2004 Mustang Mach 1 - One Take

The 2004 Mustang Mach 1 split the difference between the GT and the "Terminator" Cobra, by keeping the live rear axle but adding a non-supercharged version of the 32V 4.6L Cobra engine with a trademark "Shaker" Hood.

[@camarowland4]

i think Matt's "be careful saying that" might have tucked a few mods under the rug. Dude port and polished the heads, that's quite an undertaking (assembly wise) to not do much more. Granted, i havent looked at the Wheelwell profile.

[@Dudeman9339]

My friend has a 01 GT that he thinks is making 400whp... I dont have the heart to tell him its more like 250.

[@Mvonada]

Dudeman9339 250? wheel? Na if its a stock GT they make 260 from the engine. low 200 wheel lol

[@adrenaholic1]

99-04GT=225-235rwhp/man.trans

[@Dudeman9339]

adrenaholic1 thank you.

[@Dudeman9339]

it's not stock. It has magnaflow exhaust and slightly larger injectors, if I remember right. Anyway he was told by the guy he bought it from that it was 400rwhp and that it used to be supercharged. I would believe 400 on the SC but not on what it's running now. Also he refuses to admit that his 3rd gear is stripped like hell and keeps telling me I'm shifting it wrong.

[@CrossWindsPat]

[@jonathandougherty3677]

Digging this up again. Everything Matt disliked about it was either driver error or could be fixed with aftermarket parts. 1- Says turn in is great but lots of steering input. There is a 12.7:1 ratio rack available for this year Mustang, that’s almost as quick as an s2000 rack. 2-He realized he was dogging the engine and after getting it up in the revs it “comes alive” Gears would solve this, and help it with better corner exit speed. 3-Manageable mid corner bump from SRA can be remedied with panhard bar and torque arm will be great for 7/10ths canyon driving. Add springs and shocks and it would be night and day. So really Matt loves the car but his biases couldn’t let him see that.

[@jackjanezic7752]

[@brianz426]

Nice review. I had a '98 Cobra with the earlier version of the same 4.6 32V motor. Matt is right the car really comes alive in the upper rpm range. First two mods, I put 3.73 gears in my car and a PRO 5.0 shifter, these totally changed the drive-ability of the car. Later I did some suspension mods, subframe connectors, control arms, shocks, solid steering rack bushings etc. The car was still a great daily driver and a lot of fun on open track driving events. I miss it.

[@petrolhead8851]

I have an 03 Mach 1 I just purchased two days ago and it’s fun, but my 96 cobra with bbk intake and throttle body,under drive pullies,center force clutch,aluminum one piece driveshaft,3:73 rear gears,and a mgw short shifter out guns my stock 03 Mach 1 by bus lengths lol,I will be going full maximum motorsports suspension on my 96 cobra and doing an all motor big bore high compression set up,my goal is to have as close to 500whp as possible all n/a

[@brianeastman3547]

TrillMurray ,Yup, They are cool Mustangs man.

[@noredcr]

Actually the 4 valve in the Mach 1 was not the exact same as the '01 Cobra motor, the Mach 1 motor had the cams from the Triton 5.4 for extra torque!

[@TheSmokingTire]

noredcr interesting tidbit!

[@BlueOvalTavern]

TheSmokingTire also, the 03/04 heads are a revised/improved version of the 2001 C-heads. And another reason Ford used the 5.4 truck intake cams was so that it would make the hood shake a little more (so they said).

[@Mvonada]

***** For what Matt wants his notch will be better then a terminator, Can't wait to see it finished

[@RadioMuse1]

***** That's still $6-8d more, which I would call significant. Definitely worth it if you're going more track/handling oriented, but for the average road car owner who isn't going to really push the vehicle's limits much: *shrugs*. $6-8k buys a lot of gas and tires.

[@1bojanbojan]

noredcr A+++ a lot better than 01 cobra motor

[@2012omar302]

Not a lot of people give the Mach 1 credit when its actually a very well rounded stang of its day. I had an 03 mach bone stock its able to hit low 13's my best time stock was 13.30 not bad for a 305hp stang give it mods can keep up with the new 5.0s do an Eaton swap and it fly's

[@TrashPanda2801]

Lol the mustang of my high school days is the coyote mustangs and the S550's, hopefully when I graduate in the middle of 2017 next year I'll be able to finally get my slice of the mustang pie, I love my 2014 Jetta GLI but V8 is life.

[@marcolcorreia]

The 32v DOHC "Cobra" 4.6 is a great motor; aluminum heads and block, and hand built by SVT. A custom "Tune", gears, and full exhaust really open these motors up. They sound amazing. With full bolt on's the are in the 300-330whp range. Not bad for a 10-15 year old platform.

[@sigtaus6]

No - Mach 1 motor not hand built. Cobra Termi motors hand built but with Iron block and forged internals.

[@CarterFooty11]

Why do people always say the 4.6 was bad? Made the same power as the 5.0 when it was introduced and then gained 10hp in 98. Also made the same torque. Sounds great too.

[@SpyderRios]

It seems like Matt was not really aware of the Mach 1 at all. The Mach 1 along with the Terminator Cobras will no doubt be the collectible Mustangs down the road. The engine in the Mach 1s are pretty sweet even though they were overshadow by the Terminators. I would love to own one some day and park it next to my 2011 GT no doubt.

[@josh87saa]

Always loved this car! even today I think it was still the perfect in between, and I'd gladly pick one up over a new 5.0 just for the novelty of having it. nice vid.

[@jrvbamafan1]

did I just hear this supposed "professional" car reviewer saying something about Mach 1's from the 90's, and a 3V in a new edge?.... I think he also stated that the Bullitts outshined the mach 1's....would love to know how that is considering the Bullitts are only rated at 265hp, and are basically glorified gt's that only came in 2 colors and had some badging and VERY MINOR tweaks to make it just barely different from a gt, and the mach 1's are completely different 4v's rated at 305 hp....hell the owner didn't even know a whole lot about his own car stating the curb weight on them was 3200lbs, when unless this one had some weight reduction, they were 3400lb cars. Not sure I've ever cringed so much in 15 mins during a car "review" listening to one guy spout off one wrong thing after another, and the owner agreeing with him.... I can understand maybe getting a number off here or there, but Matt clearly has very little knowledge about this car at all, and even though he owns a mustang, I'm really wondering about his knowledge of mustangs in general. Hard to believe this guy gets paid to do this for a living. Someone hire me.....I guarantee I can drive as good as he can, and I'd make sure to actually know about whatever car it was I was reviewing. I've got a 2003 cobra with only 16,000 miles on it, but no way would I let him review it, because no telling what kind of wrong shit he'd say during that little ride....he'd probably tell me it pulled good for a 2v 5.4 liter with a turbo on it or something crazy like that....lmao

[@jrvbamafan1]

@@lollol-xp4mc It shows. Always liked when the rich kids came to street race back in the day in the late 90s and early 2000s when I was doing that. Mommy and daddy would buy them the newest camaro or mustang out there, all for them to get beat by a 10 year old at the time 5.0 that was built by me and my brother for half of what they had in their cars, because we actually had to work for our stuff and didnt get to go pick out something new off a dealer showroom. The funniest was watching a kid one night talk about how his brand new white with hugger orange anniversary edition camaro that was bone stock was the fastest car out there, and the pure joy I got from his face when he handed over the $300 we were racing for that night. That little notchback foxbody I had back then almost made him cry. He probably went home and told his parents he wanted something else because we never saw him or that car around town again....lol

[@crdwzy4688]

And don't forget the Mach 1 had an aluminum block, not cast iron.

[@jaimem.2615]

What's the difference and which is more reliable?

[@331Grabber]

@@jaimem.2615 The aluminum block weighs about 80 LBS less than the cast iron block. Both are equally reliable unless you overheat the engine pretty bad in that case iron is more forgiving. The iron block used in the Cobra is also stronger for high horsepower modifications over the aluminum block in the Mach 1 but the older aluminum block found in 1996-2001 Cobras is about as strong as the Iron block. The Teksid aluminum block is the stronger one. The later WAP aluminum block is less strong

I own a Azure blue Mach 1 Mustang and it is a automatic. Factory Dyno is around 260-270 at the wheels. The 5 speed put down 280-290 at the wheels. So I would say 305-310 at the motor for the auto and 320-330 for the 5 speed.

[@SilentMovements305]

How did the Bullet out-shined the Mach 1 when sales for the Mach 1 were through the roof opposed to the Bullet that were sitting in lots with some being given a mark off ?

[@petrolhead8851]

And there was nothing special about the bullit compared to the Mach 1. The bullit was just another gt with a different paint job and different badges lol

[@hyssean12]

Also bullitt ran for 2001 only. So how would it compete with a car that came out 2 years later.

[@keystonekrawler6242]

@@petrolhead8851Incorrect, massively. I own TWO 2004 Mach 1’s. One (Azure Blue) is bone stock, the other (Torch Red) only has the stock block, heads and 3650) and the car makes 717rwhp/663tq. The 2001 Bullitt was NOT just an exclusive color GT with Bullitt badges. It was a GT, yes, but it was more. The Bullitt’s came from the factory with Cobra brakes (just like the Mach 1’s did). The Bullitt came with a custom aluminum upper/lower intake that gave it a slight bump in power….unlike the normal GT that came with the plastic intake. (I used to own a ‘99 GT). The Bullitt had lowered coil springs and a stiffer suspension setup compared to the GT. The coils were lower than the Mach 1’s as well. In terms of height the GT sat the highest, then the Mach 1 was a bit lower and the Bullitt sat the lowest stock. They all had different part numbers for the coil springs. The Bullitt was the first Mustang to use the 3650 5 speed. The Bullitt’s were built to handle better than a normal GT and were meant to be a more simple looking car compared to the normal GT (Think: Police detective on a budget…). The Bullitt was also a numbered car, there were two spots on the car that had a unique number printed on a hologram decal. One on the driver’s side strut tower, and the other under the back seat (driver’s side) behind the carpet. Ford themselves had a third decal for each car. Folks just didn’t understand the Bullitt, and many still don’t. Some see them and think “Meh, it’s just a boring ugly green GT….where’s the wing? Where’s the scoops?”. Those folks just don’t know how to research to save their lives. 😂 Many parts from the Bullitt project ended up carrying over to the Mach 1’s. The brakes, the sail panels (again, unique to the Bullitt, even stamped “Bullitt”), the (unique to the Bullitt) shift ball, pedal pads, shifter trim ring….all carried over to the Mach. Originally the Bullitt was to have the 2003 Cobra rear bumper cover as well as the SVT built 4 valve but they couldn’t make it happen. The Mach 1 was originally supposed to also have the Bullitt’s unique side skirts, but in the end they went with the normal GT skirts….which is a bummer since those side skirts are as rare as hens teeth (nobody makes them anymore). But to say the Bullitt was just paint and badges is flat out wrong. It’s a very original and unique car. For the right Bullitt I’d probably trade my Azure Blue Mach 1 for one. They rock.

[@romanik26]

TheSmokingTire Matt- 3V heads are specific to the 05-10 S197. 2V were in the normal 99-04 GT's. And fun fact for the 03-04 Mach 1's that if it is a manual it has a forged crank from the factory!

[@StormAutoAdventures]

I'm sure a nice carbon fiber or aluminum one piece driveshaft, along with 3.73 gears, and a lightweight aluminum flywheel would do wonders for this engine regarding the laziness feeling you were talking about. My brother basically has these mods, except he just added a Centerforce DF clutch to go with the aluminum flywheel, and he has FRPP 4.10 gears in his modded 2008 GT Premium Coupe. He has an aluminum one piece driveshaft from The Driveshaft Shop. Those upgrades really made a night and day difference in acceleration. His GT also has a Steeda CAI/HF Elbow, SCT-Bama 93 octane race tune, BBK twin 62mm throttle body, Steeda UD crank pulley, Steeda CMDP's, a Borla Stinger exhaust system and a Hurst shifter, plus interior and exterior cosmetic mods. Great looking Mach 1 by the way! You don't see many of those around these days. At least not where I live anyway.

[@PistNRods]

Hearing 3,200lbs = "pretty light" makes me sad LOL. I remember when 3000-lbs was fat. Now 3600-3800 is normal, and 4200-4500 is heavy. We're putting in all the horsepower to make up for the increasing weight. 400hp = 13s makes me sad. :(

[@ArthurSperotto]

What the hell do you mean by "I remember when 3000-lbs was fat"?? Back in the day cars were much heavier! The Thunderbird weighed 6000 lbs! Cars are getting lighter and lighter, and the New Edge Mustangs are one of the lightest Mustangs.

[@PistNRods]

Ali Ahadi right there with you. :)

[@Clutch_Kick187]

You can blame electronic everything, and power this and that.... everyone wants more hp, yet forgets their driving a pig...lol

[@zachisthebomb]

PistnRods Depends mostly on what type of cars you've driven. Modern Mustangs aren't exactly "light" but, 3,200 is on the lighter side of the two-door sports car-muscle car spectrum. Now, if you drive a lot of 80s-90s japanese cars, like your 240sx or Honda Civic, then those will be lighter for sure. Like the guy above me said, "electric everything and power this and that.." More and more safety features also tack on weight as the years go by. 3,200 lbs is on the light side, even in the current Japanese line-ups.

[@Motorsportsgeek]

Still these cars are pretty light for wht they are, with all my weight reduction and suspension I should be in the 2800-2900 lbs

[@MrTrollus]

The Mach 1 motor is actually the "InTech" V8 carried over from the Lincoln line. They run on C-Heads (96-98 Cobras were A-Head, 99-01 were B-Head) so there are a few key differences. The Mach 1 also has its own camshaft profile, shared with the Terminators. The only way to find an identical motor to the Mach 1 is the 03-04 Lincoln Aviator (they come with the cast crank and 6k redline like the automatic Mach 1s) TL;DR It's not a hand-me-down Cobra engine.

Always thought an opened up Mach 1 was the best sounding mustang from 99-'18. Besides the supercharger whine of the 03-04 cobra, the Mach wins the ear challenge. There was one running around my hometown in my most obsessed SVT days (was a proud owner of an 01 Lightning lightly modded, 420whp) that could be heard a mile down the road and it made me a believer in the Mach 1 platform. Such a wonderful unique sounding stang.

Watching this Mach 1 win Matt over is great. I have one. with mods. Makes a little over 300 at the tire. Fun

[@stroock6394]

matt, will you be in the northeast any time soon? i'd love to be able to drive your lexus, as well as get a shot of it with my 1999 LS. ever since it was passed down to me, i've become a huge fan of the LS, and would be very honored to be able to be part of yours reaching 1 million miles

[@ihatecamber]

3v in a newedge? out shined by the bullitt? 305hp? friend with a 3v newedge? mach 1 from the 90's, my 95 newedge didnt handle this well, and throwback gauges go wrong. How does he have a job reviewing cars if he says the dumbest things?

[@TheBugattiking96]

I was thinking the exact same thing

[@ihatecamber]

***** the issue is he is acting like one, it would been perfectly fine to not say a word about the car, instead he made himself look like an idiot

[@emilmadsen8972]

+Dsgdrew the mach 1 does make 305 stock. but because if the more even torque curve and solid axel its quite a bit faster then the 99-01 cobras. although the IRS makes a huge difference on tight roads

[@ihatecamber]

white chocolate machs make 320hp and they have 3.55 gears thats what made em faster

i like the free edgar t shirt

My senses tell me a properly sorted "Terminator" is near~

[@gramual]

my friend has this motor in a factory five kit car that weighs 2400. Its insane

[@cosmic7431]

When I get my Evo tuned, Matt needs to do a one take with it !!!

[@christiankoslowski8976]

that free edgar shirt though

[@Hearsesrock427]

Pretty cool how it's a Mach 1, but doesn't have the flashy Mach 1 stripes. Makes it look more like a standard GT with a shaker scoop.... I like cars like that. It's the anti-racecar appeal. You see this with other cars too- people take E63s and make them look like E350s, or take M3s and make them look like 325s, etc. 4.6 sounds nice when you get on it too! The New Edge cars have really grown on me over the past few years. Like any car, I'd still need to have a shit ton of work done to it. But with a Lunati torque cam, long tube headers, some lightweight wheels and stick tires, and a lot of weight reduction, it'd be a fun spirited driving machine.

[@Mvonada]

***** Once you see how far even just the base GTs have came down in price[6-8k for a clean 80k mile GT] I dont know what even competes in terms of a fun drivers car

[@natefloris6735]

All the stripes are there, you can see them in the sun light when Matt is driving. They're just black, and the car is black, so it all blends together.

[@Hearsesrock427]

Joe Dirt Not a bad deal at all. Definitely will want to buy one down the road- if I can ever stop hot rodding box body Grand Marquis, LTD Crown Vics, and Town Cars. Haha.

The brembo brakes are not from a terminator cobra, they are from the 2000 cobra R.

My old ES250 had that stupid button. Anyway, awesome video

[@coureurdebois]

one hell of a mustang despite the lack of handling.

[@dschNgz]

True...

[@AdriftAndAtPeace323]

"I swapped in the factory brembos from the terminator" Too bad terminator cobras had the exact same PBR brakes as every cobra since 95, as well as the same ones found on the 01 bullitt and 03/04 mach1s. The only new edge with brembos was the 00 Cobra R

[@dicksteel91]

Yup lol only difference from the SN 95 cobra to the new edge cobra PBR calipers is the New Edge ones have 40.5mm pistons as opposed to the 38mm pistons on the pre-99 Cobras

[@jordant8864]

Dick Steel They did have brembo rotors if I’m not mistaken though.

[@bap7929]

They’re actually Baer brake calipers, not Brembo. Cobras and vettes had them from the 90’s to the 00’s.

[@06acc]

I would install subframe connectors, Koni shocks and change the sway bar bushings to urethane which should improve handling dramatically. As a daily driver I wouldn't want to go hardcore because the ride would be too jarring and annoying.

[@omega42587]

matt can drive pretty good
