Going Out With A Bang! // 2021 Ford Mustang Mach 1 Review

[@joshuaenyart5570]

Sooo close!! The manual transmission option is the tremec out of the gt350 Shelby!!

Love my 2022 Mach 1!! I went with the 10 speed and I just wanted something different from driving a manual transmission all of driving life. This is the first automatic transmission vehicle I have ever owned and I love this transmission. I know the 6 speed tremec is awesome and smooth, but I love how this car goes through the gears so fast. Great review and really like seeing the underneath of the car. The technology that went into this Mustang is really awesome. Thanks for a great video Sarah.

One thing,the best '71 fastback had the Boss 351. That car had the quickest 1/4 mile et of any Ford street car produced,from '68 to '71!

[@AaronAverett]

That color is hotness. Also, correction: The manual transmission you get on this is the same Tremec one used in the GT350 (and Camaro and Challenger), not the Getrag one that everyone hates. Having owned a regular GT, I can't say I found the MT-82 to be bad, but I thought the mounts needed to be a little stiffer.

[@matthewfuller1129]

Correct. Tremec TR-3160, I think....

[@johnandstephanie377]

I've been beating mine, with respect, since 2015 (Performance pack GT)

[@johndavidwolf4239]

I have been driving BMWs with manual Getrags for years, the key to make them shift better is to use RedLine MTF.

[@johnpenwell6402]

I’m with you on the MT82, I have one in my 2019 GT and haven’t run into any major shifting issues. I think a lot of the complaints around it come from earlier model years. What I really wish they brought down from the GT350 are the Shelby recaros. They have some serious bolstering, way more than what you get with the GTs, and are very comfortable.

[@firstnamelastname7771]

That's great to know

I believe the dual ball joints on some cars is to help with suspension geometry like steering axis, scrub radius etc. With 2 ball joints, the strut rotates around an imaginary point that’s more inboard than if it was just rotating around a single actual lower ball joint.

[@chadkimmel8957]

My only brand new car was 2004 40th anniversary Mach1 in Competition Orange. 4.6 DOHC 310 hp 335 lbft, 5 speed Tremec, and 3.55 rear.

[@stephenchigwidden7504]

Its easy for me to imagine how I would feel driving the car myself when I watch your reviews. Not just how the car feels to drive but how I would feel emotionally. That why I love your reviews. Average cars will go electric first but I think petrol cars will still be available for performance cars for a while yet. Eventually petrol will exist as an option along with the regular line-up but I think we still have some time.

[@natethegreatog]

Park any s550 next to a ‘69 Mach 1 and the shape is very similar to each other, those few years are what this car is made to look after, the fastback is almost exact in shape and curves. The curve of the hood is also similar.

[@karag6556]

8:26 that would not be true though, the bullitt only came with the MT-82 transmission, the Mach 1 comes standard with the GT350 tremec transmission which is a major difference

Do you mean in the manual

This is my car, exactly. Grabber Yellow with those wheels. I got the 6 speed tremec. I freaking love it. Just lowered it 1 inch on Steeda Magneride springs. have a steeda x pipe resonator delete but going full corsa as time and budget allow. Getting the GT500 wing with gurney flap when it comes in, on backoder. Love it. Great review. Minor point, no getrag, only tremec 6 speed. ;)

Great review Sarah. When I was a kid, my uncle had the 1971 Mach1 and still remember the smell of the 429 engine and the tires burn! I like your French pronounciation regarding the air bag warning :) ...but I had no clue of what you were saying. I had to read the sticker myself!

[@andrewdrabble8939]

Always loved the Mustang and that Mach 1 is just delicious. I agree that it should have the manual gearbox (as I personally don't like automatics) but the superb noise coming out of that exhaust is music to my ears. It's just a shame we don't get the higher powered versions (the GT350, the Bullitt, the Boss 302, that Mach 1) over here in England unless you import them yourself
