How dare you compare Godfather 3 to Godfather 1. You need a boat ride with Fredo.

How dare you compare Godfather 3 to Godfather 1. You need a boat ride with Fredo.

Knew that was coming

And the recent Godfather Coda remake of Godfather 3 didn’t help.

I own a Mach 1 A10 non-HP coming from a heavily moded 15GT MGW manual.
I also have test driven 2 - GT350's as I was contemplating buying one.
I also test drove an A10 20GT
I needed a good street car with tires that would work in Chicagoland area year round.
Something with decent gas mileage, and something the wife could enjoy every once in a while, hence the A10.
Here are my thoughts if you care to hear them.
-GT350 is best looking and sounding car I know of, truly my favorite looking car of all time!
-GT350 didn't feel any faster driving around town than my Tuned 15, I was very surprised.
-Mach 1 A10 is faster than GT350 for sure
-GT350 lacked technology of the MAch 1 700A... I like all the bells and whistles
-Mach 1 sounds amazing with h-pipe res delete
-Mach 1 looks way better in person than in pics ( the whale look is the 18-21 GT front end)
-Mach 1 handling is way more planted than the regular GT or my Steeda street suspension 15GT
-A10 is much improved, especially paddle shifts which I use in Sport + mode most of the time.
-My Mach cost me $56,500 with 700A, A10, Magnetic wheels, red Brembos. which is way less than the GT350. And the tires will last much longer and throw up way less stones on your paint.
New Car and Driver magazine does a review and says not much dfferencr between HP and non other than tires.
A10 results:
0-60 - 3.8 sec
1/4 mile - 11.9
Haters gonna hate but 2300 miles in and I am truthfully very happy with my purchase and feel it is worth the money for a street car.

...and here come the ADMs! You got a great deal, and the fact that you actually took delivery is amazing as well with everything going on.

Ordered mine back in October, first allocation at my dealer. $500 under MSRP
Got it Mid-March
Chasis # 1424 which I thought was high but not sure how they do those

I'm pretty sure the A10 GT is also faster than 350s

You will really see the difference with the GT350 when on the track. That is where it’s meant to run hard. On the street it’s fast but a current GT with the A10 is very quick. It’s the gearing and power curve. The GT350 is geared for track and the motor doesn’t make as much power down low as the GT. It starts coming on stronger as you move up the RPM and keeps going where the GT falls off. The GT350 also revs faster. All better for track use.

A10 is awesome in the f150 too. Different purposes. Great truck transmission, though I'll take my sports cars in manual. I've had lots of good dct's, A10 does not compare but isn't bad.

Local dealer has a M1 sitting on the lot no ADM.

Can you emphasize or explain the technology that you are talking about in that the Mach 1 had technology that the GT350s that you tested did not.

unless you are speaking of the optional digital cluster?

regardless, if you would please flesh this out.
thanks

I had an 18 GT350, now have 21 Mach 1, handling package, Tremec, loaded. I don't track my cars.
I by far prefer the Mach 1 for street driving. I prefer the looks, low end torque and exhaust sound, and more deluxe interior. I prefer the Gt350 at the higher RPM end, but the Mach 1 on the mid and lower RPM range, where I spend 90% of my driving time in. If I were to have a car for track I would prefer the GT350. The Mach 1 reminds me of big block classic mustangs.

I was referring to digital dash, heated steering wheel, heated /cool seats.
And the Mach leather and stitching pattern.
It also has all the safety stuff standard so this is good when my wife or kids drive it.

More pics of that race red beauty please! It looks spectacular!
