I've been thinking a lot about this. All my cars have been daily drivers. To my mind (after all, this is pretty subjective,) the Mach 1 is better overall than the GT350:

--the GT350 was a lot of fun with the sound of that Voodoo engine, and I loved having "Shelby" on my car, but ... while both are fantastic track cars, the Mach 1 is arguably better, having more and newer technology (such as the subframe from the GT500.)

--the Voodoo engine was high in horsepower, but the Coyote has better low-end torque.

--the Mach 1 look and profile is even nicer than GT350's. (Remember, subjective!)

--the "Mach 1" badges are larger and more visible than those tiny "GT350" rectangles.

--it's been, like, eighteen years since the last Mach 1 was produced, so it feels at least as rare as a Shelby Mustang.

One finding delusion may overlook reality.

better isn't the word i'd use unless you're talking specific subjects.

1. looks? no.
2. speed? no.
3. handling? no idiea.
4. sound? no.
5. reliability? yes.

they're different animals imo. comparing them is like comparing a 350 to the 500. purpose built to different ends.

To me the 350 is closer to the Mach 1 then the 350 is to the 500.
1. Looks? An edge to the GT350 but they're practically the same thing.
2. Speed? Yes but the A10 Mach 1 is neck and neck.
3. Handling? A handling pack Mach 1 is better IMO. Otherwise GT350.
4. Sound? Subjective but the raspiness is not for everyone. Lots of harmonics. But for uniqueness it's obvious the GT350 is one of a kind.
5. Reliability? Mach 1
6. Track worthiness? A toss
