I made a deal with the dealership in December 2022 to swap a pair of optional wheels they had on a 800 mile used mach 1 . They didn’t charge me extra. Also has Recaros in leather which in my area are hard to find. The Tremec is the best manual and really makes the mach1 such a fun machine. Heck...
Well I just got sick and tired of my C8 as a street driver. That low red line OHV 6500 rpm engine just shouldn’t be in a so called exotic sports car. You hold a gear and even with the Z51 exhaust the engine in track mode is just quite. No engine noise at all. Only in WOT does the sound enter the...
I like these wheels because the cup 2 tires are a bit much as a DD. Retired so no office trips anymore. Oh yes a manual trans also. Such a great trans. I liked chrome wheels back in the 60’s but not on the current crop of performance cars. I think chrome wheels belong to the vette crowd from...
It’s 5 days at the track. We stay in our motorhome about a 1/4 mile from the track. We have a infield car pass. So we come and go each day. The garage area is great to hang out in. We basically visit every corner during practice laps. it’s a 24 hour race so we go at different hours and catch it...
Mustang GT4 in the garage at Daytona this year. Also a practice video of two mustang GT4’s
My wife and I have been going to the 24 Daytona since 1973. Not every year however. Next year will be even better.
January 25 2023 mustang GT4 in the garage at Daytona. Yep my wife and I were there and have been going for over 35 years. Next year will be spectacular with the GT3 mustang running against the best sports cars in the world. Ford will also return to Le Mans to race against Ferrari again…..this...
Thanks ….actually my first car out of college in 1971 was a used 70 mach 1 and I was 21. Have owned a lot of performance mustangs over the years. Growing up in Detroit made me a car cazy all my life. Especially for V8’s. and manuals. Back in a Mach 1 manual
Congratulations you are in for some really unbelievable times. Especially with the manual trans. Coming from a rather boring C8 automatic trans with a push rod engine that has a 6500 red line. Plus a very quite exhaust that when you hold a gear you don’t hear the engine. Even though I had the...
75 and got bored driving a DCT in the Shelby and C8. Back in a mach 1 manual trans. Fun fun fun but where are my keys.
Not into the old stuff anymore and old technology…had a bunch
Made that car collage for the grandkids.
The GT 350R I would say is my favorite at this time. I have not put enough miles on the mach 1 to evacuate if yet . But it seems to check all the boxes so far. I have a deposit for a Z06 at Ciocca Chevy in NJ. But since the production is so slow and values on C8’s have tanked its probably a no...
The F type R has a 5.0 V8. It’s kind of like a 2 seat mustang size wise. The R models before 2020 had a back fire that at times would get a bit ridiculous over time. Was either full on or off. Nothing in between. That brand has the longest warranty and free maintenance at 5 years 60.000 miles...
These are the cars I’ve owned since 8/2019. The pandemic made it possible to buy at MSRP and trade between brands and come out ahead. They are in order of purchased. Unfortunately the values no longer make these trades possible anymore. But hey it was fun and profitable while it lasted. Don’t...
