Mach 1 features not available on GT's (other than the obvious)

[Fastoldman]

I would just use a historical approach because it has the best basis for what is likely to happen in the future. Take a nice GT today and compare the difference in value to a Boss 302 or a Boss 302 LS. There is a quantum difference between a 2012/2013 GT or a 2012/2013 Boss, with the Laguna Seca models showing especially strong values.
Take your nice GT and compare a rational value to another limited model, the Mach 1, and I believe logic will turn you towards the Mach. I would view the " Handling Package " akin to comparing a GT to a Boss LS.

The V8s may likely go on longer than we all imagine, but even Ford Engineers and Corporate are indicating the numbers built will be in much smaller numbers.

Is ambient light included in mach 1?

Is rear parking sensor the same as rear cross traffic alert?

With adaptive cruise control out, does lane keep assistance also removed?

No adaptive cruise; no room in the bumper area for the radar module. Has lane keep assist, which uses the camera.

I wish my front splitter had sensors. I always park so far back from every curb if there is one. I have been going out of my way to back into spots too. Scraping still not an issue even with speed bumps.

So im currently sitting in a 2020 GT prem, PP1 A10, car has less than 5,000 miles on it. I love the car, and i am considering just keeping my current car and throwing a tune at it and calling it a day, car is already lowered with exhaust and has every option minus magneride and PP2. However the Mach 1's keep grabbing my eye, i love the exterior styling and do like the idea of being a limited run and something other than just a GT. When building them in the configurator it seems certain options are not available however on a M premium with the handling pack, such as no adaptive cruise, no rear parking sensors, and no selectable ambient lighting. Looking to see what other little hidden things might be given up, and thoughts on this swap? Its a hard pill to swallow on the fact that the engine is the same and alot of the other GT elements are still there, and the interior is the exact same as my current car minus a plaque and door sill plates. If i didnt own a mustang it might have been a no brainer but this has me back and forth every hour or so lol. I am also considering getting an M2 comp as well which is a totally different machine to the Mach, but IMO the Mach wins in overall exterior appeal. Thanks in advance.

I am selling my Mach 1 if you are interested

Yeah, front camera would be awesome for parking.

Ambient MyColor lighting is standard. It has lane keep assist but I never noticed it to work, maybe I turned it off, don't need it.

Lane assist is the light on the mirror right? It works

That's BLIS (Blind Spot Information System), we don't have that in Europe, that one is handy.

Lane keeping system is this:

I have it on alert only and I don't driff off from the lane, so I guess that's why I never saw it. I saw collision alert bunch of times, when getting to close to vehicle before overtaking though.

The Mach 1 also has the brake booster lifted from the PP2-this is often forgotten.

I’ll jump in here. I had to chance to order a Mach 1 in Dec of 2020. I did not want a regular GT. I found a few remaining PP2 cars in the 3 state area. I was able to buy a loaded up 301a for 6k off sticker. That changed my mind on ordering a Mach 1 because I would have to pay sticker and the cost for the same spec would have been 10k more. I don’t regret it all.

I don't blame you at all. My plan was a PP2 for '21, but then they discontinued them and covid drove prices way up by the time I was ready.

Seems like the collision alert comes on wayyy too much.

Thanks all for the replies, i think for now a move to a Mach isnt really worth it at this time in my position. My 2020 is paid off and i'll hold on to it and wait to see what this s650 looks like. Would rather do that than jump back into a car payment.

What is that?

 

[cheeser]

What is that?

Power Brakes. Provides boost to the braking system making it easier for the driver to stop the car. I don’t know what difference exist between them though.

Does that come on the PP1 car?
