Good day my fellow Canuck Mach 1 owners. Just curious if anyone up here who has a 23 Mach 1 has received their Owner's Kit yet? I've been in contact with Anthony Fodera (great guy BTW) from Ford Performance a couple times over the summer and the last word from him on 29 Sep was that the kits...

Wheel Replicas, 2020 GT500 flow formed gloss black staggered setup. I have had Gunmetal wheels, Titanium (Fondmetal) and bright bronze (brass) coloured wheels, but, with FJG, I think the gloss black looks the best as it ties in with the black and orange lower side stripes (this was pointed out...

Here is a side pic of my 23 with GT500 wheels (20" x 11 R, 20" x 10.5" Fr) running 315/30 rear and 305/30 front (P4S) and stock ride height.

Unless you plan on replacing your OEM suspension fully (for track or otherwise and won't daily drive it), YES! 1000% yes! MR makes a HUGE difference from either the base or Performance Pkg suspension. I've owned three S550 Mustangs (19 base 301A car, 21 401A PP car and now a 23 Mach 1 701A). My...

They shouldn’t be smoking, ever for just a track day. Did you replace your brake fluid beforehand? That is the single most important thing to do (besides tires). I wouldn’t even worry about pad compound so much for just HPDE. Using a top quality high performance brand fluid (like Motul RBF 600)...

There. New wheel swap. Looks so much better.

See you all there from us Northern neighbours. LOL. Not out first Ford Nationals, but certainly our first Mach 1 (just picked her up 2 days ago!). Mostly stock except wheels, and carbon fibre rear spoiler.

Too bad you weren't up here in Ontario, I will be selling these brand new/tire combo now. Hahaha. Ordered new wheels and tires this morning will be here tomorrow. I ack fast when I'm motivated. Doh.

Thanks everyone. I was on the fence, and once my wife pointed out the clash of the orange, I couldn't unsee it......LOL. The wheels are changing for sure, this week. I love some of the ideas posted, and I'm going to look for a very dark grey as it would have slight hues of dark blue or maybe...

Slightly lighter, but they’re also much bigger at 20x11.

Fondmetal STC-45. They are specifically made for only the S550, so, offsets are perfect, and the centerbore is factory. They come in gunmetal, black or silver.

Good day, I had ordered these wheels custom colored way back in February as we had originally ordered an Eruption Green GT (which ended up getting cancelled by Ford as we missed the production cut off and were bumped to a 2024 order). Anyway, our dealer found us a new 23 Mach 1 in FJG...

Chassis number P1208, FJG, 700A, Elite pkg, Appearance pkg, built 14 Feb 23, purchased 19 May 23.

I hear ya, but you should put your Excursion in. It's cool and "rare" rides like yours that people need to see. I kept hearing comments from the younger guys/girls (I'm 52) about these "cool cars called Merkurs and Probes" and how they never knew Ford made them. The younger generation may...

First time attending (from Ottawa, ON, Canada). My wife and I had an absolute blast. Met a LOT of great people from all over. Got to hang out with Jack Roush (and swap bbq/ smoker tips). Didn't expect to pick an award, but, a shock to both myself and my wife, we got 2nd place in the 2021 up...

No, it was Mike K. Older gentleman with the BMW Motorsports club.

No. You can comfortably put a 295 on a 10.5" wheel. (305 is doable as well, Ford uses a 10.5"front wheel for the track package cars). Yes. My street wheels are 20"

Yes. Great observation. Tis true. Calabogie really does "scrub" tires very quickly. I didn't notice them getting greasy at all, but, it was just an HPDE. Of note, my coach (who is a very experienced racer and races an M3) did take my car for one session and pushed harder than me and was...

I know a few on the board have reviewed and mentioned the Firestone Firehawk Indy 500 tires, and they are relatively cheap, so, not a lot of track feedback. (understandable). But, I found myself in a "pinch" recently (couldn't get my preferred tires in time for an HPDE day), but, my tire shop...

Nice job! Always impressed to see owner's tackle jobs themselves... this one isn't for the meek, for sure, but, its doable. And you're right, a hoist makes this job almost bearable... I too struggled a while between MGW and Barton. I dealt directly with both via email and over the phone. Both...
