Why the Mach 1 is a bargain....

[SmokinAces]

This was discussed last year at the introduction. The options will be left to the aftermarket. This could change, of course, but I think if Ford were going to offer these we would have heard about already.

fair enough

I think it would look really cool to have some kind of LED ring around the outer edge of these fog light openings, leaving the center of the light a black hole.

That’s a great idea. How about a combo product? LED’s and a hole for a cooling duct system?

Does that has an open hole for cooling?

The ONLY reason to buy a Mach 1 is the Tremec

You do realise the Tremec is WEAKER than the MT82, right ? You don't have to take my word for it, just ask transmission guru Ben Calimer.

You can buy that all day long from the factory. It even comes with dynamic performance dampers and a properly beefy Tremec transmission, 305 on 11" rims, but most importantly a Shaker hood. With a sticker at least 5,000 less than the Mach and furthermore discounted (dealer+rebate) for 10 grand lower.

Or they could just be more financially responsible and buy older cars or less equipped cars. The reason car prices are "increasing" (they really aren't if you account for inflation) is because credit has been easier for people to get and the mentality of "keeping up" encourages people to buy the most expensive vehicle the bank will allow them to. It's not like there aren't plenty of cheaper options out there that are still reliable, even if you have children.

With that said, I still agree the Mach 1's price is absurd. Ford's price increases in general are absurd. You simply aren't getting a good deal as a new buyer of those cars, and they won't have near of the depreciation curve of the GT350. New owners of the high trim cars will get hammered with no lube. If I was in that price bracket, I'd take a used GT350 any day of the week and save a few bucks doing so. Hell, its within spitting distance of the price of a Camaro ZL1! A car that will shit on it on track.

Drove them back to back. No comparison.

Yes a stock Tremec isnt going to match a built Calimer MT82....... LOL.

Of course he says Calimer MT82s are better.

Also this just in water is wet.

I must be missing something, but I don't see how minor cosmetic changes make a huge difference. Isn't this kind of like the California Special, just another trim package?

It is much more than cosmetic.
