  1. The price of new tires is getting outrageous.

    That's similar to the experience I had. I play in a local pool league and was leaving the pool hall around 10:30 pm. Took off from a red light very gently, knowing the cold weather had me driving on four round frozen discs. After shifting to 2nd, I had slippage in the rear and slid a bit...
  2. New Owner

    Before buying my Mach 1 last April, I looked at several different cars, including the Toyota (erm, BMW) Supra, the C7 Corvette, the BMW M4, and the Nissan Z. Having previously owned a '15 GT Premium, my loyalty to the Mustang and the V8 eventually won out. Also, the Supra, Vette and Z felt too...
  3. The price of new tires is getting outrageous.

    I'm pretty late to this thread, but I'll throw in my $0.02 anyway. I just bought a new set of Continental Extreme Contact DWS 06 tires for the Mach 1 last November. I loved the grip of the OEM Pilot Sport 4 S tires, but here in NC, it gets too cold in the winter to safely drive on those...
  4. Continental tire DWS06+ -->Which direction should tire be installed via colored lines)?

    Based on the photos on their website, the thin line of tread that has the "DWS" stamped on it should be on the outside. So, the purple/orange rings should be on the outside based on your picture. https://continentaltire.com/tires/extremecontact-dws06-plus If tires are directional, there will...
  5. How many of you guys daily your Mach 1s? Extra credit for manual trans!

    I work from home, but do leave the house about 3-4 times a week to either go to the grocery store or one of my pool league nights. I think even if I had to sit in morning and afternoon rush hour traffic, I'd still have the manual transmission. It's just so much more fun to drive. I had to go...
  6. What would make you sell your Mach?

    The choice of a GT350 vs. Mach 1 was a hard decision for me to make. I likely would have bought a used '19 or '20 GT350 over my M1 if two things would have been different: 1) The price of used GT350s hadn't climbed so high in the last few years (thanks, COVID!) and 2) I could have gotten a GT350...
  7. Mach1 to Corvette to Mach1

    Pass on the Dark Horse for me. There aren't enough good differences between the S650 and S550 for me personally to consider making the switch. Plus, I do NOT like the idea of having to interact with a touch screen for literally every function of the car. As far as a C7 goes, I had a very long...
  8. Just picked up my Mach 1 this morning

    Agreed. That's why my mod list has been and will be nearly all cosmetic/functional stuff. This car is SO very capable already right off the lot. With 480 ponies under the hood and lots of transmission/chassis/cosmetic bits from the GT350 and GT500, why would I, "Average Joe", ever need to do...
  9. Just picked up my Mach 1 this morning

    Good choice on the covers! They really help dress up the white plastic bits of the engine bay. I did go to UM, which is why I was curious if you did. It's also why my username and license plate say "Hurricane." My wife and I try to make it to their games when they come up here to play Duke, UNC...
  10. Just picked up my Mach 1 this morning

    It's a 2022. Here's the LED light set: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08VGTZFQ7 Here's the reverse lock-out collar: CJ Pony Parts link Here's pics of both the installed LEDs and the lock-out collar.
  11. Knob misprint?

    Mine looks pretty centered to my eyes. OP, yours looks like it might be a manufacturing defect.
  12. Just picked up my Mach 1 this morning

    @Canes76, here's my mod list, including what's been done and what's on-tap. YMMV, but at least here's some ideas for you. I've had the car about a month and have 1,600 miles on it. First oil change is coming soon. Done Remove stock air intake restrictor Side and Rear Window Tints Husky Liners...
  13. What would make you sell your Mach?

    If some absolutely insane person wanted to trade me even-Steven for a new GT500, I'd take it, despite being forced into an automatic transmission. I'd instantly make about $45k off the trade, plus I'd be driving a GT500 for the price of a used M1. 😆
  14. Used M1 inventory

    $25k ADM is INSANE. The new 6-speed manual Supra only has about $5k ADM tacked on top of the MSRP. Then again, the C8 Corvette still has crazy asking prices, whether new or used. At this point, I don't know who's more ludicrous, the dealers for asking that much over MSRP, or the public for...
  15. What would make you sell your Mach?

    Sorry if I'm being too literal here, but you asked what would make me sell my Mach 1, meaning, what would force me to sell it. In that regard, I would have to say either some serious injury/ailment that would render me physically unable to drive it, or a dire financial situation. The latter of...
  16. Used M1 inventory

    I have no clue as to why there's a good number of used Mach 1's out there for sale. I've really been loving mine, which I happened to buy used with only 3-months and 700 miles on it from the first owner. I work from home and only put about five to seven thousand miles a year on a car. My Mach 1...
  17. Is there supposed to be a tow hook in the trunk?

    Just as a follow-up in case anyone else wants/needs the stock tow hook, I bought this and it fits perfectly: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00HB9L7I2 Ignore the fact that Amazon says it won't fit a '22 Mustang. It does indeed fit the Mach 1. Plus, the one I got has welds that look much cleaner than...
  18. Is there supposed to be a tow hook in the trunk?

    I bought my '22 Mach 1 used, and the 1st owner only had it for 3 months, but didn't leave anything from the owner's kit in the car. How can I get my hands on a tow hook?
  19. What did you do to your Mach 1 today

    I had an H-pipe on my '15 GT and have listened to countless YouTube videos with various exhaust mods for the Mach 1. I ordered an H-pipe from American Muscle earlier this week, and it'll be here tomorrow with a likely install sometime over the weekend. After that, I'm not touching the exhaust...
  20. Nobody likes Mach 1's

    No, I bought it from a Lincoln dealership in Raleigh, NC.
