I drive it as if it were already broken in since there’s 2 schools of thought. Drive it hard and baby it. I stay in the middle of those extremes. I don’t hit redline over and over for the first 1000 miles just to pay respects to the manual. 😂

Right, gotcha. I guess I would be surprised in that case. Pleasantly surprised since I’m $58K invented into an M1. 😂

I was comparing a M1 without HP to one with.

True. I was obsessed with the Shelby, but in the end the engine failures were too common to turn a blind eye to. The M1 is perfect for me. I like the HP, but I don’t think it’s worth the $4500 price tag. For me anyway… Base M1 is a great value for your dollar.

Yea, that’s not a fair fight. Two different weight classes. 😂

You joking? Lol I’m guessing you are because the HP offers no speed benefit. At least not in a straight line. On a track with the right driver- sure.

That’s gonna be hard to do mechanically. 😂

Show me the data that shows it’s not an unreliable motor. See how stupid that sounds? If you have convinced yourself the voodoo issues don’t exist or are isolated/limited. Cool.

It means more than a small percentage. 😉

Lol. That’s why I used quotations, cowboy.

Lol, Agee, disagree?

You are in denial. The data is under your nose. The forum is riddled with engine failures as early as 2000 miles. Want me to tag you in every forum post or YouTube video highlighting the countless issues with this motor? I’m good. I see you own 2 yourself, so obviously you’re gonna be...

I just bought a Mach 1 and I could have waited for the S550. I honestly have some concerns that the “muscle car” era is truly coming to an end. The industry is geared towards fuel economy with electric motors and automatic transmissions. None of which compliment the Mustang. 😂 We will see. If...

I mean no disrespect. I think it’s fair to say a large percentage have experienced engine failures. This forum is riddled with threads related to engine failure. Not all are unreliable and I hope nobody experiences issues with them. One thing Is for sure— its the coolest Mustang ever IMO.

I stall legit ever time I drive it. But I’ve driven it less than a dozen times. 😂

How many miles did you drive it? You need to get past that “hump” and something will click. You’ll still stall here and there, but driving it will become second nature. I was like that about 20 years ago. I’m still “learning” to drive my Mach 1 and I get frustrated too. You just need more time...

The M1 is the closest you’ll get to a NEW GT350. That said, it’s not a GT350. If you want an auto the M1 is surely your best option. I will piggyback on the opinion that you should give a manual more time. As others have stated you need to drive it a lot. I only have 500 miles on mine and I...

I actually thought about debadging and removing all the vinyl from my M1. I’m kind of a minimalist. I won’t do it because I’m likely not keeping it forever. It would destroy the value. EDIT: Before someone says, “then why did you buy a Mach 1?” Because of the mechanical upgrades.

I don’t know what it is about upbadging, debadging, body modifying, etc…, but if you’re gonna do it, do it on a base GT where you’re already at a lower cost starting point. If I had a GT and I wanted to modify it cosmetically, I’d personally go with some aftermarket options that were unique...

What’s the “crap” in my statement?
