2022 Mach 1 in new Mischievous Purple Metallic and Grabber Blue Colors hit the market

[I Bleed Ford Blue]

As always. Guess I will have to see it in person.

It's reminds of the 1998 mystic cobra.. Which was cool..More green than this purple.

Just keep in mind. You ever want to do paint work. It might not be cheap.

It was 1996 that had the mystic cobra

If I had the coin to buy another mustang, I would get a MP mach 1, I already have a grabber blue vert. But who wouldn't want a matching pair of GB mustangs, one a vert and the other a mach 1

Mach 1 has a tremec….Huge difference.

Yep, that's huge. I had a 2016 GT and went to a GT350. I don't know where my brain went. Obviously the manual transmission difference is significant.

Classic. You dont know what it is yet you know it’s dumb.

All M1s
-all the 500 coolers
-magnaride
-special chasis tuning
-tremec option
-all GT Premium options and PP1
-350 front and rear subframes
-350 Intake, throttle body, manifold
-likely missed something

Later.

I'm actually glad you clarified this for me. You should go and work for Ford. It is difficult to make heads or tails about things when Ford's message and details seem to be hit or miss. This list makes it clear.

The original press release says it all.

Can we all get some pics of Mischievous Purple outside in the sunlight?

This should be a sticky post, containing these also.

We get the question "what is the difference....?" a lot.

Love this! Many thanks.

def think the original oil slick name is a better fit.

Follow up questions:
1. Under steering and stability control, what does "Mach 1 tuning" actually mean?
2. Under suspension, what does "Unique Mach 1 chassis tuning" mean?

That’s means the computer management for both is specifically tuned for the Mach 1 and those algorithms can’t be found on other vehicles.

I will always call it Oil Slick Purple!

Yes that is what it means...supposedly.

The question is is it actually different. Ford will say it is, is that truthful? could it just be marketing...?
I think it is different, and FRPP spent time dialing it in to indeed be the most track capable 5.0L Mustang.

Personally, having driven GT, GT PP1, GT350 and owning the Mach 1..... They all feel a bit different, surprisingly so to me. Specifically, the rear end in the M1 feels much more planted than the GTs, it inspires a lot of confidence to push. Perhaps this is placebo, but I'm convinced something is going on back there to help the car out. I also feel that the M1 magneride is actually more compliant over poor pavement in normal mode, the GT PP1 had magneride too so its apples to apples comparison. Possible placebo but its how I feel.

Best advice is drive both! I know it would be hard to drive in a manner where this is going to come into play on a test drive but, hey I was allowed to drive new GT unattended!

Again my own impression, especially at the track, that the M1 rear end grip inspires more confidence than I think the GT would have. Near the edge I always felt like the GT had the capability for the rear to slip out under me violently and I had to be more conscious (slower) with it.

The M1 has the GT500 rear subframe so that might be the difference you’re feeling.

Grabber Blue always looked good to me I would have gotten if that had that color in 2016.

 

[Bit_the_Bullitt]

The Purple, much like the Bullitt's DHG will be VERY dependent on the light around it. I think that's going to be awesome, a dark/deep tone on cloudy days, but pop really nice on a sunny day.

I'm glad that Mustang keeps the colors fresh.
