A Base GT with PP1 and 10spd auto already holds its own with the 1320. Also the wider front wheels would hinder it at a drag strip, not help.

by calling the Bullit anything more than a rebadged GT is more than generous. To call it the "ultimate street mustang" we're getting a little ahead of ourselves. lol. Lastly I have a manual and so does the Bullit, but realistically the 10 speed is the ultimate, modifiable, street mustang. Period.

He's more paraphrasing reviews. A few long term reviews called the Bullitt the best Mustang that embodies what people think when they think "Mustang".

Having family who works for the Big 3 in Detroit, I got some inside information on the Mach 1.
Ford is definitely going "Retro".... but only going "Retro" back to the mid-70's.
It seems that going retro to the late 60's is now getting old, so they are going to move to the next retro generation.
Behold, the newest Mach 1:
Look on the Bright Side... at least its Grabber Blue!!!
LEGAL DISCLAIMER: I did grow up in the Detroit area, but the "inside information" is complete hog-wash. (What exactly is "hog-wash" anyways? Soap for your pig before you turn it into bacon strips?)

I would have guessed that it will use a cross plane crank version of the 5.2 to keep it a cheap, parts bin upgrade much like the last Mach 1 using a slightly revised version of the previous years Cobra DOHC motor. There are some valid points here thought that would add more cost to that approach than a small, niche market package could bear though. It would be even cheaper to use the existing Bullitt motor and apply a generous coat of marketing on it so I'm afraid I won't get my hopes up.

I'd prefer the fogs to move back into the grill.There's also this rendering floating around online what the 2021 Mustang could look like.?. I'm sure the Mach 1 would getits own specific grill and badge.

Make it with a 500hp NA 5.2 with a DCT priced at 55k and itll be the best option in the lineup period!
At 55k for a 500hp 5.2 and DCT it would print money too!

Uhm... how exactly are they putting gas in this mule? The fuel door seems to be missing...You are 100% correct, it is a powertrain mule. I know a little...
Well, hopefully a powertrain mule for the Mach 1You are 100% correct, it is a powertrain mule. I know a little...
(c'mon, spill what little you know
)If it's NOT a Mach 1, then it would still have to be a special edition based off the GT. That rear fascia and huge exhaust tips are not stock GT......and I'd be surprised if they were to become stock GT items for the '21MY.

That’s what I said too... it’s not outlined in the camo where it would normally be located - even when blowing up the images much larger...
it’s probably going to be the GT PP3.
I don’t know how anyone can say “hey, that’s the MACH 1, because the photographer said it has V8 noise”.... LOL....
