All Mach 1’s have the same brakes. The DarkHorse brakes are better than the M1 brakes.

How do you measure better brakes? I heard the video and DH seems to have larger disks in front and 4 piston calipers i the rear, but do they stop DH faster?
All Ford has to to is leave the DH badges in the pallet, and bring the pallets marked Mach 1 and start slapping them on during assembly, and voila, you've got the new Mach 1, not to forget a white shifter ball in place of the blue titanium, and there's the New Mach 1. Or do you mean retooling to make a car they've not made in years, which will be about the price of a Shelby Super Snake? The S550 is gone. Plus once they unlock the ECU it's all over for older cars. Presently the S650 is being held back by Ford's refusal to unlock that pesky old ECU.
He meant the rear brakes. On which I'd add a question how many ever had problems with rear brakes not keeping up? Few serious track junkies only perhaps. It's marketing move more than anything, Mach 1 has all you really need for spirited driving.
Exactly the point. Bigger brake discs are irrelevant, they don't increase the braking force. Basically only tyres matter. Bigger brake pads and discs are good only for endurance, so again for serious track use. And how many people overheated Mach 1 brakes? They had to improve something so anyone would even buy it.

Yes my comment was very much 'tongue in cheek' - it seems that they (tyres) are either ignored or highlighted, depending on what suits the agenda thats being pushed.
That is debatable. I track my Mach 1 and have had zero issues with brakes. I was using G-Loc R10(f) and R8(r) and now use R12/10. The car stops hard. With good tires and track pads, I would doubt the Mach 1's braking is that much inferior to the DH. Stock, there is about an 8-10' difference in 60-0 braking between the 2 cars.
To be frank, my question was not `tongue in cheek`. I knew DH had better brakes by the spec, but it was also heavier. So the outcome was not that obvious. After your reply I did some serious(tm) research on the internet and indeed, everyone is quoting the shorter stopping distance of DH. The indication which tyres where compared is usually not that promoted though.
Days away. Just one day. Yesterday. But I'm sure they can wait until it hits the market. was planning on beating my wife in a race. Going to have to do it before she gets a tune in her '25. But since she has an A10 she'll most likely best me.
