Congrats ! It’s to bad they didn’t include lips for the rear wheel wells , but I’m told that you can modify them from the gt500 and use them . I hv a 21 white love it w/handling pkg

We live on a bit of a hill. I had to wait to install the lower splitter until the base of our driveway could be modified. With the splitter installed the Mach 1 will now clear but you can’t roll a pencil under it on the way in.

Yes ! Lol I pulled 1 rivet out they installed all new rivets with a bigger head on them so minor scrapes wouldn’t pull them loose but that’s not to say highway trash wouldn’t be a problem

Nice choice. I did see a Eruption Green Handling Pack car a few weeks ago in person. Looks good. I know what you mean about the color choices. We started with Fighter Jet Grey, then Race Red, then Iconic Silver, then back to Red.
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 another 13 BOSS or a 13/14 Shelby GT500

The Mach is much better than the Boss but not as good as the GT500. I’ve driven all three and turned down my dads BossLS to order a Mach. They’re the best daily car for sure and I should start that in March.

What makes it not as good as the S197 GT500? Is it just the power? I am very curious because I owned numerous Boss 302’s and 13’ & and 14’ GT500’s. Like multiples of each. I now have a Mach 1 which will actually be here tomorrow morning. I have never driven one. Originally I was going to go for a Boss or a S197 GT500 because I loved them so much when I had them. So many people compared the Mach to the Boss for me but not many did against the GT500. For me, I absolutely loved the Boss but the GT500 was more of a drag racer. It was just fun because it was so fast. The Boss was fun. I spent many dollars setting my GT500’s up but never was impressed with them as much as the Boss. So I am expecting to o absolutely love my Mach when it shows tomorrow and impress me enough that I am glad I bought it versus a used low mileage Boss.

I’m curious too. I just sold my ‘14 GT500 and already have sellers remorse. Already back in the market for another Mustang. Looking for a low mileage S197 13/14 or a 21/22 Mach 1 performance pack.

I know of a real nice blue with red stripe loaded car, low miles. I think he is asking $70k. I went with a 2023 Mach1 instead.

If you want the info just pm me.

Thanks. Love a DIB, but not with the red stripes. Thanks for trying to make the connection.

Now that you have your Mach 1, what’s your take on that vs the 13/14?

It’s the power and potential. You’re starting with 662hp and a blower with potential to make 750rwhp with around $1000. Add some 4.10s and drag radials and that Tremec trans and no NA Boss/Mach will hold a candle to the fun.
The Boss was great but once you’re used to Tremec that MT82 is awful.

@Dadz500 did you get it yet?
My build date is 2/22.
