2004 Mustang Mach 1 - One Take

- The 2004 Mustang Mach 1 split the difference between the GT and the "Terminator" Cobra, by keeping the live rear axle but adding a non-supercharged version of the 32V 4.6L Cobra engine with a trademark "Shaker" Hood.
Check out Felix's Mach 1 on Wheelwell!
www.wheelwell....
That cracked me up. Registered in Texas so he can do anything he wants. What have you done? K&n and tires. Lol. ..
Couple years done the line he might take a chance and change the shocks...
jwilh15 I think it was for the exhaust. Not cali legal.
Mark Mc Hugh lool seriously.my car is registered in CA and still got more stuff on it.
its mostly exhaust, I dont think you know how bad exhaust regulation are in CA
i think Matt's "be careful saying that" might have tucked a few mods under the rug. Dude port and polished the heads, that's quite an undertaking (assembly wise) to not do much more. Granted, i havent looked at the Wheelwell profile.
My friend has a 01 GT that he thinks is making 400whp... I dont have the heart to tell him its more like 250.
Dudeman9339 250? wheel? Na if its a stock GT they make 260 from the engine. low 200 wheel lol
99-04GT=225-235rwhp/man.trans
adrenaholic1 thank you.
it's not stock. It has magnaflow exhaust and slightly larger injectors, if I remember right. Anyway he was told by the guy he bought it from that it was 400rwhp and that it used to be supercharged. I would believe 400 on the SC but not on what it's running now.
Also he refuses to admit that his 3rd gear is stripped like hell and keeps telling me I'm shifting it wrong.
Joe Dirt ARE YOU SERIOUS!!! No wonder my s2000 beat so many mustangs lol. Dude proper bolted up w/tune 4 banger Honda s2000's are putting out 200 wheel all day... That is sad....
Matt drive my 94' Bronco.... Not great for canyon carving, but she loves slow speed pursuits.
Lol.
lol
lol
I have a 96 bronco :D looks just like oj's lol it's great nice ride good torque I have the 5.8 only thing I don't like is the mpg and the rattily ass interior
Yeah I heard it's a killer truck
Digging this up again. Everything Matt disliked about it was either driver error or could be fixed with aftermarket parts.
1- Says turn in is great but lots of steering input. There is a 12.7:1 ratio rack available for this year Mustang, that’s almost as quick as an s2000 rack.
2-He realized he was dogging the engine and after getting it up in the revs it “comes alive” Gears would solve this, and help it with better corner exit speed.
3-Manageable mid corner bump from SRA can be remedied with panhard bar and torque arm will be great for 7/10ths canyon driving. Add springs and shocks and it would be night and day.
So really Matt loves the car but his biases couldn’t let him see that.
Not a lot of people give the Mach 1 credit when its actually a very well rounded stang of its day. I had an 03 mach bone stock its able to hit low 13's my best time stock was 13.30 not bad for a 305hp stang give it mods can keep up with the new 5.0s do an Eaton swap and it fly's
Actually the 4 valve in the Mach 1 was not the exact same as the '01 Cobra motor, the Mach 1 motor had the cams from the Triton 5.4 for extra torque!
noredcr interesting tidbit!
TheSmokingTire also, the 03/04 heads are a revised/improved version of the 2001 C-heads. And another reason Ford used the 5.4 truck intake cams was so that it would make the hood shake a little more (so they said).
***** For what Matt wants his notch will be better then a terminator, Can't wait to see it finished
*****
That's still $6-8d more, which I would call significant. Definitely worth it if you're going more track/handling oriented, but for the average road car owner who isn't going to really push the vehicle's limits much: *shrugs*. $6-8k buys a lot of gas and tires.
noredcr A+++ a lot better than 01 cobra motor
Props to the free Edgar 2013 shirt
Agreed! Shootout to Achievement Hunter
Matt Stevens I thought I was the only one to see that XD
Nice review. I had a '98 Cobra with the earlier version of the same 4.6 32V motor. Matt is right the car really comes alive in the upper rpm range. First two mods, I put 3.73 gears in my car and a PRO 5.0 shifter, these totally changed the drive-ability of the car. Later I did some suspension mods, subframe connectors, control arms, shocks, solid steering rack bushings etc. The car was still a great daily driver and a lot of fun on open track driving events. I miss it.
I have an 03 Mach 1 I just purchased two days ago and it’s fun, but my 96 cobra with bbk intake and throttle body,under drive pullies,center force clutch,aluminum one piece driveshaft,3:73 rear gears,and a mgw short shifter out guns my stock 03 Mach 1 by bus lengths lol,I will be going full maximum motorsports suspension on my 96 cobra and doing an all motor big bore high compression set up,my goal is to have as close to 500whp as possible all n/a
The 2003-2004 Mach 1 was one of the best cars of the 90's?
+ShamusOGrady2 he said that late 90s one not the 03-04
Bodybuilder X They didn't make a mach 1 in the 90s. Unless he's just talking about the Mustang in general.
ShamusOGrady2 hmm idk then
+ShamusOGrady2 the engine
TrillMurray ,Yup, They are cool Mustangs man.
3:17 "Someone said that a Mach 1 was one of the best cars from the 90's..."
There was no Mach 1 in the 90's
Shout out to his Achievement Hunter "Free Edgar" T-shirt
did I just hear this supposed "professional" car reviewer saying something about Mach 1's from the 90's, and a 3V in a new edge?.... I think he also stated that the Bullitts outshined the mach 1's....would love to know how that is considering the Bullitts are only rated at 265hp, and are basically glorified gt's that only came in 2 colors and had some badging and VERY MINOR tweaks to make it just barely different from a gt, and the mach 1's are completely different 4v's rated at 305 hp....hell the owner didn't even know a whole lot about his own car stating the curb weight on them was 3200lbs, when unless this one had some weight reduction, they were 3400lb cars. Not sure I've ever cringed so much in 15 mins during a car "review" listening to one guy spout off one wrong thing after another, and the owner agreeing with him.... I can understand maybe getting a number off here or there, but Matt clearly has very little knowledge about this car at all, and even though he owns a mustang, I'm really wondering about his knowledge of mustangs in general. Hard to believe this guy gets paid to do this for a living. Someone hire me.....I guarantee I can drive as good as he can, and I'd make sure to actually know about whatever car it was I was reviewing. I've got a 2003 cobra with only 16,000 miles on it, but no way would I let him review it, because no telling what kind of wrong shit he'd say during that little ride....he'd probably tell me it pulled good for a 2v 5.4 liter with a turbo on it or something crazy like that....lmao
@@lollol-xp4mc It shows. Always liked when the rich kids came to street race back in the day in the late 90s and early 2000s when I was doing that. Mommy and daddy would buy them the newest camaro or mustang out there, all for them to get beat by a 10 year old at the time 5.0 that was built by me and my brother for half of what they had in their cars, because we actually had to work for our stuff and didnt get to go pick out something new off a dealer showroom. The funniest was watching a kid one night talk about how his brand new white with hugger orange anniversary edition camaro that was bone stock was the fastest car out there, and the pure joy I got from his face when he handed over the $300 we were racing for that night. That little notchback foxbody I had back then almost made him cry. He probably went home and told his parents he wanted something else because we never saw him or that car around town again....lol
yea this guy literally doesn't know shit about the mustang generations...as I was watching this video I was like wrong, wrong, wrong lol
Glad someone said exactly what I was thinking. As a 71 Mach 1 and 04 Mach 1 owner I was sitting here cringing
Would be awesome if Jay Leno brought up something cool for you to drive. Like that 1932 Alfa Romeo Monza, or just a good old P1.
How did the Bullet out-shined the Mach 1 when sales for the Mach 1 were through the roof opposed to the Bullet that were sitting in lots with some being given a mark off ?
And there was nothing special about the bullit compared to the Mach 1. The bullit was just another gt with a different paint job and different badges lol
Also bullitt ran for 2001 only. So how would it compete with a car that came out 2 years later.
@@petrolhead8851Incorrect, massively. I own TWO 2004 Mach 1’s. One (Azure Blue) is bone stock, the other (Torch Red) only has the stock block, heads and 3650) and the car makes 717rwhp/663tq.
The 2001 Bullitt was NOT just an exclusive color GT with Bullitt badges. It was a GT, yes, but it was more. The Bullitt’s came from the factory with Cobra brakes (just like the Mach 1’s did). The Bullitt came with a custom aluminum upper/lower intake that gave it a slight bump in power….unlike the normal GT that came with the plastic intake. (I used to own a ‘99 GT).
The Bullitt had lowered coil springs and a stiffer suspension setup compared to the GT. The coils were lower than the Mach 1’s as well. In terms of height the GT sat the highest, then the Mach 1 was a bit lower and the Bullitt sat the lowest stock. They all had different part numbers for the coil springs. The Bullitt was the first Mustang to use the 3650 5 speed. The Bullitt’s were built to handle better than a normal GT and were meant to be a more simple looking car compared to the normal GT (Think: Police detective on a budget…). The Bullitt was also a numbered car, there were two spots on the car that had a unique number printed on a hologram decal. One on the driver’s side strut tower, and the other under the back seat (driver’s side) behind the carpet. Ford themselves had a third decal for each car.
Folks just didn’t understand the Bullitt, and many still don’t. Some see them and think “Meh, it’s just a boring ugly green GT….where’s the wing? Where’s the scoops?”. Those folks just don’t know how to research to save their lives. 😂
Many parts from the Bullitt project ended up carrying over to the Mach 1’s. The brakes, the sail panels (again, unique to the Bullitt, even stamped “Bullitt”), the (unique to the Bullitt) shift ball, pedal pads, shifter trim ring….all carried over to the Mach. Originally the Bullitt was to have the 2003 Cobra rear bumper cover as well as the SVT built 4 valve but they couldn’t make it happen. The Mach 1 was originally supposed to also have the Bullitt’s unique side skirts, but in the end they went with the normal GT skirts….which is a bummer since those side skirts are as rare as hens teeth (nobody makes them anymore).
But to say the Bullitt was just paint and badges is flat out wrong. It’s a very original and unique car. For the right Bullitt I’d probably trade my Azure Blue Mach 1 for one. They rock.
The 2003-04 Mach 1 models were/are really cool cars.... they look amazing lowered down with an aggressive road racing stance and 03-04 SVT Cobra wheels.
One of the worst...most inaccurate reviews I have ever endured. The Mach 1 deserved better.
Watch more of his reviews. He's honest about all cars. The live axle sucks, let's be honest. Coming from a mustang owner...
It was pretty bad; usually this reviews are good. Bad day for him.
I thought the 3 Valve GT didn't come on until the S-197 ... c'mon Pony Boy!
FREE EDGAR SHIRT.
Lol yea!
One of the best road tests of a Mach1.
It seems like Matt was not really aware of the Mach 1 at all. The Mach 1 along with the Terminator Cobras will no doubt be the collectible Mustangs down the road. The engine in the Mach 1s are pretty sweet even though they were overshadow by the Terminators. I would love to own one some day and park it next to my 2011 GT no doubt.
Love that model mustang! I had one with that engine... Loved it! Great car! Never let it go!
Just got out of my 04 Mach 1 and I love it! It's really like a mashup of a lot of the Mustangs from that era. With some things that are specific to it. But my dream still is to get a Termi lol
Why do people always say the 4.6 was bad? Made the same power as the 5.0 when it was introduced and then gained 10hp in 98. Also made the same torque. Sounds great too.
The 32v DOHC "Cobra" 4.6 is a great motor; aluminum heads and block, and hand built by SVT. A custom "Tune", gears, and full exhaust really open these motors up. They sound amazing. With full bolt on's the are in the 300-330whp range. Not bad for a 10-15 year old platform.
No - Mach 1 motor not hand built. Cobra Termi motors hand built but with Iron block and forged internals.
For everyone complaining about his year assessment: These are done off the cusp. The one takes are just for enjoyment. 99 percent of the population do not really care about year specifics.
I think this is the politest video I've ever seen where someone pointed out all the ways that someone else's car sucks really, really bad. LOL Wow.
Mach 1's are basically the pre-supercharged cobras. same setup and everything.
How
And don't forget the Mach 1 had an aluminum block, not cast iron.
What's the difference and which is more reliable?
@@jaimem.2615
The aluminum block weighs about 80 LBS less than the cast iron block. Both are equally reliable unless you overheat the engine pretty bad in that case iron is more forgiving. The iron block used in the Cobra is also stronger for high horsepower modifications over the aluminum block in the Mach 1 but the older aluminum block found in 1996-2001 Cobras is about as strong as the Iron block. The Teksid aluminum block is the stronger one. The later WAP aluminum block is less strong
Hearing 3,200lbs = "pretty light" makes me sad LOL. I remember when 3000-lbs was fat. Now 3600-3800 is normal, and 4200-4500 is heavy. We're putting in all the horsepower to make up for the increasing weight. 400hp = 13s makes me sad. :(
What the hell do you mean by "I remember when 3000-lbs was fat"?? Back in the day cars were much heavier! The Thunderbird weighed 6000 lbs! Cars are getting lighter and lighter, and the New Edge Mustangs are one of the lightest Mustangs.
Ali Ahadi right there with you. :)
You can blame electronic everything, and power this and that.... everyone wants more hp, yet forgets their driving a pig...lol
PistnRods Depends mostly on what type of cars you've driven. Modern Mustangs aren't exactly "light" but, 3,200 is on the lighter side of the two-door sports car-muscle car spectrum. Now, if you drive a lot of 80s-90s japanese cars, like your 240sx or Honda Civic, then those will be lighter for sure. Like the guy above me said, "electric everything and power this and that.." More and more safety features also tack on weight as the years go by. 3,200 lbs is on the light side, even in the current Japanese line-ups.
Still these cars are pretty light for wht they are, with all my weight reduction and suspension I should be in the 2800-2900 lbs
I'm sure a nice carbon fiber or aluminum one piece driveshaft, along with 3.73 gears, and a lightweight aluminum flywheel would do wonders for this engine regarding the laziness feeling you were talking about. My brother basically has these mods, except he just added a Centerforce DF clutch to go with the aluminum flywheel, and he has FRPP 4.10 gears in his modded 2008 GT Premium Coupe. He has an aluminum one piece driveshaft from The Driveshaft Shop. Those upgrades really made a night and day difference in acceleration. His GT also has a Steeda CAI/HF Elbow, SCT-Bama 93 octane race tune, BBK twin 62mm throttle body, Steeda UD crank pulley, Steeda CMDP's, a Borla Stinger exhaust system and a Hurst shifter, plus interior and exterior cosmetic mods.
Great looking Mach 1 by the way! You don't see many of those around these days. At least not where I live anyway.
Lol the mustang of my high school days is the coyote mustangs and the S550's, hopefully when I graduate in the middle of 2017 next year I'll be able to finally get my slice of the mustang pie, I love my 2014 Jetta GLI but V8 is life.
The Mach 1 motor is actually the "InTech" V8 carried over from the Lincoln line. They run on C-Heads (96-98 Cobras were A-Head, 99-01 were B-Head) so there are a few key differences. The Mach 1 also has its own camshaft profile, shared with the Terminators. The only way to find an identical motor to the Mach 1 is the 03-04 Lincoln Aviator (they come with the cast crank and 6k redline like the automatic Mach 1s)
TL;DR
It's not a hand-me-down Cobra engine.
Wrong.. Flat out wrong.
Didnt know that. Thanks.
haha fuck that key release tab thing. I traded my 66 mustang for an 03 mach 1 and for the first few days I couldn't drive the damn thing because I had no idea how to get the keys out of the fucking ignition lol
Always loved this car! even today I think it was still the perfect in between, and I'd gladly pick one up over a new 5.0 just for the novelty of having it. nice vid.
I think I was just as surprised as Matt on this car haha, never really cared about this car but the first time you really revved it out my view of the car completely changed lol
Neither of these two know what they're talking about lol
Yeah it's kind of embarrassing especially for the host.
The host knows his shit.
Yeah, you have to rev those Mustangs out. Low down they aren't very impressive, but the sound and power up high is really fun.
I dont think you understand how much I love One Take.
The 03-04 Mach 1 was underrated. It actually made 330hp.
I own a Azure blue Mach 1 Mustang and it is a automatic. Factory Dyno is around 260-270 at the wheels. The 5 speed put down 280-290 at the wheels. So I would say 305-310 at the motor for the auto and 320-330 for the 5 speed.
It really didnt make 330 its more like 270
@@mistress313 automatic weak as piss
I had one that had 18,000 miles. 5 speed that bone stock (and I mean bone stock) absolutely nothing aftermarket dyno 298 at 5700 and 322 to at 4000. And I know a few more people that had similar numbers. This cars were definitely underrated as were the cobras of the same years.
the original Mach 1 is a work of art
Who put thumbs down? awesome car! Great video as always.
Don't forget, it's very easy to swap the eaton from the terminator to the Mach 1. Did it to mine, results are 429rwhp. On a safe tune
3v in a newedge? out shined by the bullitt? 305hp? friend with a 3v newedge? mach 1 from the 90's, my 95 newedge didnt handle this well, and throwback gauges go wrong. How does he have a job reviewing cars if he says the dumbest things?
I was thinking the exact same thing
+3.8drew LOl
***** the issue is he is acting like one, it would been perfectly fine to not say a word about the car, instead he made himself look like an idiot
+Dsgdrew the mach 1 does make 305 stock. but because if the more even torque curve and solid axel its quite a bit faster then the 99-01 cobras. although the IRS makes a huge difference on tight roads
white chocolate machs make 320hp and they have 3.55 gears thats what made em faster
TheSmokingTire Matt- 3V heads are specific to the 05-10 S197. 2V were in the normal 99-04 GT's. And fun fact for the 03-04 Mach 1's that if it is a manual it has a forged crank from the factory!
Matt- 3V heads were 05-09 mustangs with aluminium blocks, 99-04 new edge were 2v and iron blocks
The 03/04 Mach 1 was one of the best cars from the 90's you could get for under 10 grand? :^|
Yeah some with well over 100k miles are around 9 or 9.5k
Just picked up one in grey as well. No cats sub frame connectors updated shocks. It’s a hell of a car. Little engine massage. 78k. True love.
Dont hate on the 96-98 2v engine! I installed new edge heads/intake with a set of cams and it makes 275whp on a mustang dyno. Thats more than this mach 1 and only cost about a grand which isn't bad considering how cheap those cars are.
no, the engine isnt lazy matt, you are..
jared p Big ford engines have alot of low end torque. They are happy at 2-3 rpm.
hahaha i love how he started out thinking it was lazy until he tach'd it out once. He realized it pretty quickly, that ol 4v screams a bit. When you let them breathe, they rev just like a new coyote.
This is still my dream car
'04 Azure Blue Mach 1 is one car I've always had my sights on. Just look the look and color, especially with black wheels. You said your friend had a 3v new edge? I guess it was a swap then because I don't know of any new edge's coming with a 3v motor.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who feels like the seating position is weird. It really puts me off on these cars.
Did they fix the cup holder in the 04 mach? I have a 99 gt and they put it in the worst place possible, it's only useful for keys and change.
FREE EDGARRRRRRRRR!!!! :D Nice to see that thing spreading around :D
Love what you do Matt, keep on doing what you do so well!
The worst thing about those SN95 stangs was the shifter. Changing gears in that thing was like rowing a boat.
that dudes shirt is so dope, love to see another RT or AH fan!
I'm shocked by how little Matt knows about these domestic cars.
+1flynlow lol not me.
+dsavish lol
Do you have something against the terminator? Why is there no 03-04 cobra one takes?
Always thought an opened up Mach 1 was the best sounding mustang from 99-'18. Besides the supercharger whine of the 03-04 cobra, the Mach wins the ear challenge. There was one running around my hometown in my most obsessed SVT days (was a proud owner of an 01 Lightning lightly modded, 420whp) that could be heard a mile down the road and it made me a believer in the Mach 1 platform. Such a wonderful unique sounding stang.
FREE EDGAR
God, I love these reviews. Please, keep them coming. Thanks!!
the terminator was the oddball with the independent rear axle? wow, thats the coolest shit ive learned today
This guy is rocking a roosterteeth free Edgar shirt and it makes me so happy!!!
I love the black Mach 1s! This looks exactly like mine except I have tinted windows and FR500s... and this one is a lot slower.
Ford haters to arrive in 3.....2.....1..
Yeah when the owners get here you will get the haters.
Owner seems really chill, Looks like a fun little car!
Little? How is this little?
kma198199 It is compared to the current crop of pony cars. Seriously, the only cars I actually look down at while driving are the Miata and FRS.
kma198199 shiiiit you couldve fooled me that shit tiny inside, i know exactly what they meant when he said you feel like you sittiing on top of the car. my fox feels roomy compare to the new edge, im 6 flat
All these comments, and people still forgot or disregard that the Mach 1 Mustang was the only Mustang to come with "Factory" Subframe Connectors to stiffen up the ride.
Is it the spring assist on the new clutch pedals that makes it hard to feel the "catch point" on the new mustangs? My 2011 5.0 feels the exact same. My buddy pulled his off of his 2013 5.0 and likes it a lot better.
Did he just say 3v in a new edge?
Yeah. For what I know the new edges didn't have a 3v. I think it was only a 2v and a 4v.
That is correct sir. I just thought it was funny he was talking some shit on the new edge platform when he doesn't even know the drivetrain lol
I believe he was actually saying one of his friends swapped a 05-10 3V motor into a New Edge. Which I have seen on the interwebs before, but nowadays the Coyote swap seems to be much more popular.
3v engine was more compact and just as good as the 4v cobra stuff
THANK YOU FOR REVIEWING A NEW EDGE!
MGW makes the best shifter for stangs. When you have Eibach sway bars and some Eibach coil overs and it's a great handling car.
I had an 03 Mach1 with JBA headers, intake spacer, cat back, JLT and eibach springs and bigger stickier tires. If you knew the road it really handled the turns well. Power was close to my 2015 GT manual trans . weight was less too.
So what does the hoodshaker do?
Love the mach 1 great cars one of my favorite mustangs.
I am sorry Matt but the new edge cars have age really well and I like them better than the 94-98 models although I like the 94-98s as well. My dream garage would be owning a 1967 fastback, 1980s notchback, a 2004 Mach 1, 2003 svt cobra, 2013 Boss 302 and the 2016 GT350. I know I can only dream.
Oh shit Felix is an AH fan. Right on bro!!
Hey does this car have independent rear suspension ?? Did any of them ??
"I swapped in the factory brembos from the terminator"
Too bad terminator cobras had the exact same PBR brakes as every cobra since 95, as well as the same ones found on the 01 bullitt and 03/04 mach1s.
The only new edge with brembos was the 00 Cobra R
Yup lol only difference from the SN 95 cobra to the new edge cobra PBR calipers is the New Edge ones have 40.5mm pistons as opposed to the 38mm pistons on the pre-99 Cobras
Dick Steel They did have brembo rotors if I’m not mistaken though.
They’re actually Baer brake calipers, not Brembo. Cobras and vettes had them from the 90’s to the 00’s.
I'd love to see Matt terrify himself trying to drive my mostly-stock 1967 Cougar.
I should drive my Marauder out there from Florida so you can drive it. Same motor, but in a Crown Vic. It's hilariously fun in the twisties.
some 4.10s would really make the car wake up when your up in the mountains.
Good to see another rooster teeth fan who's also into cars!
Thumbs up for a terminator cobra!
The brembo brakes are not from a terminator cobra, they are from the 2000 cobra R.
I loved the Mach 1
‘03-‘04 Mach 1 with a manual in Azure Blue is my dream car
I would install subframe connectors, Koni shocks and change the sway bar bushings to urethane which should improve handling dramatically. As a daily driver I wouldn't want to go hardcore because the ride would be too jarring and annoying.
How do you decide to take the owner along as a passenger or not?
I don't live in California, so could someone explain to me the extent of extra rules concerning exhausts and stuff?
For emissions purposes California doesn't want you to change the stock exhaust.
But some mufflers and even fewer mid pips are ok.
Pretty cool how it's a Mach 1, but doesn't have the flashy Mach 1 stripes. Makes it look more like a standard GT with a shaker scoop.... I like cars like that. It's the anti-racecar appeal. You see this with other cars too- people take E63s and make them look like E350s, or take M3s and make them look like 325s, etc.
4.6 sounds nice when you get on it too! The New Edge cars have really grown on me over the past few years. Like any car, I'd still need to have a shit ton of work done to it. But with a Lunati torque cam, long tube headers, some lightweight wheels and stick tires, and a lot of weight reduction, it'd be a fun spirited driving machine.
***** Once you see how far even just the base GTs have came down in price[6-8k for a clean 80k mile GT] I dont know what even competes in terms of a fun drivers car
All the stripes are there, you can see them in the sun light when Matt is driving. They're just black, and the car is black, so it all blends together.
Joe Dirt Not a bad deal at all. Definitely will want to buy one down the road- if I can ever stop hot rodding box body Grand Marquis, LTD Crown Vics, and Town Cars. Haha.
matt, will you be in the northeast any time soon? i'd love to be able to drive your lexus, as well as get a shot of it with my 1999 LS. ever since it was passed down to me, i've become a huge fan of the LS, and would be very honored to be able to be part of yours reaching 1 million miles
If GM still had that "dumb" release thing on there ignition they probably wouldn't have so many recalls and lawsuits lately ;). I always loved these Mach 1's great value for the buck!
I'm interested to see how the revised s197 platform handles compared to this now at the time it was supposed to be alot better.
I'm a huge fan of this generation Mustang GT, Cobra, Mach 1, but sadly I can't say I'm fully knowledgeable on all specs... Anyone know what issue they were referring to at the beginning of the video (@ 1:00 )? TheSmokingTire
When the new edge Cobra came out in 99, they were rated at 305, but they were making a bit less than. Owners were noticing that they were under performing and had less go than the sn95 cobras
Jared Moore Got it, thanks!
VQSeries yep, no prob. I'm also a massive fan of the new edges, with the termy being my all time fave mustang(specifically the 04 mysty)
Jared Moore Sorry, one more question (again, please bear with my lack of knowledge lol)... 99-04 Mustangs appear to look the same. I'm confused on what's a "New Edge" and Terminator Mustang, at what year(s). Care to explain? :)
VQSeries the New edge is 09-04(being the successor to the sn95 wich was 94-98) and the Termy is the 03-04 Cobra(terminator was the code name for it when it was being built and that stuck)
finally a 4th gen review!
Does he mean the key guard plastic thing?
I like Matt's one takes. But he knows nothing about Mustangs lol. "I had a friend in high school with a new edge with a 3 valve".... Nope. "Jalopnik says these cars are a great buy from the 90's"... nope. Didn't make a Mach in the 90s. and the R code 4.6L 4 valve makes 320 HP not 305... Just has no idea about these cars. If your gonna do a car review its maybe good to know the car a little.
***** I've owned three new edge Mustangs, the thing that surprised me the most about this video is that he didn't know how much more fun they are when revved past 4k rpm. It totally changes the sound and feel of the car.
Yeah, its obvious that his old SN95 was of the 302 variety. I'm not bashing on him but he clearly isn't into mustangs as much as he is other cars, which I find funny because I think he drove a GT500 for Gumball.
Was thinking the same thing. I mean he probably just mixed up some knowledge, but whatever, these videos are great! Being a mustang fanboy I did catch the same slip ups though!
Hahahaa! no doubt. I like all the personal touches on these rides. I also like that the owners get to have their input.
***** Yeah its good to hear both of their inputs! Very cool that Matt being sort of a celebrity coming out and being social with the car community with random people. I'm starting car reviews (I have my first one up of my buddies 2011 gti) and I'm trying to incorporate owner perspective too. Not many car reviewers give owners a chance for input, which is crucial to making a credible review.
cool car ! sounds wiked , enjoyed that great ride
Matt, how should I go about sending you a car to review? I didn't find a "message" button on Wheelwell.
IIRC, you either FB message TST or email TST the link to your wheelwell page. Hope this helps!
Andrew Cathcart Thank you, brother!
