totally agree with you on the "MACH-1",wish i could get one...but if i had that kinda cash in my pocket...i'd be looking for a lightly used 350.

[@Squall1800]

I said the same thing @gatekeeper1, over 50k for a mach 1. A used 16-18 350 or a 13-14 GT500 would be fine for me! Sorry Ford I don't have 50k just laying around!

[@TheWhatYouNeed]

To your comment... i just picked up an extremely gently used 2016 GT350 with 3,700 miles a little over a week ago. What a freakin vehicle. I’ve owned 3 GTs (‘05, ‘12, ‘15) all manuals.. this car isn’t a Mustang, it’s a Shelby. Completely different driving experience than any of my modded Mustangs over the years. I picked up the GT350 for 46,365. They go fast. I looked everyday for 3 months waiting for the perfect deal.

[@garcia1177]

If it helps. You can get a 2016-2017 GT for around 25K area or less. Easy to build up, easy to add power. Regardless a lightly used 350 would be a lot more ideal than the Mach 1.

[@bitedawg]

@@TheWhatYouNeed dam...sounds like a sweet deal...kinda feel sorry for those guys that paid the "mark-up",there's a nice 500 in my area,but the mark-up is rediculous...i saw a 350 at autocross a month ago...it's almost unfair how good they are...makes my 17 gt feel like my moms buick century.

[@allannichols9864]

You "track guys" already have the GT 350 for that, so lobby Ford for a Tremac in the GT 350. The MACH 1 was never intended to be a an expensive track model. It was intended to be a street performance car and the model you bought if you wanted the hot motor on a budget. They even got rid of the GT in 69 and the MACH 1 was the street performance model till they got ird of it in the late 70's. The GT would not return to the lineup until 1982.

[@TheChenny73]

Allan Nichols They are all street performance cars. None of these are race cars.

[@jkrigelman]

The mt82 lawsuit at least changes the narrative when the master mechanic walks out and tries to convince you that you are the issue and not the transmission. It may also convince Ford to up the QA before the transmission is put in the car.

[@vxer1000]

Ford's only mistake with the MT-82 transmission is the soft bushing at the tail end of the shifter. I installed a Blowfish bracket on mine and instant cure. No more hunting for gears or high rpm lockout. So take your $150 or whatever you get and invest in one of these brackets.

[@FastRedPonyCar]

There's more to it than that if you plan on taking it to the dragstrip with much more than a tune. The internals are trash. I had the blowfish bracket on my 2012 and it made daily driving a lot better but heard of plenty of guys breaking them at the strip or auto X events. The automatics on the other hand, USA made and dudes with blowers with 100+ passes. They're bulletproof.

GM will sell you an outdated pushrod engine with cast iron parts that may blow up if revved past 6500rpm in a Camaro that has zero visibility all for closer to 45K on average.

Agreed. All businesses need to survive. Not sure how well the Mach 1 will sell. Just seems like something they can let out with the Branco to close all projects until the blow back ends with the virus.

[@cadsux]

Agreed. Ford sells about 1 million F-series trucks per year in North America. That's more than Toyota's Rav4, Camry & Corolla combined. Best selling vehicle in the U.S. for the last 30 years. They never needed a bailout, nor have some foreign automaker "own" them. In fact, since the 1970s, Ford has been bailing out other automakers like Mazda, Aston Martin & Jaguar. Ford will be just fine. After all, they made us into a car culture.

@@Gltokensp06 I'm thinking of doing the same too bro

[@michaelhill6627]

My biggest issue with the MT82 and other transmissions ford has produced in the last 10 years (dual clutch focus and escape) is that they know there is a problem and instead of trying to fix it they said F it and just keep on selling them. I know in the video it said owners wouldn't see much from the law suit but maybe if ford gets punched in the coin sack enough they will actually address the issue instead of screwing over their customers

[@eyecontrol4900]

The issue with the MT-82 generally lies in the shift linkage (not being especially robust/rigid) and the underlying bracketing. The MT-82 has the shifter mounted directly to the chassis via the transmission tunnel. Under hard acceleration/rpm and load, the engine and transmission twist under the torque of the engine (this is normal to an extent on every car), however most manual transmissions (for high powered cars) mount the shifter and linkage directly to the transmission, not the chassis like the mustang's design. This means the transmission moves and twists, but the shifter and linkage doesn’t move with it since it’s bolted to the chassis directly. This leads to an inconsistent shifter feel, grinding, high rpm lockout, and all those other things you hear about in the forums. Add the scenario of driver at a drag strip trying to shift aggressively and quickly to a shifter design that doesn’t like to be hurried and you have a recipe for complaints and issues. It's a shame Ford dont put the Tremec into the standard GT's

[@Mystorytilnow]

I think the Mach 1 looks awesome....everyone hates on every new design for some reason, even before they’ve seen it in person. . I remember when the 2015 and 2018 s550 debuted and everyone had something negative to say. Now they are arguably the best mustang generation ever.

Goddamnit. I'm a huge Mopar guy but I love everything with displacement. I was reaaaaallly hoping the Mach 1 had a longer fast back sweep from the greenhouse and at least an 8 inch longer wheel base. It wouldve looked soooo much like a modern Mach 1 I like everything they did spec wise but I wouldve killed for it to be it's own thing. Better steering proportions for drag and when set to kill less chance for crowd control. Plus dimensionally it wouldve looked so fucking sick. They wouldnt have even needed to redesign a full car, just the back end of what the already have - *literally* the back end of the door frame. I'm so tired of seeing recycled bs from both Mopar and Ford (I expect it from chevy lol but that's not a bad thing, it's just their model for the past 70 years - and it works pretty good for them)

huh, and i was commenting under one of your videos a few months ago that I was very hesitant to get a mustang with an mt-82. so I guess the rumors are true, then. Hope they go back to tremec.

[@CoyoteDAworld]

You guys think an stage 4 or 5 would help the mt 82 transmission? I'm buying soon an 2020 gt manual pp2 and I wasn't sure if that would help the trans or if there's anything else to help it ?

[@sylvesterstallone8637]

Ben Calimer sells bullitproof mt-82’s. Hardcore Ford racers and performance guys have said the Tremec manuals blow up and are much weaker than the MT-82. Get the car and if you break the transmission, get one from Calimer Transmissions

[@willubhave5]

Should of stuck with the indestructable Borg Warner Tremec in a 6 speed version...I wonder if BW makes a replacement for mustangs 2011-2021 (current)?

[@JokahFACE]

Big companies would rather pay soulless chinese factories to build cheap brittle transmission to put in their cars.

[@pwrshots]

what year and color is that stang @8:09? love that combo

[@davidkucher5.0Coy]

Thanks for the new info Bill, and I think the new MACH 1 is going to be a great fun car to drive especially if it's getting the Tremic from the GT 350 . Stay safe buddy! 😎👊👍

Why is your side mirror blue on the GT350??

[@drivecam101]

People are still complaining because they can't figure out the MT-82 gear ratios and then wonder why it breaks when they force it? It's been almost a decade. It took me all of a day to figure out that the gear numbers were all +1 compared to the 5spd in my in SN95. What I mean by that is that 2nd on MT-82 (at least up until recently when the ratios were changed) is similar in ratio to 1st on a T-45 or T-5 or any of that family of 5spd transmissions. So when I would use 2nd gear in my older Mustang I use 3rd in my newer one and so forth for every gear. The additional gear is 1st on the six speed. Back in 2011 when this started I watched people who were claiming lock outs and they were all forcing the transmission to do something that was abusive based on the gear ratios. It was behaving exactly like any manual transmission would if you did something stupid like trying to jam it into a gear inappropriate for the speed on a downshift. The real issues have to do with the soft stock shifter mount. If it bothers you, there are many aftermarket options. It hasn't bothered me enough to go through the hassle of installing one myself. If it was as easy as it was to replace the stock shifter on my SN95 I probably would have.

[@scotttiefenbach4752]

Mach 1 upper and lower grilles will match. They are changing the lower grille to be gloss black.

[@nascarniko2244]

I actually can not fucking believe as a former S197 owner 2011 Grabber blue premium with brembo pack that Ford dropped the tremec in the Mach 1. Like holy shit I think that sold alot of guys. Also maybe easier to swap into older GT models? With that being said I added my own nannies to the MT82. Barton short shift, two post bracket and redline fluid. Never once had an issue with that combo and I beat it around

[@rodrigog1493]

Since the shelby gt350 has a 5.2 with a flat plane crank, the new mach 1 should've had the 5.2 with a cross plane crank. Would've been better than just having the regular 5.0

[@RobertABooey1]

How is thier not a recall on the sync 1 radio?

[@RPMLegends18]

What wheels are on the car in the background? I like those a lot

[@cjponyparts]

Ryan R they are Shelby CS21 specifically made for the GT350 but we offer the CS5 as well which will fit 05-20 GT etc

[@400hpmustang]

Please tell me this is going to be a top loader Tremec and equipped with an aluminum one piece drive shaft?

[@wiselinkmarque3947]

they had to cut corners because that 5.0 is too expensive otherwise. hate to say it to folks, but I told you so years ago. make a car like this "affordable" and something has to go. sucks that it was part of the drivetrain lol

[@kirk9899]

Are they still going to have the PP2 for 2021?

[@SneakerPlanet]

Wasn’t the gt350 removed from the lineup?

[@edwardarsiaga3569]

Yup. A dam shame. Nice car but I would've preferred to see the 350 instead of this bucket.

[@MLeeder53]

as a 1LE guy I think this car will be awesome but the price has to be right. If they really are trying to make it a track car I think the price needs to be mid 40s. Maybe they don't care about beating the 1LE. I mean they have to an extent with a car thats 20g more so not the same. Still I would be interested in one of these!

[@21gbp]

I saw the new gray Mach one...wow..it is sweet. I like the Mach one more than the gt500...you really have to see that gray in real life...so cool!!

[@TheCdM1981]

No shaker then the challenger shaker scat pack rolls up and confuses ford. The point of the lawsuit is to force ford to change the trans which it looks like they’re starting to do. There’s no reason to use the MT82 any more. Tremec always.

[@paule538]

I don't think the lawsuit is to get the customer reimbursed it's more to say hey Ford you need to fix this shit. At the end of the day if they are producing crap Transmissions no one will want to buy the vehicle so I would argue that it actually helps Ford if it pushes them into getting a higher-quality drivetrain.

[@NewtonWashinton]

I was going to buy one but without the shaker hood that's a deal breaker.

[@71stang94]

My one complaint is the horsepower, i would consider purchasing if the power was 500 or better

[@cypher_0378]

I have a 2016 mustang GT PP1. Only 38k miles. I was looking to trade it in. I was thinking either a brand new 2020 GT with the 10 speed. (My 2016 is the 6 speed manual I just lost second gear I’ve kinda had it at this point) or a used GT350 I haven’t been able to find much on the durability and reliability of the tremec transmission on the GT350 though. Thoughts, opinions, and info would be appreciated guys. (I was also considering Mach E to go electric and see how that would be but Tesla model 3 is more competitive in price and performance then the Mach E in my opinion.)

[@sylvesterstallone8637]

Get a stage 2 MT82 from Calimer Transmission. It is bulletproof. Those tremecs from the 350 and Mach1 aren’t very strong and will blow up before an MT82. Ask any well known tuner and they will probably tell you the same thing

[@Johnny53kgb-nsa]

I miss the old can sound from the older hot rods. Cool video, thanks.

[@HughesEnterprises]

One of many reasons I bought my ‘18 PP1 with the 10 speed.

So they aren't discontinuing the shelby gt350 just yet?

[@SneakerPlanet]

That’s a good questions because it was supposed to be removed out of the lineup

[@mrepicpant]

This lawsuit may put a damper on Ford’s willingness to continue to offer a manual in all levels of trim for the mustang. I’m 19 and paid for my own ecoboost, I’m just praying my transmission doesn’t go out and Ford can learn from their mistakes.

[@deedub448]

$60K is ZL1 and GT 350 territory. Ford needs to keep this around the $50K mark at most.

[@thecapnpoopy]

if the mt82 lawsuit is won, wouldn't that mean that ford has to recall the transmissions?

[@conchrisafis2617]

Great video guys Ford has done an amazing job with this Mach 1 there will always be people complaining about everything opinions are like a- holes every one has one. Keep up the great videos I have learned so much from Cj on upgrades on my cars thanks.

[@lordXguru]

Honestly, when they first revealed the S550 people were hating it because it heavily shifted towards a European sports car look especially after the success of the s197.

[@TheTruth-fb4be]

"we will let the court decide IF it truly is an issue with the MT 82" So you yourself don't believe that there is an issue with the MT82 TRANS?

[@Max-me9xq]

I had the chance to buy a really nice 03 / 04 Mach1 but I bought a foxbody. I hope someday they bring back the foxbody look

[@fishsquishguy1833]

Captain Spaulding Don’t get me wrong Foxbody’s are cool and helped fill a void when performance was really awful. Back in the 80s they were having problems getting cool body lines out of thinner lighter sheet metal and everything had that boxy look. I get the nostalgia of a fox but I don’t think many would buy a car that looks like that today? I dig Ford and Mopar, really anything American, but I’m glad the new Challengers and Chargers don’t look like the ugly 80s versions of those two cars. That said, fox’s are cool and if you want to see a ton, visit your local dragstrip. That’s where many live out their lives today. Edit: isn’t the “5.0” badge for the Coyote a tribute (same script) to the 80s Fox?

[@davedave2882]

As a Shelby owner myself I am disappointed to see Shelby Parts on another Mustang. Shelby's are supposed to be an exclusive car but now you're taking parts from it and putting on another Mustang. I wonder how Carroll Shelby would have felt about that.

[@jaytodd5809]

Let's see..no hood shaker..no rear window louvers..no modern pedestal trunk spoiler..no grille driving lights..and no pony sail panel emblem. ..NO MACH 1!!

I love the new front design. I hope the GTs have that design too

[@Robert8455]

Good commentary Bill. I don't care if they call it a parts bin car and it does not have a shaker hood. I'll be ready to buy one if they are too greedy otherwise it might be a used GT350. I had an MT-82 in my 11GT and not any problems even after adding a supercharger.
