Im glad I found this thread. I have a METICULOUSLY maintained car, ceramic coated and relatively low milage. Just found the same issue on mine over the past month. Ford is going to get chewed out by me...
I definitely feel you. It's why I, in essence, recreated my own "Mach 1". I had a gut feeling when the S550 came out, this would be the next throwback heritage for a Mach 1 since they did the boss 302 for the S197. I think I created something much more personalized and special for me that...
Excellent! Thank you, looking into it I think you are very right! Something that will confer more benefit at the strip over the NT55G2s I have and also hook better on the street. G2s are great tires for the street, but with a FI application we def need some more hook.
In the same breath...
There was a lot of good info here. To piggy back off of this; how did you like the ET street Rs after running them last year? I am in a bit of an opposite situation of wanting to run them more on the street and occasionally at the strip. I would like something with more hook and will only run...
The dealer may have made it right and I'm very happy they did (which is what they should have done); but lets be honest here. That car is pretty mangled (with the airbags going off too). There is a difference between doing the required test driving to get the car to where it needs to be, and...
I agree with all of the above statements made in the chain, but if they really don't need a car, who can blame them? Performance driving will always be alive as a hobby, no matter what form it takes. Nothing will be able to take the place of our previous generations experiences and what has...
You hit the nail on the head my friend. It is comical how car and driver just seems to downplay this whole thing as everyone has already mentioned. They must really hate ford. At a real dragstrip, owners are running 10.6s-10.8s, right on par with fords numbers, exactly as ford's advertised...
Just to throw in my 2cents. The Edelbrock kit is damn near perfect IMO. I have a 2017 5.0 and I have been driving around with it for over half a year and it has performed nearly flawlessly. I will say my only minor gripe is the Edelbrock tune (which can have some hiccups), but if you want to...
Hey guys! I am relatively new to the forum but I wanted to share my recent experience with Evolution Performance on building up my 2017 5.0, which I have christened as a Mach 1. I have very special plans/vision for this mustang, especially after building up a FBO 2014 V6. Previous to the...
Correct me if I am wrong, but in the 60s wasn't that just what the Mach 1 was? An optioned out V8, or basically a build it yourself boss? Many different features for that day that you could choose from?
This is very interesting. I already beat ford to the punch on badging my 2017 a Mach 1. I think they missed the mark big time with not marketing the s550 as a Mach 1. The Mach E is also supposed to be a Mustang "inspired" hybrid. I don't think this would be the platform for that...?
