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.

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.

Now that mine is broken in (1500mi currently) I can say that this is a drivers car. It’s a pleasure to daily and enjoy precise handling/shifting/braking and great power 5000-7500.
Good luck it’s worth it!

I am doing the same thing. I wanted one, but prices were nuts. I have a few dealers I inquired with that had some leftover 22's, they would not deal. Three months later they still have the cars and are willing to deal. My issue is I would need to sell my 2011 GT500, I don't have garage space for two cars, and I know if I store one offsite I would never drive it.

What kind of Shelby are you looking for? I have 2 super nice ones right now.

I previously owned numerous Boss and GT500’s, had a GT350 as well. I started looking for a clean 13’ Boss or GT500 in September. After looking at lots of nice ones and wanting many of them, I found a perfect one with glass roof, ruby red, just everything I wanted. Put a deposit down on it and the day I was supposed to pick it up the guy told me he sold it to someone else for more money. After that I decided I was going to buy a Mach1. The prices were crazy high so I didn’t move on anything. Anyway, called the Dealer I used to buy all my cars from in Florida when I lived there and they offered me an amazing deal on a factory order; I gladly accepted. I received my car at my house 1/6/23, a basically fully loaded 23’ but without the HP package because Ford had them on hold and wasn’t sure if they would make any 23’ HP’s. So I ordered with everything but that and got it with the 6 speed. What an Amazing car!! It is every bit as fun to drive as the Boss 302’s are, a little faster, not as good looking. Anyway, I added all the HP stuff and then some, purchased the Steeda catalog for it. In the end I am glad it happened this was because the HP wheels and tires would have just been a waste since I didn’t want the PS2’s and I don’t like the way the front wheels poke out. I also prefer the smaller spoiler which I didn’t think would be the case. I even bought the spoiler and had it here ready to go when the car came in. Well, 4 months later I still have the smaller spoiler on and really like it. Upgraded the wheels to HRE and the suspension “upgrades” go on next week. All I can say is if you enjoyed the way a Boss drove is that you will love the Mach. The power feels really good so I am undecided if I am going to put a blower or not. So for about the same money as a now 10 year old car you can get what may very well be the best Mustang I have owned! Obviously the 500 is faster but that’s all it has over it. If you have not yet driven a Mach, do yourself a favor and do it before you buy something else. It’s an amazing car!

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!

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 weak links and pricey to upgrade/swap out.
That said, a guy could have a bad ass BOSS for WAY under $62k.
Possibly under $52K if he spins his own wrenches.

I was looking at HP cars, they seem to be few and far between, and to be honest in Florida with our rain, those tires would not work for me. I have found a few fully loaded non-HP cars with 700A, Elite package and the upgraded wheels for a good price. I found a 2023 about 200 miles from me, MSRP 61K, they are offering it at 58k, and I think it will go lower as they have had it three months.
