Very cool. Flat shifting...

Haven't watched the whole thing yet but looks like 2nd tops out at 119km/h which is about 74 mph.

Am I the only one who is disappointing by this?
We're at the point that internal combustion powered cars are never going to beat electrics 0-60 so why not drop the one shift 0-60 oriented gearing and make the car more fun to drive with some closer ratios?

I'm sure the Tremec is stronger and I know they shift better but it sounds like it might not make much of a difference in how the car drives otherwise.... waiting to learn more on that.

Since when does the Mach 1 get no lift shift?? That’s awesome!

An hour long presentation! Pretty impressive.............and it looks so hot in Twister Orange!

I'm hoping the US motoring press are invited to the same place the Ecoboost High Performance launch was held..........Northern California for some nice weather and great roads.

This is an Aussie Spec Mach 1. We don’t get the 3:73 rear diff ratio, we only get the 3:55. So US cars will have a lower speed at the top of 2nd.

any chance you could post the actual URL instead of just embedding it? Some kind of plugin I guess that I don't have. All I see is a blank square where one's post would normally go. And please, do not post a FB URL if the source video is from somewhere else.

What a great Video. Now I'm even more excited to get mine!
This car is going to be very special.

I’m actually impressed by how close the ratios are even with the 3.55 rear end. Really can’t wait to see an in-depth track review with a US spec car, especially a HP car!

Today my 2018 GT, EU tops out att almost 140km/h in 2nd gear. This seems to have much better gearing.
I am buying the manual and want to use that stick some more.

Unfortunately whomever posted it hasn't posted it anywhere else. Thanks for sharing the actual title.
