Yeah I get that and considered that myself. I had a 2k private offer that was expiring in May to stack on the deal I had already negotiated with the dealer. With that plus the 0% financing and the PP1 going up another 1k midyear I figured this was the best time to buy for me as it would be extremely difficult to replicate the deal I got once the economy bounced back. Additionally, I've never bought a mustang in spring because the deals usually aren't as good as end of summer or fall. I've owned a 13 and a 15 so initially the 18-20 front end wasn't my speed but it grew on me and now I like it better. If they give the Mach front end to the GT I will probably prefer that but I'm still very happy with my car. Now if they give the GT the Tremec... oh well I guess.
Yeah, I saw this on Steeda's site. I don't know where they got this information. I am skeptical based on the known change in wheel size, but no change in tire size. Haven't found any other sources or pix that show the base Mach 1's tires size. Hope to catch the car itself at Ford National in Carlisle, PA six weeks from now. That said, Ford says these are Vehicle Prototypes, so who knows if all that stuff is set in stone yet.Base Mach 1 tires on the left, HP Mach 1 tires on the right. So Base Mach 1 has identical tires as GT PP1
Still can’t shake the headlights they borrowed from the Dodge Dart...Hmmm. You pick a blurry, non PP1 or PP2 GT front end photo compared to a high res handling pack Mach 1. How about these pics of a PP2? At least it gives the car a fighting chance vs the Mach 1 handling pack:
Wish you could do it like some car companies, they can let you opt out of summer only tires for like at no charge. good for those Canadian customers in the winter?
why does anyone care about meaningless minutia? Tires are cheap Rip 'em off even before it leaves the show room floor for what you really want.
The shape of the upper grille is differnt, so the Mach 1 grille will not fit 18-21 models
You seriously think tires are meaningless minutia and are cheap? I get it's easy to just switch a set of tires, but even just replacing front two tires, would cost $500-600 for the tires and $50-100 for mounting...if that's cheap to you, then that's awesome? However, not so much for me. More over, I don't want to do it even if I had $700 to burn...I want Ford to do it at the factory.
I'd love to get the handling pack with the Cup2 tires, but I hear they are not street friendly picking up every bit of debris. Do you drive your Cup2s on the street at all?
Ah, I didn't see the connection to the Ford source, thanks! I only saw Steeda's posting of the chart. I'll read and research more closely.
