Mach 1 "Express" to the West

[JG M1]

We finally got to pickup our Mach 1 on Saturday from Granger!!!!!!! Everything was great with the car and they did everything I requested them to do without a problem. They did not install the front lower splitter, as per my request, that was a big mistake! That thing is HUGE, had to flip down the rear seat to make it fit in the back seat and trunk. My wife with me, AA spare tire and all the luggage made for nice "cozy" fit.

Ashleigh & Shelby were off on Saturday but they had Savannah, Britney and Catelyn handle the delivery and the paper work and everything went off without a hitch and we were on our way in about 1/2 hour. They were all very sweet.

The only thing that didn't cooperate was the weather, it was pouring rain that continued almost the entire ride through Iowa and Nebraska. Cup2 tires in the rain for 420 miles was not fun but we came through unscathed. I have an extra set of HP wheels and PS4s at home waiting, I would have loved to have them on the car in the rain, Oh well.
Of course it stopped raining when we pulled into the Hotel.

Looks sweet! Glad it worked out for you.

Did you get the A10 or Tremec 3150?
Recaros or regular seats?

A10 and the power heated and cooled leather. The seats are really comfortable.

What are your thoughts on the A10?

I'm not running it to hard yet, but observations so far are pretty good. The shifts seem quick and are positive at partial throttle. Don't know about full throttle shifts yet.

These are the situations where FJG really shines. Don't worry if it will grow on you .

Saw a FJG in the wild (versus parked) and the exhaust note sounded fantastic. The sunlight made the color pop as well. Looks great and sounded intimidating. I like it!

I never really noticed any ill effects or lack of power in all the high elevation driving we did. You should have asked about the splitter, I would have told you. I should have shown you all the junk in our trunk on our trip, no splitter, but a ton of stuff, and it all fit. The S550 Mustang has a surprising amount of trunk space.

Too bad you're basically waiting the Cup2's doing delivery on them. Remember to do a 180 turn, if you see a "Chip and Seal" roadwork ahead sign!

Mine is still the only Mach1 I've seen in the wild. Still getting those "looks" and thumbs ups.

Looking forward to seeing the rest of your trip, when/where are you turning south?
