4k(ish?) RPM clutch dump launches on the strip for me. That was so brutal. I felt terrible for poor #1.

I went several weeks ago and it was such an amazing experience. I've attending a few driver camps, and the FRP school was by far the most professional, useful and most importantly, FUN. I know I'm being iterative at this point, but I highly, highly recommend attending for anyone able. I feel so...

I don't. I actually put the exhaust in sport mode for the sake of the locals but that is seemingly loud enough. The few deer I've encountered are always aware of me when I come by. I had a pretty funny encounter with one that turned completely around to watch me as I drove by slowly while we...

I'm well aware. Thank you.

Ugh, no heat on it unforunately. There are a few heated options but they are relatively expensive. The wheel is: ACCELATEC Steering Wheel Perforated Black Leather Black Stitching Red Stripe Mustang 2018-2023. I bought it from CJ pony parts (not affiliated). The wheel is great for spirited...

There is a highway that runs mostly parallel to this road so the only people that drive it are locals. This is also at 5-6 am. I do this cruise every weekend, and many times I won't see another soul.

Yeah, as quick as I'm driving, it is still only 7/8 10ths. I'm obviously okay with risk for myself but not for other people. I've also come around a few corners to various animals and if I was moving at track speed, I wouldn't be able to stop.

Early morning downhill POV driving my 2023 Mach 1 6-speed non-HP with Recaros. Also, the FPRS Mach 1 School was an absolute blast. I had no idea Motor Speedway was such a great road course!

I'm not contesting your overall point but there are a few more differences. The M1 has the GT500's rear end which results in pretty different on-power handling compared to the GT350. The M1 also has Ford's EPAS active nibble control & pull drift compensation which reduce feel a tiny bit, while...

It's the combination. The rear toe-link causes on-power toe-in which results in mild understeer. The MagneRide is then calibrated to allow more forward weight transfer during lift-off. The end result is a car that feels more stable & playful. Another thing rarely mentioned, is the M1 also...

You're not wrong. Aside from the exterior bits, I don't think a single physical part is bespoke for the Mach 1. That said, you wouldn't be able to exactly replicate the setup due to bespoke MagneRide and ESC tuning. Either way, I can definitely see why people don't find value in the Mach 1. I'm...

I never see mule deer on this mountain for whatever reason but I've had a few close calls with turkeys.

Not to rub it in but The full video is 25+ minutes like this clip without a single other car in sight.

GoPro 9 & a generic head strap mount

I'll be there next month with a buddy!

I apologize for the sound quality. Still trying to figure out the best solution for that. The car is a bone stock 2023 non-hp 6-speed Mach 1 with Recaros. I have put just under 4k miles on the car since I purchased it at the end of February. Most of the miles have come from roads like this one...

Really interesting how aligned Mach 1 owner's mentality about cars seems to be. I was so close to buying a 1LE/2SS or a CT4 Blackwing but couldn't justify either, the former for this exact reason. After sitting in a Camaro, I knew I would regret it because of the ridiculously high belt line...

100%. That is really what I meant by the car being so impressive. There is so much performance and livability for a relatively low price. The car isn't perfect but it such a good complete package. And ha, yeah. My Mach 1 would be right at home with it's grandfather. Colorado mountain roads are...

I've been driving my car pretty hard since I picked it up on Tuesday. I'm not sure if the effort has decreased or if I've just gotten used to it but the engagement has smoothed out considerably and it feels fantastic after 800 miles. I do want to reiterate that I've been driving the car hard...
