I’m Jason and just placed an order for my first mustang.

2023 Mach 1 with the 6 speed in FJG.

Been driving manuals on and off since I got my license, unfortunately they seem to be a dying breed and I wanted a true performance manual before they go the way of the dinosaur so here I am.

Hello. Just ordered a 23 Mach 1 today. Appreciate the knowledge I’ve received from this forum. Looking forward to engaging and informative discussions.

Hello, my name is Kenny and I’m 44 yes young. Just purchased my first Mustang, a 22 GT 300A car in Atlas Blue. Love the car and the color. Can’t wait to start nodding it a little. I plan on adding the Sync 3 radio, digital dash cluster, leather seats, and maybe a white stripe down the center of the car. I know that I probably should have bought a premium GT, but the color had me first sight.

Hi all, I'm Scott; 42 and from the Northwest area of Chicago. Bought a used 2021 Mustang GT Premium a few months ago. Absolute black with window tint, manual transmission, active valve exhaust, 401A package and a few other add-ons.

Very fun car to drive and I'm getting ready to fall down the mod's rabbit hole next year after it warms up. Been looking through the forums here for a bit and thanks to everyone for all the tips and tricks.

Hi I'm Todd from BAMA!!!

Been tire kicking for a new Mustang since 2012. I saw a Grabber Blue Boss 302 car filling up next to me @ Costco. It was the first time a Ford product caught my eye since my horrific head-on collision in my 2000 Lightning. I spent 14 hours unconscious in the hospital from the impact and driver's side airbag shoving my head thru the driver's side window.

Back story on me.... My father and uncle worked and owned a Ford dealership in downtown Seattle until they sold it in the mid 70's. I was born April 7th, 1964, and my father was @ his usual watering hole instead of the hospital when I was born. To say my mom was pi$$ed was laughable..... I've heard the story 1000 times in my 58 years! To make amends my father grabbed a 1964.5 convertible Mustang off the showroom floor and brought my mom and I home. Didn't work as my mom hated that car from day 1. but kept it and daily drove it til 1976 when she bought a 4 door 1976 302 powered Maverick! I thought I was going to get the Mustang as I had the matching pedal car, but NO.....my older sister got it because she had just got her DL and I was a couple years from mine! My family bleeds Ford Blue!

After my wreck, my current wife laid down the law.....No more...... buy something that's safe and sane for the streets. No more 5.0s....Saleens....Lightnings, so I bought my first Mercedes Benz. I drove that 2000 AMG until 2019 (289K miles) and finally traded it for my current 2013 E550 coupe. The E550 is an amazing car, just as the prior AMG was, but I'm itching for, or feeling the need for a new V-8 powered manual transmission car!

I've been a sucker for Grabber Blue since 1970..... My uncle drove a 70 Grabber Blue Boss 9 car for years until gas got scarce and $$$! It was sold and he moved into a T-Bird, but his wife kept her grocery getter...1971 Maverick Grabber...yes...matching Grabber Blue! I spent countless Saturdays washing, waxing and changing oil etc. on both cars for spending money. Yes....I've washed, waxed the underside of a Boss 9 and a Maverick! Fast forward to the 80's and my aunt and uncle decided the Maverick needed to go to make room in the garage for a Fairmont wagon! $500.00 later I was the proud owner of a 1 owner, Grabber Blue Maverick Grabber.

I really thought I was going to be the new owner of a Grabber Blue Shelby GT350, but after test driving a few different model years, I really was left kinda.....hmmmmm. Don't get me wrong.....wonderful car, but something about the clutch and really having to wind the motor just pulled me back by the shirt collar. Again.....awesome car...just not for me. I inquired with my local dealer about ordering a Mach1 and was told all their allocations were in and spoken for, Ford had closed orders for the model.
The local Mercedes dealer called me last week and said they had taken in a Race Red non HP Mach1 with 1600 miles on it and asked if I was interested. I test drove it a couple hours later and really liked what I felt and saw. I offered them a fair cash price which they turned down and drove home. My phone has been ringing non-stop ever since. I went back on line and started searching nationwide for one....my surprise Ford must of decided to spray a bunch of Grabber Blue Mach1's since there were at least 10 new ones sitting on dealer lots. I sent out feelers to all that matched my options wishes and let the games begin!

I'm off to Michigan Wed or Thurs to collect my new 2022 Grabber Blue HP Mach1 !! Can't wait........... I'll miss the Benz. but ya only live once!!!

Hello all I’m Max and just got a base 22 Mustang GT M6 with 301A and Active Valve. I just got rid of 22 Camaro ZL1 A10 after 10 months and still wanted something with speed but almost paid off. It’s quite a different car from ZL1 but still seems fun. I have put Limo all they way around and got GT500/Mach 1 Swing on the way and looking at Tires & Wheels asap. Would 285/35ZR20 fit on the car for those that are in the know.

 

[MAGS1]

Absolutely 285/35R20 works all day long

Scott here...just picked up a 2015 GT w/ 50th Anniversary package. A great canvas to start with.

Hello everyone! Just picked up a 2018 GT and I’m looking forward to tinkering with it. Over the years I’ve been into several different platforms; foxbody, wrx, rx7, etc… I’m in central Illinois, don’t assume there are many others in the area.

Congratulations on your S550! Tell us more about your Mustang, Here’s a guy in Chicago that has a nice S550 that went from FBO to boosted. He seems to be running pretty good too.

Thanks man! It's a '18 PP1 with 6k miles. The fella I bought it from picked it up in 2020 and shortly after took it to Brenspeed to have a Roush blower installed along with steeda exhaust and some steeda suspension stuff, katskinz leather, and the American Racing 20x9/10.5 wheels.

I think I've watched some of that fella's videos!

Cool! Sounds like you’ve got yourself a nice platform to build on.Any idea how much power it’s putting down at the tires?

I don’t know for sure, but most cars I’ve seen dyno’d with a Roush Stg2 kit like I have were between 625-650 wheel

A10 or manual tranny?

Manual. The fun but slow one. This thing needs a shifter or support brace bad, the shifter feel on the mt82 is trash
