The GT350 is that hot chick you meet at the club, and she's only good for a few dates. You can't really trust her, she's unreliable. The Mach 1 is the hot chick you meet at school, and you wife up to have a family. She's reliable.

All that's left is the Voodoo in front of the DCT and the supercharged 5.2 in front of the Tremec. We can call one of them the 2023 Cobra R. Maybe a Boss 429 label?

[@WoodsRacer20]

I think they did a great job on the Mach 1. I have an 18 PP2 and they added the few things I thought were missing. The Tremec transmission and diff/transmission coolers. I’m sure the chassis is tuned even better. I’m indifferent about the power plant. The voodoo is great in its own right for obvious reasons. On the other hand, the coyote is great too; it has lots of bottom end power for the street and it’s reliable. This is a mustang for enthusiasts that can appreciate how refined they were able to make the s550. Anyone else will say it just has new stickers. Maybe the next gen mustang will give everyone the “wow” factor they are looking for.

[@MrDeepzek]

Sounds like Boss 302 would be a better name for this

[@lealandyoung]

Probably a move to maintain the Mach 1 moniker. The last Mach 1 was in 2004 while the last Boss was in 2014. Ford lost the GT40 moniker because they never did anything with it and Sapphire Engineering scooped it up without having to pay a dime and when Ford rolled out the 2nd gen GT and wanted to use GT40 and Sapphire kindly asked Ford to cough up a big chunk of money to use the GT40 moniker.

Awesome video as always 👍. I think Ford got a lot of things right on the new Mach1 and they got some things wrong. They definitely listened to the mustang owners and put together what we wanted in an awesome package. The killer is going to be the pricing point. At 53 grand you get a base Mach1 with cloth seats that looks more like a base eco interior. To get one like you had there with leather and nav with the auto your around 59 grand. Throw in the Recaro seats and now your over 60 grand. With the GT 350 it was a little easier to look at the car and swallow that kind of a price tag.

[@AtticAZ]

Little bit of trivia for ya…. Every 2015+ Mustang has line-lock. It’s just disabled. You need 3 Firmware Files and FORScan to to enable it.

But the manual transmission statement is true. That applies to many manual transmission owners hearing missed shifts when making a quarter-mile pass beside my daily driver, pure stock bracket racer. Considering just the suspension. Its a Faster Coyote powered GT350. The original 1969 Mach 1 which was my first new car before college. A new $3000 Red, underrated 351 Cleveland Mach 1 with a closed hood scoop setting on a black decal. 428 CJs and Boss Mustangs excluding the Boss 9 offered a vacuum shaker hood option on their carbureted engines. Not a throttle body engine. FYI. Average price including crappy cars is over $47000. This is a fantastic looking Mustang in a great package with the correct engine and if you can find one. Your starting around $53,000 but getting a Mustang on the extreme level of a GT350 that cost north of $65,000. You never mentioned it, but the 10R80 in the Mach 1 was modified by Ford for improved performance.

The Mustang also has a back seat, but my RSX also has a back seat with combined 25 cubic ft storage with the seats folded down. I suspect Ford gives the Mustang a wider wheelbase to be more stable given the extra power and that big engine also attributes to the weight and hood length too.

I disagree on the successor of the Boss 302. The 2012/2013 had way more development, it's own forged "roadrunner" engine, unique quad exhaust, and TONS of Boss 302 specific parts. When it came out it was declared "best mustang ever made" by many reviewers to include motor trend, motor week and Ford itself. The Mach 1 is very cool, it didn't have the special development like the Boss 302 had. I'm hoping Ford brings out another Boss 302.

[@Briggsian]

The Boss was an evolution of what the S197 could be. It had a unique engine, suspension, exhaust, and exterior pieces. The Mach 1, unfortunately, is more of a parts bin special with some styling tweaks. The transmission is from the GT350, tires and suspension are from the PP2 (with subtle tweaks), engine from the Bullitt, and aero components from the GT500. Styling was the only thing Ford changed from existing parts. If it cost as much as the Bullitt, that'd be one thing. Unfortunately, it's priced like a Shelby

Ford has said that the shaker hood actually reduces aerodynamics on the car. I'd be willing to bet that those reductions are negligible and it should have been an option. Still, the very first offerings of the Mach 1, back in the day, didn't have shaker hoods either. Coilovers would probably last longer than the Magnarides. What would it cost to replace the Magnarides? If they stop making Magnarides, you're going to have to get coilovers anyway.

@@stephenmoore1541 hey listen don't just take my word for it. I'm not a Ford enthusiast I like mustangs and know alittle about a little but they may have fixed the issue or some performance shop might have. Ie 370z slave cylinders are trash ergo people complained about the issue and z1 motor sports made a solid bracket to hold slave in place and replace retaining pin no one complains after that fix. Focus rs got axed over wrong type of headgasket making head leak. Change headgasket no further issues. I encourage you to investigate if you really want the car.

The mach 1 I had at my dealer had the manual and the second you put it in first you knew it was different and special compared to a regular mustang (I own a 20 a10 pp1) the difference between the 2 cars is instant the second you start driving.

[@jonathanflatbush9502]

I see this as the right successor to smurf for david the best end all be all 5.0 gen 3 engine , tremec trans and all the cooling from the gt500 best of everything

[@derektassie1479]

I love my 2012 boss. just thought id say that. this car is awesome too, good to know its a newer boss.

[@revmatchtv]

The Tremec version is fantastic!

[@wandering_moto]

One could almost be convinced they don’t make a manual Mach 1.

[@benpancake5118]

except they do? shares the transmission from the gt350

[@wandering_moto]

@@benpancake5118 I know they do. Just for some reason, nearly all the reviews I’ve seen of the car, 9/10 seem to be automatic.

[@GearboxCarReviews]

There is just no way you should be considered an auto journalist if you can't drive manual. What a crazy response from the press fleet...

[@thelongwinter362]

im more of a jdm guy but I think that this car is awesome

[@brandonwilson1954]

I mean its a great looking, sounding, and running car it looks like... but id rather they didn't discontinue the gt350. Thats my dream car😞 the gt350 was so iconic and is such a badass car

[@KB-bh9hp]

Nothing stopping you from buying a used one.

[@davidshute6370]

It didn't need a shaker. The shaker was a option on the 69-70 cars. Not available on the 76-78 cars. And the 03-04 cars are the only mach 1s to have a shaker as standard. I don't see that this one doesn't have it as that big of a issue.

[@OctaneStreet]

The shaker would have been nice to see incorporated, but seeing as it's not exactly practical for the modern Coyote motor, I can't be mad that it's missing. Aside from that, I think they did a great job with it. I'm glad the Voodoo 5.2 is reserved for the GT350 for the time being, as it retains that specific model's special factor. At the same time though, it's super dope that they gave the Mach 1 the tremac trans. I say kudos to Ford for another great limited edition run of a classic Mustang brought back to life. Also, I disagree that the revised Bullitt shouldn't have happened haha.

[@miguelgalvez6447]

I hope you get to make a video of one thats manual in the future. I know its the same car but the experience is totally different. I've seen a few videos of the mach 1 with the tremec and holy shit it just makes you wanna drive it.

[@Neri321]

I liked this review. Very in depth

[@mikeshellman632]

I ordered mine a couple weeks ago… Now …. I wait !!

[@AtticAZ]

They should have kept the functional Gt350 fender vents. That shit is just damn sexy, how they follow the lines of the car. I’m it a fan of the Mach1’s weight. 3900lbs!?? And only 480? Eeeeeeek.

[@giornogiobama1795]

The hood can be fixed by after market if you want a different one. I believe they decided not to do it cause would have probably created more drag and the car doesn't need the extra air.

[@chrism869]

The 10 speed just rips trough it's gears like crazy, in manual is a drivers way to drive the mustang

[@MalikHall]

Listening to that LOGIC soul food II 👌🏿

[@flfun1684]

Mach 1 ad Boss 302 are Iconic
