  1. Looking at C8 Corvettes, and I just... can't... Is it just me or do others view them the same?

    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...
  2. Any experience with Progressive or Progressive "Drive" car insurance?

    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...
  3. Mach 1 fighter jet grey touch up paint doesn't match

    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...
  4. If something happened to your S550, would you replace with a Dark Horse?

    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...
  5. At what point does the 2016-2020 GT350 become age and cost prohibitive?

    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...
  6. Trade-in Mach 1 HP for a C8 Corvette?

    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...
  7. Rear wheel spin accelerating at 50 mph..

    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...
  8. How many of you can drive the Mach 1 like it was intended?

    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...
  9. Anyone relocate to another state for better quality of life?

    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...
  10. What are you doing to "protect" your Mustang in public?

    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...
  11. Strategies to avoid windshield rock chips

    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...
  12. 22 Mach1/A10 hard downshifts downhill twisties

    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...
  13. Other Drivers Behavior

    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...
  14. Too good of a deal - something fishy???

    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...
  15. Mach1 owners with the Tremec: when do you shift to 6th gear....

    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...
  16. People's reaction to seeing a '21-'23 Mach 1 similar to seeing a GT350?

    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...
  17. Poll: Where do you get your oil changed?

    Having experienced and heard of bad oil change experiences at car dealerships, I'm curious where you all go to have your oil changed...
  18. Lifespan of a 5.0

    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...
  19. Red line in 3rd gear in the Mach 1

    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...
  20. Rotten egg smell WOT

    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...
