Well, it has been 16 years since I had my last mustang. I am definitely due for either a Mach 1 or a Shelby GT350 in 2021. Just waiting to see if the Mach 1 will have a Ford Performance/Roush supercharger available. If it does, I will order the Mach 1 with the handling package & appearance package, and have Ford install the blower. Does anyone know if you can upgrade the Mach 1 brakes to the Shelby GT350 level?
Getting a SC kit is no problem as the Mach 1 motor is nothing special. Just find a Roush dealer and you’re good to go. The brakes can be upgraded but not from the factory.

You do know that there is no 21’ GT350? If you want one you might start looking now for a 20’.

Yes, Plan B is to get a 2020 GT 350. I am sure some dealerships will have some in their lots. The question will be do they have the colors I like. :-)

The Ford performance/roush supercharger prior to delivery sounds tempting. I wonder what the cost on that would be.

So your brake upgrades, was it larger rear rotors (14 inch) or just the caliper colors?

Just red paint, it already comes with brembos
I think the red paint was more $ than the wheel upgrade so a huge rip off but yolo right!
I think it will look bad ass with black and red pinstripe

I gotta ask, are you planning on running the car full tilt on a road course?

If not, stop being concerned about the brakes. The brakes are perfectly fine on track

If so, then you may wanna rethink your plans for boost

Yes, I plan on going to a road course at least twice a year. I am not sure what the measurements of the rear brakes are. It appears to be lacking. The front brakes I believe are 15.5 inches, which is great, but the rear I think might be 13 inch’s. Nevertheless, I will wait for more information to come out for this car, but I like this car and the GT 350. I rather get the Mach 1 and make the necessary upgrades. If I am wrong about the rear brakes, well, that is one less upgrade.

Either car will run with a supercharger. So which ever I buy will have one for sure.

I certainly hope to see some Mach 1s in Denmark but the base Mach 1 will start at $154,000 so probably will be only a few of them.

I only saw one Bullitt and there is in general very few S550s

Mach 1 front brakes are 15”, rear are 13”. With some decent pads and fluid, they’re plenty good enough

You may want to run a few events before doing that. You’ll find that the power is unnecessary, and once you add boost, you’ll regret it

Aftermarket boost is for drag cars, not road course cars
