I think the 21-23 Mach 1 might just be the best bang-for-your-buck specialty Mustang we’re likely to ever see from Ford again

I'm glad you are happy with your purchase. For most of us the Mach 1 will never be more than an appearance package on parts that already were available.

I think the PP2 optioned cars are almost everything you're saying your Mach 1 is, but were available for less $$ and a better value.

I think the Ecoboost PP is 90% of a GT without the V8 and is a better value.

Sucks you couldn't get a mach 1 California special

This is only true if you take the A10.

We have upgraded torque converter that no other mustang has
Manual Men had their GT350s, Bullits, PP2s , now we finally got some proper machine.

I think the same about my 2020 PP2 the best bang for the buck, looks, styling & whoop-ass..

A10..................... BORING

I find clutch and stick slow and often challenging for fast shifting so I got automatics this time around (20 years driving manuals) to be able to focus on other things of the powerful beast and I love it. Yet I don't deny the perfection of manual, especially Tremec, for those who love them. Your opinion is your opinion just like my opinion is my opinion. The Dude has spoken Btw, let's keep it civil and friendly here, clearly this is an appreciation topic.

I see both sides of the argument and totally agree with both sides. Faster or more fun? I couldn’t decide, so…

There are some interesting discussions on that in this thread :

You might have to read up / down from the post I linked - it was just my quickest way of finding it

One of the main reasons I went with a Mach 1 over GT before ordering mine, and the biggest tipping point was that it was only around 5K more than the GT I had optioned out. Why wouldn't anyone want to spend an extra 5K to get that much more car, not to mention the name plate and iconic nameplate of it being a Mach 1. Just felt like a real no brainer.

I really like most all the points in this post and seem to hit pretty spot on with everything IMO.

I was right there with you. I had "built" a couple of different GTs on Fords site and was about to pull the trigger when I spotted a used Mach 1. Unfortunately, it sold before I could learn more about the. A buddy explained the difference to me, and I did additional research. I ended up ordering my Mach 1 at about $5k above the GT that I specified.

Trust me, the longer you have it and live with it the better you’ll feel about the extra 5 Gs. Not that the GT isn’t a great deal on a great car as well. I bought a 22 301a 6 spd GT with nothing but the BAP and AE for sticker at 44K even earlier this year and thought it was one of the greatest automotive bargains ever. I loved it. But I gotta say, the Mach 1 is just in a whole ‘nother zone.

Or a Mach 1 convertible.

Not to mention the 2018-2023 Ecoboost & GT both look like a catfish in the front.

I think the Mach1 might be the best Mach1 that ever Mach1’ed

Sir, your confirmation bias is showing
