General Mach 1 bullshiting thread

The owners kit is automatic right? Do I need to contact FP about that as well? Also at what point do I sign up for the Track-Attack? Sorry for all the questions, you would have thought I would know all the answers as long as I have been here...Lol.

FYI, You only have 12 months from when you get delivery of the car to go to Track Attack. Be aware they are closed some of the season so don t wait too long.

Thanks Mark, I was looking last night. This years schedule looks like it ends pretty soon.

well they do keep adding dates to what you see but I d guess around November it might close for winter. I m going in august and that was as far as they posted when I looked.

It's kinda nuts how easily the front splitter even on the non-HP scrapes (slightly more easily than that in my previous '15 GT PP)... I can only imagine what you folks with the HP are dealing with every day.

Granted, I doubt it's any worse than in my GT4, which is still pretty driveable around town in most places, but I drive it with a very different mentality -- a mentality which I would prefer not to have to use in a DD. Then again, maybe most of you with the HP are not dailying the car.

For the last 15 years I've been riding an SUV and now with the non-HP M1 I realize how crappy the roads are. Every bump on the road is about to give me a heart attack and I am constantly trying to hear the grinding sound... It's crazy, lol.

I concur. I don't daily mine and i mentally go to a much different place when i drive it. I think about where I am going and tend to drive around to scope things out when I arrive. One time i ended up in a non reversible sketchy position and luckily didn't scratch and definitely pissed a few people off when I suddenly came to a stop near a train track on a 50MPH road. However I have been pleasantly surprised at some of the places I managed to get to. You just cant drive it like thoughtless crossover.

Thank you both for the information.

Want to note just cause it wasn't already or not that I've seen. For the track attack experience you just have to register for it before the 1st calendar year is up since you purchased the vehicle to attend. IE I purchased mine November 4th, I'd have to register and attend before this date the following year to go.

Also 2nd note that the attendance dates get added periodically but don't seem to have more than a half dozen dates posted at a time or so. Can't register to far out.

It is so true in so many different ways! I love the way this thing drives and how engaging it is, even without the HP.

I can't even use my race ramps anymore with my non-HP Mach 1. They worked great on my 15GT
Damn splitter! lol

Wait until y’all figure out that the back of the car underneath is really a street sweeper. You wouldn’t believe the crap that gets stuck in there.

I figured that out soon after I got it. rocks get stuck in the crack where the screws are and I poke them out with a tie wrap! lol Sometimes they get in the rear reverse light, wtf!
I'm going to remove the plastic and put a gasket in, or double stick tape.

True story, I pulled mine off last month, even with low miles a good amount of debris and gravel.

Wonder if a piece of molding around it could act as a splash/rock guard and deflect some of it.

I don't recall which ramps I purchased but did get some race ramps and i have like a half inch of clearance butting them up to the tires in front to go up them.
