This is the brand new 2021 Mustang Mach-1

[Amaury]

Not if you like turns its not.

I love turns but I also love going fast in the rest of the track. DCT is the way to go.... Hell, Chevy offers the A10 in the ZL1 1LE....

I am less than impressed. Its a nice package depending on price, but I will certainly have money in my pocket after upgrading my 401A, including transmission. This should have been a minimum 500 hp, but money talks and bs walks.

 

[Amaury]

Ford didn’t put the 6R80 in the PP1 and doesn’t put the 10R80 in the PP2. I’m sure there’s a reason for it. Do you really think they didn’t test the A10 in the car? Anyway the cars not coming for another 8-9 months so maybe there will be a change by then.

As far as the DCT, martinjlm just addressed that, but seriously a lot of you are griping about a price we don’t even have yet but you want a hugely costly DCT. Talk about smoking the pipe at both ends.

They did in the LE50TH but obviously it was more of a cruicing car and not a track car but the car had the full Performance Package setup. Chevy offers it in the 1LE..... Points to Chevy.

Unless you're getting paid for it, can't agree. Manual for fun and involvement over the few tenths of a second a lap it'll save every time.

remember the Handling Pack is like a RS package on the GT3 car and guess what?, the RS is only PDK cause is faster....

I almost think the m6 only handling Package was a gift from Ford for the purists/ same for the GT350 M6. It has ruffled some feathers for sure.

I’d never buy it if it was an auto

 

[Amaury]

Do you get paid to drive on track?

do you like looking at others tail lights?

 

[Bikeman315]

I don't get why someone would buy one just for the name

Bet you didn’t get the Bullitt either. Just a green GT, right? And that’s OK, this cars not for you.

 

[WildHorse]

Why do people feel the need to bash other people for liking the car?

Not bashing, I'm just not a FORD nut rider. I liked the bullitt, I just don't like this rebadged bullitt. Same bullitt engine, no DCT which woulda been a game changer. You can do more while spending way less money with a BASE GT. All you're doing is buying a diff cooler, new nose, MACH 1 badging, everything else is parts bin at a stupid markup + a we know it's coming dealer markup. But hey, if that's your cup of tea, sell ur car and buy the MACH 1, or just go buy a MACH 1.

I guess I'd say the problem is it's a bit of a mixed message. So the Mach I with or without the HP has all the coolers, big brakes, additional coolers for the A10 over the GT/GT+PP, plus the general marketing message seems to emphasize handling. Over in the GM camp, they're adding the A10 to the SS 1LE, the ZL1 and the track focused ZL1 1LE are both available with an A10 today.

The last thing I'd add, are the folks at HPDEs who are tracking the GTs with the A10, and they're running solidly (I know a buddy of mine has definitely added some extra coolers, not sure if his tranny is stock).

I guess my point is: in an era of track positioned cars being offered with an automatic (and a joint GM / Ford designed product at that), it seems __super__ short sighted to not offer - and design to be effective on track - the A10 with the HP package.

Could be a capacity thing. I’m pretty certain that the main reason Camaro only offered the 10AT in the ZL1 for a couple years was because they had not ramped up to full capacity and most of the capacity was aimed at truck$.

do you like looking at others tail lights?

Are you racing wheel to wheel ? (rhetorical question, don't bother answering but it's nice to make it sound like you do on the internet). No one will buying this car for actual racing, and for track days/HPDE/Time Trials (which are supposed to be fun), I will choose manual every single time.

Lol. I’ll never pay ADM because that’s the most ridiculous thing ever, lucky again I don’t have crappy dealers near me. And trust me I’m not a Ford nut rider, but I don’t have time to explain that to you. At the end of the day today and at the end of the day in 20 years the base GT will be nothing more than a high school kids beater lol, while all his friends ask why he doesn’t have a Mach E or Tesla. While this car and the Bullitt carry more weight as do there counterparts from the early 2000’s do today to car people anyways. But again that’s my cup of Tea. A gas powered manual driven drivers car cup of tea and guess what it tastes great

Cheers!

I didn't buy my GT as an investment. So frankly I don't give a schitt.
