The 2021 Mustang Mach 1 Is Doomed - Review
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 12 ก.ย. 2021
- The new Mustang Mach 1 is an absolute weapon. It sits above the GT Premium and below the GT500 and splits the difference in performance and price. It has a revised 5.0 Coyote engine making an addtional 20hp over the GT with a revised intake, oil filter adapter, oil cooler and some tuning. The standard Tremec 6 speed manual transmission is lifted from the GT350 as is the sub frame. It has a whole host of boy racer aero components that are functional and provide downforce and and also smooth out the airflow to reduce drag. The $3,500 handing package is a must have as you get unique wheels made of cast aluminum that are 1" wider than the regular wheels. They're also 2lbs lighter. 305/30R19 front 315/30R19 rear.
Ford has packed this car with tech from the GT350 and GT500 into a more affordable and likely more reliable package. This is a fantastic track car and needs next to nothing to put down laps right from the showroom.

You keep saying $68K, but MSRP in the U.S. is around $63,000, you must be in Canada, eh?
I messed up. It's $63,745 in the US. I put that on screen later in the video
@@revmatchtv No worries, here in California with tax and license it will be well over $70K.
@@traxiii not to mention potential markup
@@revmatchtv Yep, the one that my closest dealer had, had been marked up $10K.
@@traxiii Yikes!
I'm 49 and I've been a Mustang and corvette fan/owner for 30 years, I've have a nice mix of Premium GT's and Z06's, and even recently a C8, and I have to say this Mach 1 is absolutely visually stunning. Every time I'd purchased a mustang, it's been a canvas that I attempt to paint my masterpiece with a lot of money in the aftermarket. This Mach 1 with the handling package comes PERFECT from the factory. The appearance is a perfect blend of sports-car beauty and beefy muscle-car badd-assness.
This car got LOADS of attention when I had it for the week. I agree - I think it looks incredible.
I have one and I love it!! I am 58 and drove a used eight year old 73 Mach 1 in high school. My thought is very few folks track this car. I drive it like a GT. It does not beat me up and if you are not on the gas it is not roaring at you which I like. At this point I don't need a constant loud car anymore. I think Ford targeted my generation and they did a great job. Could it have a better interior? Of course. I think it should have had a 360 camera and a better sound system, but all in all. I am keeping mine for a very long time. I am surprised how much attention it gets. Camaros love looking at my rear end!! I thought I was beyond juvenile road games but catch me on the right day and the Mach 1 says it's on let's go!!
Funny, all I leave in the dust are Mustangs in my ZLE.
I’m from the same generation. I’m 59 years old and I love my Mach1 with the handling package. It’s a bad car! Enjoy
My grand father had an older blue Mach one with the long hood. He drove it here in Vt with bags of dirt in the trunk, and winter rear tires. I now have a 22 Mach 1. Not sure what year his was as i was really young in the late 80`s when he was driving it.
I have a '14 GT500 and I have to say that Ford just makes one hell of a car. Despite its flaw, it's still such a fun car to drive 8 years after purchase. Yes the interior is terrible, but you can see out of it (looking at you Camaro). I have no doubt that anyone who gets a Mach 1 will love it for years to come!
These along with yours will be Collectors Cars in the future as well !! Lol
This is an older video....but let me say, I DO "value a v8-manual" and I DID pick one up! Less than 1,000 miles on it in Jun'23 and it is SO much fun to drive. Almost every review says it is a complete, sorted, engaging package and I agree. When these cars go away, our children will be BEGGING us to teach them how to drive and enjoy these cars. So happy I got one of the last Mach 1s (I cant handle the "2-IPad interior" of the S650). I smile, and even laugh, every time I get to drive my Mach1.
That car is awesome.. I’ll miss the gt350. I will hold on to gas powered cars as long as possible. Much love to the 5.0. It’s a great engine
The GT350 is a legendary car with a screaming engine. Pour one out :(
If the GT350 wasn’t a ticking time bomb I would have kept mine. In 6 months of ownership it went back to dealership to fix lose motor mounts and dampeners . Knowing my luck my motor would have gone next even tho it didn’t burn much oil with amsoil.
26,000 miles vs 20,000 miles? No concern at all.
@Jerry Olson seeing as they have piston oil squirters, forged and coated pistons, bearings and crank, and aren’t constantly at a high rpm for daily driving; this isn’t really relevant
@@AntilleanConfederation what year was your 350?
This sled is an instant classic and collectible. For those fans who loved the GT350 yet couldn't afford it {now faced with the flat plane crank issues..} AND wished for the 10speed auto option, well here it is. Well done Ford, you listened and delivered. 👏
Love the emotianal approach to the emotional car - thats what it is all about. No lap times, no 0-60 times, no rational arguments .. it‘s the pure emotion driving such a mach 1 and having a great time even going slow ! Very good review !
The Mach 1 is one of the most emotional cars I've driven in a long time. I think the Dark Horse will be more of the same!
I hear exactly what your saying about ev's. I'm going drive my combustion engines until the wheels fall off. The sounds and rowing through the gears is what make it fun.
These reviews keep getting better Eric, keep it up. Love the Mach 1, especially in blue 💙
Thanks man. This is my favorite review to date.
Wheels on the handling package (featured in this video) have 19x10.5 in the front and 19x11 rear. Base model Mach 1 is 9.5 front and 10 rear
Tons of videos of this car on the Internet, still: love the approach you took and the music you incorporated. Very clean examination of an iconic car. Thank you for putting this together for us. 🔧 ✌️
Glad you enjoyed it! I love the Mach 1.
Dude, the hook and delivery is great!
Thanks!
I think the rear seat delete is less for weight savings (although you get some) and more for ease of installing a roll cage/fire suppression system.
Update: I was able to order my 2022 Mach1 with Handling Pack back on November of 2021 from a dealer in another state for 2% under Invoice. It is March 2022 and my car has still not been assigned a build date. Hoping it gets built sometime in early May, with June delivery. If you want one at a good price, checkout the Mach 1 section of the mustang6g forum, there are two dealers actually willing to give great deals.
Unfortunately delays are everywhere
I was ordering mine luckily enough they have 3 coming in exactly how I want for October in the uk. As of Wednesday this week Ford have been emailed saying they are no longer making the Mach 1 as it isn’t cost affective.
Had to sell my 2012 Boss a few years back (they actually went up on price). I was looking forward to buying another one but I think they did such an awesome job on this Mach 1, I'm gonna have to go with the new Mach 1. LOVE THEM COYOTE ENGINES!!!
What about the gt350
@@bmacster1985 ... Love em but don't trust the Voodoo as much as the Coyote... Though if they stopped making them the GT-350's value with that engine may go through the roof in the near future.
@@roberthall6560 understandable
The reason why sales may not be good for the Mach 1 has nothing to do with EV's. A Mach 1 buyer has no use for an EV, however many, if not most will opt to buy a new C8 for the same money. The C8 has changed the market for anyone who makes a performance sports car that sells from 50K to 150K.
The C8 upped the game considerably! Competition is great.
One of the last of its kind. Beautiful !!! I own the normal GT but lowered and with wheel spacers and INJEN Intake so it is also awesome to drive on country roads!
What are the wheel spacers for??
@@bmacster1985 ...for the much better look and a better road holding because of a wider track width!
@@rolexr so when you look at the car from the front you see the tires sticking out past the fender??
The one I configured was a Mach 1 premium in Twister 🍊 Handling & Elite package $62,540!
Question. Driving in different "modes", does this change the MPG?? ((Driving normally of course in all modes))
Great video - I purchased a Mach 1 July 23 - one of the last brand new ones in the U.K. - great video Eric , love the car , mines Cyber Orange
Yeah my 350 is sleeping in the garage….but when I want she definitely comes alive! No more production but we’re not dead
Great review. The Mach 1 is a really well balanced car (think of a polished Boss 302) that does the Mustang proud. It has bucket loads of character and makes very good use of the parts from the right bin, that make it a blast to drive. Ford did it right....
I wholeheartedly agree. It's essentially a GT350 without the trick flat plane crank engine.
@@revmatchtv 4555er
LOL'd when you said "ONLY has the Coyote motor"....it's a bulletproof BEAST
The foglight covers are removable and ramair to the airbox and transcooler.
Thanks for this! Are all modern V8 Mustangs 32V now? When did that begin?
Thanks for the video
As a gt350 owner I'm jealous of those wheels and color.
The wheels are killer!
I to a gt350 owner I have a Avalanche gray car which looks very similar to fighter jet gray I love the rims on the Mach 1
Everyone who doesn’t own a GT350 is jealous of the Voodoo engine. I’ve always been sort of ambivalent about Mustangs until GT350 came into existence. That car is SO badass! I wish I had one in my garage.
@@ghostwrench2292 I'd absolutely own the Mach 1. One of my favorite cars I've driven this year.
Excellent review
I love my used 2019 Bullitt with 5,000 miles and I saved major $$ over a new Mach. Amazing cars! The more I drive it the more I love it!
Great car!
Nice work. One of the best reviews I have seen on these Mach 1’s. Thank you for posting!
Ps. I’m buying one this month ; )
I've been thinking about buying one since I made this video
On the scales at my local track Mach 1 auto's are around 3920-3950 and 6 speed car are 3840-3870. There's about a 70lb difference between the auto and manual.
Excellent review!
Excellent review! You’re right about the heavy nature of these brutes. A light weight 2500 -3000 Mustang like the original would be terrific! We can expect an all electric Mustang one day… that really looks like one not an SUV!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Lithium Mustang comes to mind though the following and in 50 years would devastating. This is why: California does not have a Recycling Center for Leaky Acids or other Chemicals Battery Packs, which POLLUTES our GROUND WATER
From Millions of Hybrid Cars and Electric Vehicles (EV's). From 8 to 12 years ago sitting on Junkyards. I double checked to confirm Jalopnik Article.
There are only Recycling Centers ♻️ for Electronic devices Cellphones and 📺 🖥 Computers 🖥
It's a great looking car but is there enough of a difference from a GT to warrant the extra cost? Love the appearance package though
Ridiculous comments about the turn signal stalk. It works and feels fine.
My '79 Fiesta S had an awesome turn signal stalk! It was made in Germany. It would go 90 all day long...on 12" wheels.
I think they did an amazing job with the new mach 1, im going to save up money make my credit stronger and wait for the new updated versions to come out for the mach 1 before i grab one
I thought about one of these, but the local dealers were marking them up so high (and not budging), that I found a lightly used 19 GT350 R instead for less. I think it’s great that Ford used so much of the 350 for the Mach 1 to make it the best manual transmission Mustang available now.
The Tremec is super enjoyable to shift. It's a wonderful transmission. One of my favorites for a high powered car.
I purchased a brand new 350R in 2019 for $64k. crazy how things have changed since
@@jaasun71I just picked up a new loaded Mach 1 for $66k. I often think about comments like yours and if I should feel cheated or ripped off. Those thoughts go away when I drive it though, it feels like so much more than a regular GT handling wise and it turns heads constantly.. also sounds great. Hopefully depreciation doesn’t murder us Mach 1 owners.. (assuming I don’t keep it)
@@austinjones8701 I just did the same. sold the 350R during covid. mach 1 does have a nicer interior with the leather Recaros and the new dash.
@@jaasun71 yup. On my gt I wanted the dash, trans, wheels and exhaust. The Mach 1 came with everything I’ve ever wanted from a mustang. I strongly considered a gt350r, the only thing that stopped me was motor replacement is north of $20k+. I feel much better with my 5.0 and extended warranty. I ride sport bikes so could care less about my car having more power, just want something fun to drive with good sound.
it is a shame that a muscle car cost so much these day. I do not think a Mach 1 should cost more than two base model GT. I would rather buy 2 base model GT. Drive one and store the other. The drive experience is not $30K difference. IMO
I have a 2021 GT performance pack with every single bell and whistle you can have, wondering how different this gear box feels as well as a little extra HP. Would love to get into one of these and drive it, as well as get into a GT350(r) and feel the difference. Not interested in anything not manual ;)
Having owned more than one MT-82s and a 2019 GT350, I can tell you the transmission is sooooo much better.
@@jmhutner jealous. The MT82 for the most part is fine for me. I'm not tracking my car, and even some back road, more aggressive driving it's fine but definitely would like something a little smoother and quicker.
Same here. I love my 2020 Bullitt, but would like to drive either the Mach 1 or a GT350 to fell the difference in transmission? I wonder how much to upgrade it in my Bullitt?
2:46 "Just get the manual" but exhaust audio is from the 10-speed. lol
No it’s not that’s the rev matching feature on the up and down shifts.
Another great video 👍
Appreciate it. My favorite one yet.
I'm buying one because soon you won't be able to. It feels like today is the last chance to get an ICE vehicle like this and I don't want to miss it.
The 10r80 Mustang noises dubbed over the manual Mach 1 is silly…. Car sounds great from the factory in “Track” setting
Great piece, Eric.
Thank you. This is my favorite video I've made.
@@revmatchtv I can tell, your tone and the video is just epic! Just inspirational man!
I have a 2022 mach 1 10 speed auto and i love it .has everything fighter jet gray recaro leather elight package magniride digital dash. Brembos breaks.
The problem is most people born after a certain time, don't know how to drive manuals.. It works out perfect for the people who want and love driving manual's because they end up being cheaper than the auto's.. I bought my 2017 Performance Pack GT with only 8,909 miles on her and I love this car.. I'm on a staggered set up I have the strut tower and the beef'ed up sway bar, but the best thing I like about my GT is the 373's. The only thing they should have done was go widder on the wheels and tires.. These cars make to much power for 255's and 275's tire's.. You need at least 305's on the back these cars and 285's to 295's up front for better handling.. I am planning on doing a new set of GT350 wheels and tires on my GT..
I'm late to the video. But I got my 2021 mustang mach 1 custom ordered for 7% below MSRP. I added every option and package except for the rear seat delete.
58k$ and some change. My window sticker was 63,495$ I dont think it's over priced for what I got. I'm extremely happy with it. I'm 29, I bought it when I was 28, and it's my first ever car that I ordered from the factory. I did get the 10 speed auto, because I have knee issues after completely tearing my ACL in half. I still drive a manual from time to time, but since I plan on keeping this car for the rest of my life, I figured the automatic would be better since I know I need knee replacement surgery. I'm just holding off on it, so that I might only need 1 knee replacement surgery in my lifetime.
The car is so fun to drive, and accelerates so fast. I absolutely love it.
So far I have gotten it up to 145mph. That adrenaline is exhilarating.
I don't know why but it was awesome when you poured one out....Literal LOL. Subscription earned!
For racing the automatic is better than the manual in every way. Gone are the days where a manual transmission can beat a good auto, even in the hands of the most skilled driver.
The manual is purely for driver engagement. And man, it's excellent in this car.
For that money, you can still buy a low mileage GT350 and have enough left over to buy a warranty if you wanted it. I like the Mach 1, (the Mach E is NOT a Mustang by any stretch of the imagination), but the price point is crazy. You paid the higher price for the 350 because it was actually a special car. This isn't really. It's a parts bin car made from the outgoing GT PP2, the 350, and parts of the almost unobtainable GT500 slapped on a Mustang GT with some nice stickers. I do want the wheels though. Wonder if they fit on a 17 GT350? :)
You're paying for the Tremec basically... If you are buying an automatic then might as well just get a GT Premium
GT350 is just sooo unreliable though, that’s why the Mach-1 is so appealing. I have a Shelby and will likely trade for a mach1 because the Shelby is in the shop every other week with something broken unfortunately
Thanks for the review. I have the 10 speed automatic in Velocity Blue. I was disappointed that Ford did not offer the leather with the accent seats. They only offered the cloth standard or cloth Recaro. No leather. if you, or any the viewers, have a part number I would love to up grade to the leather seats with the accent line on the top part of the seat. Thanks. 😎
I got leather in mine…
@@davidhesse6847 can I ask what interior package number you did? Mine was the 600. Thanks
@48reb
Not sure I’ll look but I think it’s with the mach1+ or mach1 something with the orange line on the seats but they are completely leather.The car is in a garage I rent in another town I drive 18 wheeler the window sticker is in the glove of car.I’ll look when I get home & tell you.
@@48reb sorry read below sir
@@davidhesse6847 Thanks. I don’t know why the seats are not universal for any rendition of the MACH 1. I’ve seen photos of the white trim in leather. I’ve contact my dealer and the referred me to Ford and they in turn referred back to my dealer. I know there has to be a way. Thank you for your time. Drive safe.
What about the headlights is from the GT-500? The GT-500 has the 2015-2017 headlights. They are a different shape
Super fun to drive. Powerful. Squeaks and rattle interior.
Personally I believe that a GT with the performance package, and maybe an altered suspension (slightly altered that is), with a pretty confident and experienced driver can do just as well even without the extra 20 horsepower than a novice. I don't know if that makes the mack one (aside from the external differences) worth an extra $15000.
You said it yourself. YOU DON'T KNOW. Let me help. MUCH better manual trans, Better aero, more power, much better cooling, much better wheels and tires, and much better appearance both in the front end and rear end with a different lower-front-end, different splitters, spoilers, exhaust, it's price includes the mag ride, and on top of that it's not just a regular GT, it a legendary "Mach 1." I optioned up a regular GT premium and it was $55k, and I optioned up the Mach 1 similarly and it was $61k. People have to look at the details of what's included, and the specific options, instead of simply saying why is it $15k more.
@@kevinbreese5739 . I get it. but bin parts are bin parts. Now if they're installed at production or at the dealer, the only thing you really get is a VIN number that supports the fact that you have what you have. But you're going to pay a price for that. And that's what I wrestle with.
The thing is a loaded GT is 53k. A well-optioned mach 1 is 58-59k. I don't know about you, but to me that's really not a huge difference for a better looking car with a better transmission and such heritage.
Kinda like a Sport Touring motorcycle. A bit heavy but fast and stable. I love mine.
FORD please put the Tremec into the GT and sell it for 35k !!!!! For us peasants
I love manual transmissions and would feel more confident driving the mustang with the tremec 3160 over the MT-82
was that a sound clip from a 10speed?
Holy crap...I wish everyone would stop crying about the shaker hood...it was a freak'n option back in 69' It wasn't a part of the base Mach1 package smh
And everyone forgot about it...
I need this car!!
One of my favorite cars I've driven this year!
well go get one
Agreed on the "Flaw" that's one of the main reasons I bought my 2020 GT350 7 months ago... Get 'em while you still can, this golden age of ICE engines is coming to an end.
Get the great cars now. Rare vehicles will be worth a lot down the road.
2:49 was that engine sound was really the manual shifting ? Sounds like the a10
Same on 5:14 lol
Gotta love the shifting sounds recorded in a car with an automatic 😁
Sorry! My editor took some liberties with the audio that I missed. He's a great editor though and this was one of our first videos.
@@revmatchtv I get it that audio is tricky and everyone wants perfection in the finished product. However I subscribe to the rawness of the moment and prefer some character! Enjoyed the segment Keep on keepin on!
@@revmatchtv Oops, my bad! :\
I have a 2016 GT350, a real gem, I will keep my car!
Great car. Obviously better than the regular GT in a lot of important ways, and better looking...but DAMN that's a massive price increase, and the regular GT is already pretty sweet. If they offered that Tremec in the GT Premium, I'd definitely stick with that. Since they don't....I'm really tempted to splurge for the Mach.
Honestly the 10 Speed is what I ended up going with on my PP2 premium. Hated the MT82 and that 10 speed really is the best automatic transmission on the market currently. Drive both and see what you like!
Manual for the win, for sure. Especially on a car like a mustang! The tremec is incredible and so fun, worth the money imo
Totally agree. I own an identical one and I love it over my 20 GT350R and 20 GT500. Great car.
This is a car I've been thinking about since I drove it!
Jim can you tell me why you like it more than your GT350R? I’m shopping both and can’t decide! I love Shelby’s but I know the voodoo has issues but it’s also unique and might hold its value for that and the Shelby name. But I also really like the Mach 1
The end almost made me cry. :(
Sure hope these kinds of cars are around when im able to get one. 22 in college, still got a lot of work to do
Save up and become an entrepreneur!
How do you say I'm a beach without saying you're a beach? Listen to this video
You need to take a closer look at the Red 1969 Mach 1 in your video. Looks like my first new car. (1969 Red with gold side strips Mach I. 351 Windsor 4V with a fixed and closed scoop that I open after purchasing a under hood vacuum ram air). So that's a fixed scoop. Not a shaker that poked through the hood and was on most CJs. By the way. The plastic you pointed out on the door I believe was a speaker. Regarding new interior. I think when Ford redesigns the Mustang from the S550 to the S650. The interior will be included in that redesign. Regarding the turn signal stalk. Really? Even with your few complaints. I enjoyed your test drive. Regarding EV. Stellantis announced Dodge will be dropping their big Hemis of which I own and drive in a 2018 Chrysler 300C 5.7 Hemi, to hybrid and EV Chargers, Challengers and possibly a new estimated 1300 horsepower Cuda that will have an MSRP around $130,000. I'm keeping my Chrysler with a few bolt on mods and waiting to see what the S650 Mustang GT becomes. With the current administration. I feel that the EV push will begin being felt by the end of 2024. I Know I've been long winded, but I read a car magazine article which I'll not name. Their Hellcat Charger test car when driven extremely hard can empty it's gas tank in 11-Minutes. Wow. A statement for the need of EVs.
Is anyone else having BAD inside shoulder wear on the front tires with the factory spec street toe alignment? I didnt even get 5000 kms on these cup2's... local dealership says this is NORMAL and i should plan to buy new tires every 3000 kms if im going to daily drive it...
Your sound bite engine sounds in some of your accelerations are from the auto trans aren’t they? I can hear the difference….
100% correct… why they did this makes zero sense because the Mach 1 sounds great in “Track”
1971-1973 best shape ever
Why do u say the headlights are from a gt500 they are just standard headlights, and why not give the exact mm for the tire width instead of estimating inchea
You’re right about the cheap interiors on all the Mustangs (except the Mach E) even the higher priced models like this one. Customer expectations are very low though but still I’m disappointed because Ford is capable of doing it right! I guess to make upscale luxury interiors on these cars would draw negativity due to higher pricing. Sadly we’ll never see a beautiful interior without the hard plastic in a real Mustang!
The Mach E is built in Mexico. The GT has an esepcially nice interior. Ford could do better, but unfortunatley they love to cost cut on areas that are very visible.
@@revmatchtv 👍🏻
When you can no longer buy an internal combustion engined car, the price of the old ones will skyrocket. Especially V8 powered performance cars.
I think the S650 will be the last fully ICE Mustang. We’ve got about 10 years is my guess.
Those aren’t fog lamp holes, they’re cannon ports. It’s a pirate ship!
It's so underrated
Decent car, priced too high at 63K.
Unfortunately, there are very few people under 40 who can drive a stick and even fewer who know what “heel and toe” is.
You’re right about the interior. If this car had the electric Mustang’s interior or a Lincoln interior, I’d buy it.
I’m at the age where I’ll happily pay for a nice interior.
Lastly, very few people are ever going to track their Mach One.
Definitely expensive. Most people can't heel and toe, much less drive manual. The interior is definitely getting old. It feels solid, but just cheap materials. Most people never track their cars of course, but you can definitely take this to the track.
long live the horse
What sport car would you recommend. The Mach 1, Camaro small inside and heavy and over priced. Hell cat fat way to expensive.
Cool car ! I think that rev-matching and no-lifting would be a blast. One small question.. Camaro ZL1?
ZL1 is a great car. Just less practical, but technically it's more accomplished. I like the interior less and the trunk is useless. I personally prefer the design of this too, but honestly, for me they are both great choices.
Or the ss 1LE would be a little closer in competition
@@bmacster1985 Yup. Also great
ZL1 is in the GT 500 range. Supercharged 6.2 vs NA 5.0 ? Not really in the same realm.
@@thomasblankinship98 price wise its not . the ZL1 is right in the range of this car which is nuts
I’ll go ahead and buy a C8 Corvette for a tiny bit more.
I would too but the wait for a C8 is so long right now unfortunately.
@@appleiphone69wait where are you getting a c8 for under $100,000. The Ford down the street from me has one of these Mach 1’s for $73,000 after dealer markup.
god that car is beautiful!
Nice!
I like the new Mach 1. They timed it perfect by cycling out the 350’s and made them cheaper in the used market so now I can buy one. 🤣
21k to swap the engine at FORD (if you’re out of warranty) and the 350 is NOTORIOUS for oil consumption issues which require the swap.
All I’m saying is make sure yours is good or under warranty. Mike sat for 3 months while the dealer swapped it. (Perfect with the gen 2 motor though).
Solid review. I had a '19 Bullitt and, having never owned a Mach 1 in my long Mustang career, would've preferred it over the Bullitt. It's the ultimate of the S550 gen.
Why'd you get rid of the Bullitt?
@@JimS870 I too had a 19 Bullitt and sold it with 900 mile .I also have an 18 10 Performance pack which i kept ..the bullitt was a dissapointment in performance due to the gear ratios in the MT-82 D4 it just cant hold a candle to the A10!!!!
I'll keep my Manual 2018 GT. It's not a 20 hp increase over a stock 2018 GT. It's only 10 hp over a 2018 GT. Definitely not worth the price to upgrade from a performance perspective.
We looked at the Mach e and the Mustang Mach 1 back to back. Both stickered at $53k. The Mustang Mach 1 interior was vastly superior to the Mach e. The driving experience was complete with the Mustang Mach 1 which included the V8 sound and feel. The Mach e was sterile.
Quite different vehicles with a rather similar name.
You are comparing apples to oranges. First clue, one makes noise and the other one doesn’t.
They are not even remotely comparable. A much more desirable variation of the Mustang would be a European body style called a "shooting brake". Keep the v8 and manual transmission. Lose the backseat in exchange for a flat cargo floor and add a rear liftgate.
EVs suck !
@@mr.wilson8340 Ford considered them comparable when they applied the Mustang name to the new ev product to hopefully inspire confidence. Sad.
American muscle is the best. V8, rear-wheel, manual transmission, 2 door.
no probs
For that price you can basically get a ZL1. Game over at that point
Love it.
Love The Mach 1, It's A Great Deal For,Bang For The Buck,,But I'm Getting Ready to Get A Used,Shelby GT,350 ,2018 ,That Voodoo Engine is The Ultimate Rev Machine.FOMOCO..Like Back in the Day,Ford Had A Better Idea!! BLUE OVAL BRAT.
Put that 5.0 in the Bronco to compete with the Wrangler 392.
And the gt500’s 5.2 sc in the explorer to compete with the hellcat Durango just for s and g’s
Thank you for pointing out the interior on these mustangs being underwhelming.
04:03 am I the only one that thought this part was hilarious?
Mustang drivers don't need turn signals. My mom does but I don't
Crazy how expensive cars have gotten these days. Especially Mustangs. ☹
Tell me about it
I've been a Mustang fan for years I remember roaming the Lots at my local Ford dealership back in the late 80s early 90s you could get a fully loaded Mustang GT five speed car for around $15,000. Car prices are absolutely insane these days! Along with everything else.
@@davedave2882 I hear ya. I remember looking forward to buying one someday but inflation has outpaced my income unfortunately. I was closer to being able to buy one 20 years ago than today. 🤷♂️
@@Icebergslim333 man I understand completely. After paying outrageous amounts of Child Support on 2kids for about 15 years and living in a small apartment. I work all the overtime I could. Finally after all those years of working all that overtime once my child support was done about five months later I was able to purchase a nice home and then kept my eyes open for a year on a dream car. I had to go out of state but I found a mint 13,000 mile Shelby GT500 Track Pack car. White with the dark blue racing stripes. 662 hp completely stock. Make sure you shop around. And in my opinion these new s550s are not worth the money people are asking for them.
@@davedave2882 Yup! I had a Fox body back in the day.
