Mach 1 a higher performer than the 350?

I didn’t say it... EddieX did at the 54 second mark...

sounds like he says both. at 54 secs he does say there are 2 higher performing cars (gt500, mach 1) but then at the 1:15 mark he says the mach 1 is "not quite a shelby".

but we all know the mach 1 is not a gt350 or gt500, hence the lower pricing.

So the Mach 1 has approximately the same or more weight, the same trans, same diff gearing and a 45 HP power deficit? My money is on the GT350

Key point he made...

“I’ve never seen one [Mach 1] or driven one...”, but yet it’s a “Higher performer.”

Interesting.

Will not be surprised to see an A10 Mach outrun a 350 in the quarter mile but who cares?

...But will the Mach 1 have that FPC sound...

Nope!!!

Don't get me wrong - the Mach will be a cool car with the technology and trickle down bits from the 350. I'm sure it will be worth owning. I'm just saying that anyone with a 350 shouldn't be feeling any FOMO for a Mach.

I had a an 03 Mach1, I liked it. not quite stock. Unfortunately, it was totaled 2 weeks after I sold it.

Mach 1 with the A10 should be great all around performer but doesn't have the track package. The Track Package with 6-speed will be Bullitt performance so I don't see it knocking off the GT350 on the track or strip.

The A10 maybe, not the Track Package, look at how poor the Bullitt numbers were, it was actually slower than the 6-speed GT.

The Porsche 911 GT3 isn't the quickest/fastest in the 911 line up but it tends to be the model that is most talked about by driving enthusiasts, I would consider the GT350 to be the same.

Spec sheets do not equal driving experience.

This is a great point and one that gets missed by many. Numbers never tell the whole story.

Under 4000 rpm or so, the Mach1 engine makes a decent chunk more power. I bet stoplight to stoplight and most daily driving around town, it's more fun. The dyno charts of the coyote vs voodoo were a surprise to me, Voodoo is definitely down in comparison in lower RPM. So much so, I almost used that as a justification for going coyote instead of the GT350.

I wouldn't trade the voodoo, even given the relative lack of low end grunt, due to the magic of the engine as it builds revs, the uniqueness, the sound. But I do find the Mach1 compelling.

Add some turns...
I’m sure the Mach won’t have the track width or downforce of the R.

What comparison did you see? The one I was the Voodoo and Coyote were within a few HP down low and the Voodoo picked up at higher RPMs.....

Do you have a link?

The 350...you just drive it differently. A little more bias towards upper RPMs - very exotic-like. The car was never meant to come off the line hard.

There was a great comparison graph on the SVTperformance website, the link has been taken down, which is odd. (still evidence it once existed.....)


Most graphs on internet show not small differences below 4500rpm.
