WHICH IS QUICKER: 2021 MACH 1 A10 VS 2021 GT A10

[v8 enthusiast]

Hi everyone!
I have had 18 and 19 GT's A10 PP1 and I am about to purchase a 2021 Mach 1 A10 with no performance package.
But I am wondering about 0 to 60 time and also 1/4 mile time before buying the Mach 1.
Although the Mach ! has (as they claim) more impressive numbers in Hp and Torque, it is also heavier...
Tks to all

As you said, a bit heavier.

On the street, it would be a coin toss IMO.

Given this is a run against a Mach 1 6spd,the GT took it. A Mach 1 -A10 might be just a tad slower than A10 GT with the same rear gear as the GT.

Tks for very quick reply.
I had watched that too some time ago.
As you said, it lacks in accuracy.
Curiously, I have not found tests from Motor Trend, Car and Driver and even Motor Week.

The Mach 1 has the better intake manifold along with a larger CAI.

Not sure what the weight difference is but I'd say with equal drivers the Mach will win.

The Mach 1 A10 no performance package has 34kg more than the GTPP1 A10.

The Mach 1 will carry the HP a bit longer due to the better intake track.

It should negate any weight reduction of the older GT with same peak HP. The Mach will have more avg HP.

Stock to stock.

I've found at Edmund's a worse 0 to 60 and 1/4 mile time for the Mach 1 A10 - 4.1s and 12.2s - compared to
the old 18 GT automatic at Car and Driver 3.8s and 12.1s.
But I cannot found any test in these magazines regarding the Mach 1 A10

No test at Motor Trend also neither at Motor Week

My A10 Mach 1 non-HP is FAF!
I Put an h-pipe on and an air filter… it’s a beast!
3 extra coolers onboard and a beefier torque converter.
Mach 1 for the win straight or twisty’s!

Do you think yours is quicker than a GT a10?

One detail: My Gt's do not have the strut tower brace, so it is quite easy to check the oil level. Do'nt you think rather difficult or annoying checking yours, since the bar is obstructing the way to pull and insert the dipstick? Can you have an accurate reading?

Not an issue. I had the brace in my 15gt for 6 years. You get used to it.
