Well I'm way late to the party on this one but my pick would be Mach.

I honestly just do not care for the looks of the S650's at all.

I got a Mach but I like the Dark Horse. The GT’s not so much. The front nose just don’t get it.

Yes, I think the Mach 1's nose is supposed to be a BULLITT and GT350 noses merged. Could be wrong though.

and I could do without the fake grill lights/blackouts or whatever you call them.

I think it would be much better if it was like the Saleen thing horizontal grills.

The faux fog light covers can be removed and maybe help air flow on the track. I think it is to pay respect to the early Mach 1's. I actually don't like it either but it helps it stand out.

your assessment is right and I think I will remove them once I put boost on my new Mach.

I like the Mach 1 better, but have been searching for a DH w/Tremec for days on Ford Builder/Search. Only one is in Jackson Mississippi. All the others are black with A10. Slim pickins' this year.

Title say Mach 1 or Dark Horse. I'm faced with purchasing a car for my wife as a Birthday present. Should I get a new Dark Horse Tremec, or a ever so slightly used Mach 1 5,000 miles on it? Keep in mind the new DH is in Mississippi, I'm in Texas as the Mach 1 is also.

Have you watched her expression showing her the two models? Do that but don't tell her what you are planning since she will be the one driving.

Ok. She'll be back a few days before her Birthday, and then It will be too late. She likes them all, and loves my Mach 1. She was raised around Mustangs. She loves all of them. Certain colors she doesn't like. The bright red, grabber blue, any orange, yellow or loud color. Candy red is great, not available. So She'd like white and loves Fighter Jet Gray .

So sounds like a Mach 1 is the gift.
