Not a Mach 1 hat, just the pony, but I appreciate little gestures like that.

See if you can get a second hat out of em later this week. ;) I like that the color of the hat matches the car, perfect.

I want that hat. And also a 2016 Mustang repair and maintenance manual.

Make sure you get a matching cover too...

that the factory cover? I would like one, but all I have is a carport at the moment, so I need an outdoor cover.

Get one anyway. That way you’ll have it for down the road!

I'm not like the rest of you, buying new sports cars every 6 months . this is the first new vehicle I have bought in 20 years, and I still have that one. and it will likely be the last new vehicle I ever buy. having to make some sacrifices for it too. that $500 for a cover I can't use is pretty hefty

It’s whatever one came with the car...or at least came with the car for an extra $450 . Normally I’d have haggled that out of the deal, but my son was my salesman so I just rolled with it. Probably rarely use it, but it’s cool to have in my trunk.

Will post more tomorrow because I’m whipped and heading to bed, but I did my first track day with the Mach 1 today. Surpassed all my expectations. It was my first track day in 2 years, but I beat my best times from my ‘19 Vette Grand Sport. Never thought that would happen in a Mustang. No issues with the car (except that it likes to eat tires and gas) - it performed like a beast. Just...wow.

Here’s my 2 week old tires after 1 track day...

guessing the weight of the car does not help with tire life huh? something with same power to weight/performance, but much less weight would probably do alot less wear?

I also didn’t reset the camber and stuff for the track, so I got more edge wear than I should have. The weight of the car doesn’t help though. I’ll probably switch to Pilot Super Sports like my Grand Sport had - better for street/year round weather use, but still very good on the track with far less wear.

Considering the price of the cup 2s in those sizes if one would spring for that it is going to get really expensive if they hold up like the picture above….
