So here I am on a Saturday evening looking at cars for sale on Carfax. Hard to believe the GT350 ceased being built 6 years ago! GT500 4 years ago. Mach 1, 3 years ago.... I'm still not on board with the Dark Horse. So, I started looking at '24-'26 C8 Corvettes... No doubt the Corvettes perform...
Seeking recent input from fellow Mustang enthusiasts regarding Progressive or their offshoot brand Progressive "Drive" car insurance. I reviewed some older insurance posts here but looking to see if anyone has any experience or opinion of either brand.
Long story short, I'm a long time State...
I used the forum search feature and didn't see anything relative to if anyone else has purchased Ford's touch up paint for the Mach 1 in fighter jet grey and noticed that it is not a good match for the original paint. The touch up paint is darker. I'm aware that the FJG is aka cactus grey.
The...
I went for a drive today in my Mach 1. Perfect weather, perfect temps. Just an all-around great day to own a Mustang. While on a back country road, accelerating (responsibly) thru the twisties, I found myself pondering a question:
If my S550 got a little long in the tooth, or something happened...
So, the GT350 ceased being produced in 2020. In January, the 2016 is a decade old, and the 2020's will be 6 years old. Looking at the used 2020's on the market, many are 3 owners, moderate + on the mileage, and are priced $55k on up. At what point (if such a point exists) is it not such a good...
So.... I'm on my 3rd 5.0 powered Mustang in 7 years. Currently sporting a 2022 Mach 1 HP. FJG. I enjoy it. I really like the muscle car feel/vibe of the Mach. But, starting to look at the C8 Corvettes. Looking being the internet, Carfax etc. Thinking it's time to change it up a bit. What do you...
I have a stock 22 Mach 1 HP with the automatic transmission. Michelin PS4 tires. Occasionally, while rolling along around 50 MPH I will go WOT and I swear I feel some rear wheel spin. Nothing dramatic, just getting a little loose when I put my foot into it. Anyone else experience this? I'm told...
So, today, I had a rare opportunity to drive (safely) my Mach 1 on a perfect twisty country road. No cars. Freshly repaved. Perfect conditions. I realized/confirmed that the car is capable of being driven in a way that exceeds my skill level. To be clear, I had a blast but it was evident that...
Greetings, reaching out to inquire if anyone has relocated from their home state to another state for a better quality of life. If yes, I'd like to ask a few questions.
1. Was the move worth it?
2. Was the cost of living less? I.e. house prices, utilities, gas, taxes etc.
3. How was it creating...
So, reaching out to see how you all deal with reducing the likelihood of someone messing with your Mustang when you are out and about. What is driving my inquiry is someone recently damaged my rear trunk lid beside the Mach 1 emblem by forcefully using their finger to make several downward...
Reaching out to the Mustang community to get some feedback regarding how you all avoid/reduce the likelihood of receiving windshield rock chips. I've just received my 3rd bad chip encounter in the last 6 weeks after not having any on my prior 2 Mustangs. That said, the 3 I have received were...
22 Mach 1 owner here with the A10 transmission. I'm new to the A10 (2 months in) and have read on here that the A10 isn't exactly the smoothest shifting transmission. During normal driving it appears fine to me. However, when I am in Sport mode on a coasting downhill twisty road, my A10 suddenly...
This isn't a Mach 1 specific topic per se so posting in the general arena.... So, I have recently swapped my "Base" Mach 1 Mustang for the handling package Mustang (the car swap story for another thread...). Then I noticed an increase in aggressive behavior from other drivers in the form of...
I'm a happy owner of a Mach 1. When I get bored (the weather sux right now) I search the internet for good deals on Mustangs thinking that one day I will find one that will tempt me to trade in my M1 (it's actually how I found my M1). It would have to be like the perfect GT350.... So far, I...
So I've got the M1 with the Tremec. I've noticed that if I shift into 6th gear under 2k RPM (or under 60 MPH), the engine seems to bog down a bit. Or I guess it "lugs" a bit. So often times I will find myself in the slow lane of the freeway in 5th gear with the RPMs around 2600, which seems like...
With the GT350 being discontinued in 2020, and the Mach1 being discontinued after 2023, do you think that folks look (or will look back over time) at the Mach1 in similar "awe" as they do the 350? Meaning, the 350's are relatively rare, unique, have a history dating back to the 60's, and seem to...
I'm driving a '21 M1 with 20,000 miles on it. 3/36,000 warranty will expire next year. Regularly serviced, never abused, and wondering what a reasonable expected lifespan will be for it. What's driving my inquiry is I'd like to keep it for many years and wonder when I can expect to see it start...
So l'm sitting here trying to beat the heat watching YouTube videos of the Mach 1 and I am seeing these car reviewers consistently holding 3rd gear in a manual transmission high in the RPMs up to red line. For example, a long sweeping curve. Now, full disclosure: I am an older Mach 1 owner and...
I have a 21 Mach 1 with 12,000 miles on it. Only mod is a resonator delete and add x-pipe. I run Chevron 91. Recently I've noticed a rotten egg type smell after WOT or driving in second gear at around 2300 RPMs (like rolling thru traffic jam or parking lot). Check engine light has not come on. I...
