I'm trying hard to stop dwelling on all the things that the Mach 1 is not ( in comparison to my old Boss) and to be more positive and appreciative towards all the things that the Mach 1 is.
The Mach 1 is way more comfortable.
The seating postion/shifter/pedal placement are all more natural. The...
I see that the Magnum XLs are being swapped commonly, but am very interested in a TR 3160 swap.
I have the 3160 in my 2022 Mach 1 and I love it. I was thinking this transmission would match up better, ratio wise, to a Boss/Roadrunner engine vs a Magnum XL.
You are 100% right.
All I have been doing since I got this Mach 1 is compare it to my old Boss.
It is almost unfair to the Mach 1... HA!
I definitely need more seat time.
Once I have had a chance to roll some miles on it ( has less than 500 miles now) I would like to start a thread about the...
You asked for help...I'm offering my opinion and a little insight as a past owner.
I no longer have the car. I still kick myself for selling it.
BOSS's look good in all the colors. If you want a different color, then buy that color.
My current ride is a 2022 Mach 1. It's Iconic Silver. It...
Loved mine!
The car attracts more attention than any other BOSS color.
Plus SBY was a BOSS specific color, NOT available on any other Mustang that year, unlike all the rest of the colors that could be had on any Mustang.
My Mach 1 is now home. Picked it up last Friday. Chassis #N4279.
The Cups are coming off and PS4S's are going on this coming Saturday.
I also ordered an Auto Authority spare wheel/tire. It's on route and I should have it soon.
Looking forward to getting some seat time.
Hopefully I can get...
From my informal snooping around on other Mustang sites and such, the closest guesstimate I am seeing is roughly 6,000 2021s, another 6,000 for 2022 and somewhere about 3,000 for 2023.
So around 15K-16K total S550 Mach 1's produced.
AGAIN this is totally "word of mouth" only using the highest...
The deed is done!
I bought the car, but because its out of my home state I will have to wait until later next week for the dealer to get it registered/plated.
I'm hoping to pick it up next Friday morning.
I did not drive the car.
The weather sucked today. It was pouring rain and only 46...
The calipers are black. I agree red ones would have looked good.
Its a 700A car with the HP only. No other options.
My BOSS had Recaros and while they definitely held you in place, I didn't find them comfortable. The lower thigh bolsters were the issue. After about an hour they bothered my...
It might be too late. HA!
I'm going to test drive (and hopefully seal the deal on) the leftover 2022 Iconic Silver Mach 1 HP car on Saturday. I felt serious enough to put a $500 (refundable) deposit to hold the car until then.
I have been reading/watching everything I can about the car for...
Dadz500, I would LOVE to hear you go on about them. I am Very interested in each and every little thing that you like or dislike.
If you feel this is not the appropriate place to do so, please send me a PM.
Thanks.
I agree on the tires not being that good for the street. I have a friend who actually tracks his cars and would purchase the Cups from me so I could immediately swap for Pilot 4S's
The 2022 Mach 1 I'm currently looking at is discounted to $62K. That includes DOC fee, but not tax, title or reg.
That is for a 700A, 6 speed, HP car. No other options.
A clean, low mileage 2013 BOSS (my personal choice of year) is going to be $40K
We all know the clutch and transmission are...
Thanks for all the advice.
I was really hoping to find someone who came out of a BOSS and got into a Mach 1. Very curious as to their opinions of the two.
Would love to hear the different driving dynamics. Also which one they thought had more character and which one is more fun!
Well spring is here and I have not come up with another BOSS or Shelby.
I have been looking at Mach 1s again and see the pricing is finally starting to fall.
I have just today found 2 left overs close to me. A 21 and a 22. Both 700A, 6 speed, HP cars.
I will look into them further come Monday.
If you are seriously looking into swapping an automatic into a Boss and adding a blower, I think you would be WAY better off starting out with an automatic 11-14 GT.
Sorry for the late reply
I found out I could order the exact same car from a different dealer for $5000 less, so I canceled the original order.
Then once I was no longer committed, I started thinking I would just wait things out see what happens in Feb or March
I still have an urge to buy either...
Congrats on the Mach 1. Looks really good in Race Red.
I just placed an order for a 2023 Mach 1 Tremec, 700a w/Handling Package.
Picking the options was easy. Picking the color was extremely tough! They look good in so many colors, but in the end it was a toss up between Grabber Blue and...
