  1. Dark Horse SC, who's adding one, who's replacing with one, what will it do to GT500 values?

    To each his own but I just don't see it. Honda lights don't make it look aggressive to me...lost the distinctive headlights. One thing I really can't get past is what looks to be the vinyl "SC." They couldn't spring for an actual badge? GT500 values will go up. This won't command the price they...
  2. Trade-in Mach 1 HP for a C8 Corvette?

    the C8 is my attainable dream car (I was the kid in the 80s with the lamborghini on the wall) so it just has that mid-engine aspect that the Mach 1 doesn't have. Due to kids in/starting college I am not quite there yet. I will say that the transmission maintenance and issues do give me pause on...
  3. Talk me out of buying a Mach 1 (or not)

    Love my Mach 1. 2021 with 40K miles...it has been a daily driver for a couple of months now due to another kid getting a license. I hope to reclaim my beater after we get some furniture paid off. I honestly think the Mach 1 is the best late gen Mustang generally available ATM. It fixed a lot of...
  4. Who is ordering a New 2025 GT350?

    Yep...listened to some young focus group folks who had no intention of buying the car. However, Baby Boomers/Gen X can and do actually buy the car-so was it really a wise marketing move? Sales say otherwise. I was ready for S650...could afford to jump in - but not buying it with that in it.
  5. Who is ordering a New 2025 GT350?

    Right there with you. That kind of money would go to a C8 way before any S650. I am not a huge fan of the S650 exterior, but that dash is a deal killer for me too.
  6. Any 2021 Mach original owners left?

    Right here - bought from dealer in April of 2021. First one in my area to have a Mach 1. I remember the first few Cars and Coffees I went to...I was new and different for a few weeks-that is kind of returning now as people get rid of them. I was likely the first S550 Mach 1 on the TOTD (posted...
  7. What Shelby parts are on the Mach 1?

    By the time Mach 1 came out? Nah...they held it back for Dark Horse. If the Mach 1 had gotten the Shelby GT350 brake package, the DH would have had zero advantages...it would sell worse than it is now. Remember when the Mach 1 was rumored to have 520HP? My conspiracy theory is that the dual...
  8. 1st time at Tail Of The Dragon

    I enjoyed TOTD, but it was a one and done for me. Too crowded and too many reckless people there. I enjoyed some of the other roads a lot more. I did the TOTD in my Mach 1 in summer 2021 shortly after I bought it..actually with the Dragon Rally guys too. I was the first new Mach 1 they had seen...
  9. Mach 1 or Dark Horse

    100%. I would add if they did all you said, added a PDR and heads up option, and stopped the hop from the factory, S650 would have sold in droves. Instead they listened to some younger focus groups who had zero intention of ever buying the car.
  10. Mach 1 or Dark Horse

    Mach 1 all day. Not even close...gets even further apart if we talk interior. DH= Accord front end, Camaro sides/rear bumper, and Hyundai deck lid. Horrible.
  11. Who has the pleasure of regular access to 93?

    Alabama...every station has 93...that is all my Mach 1 gets...Shell, Exxon, or Marathon.
  12. Mach1 or PP2?

    If someone can't tell the Mach 1 front end from an original S550 or the refresh, they need a better prescription. Functional vents, refresh hood and lights, faux inlets, different lower section, the decal on the hood. I immediately can tell a Mach 1 at highway speeds from the back end because of...
  13. Mach1 or PP2?

    The Mach 1 has a completely unique front end, unique wheels, and the rear valence from the GT500 along with very unique exhaust tips. Taking all of the stickers off would of course make a big change but we are talking stock configurations here.
  14. Mach1 or PP2?

    I know one guy that has a PP2...green...really rare car but you also have to know what you are looking for to even know if it is one. Wish the Mach 1 non HP had come with a 305 all the way around option...I have the upgraded wheels that look the same as the PP2 wheels but the staggered size is...
  15. Are the automotive you tubers all gone?

    I can't stand most of these guys. Stangmode being part of the S650 official reveal was so ridiculous. Although it was a harbinger for how much of a cluster the car has been. I begrudgingly respect Speed Phenom because at least he drives his cars on track, and he does stuff like the Willow...
