How often do you get stopped…?

I have never had a car draw so much attention as my Mach 1 does. And it’s my 4th Mustang.

At least once every time I take it out someone is complimenting the car or asking about it. I had 3 guys stop me to chat fueling up the other day. I took my wife out for a date night last weekend in the car. While waiting for a table a guy came in and I overheard him say to his buddy: “did you see that gorgeous mustang pull in?”

gotta say, it feels good. Lol

Beautiful car, great color combo, I love it. I get stopped a lot, parking lots, gas station, convenience store, almost everywhere. But, I always stop and talk to people, whether I'm in a hurry or not. Figure this won't last forever, so I enjoy it.

All the time! due to only 6300 built in 2021 and only about 1k so far in 22, we remain a novelty car
Enjoy it while it lasts!

Love the Mach 1's with the black/red stripe combo, looks so good. I wanted a Mach 1, but at the time I wanted one, they were marking them up 10K, which I felt was ridiculous. Ordered a fully loaded GT and really do enjoy driving it, it's enough for me, but love the Mach's. Don't see many of them here in SLC.

I get similar reactions when I take mine out. Our cars must have come down the assembly line together, I have M6055.

Love FJG, they did that color combo right, IMO. Really like the Orange/Black stripe combo, and the orange brake calipers. I wished I could have gotten orange calipers on my TO, but not going to bother painting them or anything, think they just look good.

It's all the same stuff anyway.

I haven't been stopped yet but I have gotten a few comment sin parking lots by people walking by. Also I was at a drive thru I frequent one time and after placing my order they didn't shut there Mic off and I heard them say. " Its for that black mustang".

I get chatted up and compliments all the time. Best one so far was the 5 or 6 year old in a grocery store parking lot who grabbed his mom's hand pointing and telling his mom, "look Mommy, race car, race car! When she didn't look, he pulled harder and insisted! I slowed to a complete crawl and gave him a big smile and wave. That kid's going to want a Mustang!

I think the 2022's will be rarer.

This is funny as I would not believe it, if have not lived it myself. I have been having my car for 5 days and every time I took it out, I got some complimenting comments. Even the very first day, after I arrived from the dealer and was attaching the licence plates in our underground parking the neighbor who was leaving just stopped by and said some words of appreciation. And I am not meeting people who are car enthusiasts, just ordinary people, yet for some reason they are eager to comment, compliment or get into a talk about the car. Unbelievable

It’s gotta be pretty amazing seeing one in Europe. Never saw any during my travels but a friend shipped a GT350 to Germany a while back which had to be awesome.

I get compliments all the time...people roll down windows at lights to let me know what they think. It is great...it still gets compliments at Cars and Coffee and shows too despite me being pretty regular at those.

Even if it might not be intuitive, not all countries in Europe are equal. There are some where owning V8 is a punishable crime and others where owning V8 is just owning V8. We are lucky that Czech republic is still the one normal. So you might be surprised how many Mustangs are here. Even the brands which are not officially imported are present (Camaros, Dodge, Corvettes). But it is true that Mach 1, probably because of the FJG color and the stickers, still stands out a bit.

It’s just a Mustang. No one cares but us.

That's kind of what I expected, and I think it will still mostly be true in the longer term. But over the years and various cars I've owned (which I guess isn't really that many years or that many cars, but it's something), I've started to get the sensation that cars, when brand new, have some kind of... "aura".

Maybe it's the stupid grins and childlike wonderment we have when driving them? Maybe it's just the dealer plates? But even some of the more "normal" cars I've owned get some attention for a while after rolling off the dealer lot.

In my very anecdotal experience so far, the Mach 1 is getting slightly more than average, but we'll see. I mean between that exhaust note, the sporty exterior accents, and Mach 1 decals, it does stand out a bit... and mine is basically highlighter yellow, too, heh.

I'm sure there's also some confirmation bias, too. I find myself looking at everyone I pass when in a new car I'm proud of to see who notices lol.
