I thought the gt350s go for about 60k to begin with, then add all that other stuff...

It's not adding.

The 10 speed is already coming. The cross plane will be easier.

Gear ratios don't cost more. And changing the aero may be cheaper.

So let's be realistic.

Could be a 50k - 55k car.

We aren't adding turbos or awd.

And by then it will be like the Boss 302 to GTPP.

The economies of scale and time. Things get cheaper.

But let's say the gt350 goes away. And then let's say the Mach fills it's spot. Then you've got a 50-60k range to play with.

Unless the Mach name gets repurposed like the Z28 name did. And then it becomes something more. But I doubt it.

I like your logic.

I remember GM using Cosworth heads on the Cosworth Vega. I dont know of any street cars produced by FORD in America with Cosworth heads. I know Cosworth has worked with Ford to develop heads for their race engines. I see GM as the first to use the new Cosworth heads. As stated, Ford has some really good V8 heads. I dont know if Ford would benefit much but offering Mustangs with Cosworth heads.

My first car was a 1976 Vega GT. I did see a Crosworth Vega at a Houston dealership. I believe the car was black with gold accents.

Well maybe my 69 will sell by the time this comes out...it's due for a replacement.
Not sure why it would need a steep rear gear if it has a 10 speed, plenty of room to do it there instead.
If it's like or better than a gt350, good luck getting it at invoice...

Hopefully the lack of a Shelby badge will keep the ADMs low or non-existent.

I hope the Mach 1 sits somewhere between a GT and the GT350, but based on the facelifted '18MY car. Something fully loaded in terms of kit, but still able to carve those canyons on its MagneRide suspension, and a healthy 475hp CPC 5.2 or 5.0, along with the option of the 10-speed auto. Throw in some Mach 1 graphics and trim, and I'd find it hard to resist

Who says its just the heads? Maybe its the whole engine? Ford has got a long history with cosworth so its plausible their working on something.

There is a Lhd mustang mule running in the UK with a cosworth developed coyote. It's the test bed for the TVR engine, but it could potentially be a test bed for more applications....

Does anyone else wish they would just throw the gt350 engine in the Mach 1? I need a Auto GT350! :lol:

Nope, I hope the Voodoo remains unique to the GT350.

Ideally, I'd want the Mach 1 to have a cross plane crank 5.2...........or, at the very least, a hi-po 5.0 Coyote

Whats the difference between cross and flat - plane crank?

Edit: NVM found an article

First off I found these on the whipple facebook.
So with that said what do ya'll think?

 

[Twin Turbo]

It could work.

A shaker hood wouldn't be a deal breaker for me either way, but that one above does look good to me

Right

But it all depends on size of shaker Ford goes with though.

That scoop looks kind of hokey IMO.
