Good choice. Hagerty has an opinion tooHow can we talk about movie Mustangs, and not include this one?
I'd take the Original Eleanor from 1974 over the retread, and nothing comes close to the Bullitt!
IIRC, this car was labeled as a Boss 429 in the movieā¦How can we talk about movie Mustangs, and not include this one?
It was, definitely a mistake.
I didnāt know much about higher level Mustangs until after I got my GT. And reading here. Then after looking at pictures of them I thought the higher up Mustangs only have a small snake on the rear. Haha. Of course they are faster.
Yep and the GT350 is only half as good of a car as the GT500
It absolutely is a contest. Ford discontinued the voodoo complete, for a reason. Most engines get crate offerings, but even ford knows the voodoo is a complete cluster fuck of an engine. the Mach 1 beat the 350 in the lightning laps, and on the track, the better driver between a 350 and a mach 1 will ALWAYS win. there is very little real performance difference between the 2I have excellent taste in things(lol right?), others that also have great taste know what I mean. So i can say with utmost confidence that obviously the gt350 is in a completely different league than the Mach 1. Looks, sound, and performance-feel all go unanimously to the gt350. What else is there to judge a hotrod by except for those three things?
The Mach 1 is literally a gt with shelby parts on it, they should have called it a GT-R instead of sullying the Mach name. Actually saw one today, i recognized it from afar as being a Mach 1 and not a gt cause it had stickers. As i approached, it struck me as unremarkable, and the driver furiously vaping out the window didnt help. Sounded like a gt with a borla cat back, a sound I know well since I owned one.
The reality is they simply would not have put SO many stickers and those HUGE gt500 exhaust tips if they werent needed to give owners a feeling of "hey this isnt just a gt." But it unfortunately is.
Admittedly, Mach 1 owners had/have no other purchase option since they cancelled the gt350 and with no other choice then yes it was/is the top purchase option in terms of new, high-performance oriented, warranteed, stick-shift mustangs...so I understand why people buy it. But I'd bet the farm that if they made the Mach 1 AND continued with the gt350 then people would be buying the gt350 90% of the time, obviously, no contest.

I really love my 3 year old, 41,000 mile VooDoo cluster fuck engineā¦!!!
