcat is now a 2021 Hellcat Charger Redeye and, as most everyone knows, Chargers are always automatics.
    I almost bought a Mach 1 in Velocity Blue but in the end, I had to have her in Twister Orange because OMG she just really pops in that color and I remember the grabber orange 1969 Mach 1's and to this day I still worship that car (and in Calypso Coral too). I will agree with you regarding your choice of wheels, because it's definitely a really nice, sharp-looking wheel but I went for 5-spoke black because I just liked it better than what you have. TEHO, right? You picked the same seats as I have (no way cloth and def no way Recaro -- no power, no heat/cool, and uncomfortable) and of course the 6-speed. I have no idea why anyone would buy a new Mach 1 with an automatic transmission because the thrill of owning this car is the shifting, but again, TEHO.
    It cannot be overstated how amazing this car drives and handles. Your video shows that off quite nicely. And the exhaust sound is phenomenal.
    I only drive mine in sport mode. And it changes the dash display to something I like a lot better anyway. I took her to car shows in 2021 and I can honestly say, it was something of a shame whenever I got to the car show because it meant the ride was over until later. I never wanted to stop driving her. I am 5' 10" and i'm very comfortable behind the wheel. But I think much beyond 6' tall and it might not be as comfortable for the driver. But it's not a Charger or Challenger cavernous interior and wasn't meant to be. But compared to my 2017 Camaro 1SS I used to have, it's a heck of a lot roomier and not all the blind spots. Farthest I drove her was Akron area to Cincinnati and I was comfortable there and back.
    There's a lot to love about the new Mach 1 -- power, handlings, looks, interior, sound, speed, and much more. You can even race it stock and she'll do low 12's in the quarter. But I didn't appreciate that Ford didn't put Brembo's all around. It would have been the right decision to put them on all four wheels. No one would have complained if it raised the price a bit. Now if I wanna do it, the parts and labor for two wheels is around $2200. Also, hood struts would have been nice but you can get a nice set of aftermarket struts with FORD on them for about $100 and they're easy to install. Shock tower caps that say Mach 1 would be a nice aftermarket item to cover up the nuts and bolts. I can't seem to find the reason why Ford didn't go with the shaker hood because they were able to do it or the '03 and '04 model Mach 1's but the decal mimics the original and I like it, although you have to be super, super careful how you keep the decal clean or it will scratch or the color will be affected.
    Ultimately, Ford did a super job with the new Mach 1. She's been a hit at every car show i've taken her to, won trophies, and I have been so proud to sit next to her as people walk by and have everything nice to say. It's always so sad when I finally have to park her at home. I'll never, ever sell her, not even for a new Shelby. I truly wish you the best of luck with yours. She's a beauty in that gorgeous Blue color.

    Congrats! I had a 2011 GT and added a Vortech it was a blast and luckily I had no troubles with the transmission. This new Mach 1 has my interest due to the last year (2023) of the S550, IRS, 480HP, Tremec 6sp, digital dash and improved (slightly) interior. Not sure if the V8 and Manual will live on so thinking of ordering a new one to drive and keep. I hear nothing but good reviews

      The Sport Cup 2's on the handling package are terrible for a daily driver unless it's always warm and sunny where you live and enjoy throwing up pebbles where ever you drive. 😊 You can easily purchase lighter aftermarket wheels and tires for less and the GT350 spoiler is cheap aftermarket.

    Great review. As the original owner of an 03 TR Mach I would love to have the 21. But, I have a 19 PP1 car and the markups on the new machs are putting the car 2x what I paid for the ‘19. Hard to justify…maybe they will sit long enough on lots at those prices they will come down enough to take a legit look. Enjoy the car. It’s a beauty…

    Really only difference between this car and a GT w/performance pack is standard Magneride (huge) and the Tremec (also huge). But I bristle a little at "just a GT" when you've got the PP b/c it's SO fast and such a blast to drive. And buyers know about it so that "to just the avg buyer won't know the difference", uh, oh they'll know.

      I have to ask have you driven one compared to a GT? Because there’s no comparison the Mach 1 has front and rear subframes from the GT350, rear diffuser from the GT500, intake manifold, throttle body and cold air also from the GT350. I drove a regular GT and wasn’t very impressed the Mach 1 I love it. I’ve put 5,300 miles on mine and now it’s on hold as it’s away until spring.

      @@truckandroll989 that’s been my experience as well. Markups from $4500 all the way up to $20k if you can believe that?! No thank you! I paid ADM once. Way back in Oct of 2002 when I purchased my 03’ 350 Z in Glacier Pearl. That was the return of the Z car after about a 6 year hiatus by Nissan. I wanted that car so much that I was willing to pay the ADM. Also, I was 26… Now at a seasoned 44, I won’t pay ADM. I found a couple dealers in my area too that have told me if I order the Mach 1, no markup. I got impatient and bought a 21’ GT PP1 premium in Oxford white with the Showstopper red interior. I also had a 19’ GT PP1 premium in triple black and that car did not disappoint. I must say, the showstopper red really suckered me in, and although I do love my car, I am kinda kicking myself. I really wanted first the GT350 and then prices went bananas this past year so then I transitioned to the Mach 1. I really wanted the Tremec so im kinda thinking I really screwed up… Either way, great choice on your car, Velo Blue is the color I would spec too. Beautiful ride. Enjoy!

    • @OtisSpringerpilot
      @OtisSpringerpilot Год назад

      I agree with the above. For all of 2021 and most of 2022 these Mach 1s remained at 'over sticker'. At $10.000 over I think its a pass. Most dealers could move them at $2,000-$5,000 over sticker until later in 2022 and by 2023 I think MSRP was doable with a simple search? I bought a Dark Matter Gray, non-Handling Pack, 700A + just a few low cost adds ($450 dark argent 10spokes) for MSRP of $61,835 plus a small discount. Amazing street car! Smooth, powerful, and creature comforts - I never like getting out of her! I smile and laugh every time I drive that Tremec 6spd...omg.

      There is a method to my madness. Ive driven GT350s and unless you are tracking it consistently the tires/suspension are aggressive for the street. Ive already tracked my Mach multiple times and your average driver is going to be nowhere near the limit of what this car is capable of with or without the $3500 handling package. Honesty I bet most Mach 1 owners dont even track their cars so my vote is if you plan to drive it on the street with some occasional track use you are better off saving the $3500. If and when you want more put that towards the mods more specifically tailored to your driving style. This thing is no slouch on a road course.
