Ford Mustang Mach 1 v GT track test and performance review

[@GuitarFreak881]

"Could use a little more top-end" Only revs the GT to 6k rpm when it redlines at 7,500...

[@daily6633]

It’s pretty flat up top.

[@Hapkido82AUS]

Revs to 7500 Runs out of puff at 6000...

The reason why the top end was lazy is because you had 1000rpm left lol

Probably the best track-oriented review on the Mach 1 done so far, especially given that most viewers are intensely keen to understand the GT/Mach 1 differences. Like your MX-5 GT RS review, highly informative for the prospective purchaser. Thanks mate, I had as much fun watching it as you did making it!

This was fantastic! Two manual, NA V8s go head to head just doesn't get better than this. I wish Ford offered the better built/shifting Tremec on the GT.

[@Toymonkeyjr]

Then they would lose a big segment of their gt350/gt500/shelby buyers, and eventually the market would phase out those vehicles because they wouldn't make much profit

I have a GT FN Manual. My last 2 cars have been F80 M3s, one normal, one competition. Domestic circumstances forced a change to something less than 1/2 the price. As a semi daily and weekend car, the FN GT has impressed me hugely. Its fun to drive, sounds great and the build quality is better than I thought it would be. I think its hard to beat bang for your buck. Let's face it, time to be able to buy a new 5.0 V8 Muscle car is running out. I have a new manual GT on order.

[@eamondoherty]

I think I’d save the $20k, that’s a supercharger and decent set of coilovers or diff upgrade.

[@CarExpertAus]

But could void the warranty 😳

[@dominikmervart]

Let's not forget the addiotinal oil cooler, transmission cooler, differential cooler and air to brakes duct, that will help with endurance. GT goes into limp mode after 2-3 laps. More reliable transmission has a cost of its own. Supercharger won't help you much in technical curcuits with short straights either. Weird price difference you got there, the difference between GT PP1 with Magneride and active exhaust is 3.5k USD (5k AUD) in the USA. And here in Europe I payed 14k USD (19k AUD) more for the Mach 1 over GT PP1 (without a hesitation I might add) :)

[@2004lesk01]

There is a lot of people commented from the US. FYI this is an Australian video. We dont have the pleasure/ nor the luxury of parts for these cars. Everything is imported. The 20k upgraded MACH1 is in Australian Dollars (14K US) There is 3 variants in this country GT Bullet and a handful of MACH only 700 will be brought to this country. They have landed and no more are coming. FYI, for us to import the added parts for a standard GT, it would probably cost well over double and then we will need have the parts installed. we need to consider the following. Lead-time, Delivery charge import tax/Duty and then the horrible exchange rate. Then we need to pay someone to install them! This is not the US and the rules/regulations are completely different here. So yes this is an exceptional car for what we get here & its approved by the local roads authority/state government to be allowed on our roads.

[@NukeMyHouse]

You had an extra 1000+ rpm left in the standard GT in the hotlap, and you were revving it out all the way in the Mach 1. Why though? The Coyote is very peaky, let her scream!

[@nickp6472]

Agree. Also, I noticed he shifted early in the Mach 1 and then immediately downshifted a few times when he could have ran the lower gear out a bit more and skipped the extra up/downshift.

I have a 2021 Mach 1 here in the US and just completed my first track day. Actually my review is uploading to my KZbin channel as we speak! I also do not have the handling package (a $3500USD upgrade) but it would have been cool in this video to see the difference between the Mustang GT and Mach 1 with the handling package. I can say from first hand experience this car is a ton of fun on the track. I was surprised by how well the traction management system kept everything in line even in Track Mode.

[@chisquare5701]

His shift points are super (~1000 rpm) early in the GT. I guess that's why he did say he wishes the rpm range was brighter.

[@07slowbalt]

For 20k i dont see the benefit when you could put a decent set of coils on for under 3k, a supercharger for under 8k, and choose the 10r80. All of which would cost you less, still retain your warranty, and smoke that mach 1.

[@JacobHall1601]

Awesome vid guys but Im curious Why the short shifting at just over 6,000 in the GT ??

[@aimanfitri0iv]

this is a short track so that's why a shifting is very short

[@RyRyMTD]

He mentioned that the GT felt as though it was falling on its face a little higher up in the rev range. I’m guessing it was happier short shifting and using more torque than revs.

[@chrisatkinson7431]

Thanks for that, and interesting point. I was just shifting where it felt natural, surprised it was that low, but I don't think it was an advantage to rev it out much more.

[@malsmith2012]

I was going to ask the same question.. Sometimes I get a little suspicious in that they, Ford, wouldn't want the standard car showing up the supposedly track focused car that costs 20k more! Seems to leave a lot of rpm left on the table..

[@rammstevie]

Those tyres were purpose built by Mich for the FM/FN Mustang, good review thanks

[@Khesrawsx]

As a Mustang enthusiast and driver for the past one decade, I would say that it isn’t worth to spend $20K on a Mach for such a small difference in speed. We could use the extra money on a supercharger and get almost double the horsepower. If the difference were like $2 or 3K I would gladly pay to get the Mach 1.

[@2004lesk01]

I hear this all the time, sorry man but you need to know what is cost and to compare.. suspension upgrades plus supecharger, recaro seat upgraded you will need to add about 40k and still its saids on the compliance GT Ford also not keen to warrant Super charger.. this is a limited edition to 700 only with MACH1 on compliance. trust me i have a mustang and i have done the exercise

[@Khesrawsx]

​@@2004lesk01 You can go even higher than that, but do you really think that the extras on Mach 1 really are of the same quality that you would get with a 40K after market parts?? And fyi if you didn't know you can actually get the recaros with GT as well. If you are handy you can actually just buy the parts and install them yourself. I actually prefer doing most of the work myself.

[@2004lesk01]

@@Khesrawsx Yes i am aware of the seats its not the point, do you actually know whats in the MACH 1? Number 2 putting non genuine parts on is not approved in most countries. Also in Australia there is only 700 units. there is 25k+ of the GT the point here is, you will make your 20k back within 5years, anyone who knows cars can work that out. I could spend 100k on a mustang doesn’t mean its worth that! it’s still a GT. I have a 69 MACH 1, do you think it would be worth more than a Standard GT at the time? it’s really a no brainer.

[@Khesrawsx]

@@2004lesk01 When did I recommend installing non genuine parts? I said after market and there is a big difference between the two. And yes if you do a quick search on Ford's website you will see that they state that they have added a revised intake manifold which is like $400-500, oil filter adapter $50-60, engine oil cooler $200-600, Stiffer sway bars, springs and bushings. If I calculate the whole thing it won't even cost more than $5K even with the exterior changes that they are saying causes more downforce and what not. I can buy every single one of these things from reputable companies and still save money. And what are you talking about making the money back in 5 years? And fyi I am not talking to you about the resale value of your car. I am here talking whether we are getting more bang for the buck if we get a 2021 Mach 1 compared to a 2021 and I don't think we are. Instead of we spend/invest the $20K on aftermarket parts and get them installed we will get the performance of Mach 1 or even better from a GT for a lot less.

So why did you set the shiftlight at 1000RPM too low on the GT? Bad fuel for the day making the engine not fire properly at peak power RPM? Same engine as Mach 1, literally. Differs in intake which is indifferable in terms of peak power point (Yes it might grant 5-10 hp but the peak is at the same RPM, 7200.) Hard to compare two cars with the same engine when you've crippled one of the engines by shortshifting every gear, every time. :/

It is probably possible to get more power on the engine of Mach 1 as well, so then it will manage 1 second faster around this track for half the price of that Mercis. But of course a bit of the extra price is due to the fact that there is a slightly more luxurious interior in the Mercis, But I do not think it's worth paying double the price for that reason.

Ok everyone all you have to do is go out and find a 2018-2020 Mustang GT with the Performance Package 1 or 2 and they still had the 460 HP 5.0 V8 and 420lb-ft of torque before Ford detuned the GT engine around 2021 to market the Mach 1 as the better car for $20,000 more.

[@hendersonjohnson3750]

Your GT did not have the performance pack 1 or 2 and no magna plane suspension. Also I’d like the track test with the automatic.

[@MsMischievous2022]

Your also missing the handling package on the Mach 1 and your also driving the European version granted it’s the same version on both cars. I really enjoyed the video !

[@CanadianMax]

You really did the car a disservice by short-shifting. Unless there is a fundamental difference in the map the AUS spec car is running compared to the US Spec car, you should be winding it all the way to the redline. I've owned an '18 and '20 (US Spec) and can 100% confirm, these cars want to rev.

[@scuba6797]

Id love to see a test with the performance package and one without.

[@annuann1]

where you get the price from. thanks

[@MCoupeMike]

WTF? Why are you shifting so early on the GT? You have the shift lights configured 1000 RPM lower than you did in the Mach 1?

[@eyecontrol4900]

the gt has the Mt82, which has had known lockout problems, when shifting too high on the revs.

[@jarrodfrankum]

I want to see this test done with a handling pack mach 1. I dont believe the handling pack is an option for export cars. Such a big difference

[@KINGKJ2REAL]

Its the same exact engjne .. Just different intake manifolds and cold air intake

[@caseymurray7722]

Honestly there's only a $7000 difference between the two. A mustang gt with the performance pack, active exhaust and magneride (which all come standard on the mach 1) is $48000 where the mach 1 is $55000. The track times proves its better but is the shifter, badging, and other small upgrades worth the 7k?

[@jamesthomas4919]

Soon as you said the GT did not have Magna ride, you botched the test for me. Most of that track difference was just the magna drive. No way you can feel any engine gains and same to Trans. Mach 1 is a cash grab...thanks you tried to sale it..

[@terrynquy]

U should do Mustang Mach 1 vs Mustang R Spec cuz i wanna see which one is better

[@JerryCecco]

WOW NEW Mustang laptimes....normally Ford says laptimes cant be published

[@ajah3247]

Why didn’t you take a mustang GT premium performance with magnetic suspension. I have it’s awesome and pretty nice to x pipe it and tune

[@sandrovarrocci360]

you were short shifting the whole time , why ?

[@thullraven1]

If you are having track days and can afford it, get the Mach 1. If you mostly use your ride as a daily driver, save your money and get the GT. The price difference is too much to justify on just a daily driver. I have a slightly modded GT as my daily driver. For my track days, I use a Ferrari 488.

[@Japplesnap]

Get has automatic rev matching? Since when?

[@robertct06]

If you have rev matching on don’t rev match yourself. I noticed every time I did that I would miss gears. Something about you rev matching throws off something in the electronics and transmission synchronization

[@thedon9670]

thanks for telling the world you are a crap driver lol

[@robertct06]

@@thedon9670 no. I meant turn off rev matching. I should’ve just said that lol. When you have rev match on and you try to rev match yourself it doesn’t like that
