I much prefer Rapid Red to Race Red but what I really wish is that they had a more aggressive spoiler with the Base version. I know there is always the aftermarket but it would be nice to have options out of the factory.....

just to give some of you guys a look at what it would look like if you took away the stripes and did some black accents...
Not sold on Race Red with all the graphics I'd have to see it in person.
here is a very roughed photoshop i did for you and adding a bit of black accents to make it look a little more aggressive to give you and idea hope it helps

The graphics, to me, are it's signature. A Boss 302 without the stripes looks.........odd, at least to me. That being said, I like the idea of a black roof, but Ford won't offer than from the factory (for a Mach 1) so it'd need to be a wrap :)

But only have the stripe on the hood, doesn't it look like it is missing something?

Agreed. A Mach needs stripes as does a Boss 302. Just a fastback otherwise.

There are going to be two different buyers for the Mach 1. Those who want to relive the car from the 70's and its history will want the stripes and keep the exterior as original as possible. The other buyers will want a 480HP GT with a Tremec and coolers. They could care less about the history and for them the stripes are unnecessary.

I can see that. But as a purist, I'd want the stripes.

On that topic, I can't say I'm a fan of the stripes with the color accents....

Re-thinking red now!!
I am not rethinking my choice for red. There was never any doubt that red is the color for me.
I have....2 red broncos, a red f-150, a red ford tractor, a red 71 mach 1, and I am thinking about repainting my motorcycle red.

I’m not really into the heritage of the Mach 1, and wasn’t interested in this one until it came out and showed a tremec with all kinds of extra coolers.

However, I still want all the stripes. It looks too plain without them IMO, and I really don’t want to spend Mach 1 money to be mistaken for an Ecoboost with a steeda front bumper lol

Oh hey, good to see you over here Jimmy! You hear any word from KC on reputable dealerships?

I love the STYLE of the rims, just confused about the finish. They appear as a flat dark color that does not match the rest of the cars accents.
They purposely used a unique to Mach1 (per Carl Widdman) flat magnetic grey finish on all surfaces (mirror caps, top grill surround, badges, spoiler, and lower grill). The wheel color to me appears as its own color that seems 'off'.
Also, when looking at the car at Carlisle, the rear valence retains the GT500 unique scalloped details molded into the plastic, but uses plain GT finish on the lower door and lower front fascia.
Again, certain details seem 'off' when looking closely. Why not continue the exact magnetic grey color to the wheels, or maybe offer a silver finish option.
Maybe I am being too picky but for a 50+K priced car is it too much to ask?
I do love the stripes.

That's what we call a sleeper. Like when you drop a built 429 into a '75 granada with a good muffler on it to keep it quiet until you open the dumps.

yeah, he recommended a place up near him, I've got to get back with him to get the name once the time gets closer to order. But I really need 2020 to turn around soon, otherwise it may dash my plans. starting to get a bit worried. I've been waiting over 20 years for this, this is the perfect year for me for a new Mach 1, park my red 71 and 21 mach ones next to each other.. I may have to sell my 4 yo son to pay for the car, really don't want to do that (j/j....)
