Is the Mustang GT PP1 a BETTER performance VALUE than a 2021 Mach 1?

The return of the Mach 1 is happening for 2021 and Ford wants it to be a hit. Some say the Mach 1 is just a parts bin special so is there a better performance value in the lineup? Under the hood of the Mustang GT Performance Pack Level 1 is a 5.0L V8 that is pumping out 460HP and can be mated to a 6-speed manual or 10-speed automatic just like the Mach 1. The exterior of the Mustang GT PP1 is very unique with it's one of wheels, and rear spoiler. On the inside you will find a full leather interior, heated/ventilated seats, and a 12in digital display. Is the Mustang GT PP1 a BETTER performance VALUE than a 2021 Mach 1?

Funny how everyone is worried about the shaker hood on the Mach 1 but nobody’s talking about finally getting a tremec in a non-Shelby 🤔🤔🤔

[@RaitisRides]

I think the even funnier thing is they can have the Tremec but most want the 10-speed auto!

[@brucetumblinjr7980]

The TREMEC is part of the reason I want the Mach 1, the shaker is not a deal breaker for me

[@NappingCoco]

They switched to a better transmission and people say that they didn't do enough... Just go buy a mustang and take it apart and deal with no warranty lol.

Raiti's Rides they try to make excuses like how the automatic is faster, not understanding that driving a manual isn’t always about having the quickest car, it’s about control!

HEY THATS MY EXACT CAR! Just drove mine off the lot a few months ago. There’s no doubt in my mind that this car is the best bang for your buck. With the active exhaust system, the car ROARS on start up, and don’t even get me started on cold starts xD. Not to mention, it handles the California twisty roads without even flinching. (Btw, just scheduled an install for my dual racing stripes. :D) If you’re in the market for a V8, this is the way to go.

[@RaitisRides]

You are the man! Thank you!

[@Matt77346]

One other thing to keep in mind, although the crank engine output of the Mach 1 is said to be identical to the Bullitt, the gear ratios in the Tremec are different. The gearing is slightly shorter in each gear and this difference in multiplier actually equates to more torque at the wheels for each given ratio. Will be interesting to see initial reviews once the car is released. For those only interested in the A10, maybe the GT PP1 is the way to go...but finally getting the the Tremec in a 5.0 is the main reason I’m looking hard at the Mach. Btw that Iconic Silver is A+ looks clean!

[@goesfastandfar]

Another great review from the man himself. He covers and answers pretty much all the questions you'd have about the car. Looked like a fun test ride too!

[@JCTiggs1]

Love that new colour! I've had my 2019 GT PP1 for 2 years now and love it. I further upgraded some suspension parts and tire size increased to 20" and 305 rear 285 up front. Handles even better now!

[@Hunter-ex2sw]

[@RaitisRides]

That is a very good point!

[@ICON-11-]

I love my pp1 mustang. Hope you're having a great Monday Joe!!

[@JCTiggs1]

For those unsure about getting the performance pack, it's a great option and well worth it, and you get most of it back in resale since it's added value to the car. Skip the black appearance pack and just spend the extra for the PP1. The Brembo brakes are incredible at all speeds, you get the 3.55/3.73 gears depending on transmission, Torsen differential, better wheels, sticky summer tires as well as improved and additional suspension bits too.

[@MikeScott32]

What about Magneride? Do you think that is worth it in top of the PP1?

[@BSchoon55]

This PP1 in you video is absolutely beautiful Joe! I love the huge inventory of Mustangs Walker Ford has... very beautiful backdrop in the non-driving portion of the review. I have a 2018 PP1 and I feel like it's the best bargain for the money. The Mach 1 looks fantastic and I wish the PP1 could come with a Tremec like the Mach 1 will have. Either way, I'm happy with the PP1 so that's what I'll be driving.

[@ZackMuffinMan]

That looks so similar to my car! I have a 2018 GT PP1 6 speed in Ingot Silver but it has some black accents (roof, hood vents, badges) and a smaller black spoiler.

[@cyruschen7442]

Nice car Joe! That appears to be the sweet spot in the mustang lineup. In terms of cost benefit, you get to check most of the boxes with the pp1 GT. The handling seems to be adequate for those who want to take it out to the track or course occasionally. I also like the Camaro so the decision needs to be made whether its this car or the camaro ss 1le. Tough decisions that we have to deal with, can always dream. If your just looking for a regular driver good on gas, then both Mustang and Camaro have great lower power options like the 4 cylinder engines. Even those can opt to get the performance options (1le and pp1/pp2 and handling pack). Great time to be a car lover and the technology keeps getting better. When I had my 96 camaro ss, it had the same power as these 4 cylinder muscle cars now days. Crazy.

[@kellylemons9214]

Great informative review! I just ordered a '21 Premium GT, PP manual trans. w/ Magneride in Iconic Silver. Not a fan of the rear wing, doesn't flow with the lines of the car so I did the spoiler delete and will add a gloss black deck lid blade. My only gripe is that they didn't add the Tremec to the GT, but understand that Ford wanted that as a selling point for the Mach 1. Challenger has Tremec at 10k less than the GT. I do wish that Mustang had more ala carte customization from the factory like Challenger though.
