    Would you spend the extra $20K for the Mach 1? Or buy a regular GT instead? Read our review here: www.whichcar.com.au/reviews/2021-ford-mustang-mach-1-track-test

      For a guy that has one on order,a good review of this special car,i allways thought the media in the past was on payroll of GMH,being a owner of many FPVs [which i have allways modded the motor and suspension]gave very poor reviews of a wonderful and relieable car,thanks for being honest about this car

    Nice review!!!
    Unfortunately,some of the Ford dealers in Australia have increased the Drive Away Price of Mach 1 to AU$97K, and this price does not even have the option of Recaro seat. All of these are just because of the limited supply of this car. Furthermore, after you receive the car, you will find out that some of the packages and equipment that shown on the brochure when you paid the deposit are missing!!! What ridiculous???
    Imagine, AU$97K, you can get a Brand New Mercedes E-Class, Range Rover Velar, or the newly designed Defender 110!!!
    Words from a purchaser of 2021 Ford Mustang Mach 1(That badge, GT350 transmission, and Bullit Exhurst are Fxxxing awesome).

      who cares that someone stuffed up the brochure, we have all heard it before, at the end of the day its still worth the money for the MACH1, if not buy a GT that everybody else has.. BTW in NZ they have the correct brochure and they only got 50 cars all sold in the first day!! and the guy who purchased one!! above lucky bastard!! and to you James Zhou, crying sad tears for you.. would you like me to name some other over prices cars?? BMW M4 160K ect.. they are well over priced but I dont care if i want one... BTW I would rather have the MACH it will increase with price and BMW will lose 50k in a heart beat..

    I did what you asked fella's, I liked AND subscribed! Great review, clearly your conclusion is that the parts-bin special is more than the sum of those parts.
    Tell me, does the Tremec feel better than the Getrag in the hand? Do you think its tall 1st is only because we missed out on the US-spec 3.73 diff (compared to our 3.55); in other words, do you think that Ford had a beautifully matched trans/rear that has been diminished a little by the rear axle choice here in Aus? Therefore, do you reckon it's worth fitting the 3.73s to my car? Finally, does it really sound any different to a regular GT? (GTs do sound damn good...I have a 2020). My computer's speakers just cannot convey those sounds well enough for me to judge here in front of the fire at home.

    • @alexinwood2723
      @alexinwood2723 3 роки тому

      Sorry for the tardy reply! And thanks for subscribing. Yes, the Tremec did feel slightly snappier to me although the difference isn't night and day. And you're also bang on that the US-spec diff is preferable. Such a shame we don't get it here. As for the sound: yes, it sounds meaner and has a nastier edge to the exhaust note over a regular GT. Hope you enjoy your car and our future vids! Cheers

      @@WheelsAustralia GT is good value and, for road driving, the value choice. If you want to track it at all the normal GT will overheat and go in to limp mode after a few laps. The Mach 1 has more engine cooling, trans cooling and diff cooling and can do lap after lap.

      does it handle and steer a lot better than a stock GT? since both the mach1 and stock GT have the same power output, i would'nt have thought the huge price gap would be worth it. but maybe im wrong

    at the end of the day in 10 years time its said MACH1 on the side, anyone can buy a GT, those who bought a GT wish they had something different. The Mach one looks sensational and is a track focused car apparently the best yet from Ford. spend what you want on a GT but it still said's on the compliance GT mustang not Mustang MACH1. not rocket science spend big now get it back 10 fold later.. how do i know I have a 69 mach, not a 69 mustang. grab one of these new MACH's if you can but i doubted it!! everyone is sold!! firefighter grey with appearance pack is the sort after..20k difference is nothing in a car, buy a brand new car today and loose more than 20k when you leave the showroom floor. One day you will all be chauffeured around in your electric cars forgetting how a V8 sounded and felt. For me this car looks and sound awesome. you will definitely get your money back BTW i luv or the knockers just jealous you dont have one. i certainly am!! would buy one in a heartbeat!! Yes it will make your heart jump a beat when you put foot flat to the floor and pile into a cnr...
