Mach1 too much car?

[kellyreno]

I was 67 when I got my Mach 1. Just traded it for this after 2 years. Unsure what will come after 2 more years?? You only live once. Enjoy the Mach!

Looks awesome but black wheels would really set it off.

Good time to get a V8. If budget is a concern, you won’t go wrong with a GT. The Mach 1’s unique looks is an added value I was surprised by. I get elated when I see another one in the wild. Do get the heated/cooled seats if you could. If you are going for a manual, Mach 1 for sure. Good luck and pls post a picture of what you end up getting.

then you can't differentiate between wheel and tire. I HATE that. Black wheels without silver highlights (eg. rim cuts) need to be outlawed.

a nice candy blue wheel might work. Or a dark silver. But bright silver is hardly offensive.

blue-jean shorts, bobby socks and white Nike shoes. And hairy shins.

Katzkinz has a true seat cool option, VS our ambient air, and you get to upgrade ro full leather or leather / alacantara type to grip you in the seat.

Age is irrelevant. Suggest you drive them both. You will know what to do

Do not buy a Mach 10-speed unless you get it tuned by Wengerd!
Seriously; if you don’t want a tune your Mach; get the Tremec. Or if you need to have a stick.
It’s just that simple when choosing.
As far as all the other stuff, there’s a ton of upgrades over GT with the non-hp and it’s noticeable.
If you don’t track or live in the country then the HP is a waste of money for someone that wants a practical street car.

I only partially agree. I love daily driving my Mach 1 HP worth it. Just the looks alone is worth it to me. I got the front lip and gurney flap. Just some PS4S and its a perfect daily. DROP

I‘m sorry but this is at best a gross over-generalization and at worst complete nonsense. It may be true of your particular car but you do a disservice to the OP to make him think they’re all unsuitable. They’re not by a long stretch.

I have a Mach A10 and two other A10 GTs and they basically run great. And I run ‘em all exclusively in track mode. The OP doesn’t seem like he’d want to fool around with a tune and he doesn’t need to. If he buys an A10 Mach and it doesn’t run right, that’s what the warranty is for.

Why would you pay extra for the Cup 2 tires that are meant only for track?
The wheels are nicer, yes! but they also force you to buy very expensive size replacement tires, especially if you drive in winter months.
Why would you want a front lip that hinders you from pulling into any slanted drives or will not go over parking blocks.
These are the reasons the non-HP makes more sense for most.

Have you driven a tuned A10 and compared it during normal driving to a stock A10?
If so then you wouldn't say this is nonsense.

EDIT: I guess it makes sense for most but I have 0 issues daily driving it if I had the choice I would get HP again. Each to his own.

Driveway is easy, you just angle approach
tires easy, you sell them Like I did for 1K and buy PS4S
I rather have wide tires than the skinny ones, if cost is an issue maybe a GT is a better option anyway

It‘s possible you missed my point.

They aren’t all undriveable. Not by a long shot. That’s like waving someone off buying a GT350 because “they all blow up”.

I do however completely agree with your comment that “the non-HP makes more sense for most.” That’s fair.
