Is the 2021 Ford Mach 1 the BEST new Mustang GT you should buy?
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
The Mach 1 is back and Ford has upped the performance oof the Mustang GT platform. Under the hood is a 5.0L V8 that is producing 480HP & mated to a TREMEC 6-speed manual transmission. Riding on a specially tune magna-ride suspension and unique 19in wheels. On the outside there isn't a shaker hood but special Mach 1 striping, front fascia and rear diffuser. On the inside the differences from a standard Mustang are subtle but if you look closely they are there. Is the 2021 Ford Mach 1 the BEST new Mustang GT you should buy?

It would look more iconic with a shaker scoop, but that stripe softens that blow. The sound is great, and grabber yellow is a standout. Thanks for all your work, Lori! Awesome review as always, Joe!

Lol right, Ford is like "How much to add the proper shaker hood that all our previous Mach 1 cars had? We're already over charging for the vehicle so let's increase our profits and just add a sticker!" 🙄

What people aren't doing, is researching it. I heard some twat on here saying "it's a GT with stickers on it" EXACTLY what a know it all, with ZERO substance, WOULD say. It's the most fleshed out, track ready platform Ford has released yet. I've had it on the track already, these big mouths yapping about Chevy this or Chrysler that, had better put up, or stfu. You may believe me when I say it's amazing off the showroom floor. You are spot on, E. Fortune.
Comprehensive, entertaining, and useful review as usual, Joe. I appreciate how you drive 'em like we wanna see; clearly, you're a 21st century hot rodder. Down here in Aus, we never got the Shelbys, but the Mach 1 sure fits the bill for we old-schoolers who grew up with naturally aspirated V8 manuals. Unfortunately, we don't get the Grabber Yellow, nor the handling pack option, but we get everything else in a Mach 1. Thanks again, mate; love your work!
Hi Joe, I ordered my 2021 Mach 1 Fighter Jet gray, ebony interior, Tremec 6 spd, back in jan/2021 it just came in and I pick it up yesterday 3/14/21 its awesome msrp $57,500. no discounts on Mach1. but after putting 25 miles on last night in my opinion it is worth the wait and price . And Joe your description and Lori's camera work you do a great job of explaining everything .THIS CAR IS AWSOME and brings me back when I bought my 1st brand new 1969 Mustang Mach 1 candy apple red 428 super cobra jet 4 spd.

Great review Joe. The smooth Florida roads may make it hard to tell, but how is the tramlining in the Mach 1? Back when I drove the GT350 (the 2016 model year) it would follow every rut in the road like crazy. It detracted from the driving experience quite a bit, unless the roads were very smooth. I'm wondering if the Ford engineers have improved things...
That iconic shaker hood is missing but the aftermarket will probably take care of it💪🏽
Another great review from Joe!!!

In 1989 I bought a new Mustang GT, 225 hp as I recall... for $14,000. Now this is approaching $60K, how do most American's afford this? lol .... I must just be getting old, $60K can I buy so much more, like my nicely equipped F-150. Joe, again.... nice work on the review, it sure looked fun to drive!

Ford will Sell you a Supercharger, Install it for you, and give you a Full Factory Warranty. Ford won't do that for the Voodoo.
If the wait hadn't been so long, I'd have one of these. As it is, I went with a 2020 Roush Stage 3. Definitely in another level, and I'm glad I chose it. The Mach 1 does look like a fun car, though!
Thanks Joe for the honest evaluation; I agree with your Zonks... The S650 is around the corner, so I think Ford made a good business decision. I'm gonna get one - same Grabber Yellow - for a daily driver and a little track time.
Ford does a great job on the exhaust sound. I wish the C8 had a bit more sound from the Z51 option . The mach 1 sounds better then the raspy GT350. The 2020 Shelby GT500 sounds the best of all current performance mustangs. But $80K + gets a bit pricey.
