Coming from a 52-year old car-guy who's been a mustang enthusiast for the past 40 years, I can honestly say the Mach1 is my favorite mustang in terms of looks. The Mustang often looks a bit awkward at times through the years. They absolutely nailed it with the Mach 1 in terms of balanced looks. The stance, the wheels and their offsets, the aero, the exhaust tips, everything in perfect balance. When you see this beauty coming down the road it just looks perfect. The GT500 of course looks amazing, but in terms on non-shelby stangs, you can't top this Mach1 in terms of looks in my book.

[@jasonlommen4769]

I’m same age as you, been a mustang junkie my whole life. Have owned dozens of them. It’s funny how subjective car tastes are. I don’t really like the Mach1 at all, does nothing for me.

This race just showed you how important gear ratios are. Negating the drivers weights these cars should have just about the same power to weight ratio but with the Mach 1s closer gears it can jump out faster. Once the speeds climb the longer gears of the s650 close the gap. If they did a top speed test I bet the s650 would pull the Mach eventually. Not shocked about this result

@halow4 the s650 is just plain slower its not surprising at all. It's a failure. The gearing isn't that much different between them it's not like a huge difference the first gear is long on the tremec. The s650 just sucks. It's basically the same thing as s550 with a locked down ecu. It's not an improvement It's lucky to run even with let alone ahead of an older Mach.

Transmission gearing is actually close. MT82 I believe is a D4 version and first and second are about the same. I know the Mach has 3.73 and I'm betting the GT has 3.55s. Comes down to driver.

[@rican_5oh]

It’s the gearing in the trans. Mach 1 has tighter gear ratios. GT has MT82D4 with a 1:1 4th gear, while Mach 1 1:1 is 5th. It’s as if Ford tried to exaggerate the differences between the manual and the 10R80 when the 10R80 came out to make it seem that much better. The close ratios in the 11-17 MT82 are much better. I love mine.

[@302Mustang13]

My MT82 pre D4 is geared perfectly. Unfortunately I'm going to be replacing my 3.73s next year with 3.31s. Gotta rebuild the rear and will work better with boost coming soon thereafter.

[@MasterPCTech]

Yep, it’s even worse, when you run them in the 10 speed auto config. My 2021 stock GT does the same thing, to 2024s. Where S650 shines is when you upgrade the intakes to take advantage of their dual intake configuration, both at the fresh air intake and at the manifold.

Get a mach 1 without the handling package, then you will have the same size tires, and get both with the 10R80. Then you will have an apples to apples comparison. Using an HP mach 1 has shorter tires that will give an effectively lower gear ratio and the tremec 3160 has better internal gearing than the MT-82 D4 so in the end it's not a fair comparison.

The driver in the white car was a better driver. On the road race how come the white car started before the red car on the throttle at the starting point? You should switch drivers or get automatics

Redo this with a darkhorse 6 speed instead of a gt. I will lend mine for the experiment

[@RTRMF-BL]

Pretty predictable. Biggest difference with these two cars having a stick is the driver. 10 speed auto would be a little quicker but similar results. Not that much difference in these cars in a race like this. On a road course the handling pack Mach 1 would be quicker. Thing is a 2025 GT performance pack car costs as much as I paid for a Mach 1. Glad I got it

Tq and gearing friends wins races.

It's weight - the S650 gained 100-150 lbs over the S550 - it's now a 4,000 lb car, even with the manual transmission (lol yes really).

[@JROC734]

Sad as both cars are overweight pigs, built on mediocre platforms. I have such a disdain for the S550 dating back to 2014 due to its GEN5 Camaro weight, that I could careless anymore and would pick a S650 car over a S550 all day ever day. Really though just get a RCSB 18+ F150 5L. Way better built vehicle than a Mudstain. Not a large weight penalty between the 2 since 2015 with the F150 losing weight with the aluminum body, and the S550 gaining a bunch of weight over the S197. Stout SRA. More practical, useful, and comfortable. Better sounding firing order. Better fuel system. No MAF to have to fool with. Less $. 4WD is an option. Yes the modern 5L F150 is a way better Mustang than a S550 or S650 Mudstain. 👍

Ford gutted the 6 speed transfer somewhere along the way . The Zl1 has the same trans but the mechanicals are different than the Ford . Ford penny pinching cheaped out on the trans

[@kobedabest]

If the s650 can't take out 5 people with one swoop, its not a real Mustang!

Awesome machines but I'm s197 for life.

??? Very confusing 😕. But I commend Ford for doing all the things Chevy won't do .

BS. Square Port > Cathedrals. 4.065" bore > 3.898 bore.

So - for $15k less I’m going with the GT

[@5.0F150-j]

@@YingYangStang GT is a good buy. Mach is for track use not in its element on a strip.

[@commycomentor9695]

Exact opposite of what I had happen at the drag strip.

[@ClickbaitMotorsports]

These anecdotal stories are hilarious. 😂

[@antz19coyote73]

Let’s be real it’s a S550 GT vs. S650. Besides the Trans the Mach 1 is a GT
