[@jbp1981]

The 350 will always be more desirable and hold more value than the mach. The mach needed a unique engine to separate it from the GT. A CPC 5.2 would have been a no brainer in this car. 10k more now will sound like a bargain down the road. Repeat of 03/04.

[@gordonhenrichs]

Definitely repeat of 03/04 imo. But Derek’s car is really nice!

[@rarecars3336]

03-04 machs have also held their value considerably better than a GT has. Granted that's a 4v vs 2v thing but I would assume although maybe to slightly less of a degree, this will still hold its value significantly better than a GT.

[@midnight347]

​@Rare Cars the old Mach had a way better engine and unique powerplant compared to a gt. I think the modern one should have a 12.5:1 5.2 cpc with a factory cj and unique cams then it would be as much an upgrade over the gt as the 03-04 was in its time. The new one is great everywhere but the engine it's just not different enough to warrant the prices they go for imo.

[@shanefowler9443]

​@midnight347 yes I agree I think the mach1 is only worth it if you're getting stick because the Tremeck is an amazing transmission. I love it in my gt350. Might as well go 18+ gt if you're getting automatic.

[@bodavis9492]

To be fair it does rev out higher than regular gt. So it is more unique in that way kinda like the 350

[@VerdeBoy13]

Got a 19 GT350 and then a 20' GT350R. Only mess with 19/20. Mach 1 is cool but its no shelby. My R was over 80k so i understand the price range. Worth it

[@bigmacmach1185]

Love my 21 mach 1, handling package, appearance package, 6 speed. I thought about the gt350, but didn't want to worry or deal with those issues. Also, they underrated the mach 1s I think. Every stock one I have seen has dynoed between 503 and 526 hp. Best bang for the buck and reliability IMO.

[@ericdawson845]

Guess I was lucky as I have 83+ thousand miles on my GT350 with no oil burning and ZERO problems.

[@mah_alhaddabi97]

83k?

[@stevengardner9126]

I have a gen 1 2016 that has given me great service No oil Problems

[@Tanner_Teves]

If the GT350 had the same reliability as the 5.0’s then I wouldn’t understand why someone would take a Mach 1 over it. But, unfortunately it doesn’t so I could definitely see why you chose the Mach 1 instead. Nonetheless I think you made a great choice!

[@BestArmani]

if you get a gen 2 350 is pretty reliable

[@Tanner_Teves]

@@BestArmani Yeah but as Derek mentioned in the video they are a lot more expensive than gen 1's. Finding a super low mile gen 2 for 60k would be pretty tough.

[@Eraudog]

That's why you buy a warranty. I did 2 years of almost daily research before buying my GT350, and found that the same few people were blasting the gen 1 engines on all of the GT350 groups. And after seemingly endless searches, it seems that less than 1% of all gen 1 engines actually had problems.

[@brandywine3235]

This is a great point. Only people with issues come on the internet to complain. Those that are happy don't. Have to spend the time and do the research.

[@danielmembrillo6472]

Regardless, just buy a 350 and get the warranty. I bought a 2017 GT350, then purchased the extended warranty through Lombard. Simple. Also, dude is wrong - GT350s NEVER came with auto rev match.

[@Eraudog]

@@danielmembrillo6472 was going to point that out about the rev matching, forgot to in my comment. Also, it's not even close to a 50/50 shot if a gen 1 is going to blow up, it's actually less than 1% of engines that were effected, and they narrowed it down to one build team, which the trainee was leaving the timing tensioner blocks in, the rest of the engines were pretty much flawless (with the exception of buyers not following proper break-in procedures).

That's the exact same reason I chose the Mach 1 plus a lot more torque down low.

[@mikehoncho7165]

The GT350 has more torque, 429 compared to 420. Is there something different about the Mach 1 that gives it more torque than advertised?

[@wesd2845]

@@mikehoncho7165 As I mentioned in the comments the Mach1 has more torque "down low" which means in the low RPM range. The GT350 gets the 429 torque up top in the high RPM range. The Mach 1 you are correct has 9 less torque but that's up top.

[@sorason931]

Thats why I traded in my 2016 GT350 over a year ago it started to have that 2k raddle and took it in to have them look at it. They said its fine and a natural sound it makes...but if it gets worse bring it back in. I only had like 2000 miles/3 months left on warranty and was told at the time 27k to replace it if bad. So I did not feel conferrable driving it anymore sadly so I went to Toyota and traded it in for a MK5 Supra and still loving the car. No issues and I needed a change form mustangs I owned 5 of them and wanted something new.

[@RaulGarcia-vz4go]

Derek I encourage everyone to be careful with gen 3 coyotes , I blew my motor on my 2019 with only 26k miles , car was completely stock and meticulously taken care of …. A friend of mine blew his 2022 with less than 10k miles and the car was stock as well ….. lately I’ve heard about a couple people with the same issues …. Camshafts going out and the timing chain as well … love the platform but it’s insane how weak the motors are compared to gen 2s which I owned in the past .

[@RaulGarcia-vz4go]

All of this happened with no warnings , no check enegine lights , no loss in performance… complete surprise

[@devgamz]

Yo Derek imma need a full 20 min video of just driving around with other mustangs. that sound never gets old

[@DreamWaves]

Gen 2 engines grenade as well. I have a gen 1, not a single issue whatsoever. I think a large problem is user error; I always let it get up to temp before getting on it, check the oil regularly, and only add oil as recommended per the supplemental owners manual ("DO NOT ADD OIL UNTIL..."). I think people either let the oil go too long without checking and/or over filled the oil. That said, they are a high revving, crazy engine that are more prone to issues than a cross-plane crank. I get it - I was a little apprehensive when I got mine. I'll eventually change to either a GT500, C7/C8 Z06, etc... I think I will feel a little peace of mind when I do.

[@CoyoteCarroll]

That was biggest problem with the 350 was it has some oil consumption and people didn’t check it then it blew up from lack of oil. Just gotta pay attention

[@midnight347]

​@Raven5.0 it isn't that hard to check the oil lol. Guys that are hands off let the dealer work on it type of people prob don't belong in a gt350 anyways.

[@anthonyd55]

Where is the manual that I can read ?

[@Hamza_Aziz]

Exactly the reasons I was thinking in my head before pulling a trigger on my car, couldn't gamble on GT350 and like you I was not patient to find the right one with warranty !

[@iciz7240]

Currently in a procharged 2V. Crazy to see how far you’ve come. Definitely a goal

[@PapaP86]

Same reason I went with a Mach 1 over a GT350R. Engines are just iffier and felt better about having a warranty with it. Even if the Voodoos don't have a catastrophic issue, they do often burn oil. Coyotes are generally pretty bulletproof, even enough to to handle turbo or superchargers up to 700-750hp without upgraded internals, just upgraded oil pump gears. I'd rather supercharge a Mach 1 than get a 350.

[@natestang6450]

I completely agree with you and believe you made the right move! Congratulations on a great car!!!

[@DanielLopez-ht4ov]

Kinda hard to find a gt350 that hasn’t been raped that’s for dang sure but I do love my 2018 gt350..the Mach are nice nice cars too.. they have all the gt350 parts without the the 5.2 motor .. plus a lot of ppl when they bought the gt350 new didn’t do the brake in period correctly so that’s why the motors failed too! Hopefully 🤞🏼 (fingers crossed) I won’t ever have to replace the motor in mine

[@Wahoo3133]

Good looking car not a bad choice, depends on what your going to do with car , daily driver Mach 1 , weekend Gt350 , the 350 will definitely hold value being a 5.2 flatplane , just my opinion

Imagine Derek with a gt500 that has to be next man

[@flyboyu777]

Nothing better than the 5.2 Voodoo. The sound of it alone is to die for, and with a tune tweak it’s a super-strong pulling motor. 8250 RPM too!

I bought a 2020 GT350 for 63K with 2500 miles. I bought an extended warranty which is good till 2030 and 113K miles. And if I choose to sell it, It's transferable and you able to add more years.

Shelby's are special for sure. Why gamble at that price point unless you have money to burn. You can explore the limits of your Mach 1 and when your ready see what the next level you want to rise too. You have been steadily rising up. Go to VIR and switch them up and see how they stack up.

I’m taking a 350, and don’t get me wrong. I like the MACH but to me they miss monikered that car, they should’ve made it the Boss 302, typically throughout history MACH’s have some form of cobra style engine in them. To me the new MACH is just a GT performance pack two on steroids. If Ford would’ve taken the engine that was in the Shelby GT500 the 5.2 Predator and made a naturally aspirated variant of it and put that in there I would take the MACH that would make it stand out from any Mustang GT. Ford got lazy, they had way too many Bullet GT engines left because the demand did not meet the supply, so they decided to keep those in the parts bin, and just reuse them in the mock one and to sweeten the deal, they decided to put in the tremack transmission that was in the GT350. If they would’ve put a naturally aspirated version of the cross plane crank 5.2 predator I’d buy the Mach witho a doubt.

Mach 1 is a great car but it doesn't beat a GT350. Gen 1 issues are real but not as big as the hype made them, 3-4k oil changes with checking the dip every 2nd fill up likely would've saved a lot of issues (and some engines) but Ford didn't set the schedules and expectations properly.

Does the Tremec in the Mach 1 have the huge ratio gap between 5th and 6th. If there's two things I hate about my 2018 GT350 it's the tram lining and the stupid tall 6th gear. I would happily pay for the extra gas if it had a more useable 6th gear.
