  1. How tall of a speed bump can your Mach 1 slow roll straight over?

    I guess the title says it all. Iā€˜ve had some unavoidable surprise speed bumps pop up overnight and just thought Iā€™d ask yā€™allā€™s experience before I tried going over one. Best I can measure these are a little over 2.5ā€ but look taller to the eye. Theyā€™re nasty even in my wifeā€™s Outback. My...
  2. Guys, how important is the “Shelby” name to the enjoyment of your car?

    I mean if your current GT350/500 was badged as a ā€œMach 2ā€œ and didnā€™t say Shelby anywhere on it, would it still be as special to you as it is? Letā€™s face it; regardless of what assembly line they went down, who blessed them, what registry they are or arenā€™t on or any other useless point...
  3. Which wins the “coolest looks” contest-Mach 1 or GT350?

    So my wife and I are at Publix this afternoon. Sheā€™s trained herself to BOLO for nice looking S550s in the unlikely event I miss one. Well, we go by a clean dark gray coupe parked in the lot and I kinda just roll by it when she says ā€œhey whatā€™s that little emblem on the back?ā€ I back up and sure...
  4. Trade Mach “up” to a GT350 or keep it and modify?

    This is kinda a mental exercise sort of thing so I get it if you arenā€™t bored enough to waste bandwidth on it. Iā€™m determined to keep one manual S550 until they pry the cueball out of my right hand. And I have two A10 S550s in case that happens. I really love pretty much everything about this...
  5. So why did Ford put a staggered setup with 19x9.5/255s on the front of the base Mach 1?

    It couldnā€™t just be the $5/car theyā€™d save. It just seems like it would have much simpler just to go square with 19x10/275s all around. My reason for wondering is that at some point I may look into custom wheels for my ā€˜23s and 19x10 opens up the choices and becomes rotatable I suppose. But Iā€™m...
  6. Street guys: even if you can’t use all you have, do you still want more?

    Sometimes I really wonder if itā€™s just me. Or maybe itā€™s just the mentality of true car guys. But I have a hard time being satisfied with what I have. An S550 GT is probably as perfect for most people as a street car gets. In fact, itā€™s probably more car than I and most have the ability to fully...
  7. GT500 noob has pre-purchase questions: Now, what’s it worth?

    Iā€™m considering taking the plunge on a seriously overpriced 12 mile 2022 HE GT500 with CFTP. It still has the plastic on the seats and mats, steering wheel condom still on, all window stickers, etc. etc. You know the drill; it was bought to flip. But if I grab it Iā€™m not gonna just collect it...
  8. Quick 2022 window sticker question

    In looking at the window stickers on a couple of 2022 GT500s I noticed the hp rating was absent up top with the engine description where you normally see it on other Mustangs. Seemed odd. They are all still the same 760 hp arenā€˜t they?
  9. Hypothetical “which car(s) would you prefer and why” question

    Itā€™s actually not hypothetical for me. Iā€™m fast running out of garage space. Truth be told I am out and Iā€™ve got to do something soon to get my wifeā€™s car back under roof. Iā€™m currently hogging all 3 bays and sheā€™s unhappily in the driveway. One answer is to build another garage but thatā€™s...
  10. Anybody ever watch TV auctions and get tempted to trade your Mustang for a classic muscle car?

    For obvious reasons this would probably only apply if your Mustang is a toy or at least not a DD. Iā€˜ve gotta admit it happens to me from time to time, but as much as I love classic muscle I always seem to snap out of it and come to my senses. I guess Iā€™m just crazy about these Mustangs. Plus...
  11. I’m not sure there’s a consistently measurable delta in 0-60 and 1/4 mile times among any of the 2018-2024 GTs

    What got me to thinking about this was reading the performance related posts over at 7G after the embargo expired. The S650 guys are handling it pretty well but itā€™s easy to see theyā€™re rightfully disappointed that the extra horsepower hasnā€™t made the ā€˜24s straight-line monsters. Itā€™s early data...
  12. I think the 21-23 Mach 1 might just be the best bang-for-your-buck specialty Mustang we’re likely to ever see from Ford again

    So Iā€™m tooling down the road today about to touch 300 miles on the odometer of my new 6MT 600a Mach 1. Iā€™m in track mode and the car sounds like rolling thunder and is pulling really strong. People who donā€™t even know what it is are straining to gawk at it and my day is just pure joy. I mean...
  13. Got lucky and found a manual ‘23 Mach 1

    And a few hours later Iā€™m home with it. I do appreciate all of your help. Long boring story but turns out it was only 80 miles away where I bought my ā€™23 A10 Mach a couple months ago. Itā€˜s an Oxford White 600a car which is fine by me. Iā€™ve always liked the cloth interiors and I almost never use...
  14. Base ‘23 Mach 1 with no package?

    So what would I be missing that I have on my premium 700a Mach 1? Other than leather of courseā€¦ Edit: the package is 600a.
  15. In looking around at dealerships, has anybody seen a new 6MT Mach 1 looking for a new home?

    I guess the title kinda says it all. Iā€˜m likely looking for a garage mate for my ā€˜23 A10 Mach. I realize itā€™s a little late but you gotta strike while the ironā€™s hot and looks like the iron may be heating up. The option may be to order up a ā€˜24 GT the way I want it but Iā€™d prefer the ā€˜23 Mach...
  16. In looking around at dealerships, has anybody seen a new 6MT Mach 1 or a 6MT GT looking for a new home?

    I guess the title kinda says it all. Iā€˜m likely looking for a garage mate for my ā€˜23 A10 Mach. I realize itā€™s a little late but you gotta strike while the ironā€™s hot and looks like the iron may be heating up. The option may be to order up a ā€˜24 GT the way I want it but Iā€™d prefer the ā€˜23 Mach...
  17. Can rev matching be adjusted?

    The rev matching on my 700 mile A10 Mach 1 seems way too aggressive. The car is bone stock. Always in track mode if you attempt to slow down going downhill, especially if youā€™re braking, the car begins downshifting madly from 6th or 7th all the way to 2nd and shoots up to 6000 Rs. Sounds...
  18. Maybe the best power adder is to just wait a while…

    To get right to it, Iā€™m wondering if any of you folks have noticed a fairly significant power increase in your V-8 S550 Mustang between say the first couple hundred miles and maybe 2-3,000 miles? I donā€™t mean the ā€œyeah maybe itā€˜s a little more responsiveā€œ kind of thing but enough that you could...
  19. I think I just got real lucky on a new Mach 1

    Boring medical issues just came up that dictate I quickly needed to trade my new Tremec M1 for an A10. Not that I had any trouble with it; I loved it. But these issues of mine may mean my wife will have to come ā€œrescueā€ me and she cannot drive a manual no way, no how. So I found exactly what I...
  20. A10 weirdness with new Mach 1

    Guys, just picked up a new 23 Mach 1 and only have about 90 miles on it, but Iā€™m 2+ hours back to the dealer. Iā€™m getting some slippage in track mode on the 1-2 upshift, especially if Iā€™m turning. Iā€™ve heard itā€™s a chore to check the trans oil. Can yā€™all enlighten me?
