Hi RR, the PP2 was my screen background for the last couple years. Was disappointed when they dropped it. No Red PP2 on the market right now. Plus I need the automatic. Left knee is getting old and creeky. Though i am glad we can get a Mach1 with auto. Still on the list of If can swing it.
Good points. I was hoping to wait for the 2023 announcement and then decide whether to get a S550 or S650. That went out the window when they delayed the car delivery to 2024. So of the models available i Like the Race Red Mach 1 with auto and 700A interior and no handling package. Though it looks cool I think it's a little touch for me. So it would run around $75k plus tax so $85k and it has all the good stuff I like. The other choice is a PP1 auto with 401a active exhaust and Magneride and red interior. It's $73K taxes in. The car I saw yesterday was nice (as are all mustangs tbh) and well priced at $52900 plus tax so $56k PP1 auto, B&O sound system Rapid red but no active exhaust and no Magneride. Money is a consideration. It'll take me a couple weeks to get that sorted. Or just go the dealership and order one. Still thinking. Next stop is the dealership.
Good points all and out was those points i was using to put the Mach 1 into the conversation. My better half aost died when she found out the price for a summer only car so you know I had to rethink that. It's still on the list. I posted my three options that I'm looking at above. It would be a sweet ride but then again so would the PP1 I spec'd out.
I was wondering about PPF. Is that Paint Protection Film? I got the 3m for the SUV hood but the front end is pock marked like crazy. Winter salt what can you do eh?
Oh, if the e/b HHP and GT came with a Tremec over that mt82. I'd have a manual in my Stang. But I think the ZF 5 speed in my '88 F-150 shifted better than the mt82.Not denying this at all...
just saying paddles aren't as fun as the manual in my opinion. I had a 10R80 in my '19 (street-driven only), and I found it to be about as thrilling as a bowl of oatmeal
maybe it's better on the track.
But I'm also comparing it to a Tremec attached to a Voodoo, which is maybe not a fair comparison.
I probably wouldn't do those mods if I got it. Factory would be enough car for me. The only mods I'd do are rims and grill.
If an automatic is a must then yeah PP1 or Mach but if you do the PP1 get the AE and MR. Other options are much easier to add later. I looked into adding AE and MR to the 2018 GT but it was pretty much a nightmare.
The GT500 is going for marked up retail at $168k right now. Even if I won the lottery I wouldn't buy it on principal but i bet it would be fun. Probably have to increase my fruit of the loom inventory though.
So your basic question is: are red seats, magenride, and active exhaust worth 17k in YOUR CURRENCY. (Seems like the exchange rate equals out to about $14,407 in US funds.Hello everyone!
Finally got around to registering. I'm in the market for a Mustang. Long story short I owned a candy Apple Red 67 Mustang Coupe with a nice little 289 auto set up when I was young...er and am now in full blown mid life crisis purchasing mode. I'm advised that it's cheaper than a girlfriend.
So the issue is when a good deal appears but it's short of a few wanted options what do you do? It's a 2020 S550 Rapid Red PP1 auto with 401a black interior and 2000km. Yup thats right less than 2000 miles on it. It's $50k plus provincial sales tax so $56k So the car I spec'd new is close, my spec added the red seats, active exhaust and of course Magneride. But it comes to $73k. This is mainly a summer toy and probably won't be tracked more than once a year.
What would you do? Save the $17k or go for the dream machine?
Thanks in advance for all your advice.
(I was looking at a Mach 1 and man it's a stretch at $85k taxes in. )
Oh and as more info may help I plan on modding it to have a more classic Vibe with the 50th anniversary rims and replacing the grill with the horse and corral from the Pony package. ( I know, old people and their crazy ideas) it'll be the bomb!!
No used M1s yet. There are two Red auto M1s. One at $75k + tax with base interior and handling package. One at $90k loaded with handling pack. I himmed and hawwed over the cheaper one. Still on my mind.
I am assuming thats CAD. The $75K one sounds pretty solid IMO. Share a link?
You forgot the GT 500 stuff on the back
So how do you option PP2 on a new Mustang? Also totally confused with your transmission statement. The Tremec manual in the M1 is less reliable than the one in the GT350? Or are you talking about the A10, which is nonexistent in the GT350
