'21MY Mach 1s are starting to arrive at dealers

[shogun32]

If it were me, I'd go T56 or T6060 before the GT350/Mach box....

nobody has successfully pulled it off on an 18+.

Definitely my favorite color of the Mach 1. It's crazy how much different lighting conditions change the color appearance. But that's true of Bullitt DHG too.
I do see some filters on these pics tho too.

I do have to agree with the minority that are unimpressed with the Mach 1. Personally, appearance is everything to me when looking into a specialty vehicle. When you look at GT350, it looks mean and it differentiates itself from a regular GT. $55,000, I would expect something different than swapped badges and few decals.

I understand why people like it and why people don't. I think it kind of depends where you come from. If from a previous gen, it'll look awesome and updated. If comparing to GT or Bullitt, it's very similar (essentially identical to the Mach 1).

I type this as we are hauling on the highway in my Bullitt with wife driving. It kind of reminds me why I got this- the somewhat unique thing about the Bullitt and I reckon people getting the Mach 1 want some unique looks while still retaining the things that work so well on other S550 Mustangs and having a vehicle not too many people will have...

It might look similar in pictures but irl there will be a quite big difference compared to a GT looks wise.

I remember when I was in the states in 2019! We were on the turnpike and my eyes caught a red car and from distance I could tell the stance of the car was not the same as regular GT as it was a PP2. We don't have the PP2s here in Sweden.

What am I trying to say is only the wheels on the PP2 makes big difference. Add to that Mach 1 can be had with quite aggressive wheels, different rear diffuser, tailpipes,
spoiler on the rear and the different front end with the grilles and the additional splitter the car will look very different compared to a regular GT

With that said the HP pkg is almost a must for me or I would retrofit some of the parts to a none HP

it looks the same as the Bullitt

It's not green, that's for sure I'm glad it doesn't look diametrically different from GT. It's performance package on top of the GT, the driving qualities should be clear in first lap

I do like the "handling package" but I think that should've been standard

The HP wheels are nice but not really meant for normal driving. I'd fear I'd break the additional front splitter on some potholes here too. The rear spoiler would be cool, though, shouldn't be a problem to buy separately.

My dealer just got a 700a in with AP think there will be a lot of the FJG running around

 

[Charlemagne]

No blue ones, damn. Mine will be more special then

My dealer in Byron GA will be getting one in within the next week or so. I ordered it but I won't be buying it. FJG 6 speed.

What happened to the GT500 styled swing wing? I thought the Mach1s were getting that. Did they cancel that last minute?

HP cars get it.

MPG difference from my previous 2020 GT Premium with a PP1, they add a $1,000.00 Gas Guzzler tax? Who comes up with where the tax start?

Who comes up with where the tax start?

your elected CONgress critters who then delegate it to the EPA or DoT.
2020 GT if built in 2019 duck the tax.

These built-in-2019 also get the PP1=$4000 package price instead of the 5 grand one. So if buying a MY2020 you can save $2000 just by locating an example that has been rotting on the lot since 2019.

The Beatles said it best.
Let me tell you how it will be
There's one for you, nineteen for me
'Cause I'm the taxman
Yeah, I'm the taxman
Should five per cent appear too small?
Be thankful I don't take it all
'Cause I'm the taxman
Yeah, I'm the taxman

Speaking for myself, I just don’t understand people that come in this sub forum and put down the Mach 1. There’s obviously a lot of us that are excited about the car. That’s great you have an opinion. The car has been in the public now for months, are you just now seeing it for the first time? I get back in October posting that it didn’t check all your boxes. What do you gain by doing it now? Other than stirring up the hornets nest of people that like the car. There’s many cars I don’t care for. I couldn’t imagine having the time to seek out a forum for them in order to post that I don’t really like the product.

The cars are slowly trickling into dealerships as we speak and you're surprised people have opinions on looks? They've literally had styling changes up until last month, changing the badging etc. I will never understand taking things personally over a car you own. Are people that insecure over their decisions that they cannot rationalize another member's input? Hell, I've seen people critique Ferrari's and Lambo's over styling let alone a mustang. You may be happy but I'm not since I had high expectations for this car (I would've purchased it in a heartbeat).

Ford was too lazy to even customize a steering wheel something even the Bullitt had. So much for details.

Ah yes, so we once again arrive at what I’ve been saying for months... the problem isn’t the car, the problem is the unrealistic expectations people had for the car

I never once believed that the car was going to get a 5.2 or have any more than 500hp, and I was really expecting a bullitt with some stickers. I was so surprised and impressed when it came out that I sold the 2018 GT that I was planning on keeping for the rest of my life just to order a Mach 1

I don't think it's unrealistic at all that it have the model specific steering wheel center that it deserves. I was actually surprised that it doesn't. I'm surprised they're even bothering with the dash badge.

Small details make all the difference when you're fleecing customers with your latest speshul edition, at least to me (I've had a few). To some it doesn't matter...but it should. Ford was apparently too busy fiddling with Easter eggs on the Mach-E to be bothered with this detail.

They did nail a nice exhaust note, I'll give them that.
