I kind of feel like, and this is no disrespect to any GT owner (previous GT owner myself), they are great cars, but it would be a lot easier to find a GT you like if you get the M1 and change your mind, than to get a GT first and then want to find a M1.

The shipping company finally picked mine up from Granger. I should have it very soon.

Looks like a good company and competitive price. Anyone in Northern or Southern California that may be getting a car by December? Maybe we can arrange to have a group delivery. Imagine the transporter full of Mach 1 cars from Granger

Go back and look at all of the pictures posted of silver Mach 1’s Hard to beat that. Lifetime powertrain warranty would be nice. I know I’m biased but I would stick with the Mach 1. The white gt is a nice car no doubt but I like cars that are a little more unique that you’re not likely to see another one around.

That’s the thing with owning a GT. The Ford Performance toy store is SO complete, you can actually MAKE a GT much more unique than any M1 and you can do it with all factory parts and then register it in the Ford Performance registry. Besides, if you ordered the A10 you're missing one of the major reasons for even owning a Mach 1. At that point it makes the GT much more attractive.

Also mention that less than $1000 separates the two vehicles, mainly because the 4% under invoice price I received on the Mach 1

I’m struggling to see the argument for the gt even more now……..

I think a couple things bother me. It’s got to be my daily, car seems to nice to be a daily and I can’t picture myself driving it daily.

And I’m not fan of the digital cluster. I’m in the minority on that. But I prefer the classic analog gauges

But I’m trying not to let that bother me

I agree. A lot of the testers found the Shelby parts in the Mach 1 are not just parts bins but fine tuned by Ford engineers. That was what sold me for the Mach 1 (I originally was thinking of a GT with the GT performance package and magneride just because I also wanted adaptive cruise control). I gladly forego of the adaptive cruise control for the Shelby suspension parts.

Anyhow, I doubt there is a right answer. We just have to get the car that fits our needs/wants the best.

yeah, the reviews have convinced me I made the right decision. seems most went into the car expecting an overpriced mustang, a let down compared to the GT350. and came out saying it is a capable track car, while not as inspiring and unique as the GT350, but is more streetable than the 350, and without the engine concerns.

You’ll love daily driving it. Sometimes I almost wish I had a longer drive to work so I’d have an excuse to drive it. If you’re worried about get some PPF and ceramic.
I wasn’t a big fan of the digital cluster until I got my car and now I really like it. Now I look at the analog setup as very dated looking.

I really dislike the analog gauge setup on the Mustang. For comparison here is the dash on the Mustang v my MX-5:

V the Mustang

Now ya'll are probably sick of my crowing about how awesome my Mazda is in terms of design and fit and finish....but just consider. On the MX-5, when you look at the gauges, the first thing you see in the prime real estate position is an oversized tachometer. Which to me, is the most important instrument (at least for a driving experience). Immediately off to the right you see a perfectly legible speedometer, and off to the left all of your ancillary indicators (temperature, fuel efficiency, odometer, gas gauge).

OK, now compare that to the Mustang GT cluster. Front and center you have.....the ancillary gauge display, with a default setting of a fuel efficiency display?! Like what the hell. OK I realize that you can reset that to show braking forces, and I think even a digital speedometer, but that's prime real estate Ford. Then off to the right and left you have the tach and speedo, but they are in deeply recessed 'wells' for styling purposes and are more difficult to see compared to the MX-5.

Anyway I'll say it again- I am very excited for my Mustang, but man do I wish Ford had some help in the interior design department *cough from Mazda cough*

Absolutely. Of all the digital dashes I saw in various performance cars like BMW or Audi, I like Mustang's most. Clean look, different design modes, customization of everything. It looks great.
