Mach1 too much car?

[klink]

Ended up with a 21 GT/CS. 7000 miles A10. It is plenty of car for me. I have no interest in doing track days or anything like that. Last Mustang I had was 09 GT. They have come a long way.

Great choice!!

Very nice. The CS is a nice package, definitely a LOT of car, I had a GT 10 speed and it was way more car than I could ever use... Congratulations, the Iconic Silver looks really nice on the CS package...

I'm still learning my Mach 1. I've run out of names for each of the 480 horses in the car . I'm 62 and pretty conservative driver in general. I came from 25 years of motorcycle riding and learned to always be as safe as possible. But, these cars beg you to drive them fast. And boy is it a hoot. I guess to answer to the general question (since this is an old post and OP has found his car!), yes the car can be too much for some people I am sure. And now would some one pose the same question for the GT500?!

I dont know if i would say its too much car but I think its more than i can use. the power junkie in me so badly wants to bolt on a whipple on mine but the realist in me quickly remembers how i struggle to even find a place to use 300 of the 500 ponies I already have. The OHP loves to post on their instagram account all the speeders they nail on the turnpike going 100+, some upwards of 130. They partol very aggressivly with unmarked cars and bikes. I can occasionally hit that on a long onramp in mexico but the traffic quickly ends the fun. The fact simply is this, adding FI or really any more power, FOR ME, is useless. Theres simply nowhere to use it, aside from Cars & Coffee for bragging rights. Maybe thats reason enough......

Yeah in a slow car you can floor it for like 7 seconds just to hit freeway speeds.
But even a stock GT will go from 0 to prison in that time, reducing the amount of full throttle fun you get to have vs a slow car.

So true. With the long onramps coming from frontage roads you could pretty easily get north of 120 as you merged on to the highway. If there was LEO anywhere behind you, the cost of that quantity of fun would be significant, even thought it would be reasonably a low risk pull.

I tested all the GT versions nearly back to back and HPP is perfect for real world with WOT often and Stability System working silently in the back ground in Normal mode.

I do love all of the V8 versions but were too sluggish off the line 0-40, and a guaranteed license loser on the highway with endless 50-130 fun on tap.

M1 is a great car for disciplined drivers but who can resist

The HPP is actually a pretty cool car. I hope to try one someday.
