I saw a 2021 Mach 1 today in downtown Rochester, MI and spoke to the lady engineer.

See, that's what I'm talking about. Well same could be said about the GT350. If you take the engine and tranny out all you have is a PP2. Illogical, right? So are your comments about the Mach 1.


Are you and Jake related?

Idk if you have me blocked, but it’s funny because me and you pretty much had the same response to this... a GT350 could pretty much be seen as a PP2 with some upgrades, just like the Mach 1. Hell, all 3 could really be seen as an Ecoboost with some upgrades

How about we all remember we're Mustang enthusiasts and shouldn't be arguing about the differences among the versions of the cars we all love. We should be supporting each other in our efforts to get the best out of the cars we have, we want, or we want to build. If we want to waste energy arguing, let's do so for something that we're not already in agreement about.

For all those interested about trans coolers etc. Steeda made a neat chart a while ago:

Thanks for digging that chart up Mustangpegas. I forgot where it was.

That chart was produced by Ford and borrowed by Steeda (and others).

On this link, scroll down and look to the right under "chart"

Looking closely at that chart for the first time, I see something interesting... seems that the HP has a softer front and stiffer rear sway bar than the 2019+ GT350. Front is .7mm narrower than the 350 (both being hollow) and the rear is the same size as the GT350 except it’s solid whereas the 350’s is hollow

Has me thinking, either this car is going to be set up to oversteer more, or maybe Ford is actually going to put some work into it and increase the front spring rates to prevent the nose dive prior to turn-in (which was a major complaint of the PP2) thus wanting a softer front sway bar to keep the balance

Then again, I can’t find PP2 sway bar sizes anywhere, so it’s kind of hard to compare. Really just spitballing here

Wait....all of this silly arguing about the cars when everyone is missing the main point.....what is a female doing being an engineer?! How did that happen? Who allowed it? ..... now.....fight! Lol

White, female engineer?!
Sounds privileged to me!
She should be ashamed of herself!
Lol

I will definitely NOT share this post with my MIT Engineer daughter...or risk the consequences!!

I don’t think the trans coolers on each side of the Mach 5.0 are the same as the Bullitt are they?

Bullit doesn't have those coolers, i don't think

I'm disappointed, I really thought that would get some interesting comments going.....of course it was all a sarcastic joke, but I figured it would have some fun, creative responses

Your joke fell flat because a lot of the world has moved beyond finding humor in thinly disguised put downs of others. I'm not suggesting you intentionally sent it out with that in mind, or harbor those feelings, it's just not very funny or relevant any longer.

I'd argue that the Mach 1 is just an engine-swapped GT350

Seriously, 13 pages and 194 posts and this is best you’ve got? Time to move on, nothing to see here.
