oh man a Mach1 w/ 5.2 Ford Performance Coyote with tremec tranny would be so cool! While I like the idea of 8250rpm, I'd rather have the CPC with better torque, less vibration, and more hp than the voodoo.

I like the way you think, and I'd jump on that car with both feet. I'd probably have to have a manual trans though, and I'd like 19s in the front and 20s in the rear. Wide rear tires so it'll hook.Depends what it's based on and the spec, but I'd imagine you're in the ballpark.
My ideal would be:
5.2 CPC V8 (475hp / 430lb/ft)
10-speed auto option
MagneRide suspension
Premium/Premier Trim (leather & suede with Mach 1 detailing)
20" 5 spoke wheels (influenced by the '04 Mach 1 design)
Dual (active) exhaust
Unique front/rear fascias
I'd be prepared to wait for the '18MY, if it comes with the facelift.
I'd pay $45k for that :ford:
I dunno. For me, if it doesn't have a shaker hood it isn't a Mach 1.I think that's spot on for a Mach 1. While I don't think a shaker scoop works with this Mustang design, I would not mind seeing a hood styled with some reference to the old NACA ducts. I think there is functional (air pressure, heat venting) reason to include these.
While I absolutely loved the shaker scoop on my '03, other Mach 1s don't all necessarily have them, as I am sure you know.I dunno. For me, if it doesn't have a shaker hood it isn't a Mach 1.
I think the engine development has been amortized already for something beyond the FPC engine. I base this on the fact there is a 5.2 block and heads for cross-plane crank in the Ford Performance parts catalog now.Seems like they made an awfully big investment in the Voodoo engine and it does not appear it will be used in any other platform so it would make sense to use it in a Mach 1 variant that's between a standard GT and a GT350.
I know the guy who made the hood. And he has the car... Let me know if you want more pictures. The car is for sale also.I think the shaker hood could work. There was one on this S550 at SEMA. It was on the ProCharger booth, but I can't find any photos with the hood down :(
Edit....found one photo, hood down!
I'd love to see more pics of this with the hood down if possible. Been contemplating doing this on mine.I know the guy who made the hood. And he has the car... Let me know if you want more pictures. The car is for sale also.
I'm pretty sure that's something he put together for that car.I can't find a Shaker system for an S550 online. Is there not one available yet or are my Google skills diminishing?
