I was going to order it through Ford but I found the same part on Amazon for 159$ vs 200$ I just looked and they are sold out at the 159$ price. Just keep watching it might pop up again in a few days at the 159$ price.

With HP bird nest wheels codes now known, I searched and found them cheapest for 685$ and 695$ which is not that more expensive.

Since I spent for the tire upgrades for the non HP Mach1, I'm more interested in setting up wheels for cold weather. Do you have any idea about wheels and tires for my flavor of Mach1 for the winter? Obviously, not a rush at the moment, but always good to plan ahead.

I'll buy only winter tyres for the first winter and change them on the Y spoke 9.5"/10" wheels and then decide what to do about second set of wheels for next year.

I'll get Michelin Pilot Alpin PA4 winter tyres. Reviews and tests are great.

Looks like Alpin 5 is available only in 255/40 R19 and not in 275/40 R19 yet (but is in 275/35 R19), hopefully it will be available this year when it replaces Alpin PA4 and seems even better.


Alternative for me would be Goodyear UltraGrip Performance+.

According to site, it won’t fit Mach1!!!
The part numbers are the same on the one Chris bought and the one on American Muscle. I'm not ordering till I get a VIN number!

Ceramic coating will be first BUT...

Today I made a deal to buy a mint set of 2020 GT PP1 wheels with new tires and sensors. Gonna put those on my 2018 PP1 and trade it in with those so I can keep my OEM PP2 wheels and tires that are on the car now, so I basically bought a set of PP2 wheels and tires for the Mach for $1000. Then I can run the HP wheels and Cup 2’s on the Mach in the summer and the PP2 wheels and tires in late fall thru early spring. Or just stash the HP wheels and tires and run the PP2’s all year, I think they’re better looking anyway.

I don't understand the hood strut thing. Unless one is going to chrome out the engine bay, why buy them ? The prop rod works quite nicely when checking the oil or adding washer fluid.

Some people

So, after picking up my Mach 1 on 3/9 and then taking off from Boston to Tallahassee on 3/11 I can safely say that I will NOT be needing the Steeda Clutch Spring. The difference in the clutch pedal feel from my 2015 GT to the Mach 1 is night and day.
I’m thinking about getting the steeda clutch spring. Are you still running the stock one?

I’ve seen guys say they’re going to swap it when they get their car but I don’t think anyone has yet. I don’t think the clutch is bad but watching a couple videos on it I’m thinking maybe it could be better. I’ve experienced 1st and 2nd can be a little hard to shift smooth at times if I’m driving “regular”. But what are your thoughts since you’ve had the car for a while now? I don’t think anyone has said anything on the comparison of the Mach clutch vs steeda spring.(That I’ve seen)

I’ve also heard guys say it could effect the nls and isn’t recommended. But that wasn’t official for the Mach, just guys saying they had problems with the pp2 nls. Which has me hesitating.

Yes, I'm still running the stock spring and have absolutely no plans of swapping it. The spring in my 2015 GT PP1 was horrid, the spring in my 21 Mach 1 is great IMO.
