I'm not even going there...I was fine with all that. But if you're slapping parts from a parts bin at least be somewhat original/creative aesthetically speaking. Give it that differentiating factor over other models. Ford thinks they can shove it down our throats and charge 8-10k more. I strongly believe that's why Bullitt wasn't as popular - it looked so bland. Lazy.
can correct me if wrong, but I don't believe ANY other Mach1 got any special center cap on steering wheel previously either? So not sure why this one should have. Yes exhaust sounds fantastic. I'm happy with the dash plate and sill plates saying Mach 1. along with the badging on the outside, not gonna complain about none on steering., Dont think would have looked right anyway.
So an upgraded front fascia, splitter, spoiler, rear diffuser, and more aren’t differentiating enough? Sounds more like a personal problem... I think the way they designed the car was flawless
Don't bother, if they don't see the design differences and hardware upgrades and don't deem them worthy then you won't persuade them otherwise.
agree 100% , but actually think the Bullitt did actually have one badge on the back of the car
its not about insecurity or taking things personal so much as its annoying and weird that the car has been out for months and people are trickling in to a thread with their complaints. i'm questioning the point of that. i dont see the purpose it serves other than to get shit started that takes away from the discussion everyone else is trying to have.
exactly right. this has been the problem since the car was unveiled. i want an N/A predator, gt350 brakes, unlimited options BUT i want it for the price of the bullitt! where did these expectations even come from? what other package that was based of the gt got all of the upgrades some were expecting here? and we have some saying its overpriced as is. there would have been riots on here had the mach 1 included all of those things and was priced at $70k
So your point is what exactly? The +3k paper price over GT covers improved parts, different look and premium for limited edition. Is it too much for you to pay? Then don't buy it, especially if you have GT350. For the rest of us Mach 1 has plenty of visual and hardware differences over GT and if we like them, we buy it.
if you think the bullitt was bland, you don't understand what they set out to do with that car. the whole point of it is to be understated and a tribute to a specific car from history.
It was a YUGE miss on Ford's part (backed up by financial numbers too). The original bullitt is STILL more aggressive and aesthetically better looking than the new gen. Big miss. I wouldn't be surprised if the Mach 1 #'s from Ford will be below Bullitt's. Aggressive sells. GT350 had both.
Get ready to be surprised then. The Mach will absolutely outsell the bullitt, provided another China virus doesn’t hit us and disrupt production too much. You would be a fool not to think so. The bullitt had to compete against the pp2 and Shelby. Mach doesn’t have those.
