The new Mustang Mach 1 is what we call a "parts bin special." Sometimes that's bad, but in this case, that's very very good. It has the 480HP Coyote V8 from the BULLITT, the subframes, transmission, and suspension tuning from the GT350, and it has the cooling capacity of the GT500. Depending on how you slice it, it's either the best Mustang GT ever made, or it's a Shelby GT350 without the engine warranty claims. (Don't be mad at us, Shelby people - we love the Voodoo engine, but we all know it's problematic in practice). Optional equipment on our tester includes leather trimmed Recaro bucket seats, the "Handling Package," and Bang & Olufsen stereo.
Ford provided the vehicle, insurance, and a tank of fuel for this review.

The 2021 Mustang Mach 1 is Either the Best Mustang GT Ever, or a Budget Shelby GT350 - Two Takes
#mustangmach1
#fordmustang - Auta a dopravní prostředky
So happy Ford did this car. It’s got the good manual transmission, the awesome suspension/steering from the GT350, and it’s more affordable than the GT350 was. Winner for me. So much better than a GT.
Agreed, no Getrag MT-82!
So much better? I know the mt82 isn’t the greatest but with rebates I can get roughly 2 stripper gt’s for the price of one mach 1, which will likely not have any rebates, rather some ADM. for near shelby prices, I want the dedicated shelby powerplant and prowess that put that car at the top of everyone’s dream list for the last 5 years.
Not in the used market
@@chrish9502 A lawsuit against Ford is taking place because of how poor the MT-82 is. So there’s that.
@@chrish9502 agreed. With some slight mods the mt82 is a good transmission for daily and spirited driving. Also agree how this is way too expensive. For the price I’d much rather get a gt350, I’m sure they’ll have way better resell value than these Mach 1’s
Can't believe they didn't make a Coyote joke when it crossed the road while in a Mustang!! lol
What would the joke have been?
Coyote engine ?
They’re not that quick. (the announcers not the animals)
There’s a coyote!…. Under the hood with 480 hp etc.
Where are all your friends?
480 of em' right here!
I care about Steve McQueen and I’m a millennial. I drive a Bullitt in the hopes that one day, my father who idolizes McQueen will acknowledge my existence.
hahahahahahahah
Well, he's not your real dad.
Enjoy the Car, the other can be over rated
I thought the 08/09 Bullitt was really cool even without knowing anything about McQueen and I was 19 when it came out.
I love this guy's videos, but this dude gets a little too big for his britches... Knocking McQueen (who would have kicked his ass) and that Mustang 10 speed is a foolish thing. Why knock the same tranny Chevy uses? No one carries a stick anymore except Ford in this car and a few other manufacturers. And you are right, the Tremec is the best.
Mach 1, two takes, three pedals. Perfect.
Cant want more in 2021 N/A 5l V8 with manual in europe people can dream of owning muscle cars because of huge tax and fuel prices.
4 cup 2s, 5 liters, 6 gears. Perfect
@@Chris-hw4mq this car in portugal coust 115.000 Euros something like 120.000 dolars
If I had a gun to my head and I only could get a V6 Mustang with a stick and a V8 with automatic, I would get the V6 with the stick. I will never own another automatic car again....I have been red pilled. It is a shame they have that garbage turbo 4 as the entry engine. The V6 was really good for the 2013 and 2014 Model years....maybe too good so they got rid of it.
@@fortheloveofnoise9298 between a garbage MT82 and a 10 speed I would take the 10 speed every day. In europe 4 cylinders mustangs are very popular because here fuel is expenssive and tax from gouverments is big on 5L engines.
My 22 Mach 1 HP drives very similarly to my 18 GT350, and that’s why I love it. The only thing missing is that flat plane crank insane noise.
Talking about people not using their mirrors, I used to drive my Corvette to work daily because it was more fun then my Lincoln, I used to park out in boonsville at work, one day I cam out and found someone parked so close to my car that I couldn't open the door without hitting their mirror on the drivers side. so I simply closed their mirror and went about my day.
a few days later I saw this same suv go past and the drivers side mirror was still closed, so in all that time they had never noticed the mirror was closed, or if they did they never made an attempt to open it back up. I am going with they didn't ever use their mirrors and when they changed lanes they did it out of blind leaps of faith.
This was in the Atlanta area right off of I 285, so it's fast moving heavy traffic
Atl area? My guess is a hoochi mamma tapping her weave while driving way to fast for conditions and blindly merging for no reason but to get stuck in traffic.
@@certifiedlawnpros lmfao 🤣 got me with the weave part
I’ve put 50k miles on my ‘17 GT with the MT-82 and have no complaints. I love driving it. It’s my first and only manual though so I don’t have anything to compare it to.
I think with the upgrade to the tremec and the reliability of the coyote the Mach 1 is a really appealing car. I think as an everyday car for a lot of people it makes more sense than a GT350, as special as it is.
You didn't mention it, so you must've had the down-shift rev match setting turned off. I got to spend a couple days at Road Atlanta with the Mach 1 back in April, and I was thoroughly impressed with the accuracy of the auto rev-match, even when trying to fool it by going 5-3 downshift at turn 10A. It got the revs right every time. And yes, I agree: this is a wonderful mix of GT350 and Coyote goodness. And the fighter jet gray is an awesome color.
Traded in my PP2 and couldn’t be happier with this M1-and no overheating diff now!
Great review and spot on.
just ordered my mach 1 today!
You guys do great reviews together. Keep up the good work!
I have a 15 GT with roush blower which puts more weight over the front end a little chassis bracing and a good clutch, Ben calimer built MT82 and a RST clutch 650whp.. it takes it all day the best part is it does need atleast a 275 front I run 305 square on track though it is a impressive car and powertrain for sure love the show..
I owned a GT350 from new in 2016 to 2018, used daily for business and pleasure, covered 52k miles during that time, and whilst I loved the car it was not without fault.
In that time it needed 2 new long blocks (1 @ 3.5kmls and 1 @ 32kmls) & new gearbox (@ 38kmls) all fitted under warranty, Ford dealership service was poor at best, and the engine used 1qt of oil every 500-750mls (I kept an average of 10qts in that trunk at all times) without fail for the entire time I owned it, even with the new engine rebuilds.
The only mods/upgrades I did to my car were resonator delete and MGW shifter kit (highly recommend). Aside from using it every day the best road trips were tail of the dragon and East Coast to West Coast and back in 5 days.
As I say, I loved that car but it always felt a bit too delicate to me and I felt like I was left high and dry with Fords customer service during my ownership.
Love this iteration of Mustang, and this looks like the one to buy, but I won’t be returning to Ford again sadly after my ownership experience.
Your story is the story of the gt350 and everyone still looks the other way. I have no idea how ford managed it but they did and kept the image strong.
And that’s why this car will be a great car and hold some good value. It’s a reliable gt350 basically
I'm right there with you with beyond atrocious customer service from Ford. I had been a loyal Ford fan since my first car (08 V6 Pony Package). My last one was a '16 5.0 that turned out to be a lemon and was eventually purchased back by Ford. Prior to them buying it back from me, I was:
-lied to about "services rendered" by two different Ford dealerships (my dashcam showed that the car sat in the same spot for three days with no one touching it)
- had frivolous "repair attempts" conducted so that they could profit off of them by cheating out Ford HQ ( for instance told me it was an intake manifold issue, which I knew for a fact it wasn't)
- a service tech drove my car 83 miles even though it was in for a potential engine issue, and so much more. I eventually found a dealer over an hour away from my location that was willing to take a real look at my car. Turns out that the engine was actually chewing itself up (the notorious coyote "tick" is quite real....), resulting in severe pitting of the camshaft, metal in the cylinder heads, and much more. A repair was done under warranty, but the issue returned only a month later. Seeing as my car had been at a dealer for "repairs" for a cumulative total of 6 months, I decided to part ways with it.
Once again, what should have been a simple process turned out to be a 2 month long ordeal. All Ford had to do was use a simple formula to determine the buy-back price (due to being in CA, and which they eventually did), but the lemon "rep" I was dealing with over the phone was an absolute dunce.
Long story short, I took the $40+K I received for the buy-back, and purchased a low mileage 08 Z06 (which now has h/c/i) to pair with my '16 Z06. So definitely made lemonade out of lemons (pun intended). That whole experience made me go from being a true Ford fan, to never wanting to own a Ford vehicle again, even though I was seriously considering purchasing a GT350 as a replacement (until I read about everything you just listed). At least Chevy rolls out the "red-carpet" if you're a 'Vette owner. *rant over*
@@FrenchAmericanTravel Hey buddy, sorry to resurrect an old comment but I am considering buying a Mach 1 or a GT and I’m in California. What dealership was it so I can avoid them like the fucking plague lol
My initial thoughts were that this was going to be a PP2 with an appearance package. All the Shelby bits makes this a little more special. Saw one in person recently and I thought it looked fantastic.
The only time Ford ever did a parts bin car right. Still heavy though, like all S550s are
@@mjcmustang don’t talk to me about heavy. I drive a scat pack
@@Nelbone 😂😂😂
Never see scat owners commenting like this 😂 👍🏾
@@DouEditz yea I’m not the one that thinks rainbow headlights is a build and intersection donuts are cool.
I've owned 2 Mustang GTs with the MT82. The transmission itself isn't that bad. There's a huge misconception that the transmission is the main problem. The primary issue is the stock shift linkage, which is absolute garbage. The MGW kit replaces the entire linkage, and makes it feel 100x better.
Nailed it
The clutch is the problem. Stock shifter not great either, but the clutch lockout at high rpm is when causes missed/grinding shifts
If Zack could lend Matt half his hair follicles, they would still both have a full head of hair.

3 on the tree
I have a regular GT, for the mt-82 I added a Blowfish support brace for the shifter, the Boomba racing transmission support and replaced the transmission oil with full synthetic. Those fixes do alot to mitigate the issues with the MT-82 and I spent a hell of a lot less for my Mustang. That and alot of Steeda suspension bits and its much better value proposition than a Mach 1 at around 40k including aftermarket wheels and tires included in that price.
Nice car but damn it’s just too expensive
Matt loved the Fiesta ST, I bought it. Matt loves the Mach 1, I bought it.
Great ride along. Appreciated your commentary. Well done. Thanks for posting.
Pretty good car, but a bit overpriced by 5-8k. Camaro 2SS 1LE is 8k less then Mach 1 with the handling package.
Great video, in the UK models we have lumbar adjustment and independent suspension setting. You can go into a customise feature to do it
Holy moly, now this is a badass mustang! Love it!
2021 Mach 1: the S550 Greatest Hits album
Tremec 6-speed with the 5.0 is the best of both worlds indeed!!
When spec’ed correctly it’s a beautiful mustang 😍
Me: I'm going to save some money this year.
Also Me: I'm going to buy this car.
I have that exact car on order and can't wait to take delivery! Classic Design Concepts does make a functional shaker system for this car now.
Best review of this car I have seen not date, top job guys 👍🏻
Coyote crosses Coyote like 2 ships passing....its your animal spirit guide telling you to buy one.
When asked about Steve McQueen most Millennials would say they loved the video of him yodeling at the Live Aid concert.
😎
shits expensive as hell tho. i’d be looking for a used 350 if i were in this market.
Exactly considering the GT350 started at Mach1 prices when it came out. What a slap in the face.
@@RadDadisRad mach 1 STARTS at $53k ... wth !!!!
I bought a GT350 2 months ago, and no part of me wishes I waited for a mach 1. With dealer overages, they're more expensive than used GT350s
agreed, Id rather just have a zl1 at this price.
Watch out for used 350s and if you get one make sure to get a warranty that covers the engine. The early ones had issues.
The Camera you are using makes really good video.
Love the car and the review.
Really great review guys!
The research bro!! Much respect
Great review - just got my Mach 1 and the Tremec is a joy to shift. I agree the clutch travel is a bit long.
I’m literally drooling over this car! I told myself that I was going to research other cars idk a older vette? A challenger ,charger a stinger,but this thing is a wicked machine and it’s unique so many people have a GT . Shelby/cobra/GT 350 it just looks a lot more aggressive than the GT. Can’t wait to test drive one!
How did they glaze over the fact that its 65k
Because they rich bois
@Johnny Chimpo i see, probably loaded its about 65 tho?
@Johnny Chimpo i see, maybe they weren't sure, so they didn't really dwell on it
@Johnny Chimpo yeah but whats comparable?
@Johnny Chimpo not performance wise
Thats one of the best looking Mustangs ever, even the wheels are awesome
Honestly only Mustang I'd buy and I don't really like Mustangs cause everyone has one. But this is an exception
@@tyberious3023 Id also buy the GT350-R and new GT500, also 100% a 2000 Cobra R
The wheels are fantastic
@@dghost198 I think so too. But Ford canceled these 😭
I never "got" mustangs until I rented a GT350 for a day. Incredible car. So if the the Mach 1 is even 80% of that car, it's gonna be a winner too.
Turo? Just rented a model s p90d myself
I rented a 350 for a couple days last year and they really are fantastic.
I have a 2018 GT350 and have also driven the new Mach 1, these are totally to different vehicles. I wouldn't trade my GT350 for anything.
@@SeeWorldKevin yep!
no voodoo mill is bunk
I know what my next car is now :)
The mt82 comments are over exaggerated lol
Ya definitely. There’s a shit ton of boosted mt82 Mustangs that are perfectly fine.
I wouldn’t call it a budget gt350 when dealers mark them up to 68 grand
thats M2 Comp with suspension and tuning money
@@Randy-rs1cg that’s GTR money too
@@doniwhips247 i would only say its worth it if it had the voodoo. no voodoo no go
M2 comp cost more and this does the same numbers and any gtr before 2012 have glass transmissions and still cost more
It's great but $65,000 for a non-Shelby Mustang is insanity. A ZL-1 is the same price with 200 more hp
You're missing the point. Chevy is still using ancient pushrod technology and a Mustang is classier.
Yes the Camaro ZL1 or the SS1LE have great performance for the $👍
That's Porsche Cayman S territory
And it's still slower... www.motortrend.com/news/ford-mustang-mach-1-shelby-gt350-gt500-test-data/
@@Stealth_Rider91 And yet it is still faster and a better car that doesn't have major engine issues. I love it when the fanboys all point out Camaro has terrible visibility and the truck is small. What are you guys 65 years old? Thought we were buying performance cars with the knowledge that sacrifices would be required for performance? www.motortrend.com/news/ford-mustang-mach-1-shelby-gt350-gt500-test-data/
Saw one exactly the same at my dealership but I sticked with the 21” pp1 but it’s a really nice looking car and amazing handling
My gt in Aussie has got lumbar support in the recaro on the drivers side only.
Great job on video really well explained
Outstanding critique!
I LOVE THE WHEELS!!!!!!!!!!
I literally adjust my seat every day in my 2015 mustang Ecoboost premium. They haven’t improved the seat design since the first model year… even with the recaro’s. The problem is the seats sit high compared to the console and wheel and there isn’t enough thigh room with the wheel properly adjusted (and I’m only 6 1” 180lbs). I’m going to end up getting sparco’s so I don’t have to fiddle with my seat adjustments constantly.
Just bought a 2022 mach 1 premium minus the handling package. I can't afford to buy a set of 2 grand tires every 5k miles... My 9th mustang in the past 23 years...very pleased so far. Had a 2017 gt prior to this. I was one of the fortunate ones I guess. Put around 42k miles on it and the mt-82 was still like butter when I traded it. I was surprised after reading some of the horror stories about it. Only have about 1200 miles on the mach so far, but definitely loving it so far...the engine problems with the 350 made me a little wary of it
Great review as always Matt. Is Zach your new partner ? I'd love to see your review of the mach 1 most of us will /have bought, the non HP version, MT as well. I recently bought one in NZ. On the 255/275 MPS4's obviously no tramlining. we are lucky to get the recarros with electric adjustable seats and electric lumbar support . Agree that the Tremac is much improved compared to my 2016 MT. Im very happy with my purchase in FJG, MT. don't plan on tracking so i guess the coolers are really redundant. cheers, tom
I love the smoking tire reviews. I'm with you on the seats, feels like your on a bar stool. I have a 2013 Boss Laguna-Seca, and I thought this might be the potential replacement but the second I sat in it... decision made; the Boss has a great seating position. I know the Boss isn't ever going to be a match to an independent suspension Mach1 but that Boss puts a smile on my face every time I get in it, and it keeps you on your toes which in my opinion adds to the excitement. I think I'll add a Tremec and a few misc. upgrades and keep it until the end of time. I like your review on the 2013 Yellow Boss with the coil overs and Cobra Jet set-up. That car is a beast.
As a proud owner of a Shelby GT500 and proud member of Team Shelby I gotta give this new Mach 1 props. Love the Shelby GT350 a little bit more over this car but wouldn't pass this one up if the time and price is right. Great video and review guys!😁👍🇺🇸
The Roush Stage 2 Supercharger with this Mach1 would be a my dream car !!
The full tilt Shelby car is still around. The GT500.
Really like these.
Oh I really like this, may look into one
So frustrating that Ford doesn't have the Tremec manual transmission standard on the normal GT. The Mach 1 is expensive ($65k) if all you want is a good manual. Great job on this review
Likely going to be the standard manual transmission on the next gen
What’s a t56 cost? Could someone or swap it into their GT / PP2 f
They’re too expensive. Ford usually tries to keep cost low to keep it the #1 american muscle/pony car seller.
A stock MT-82 has been shown to consistently hold more power than a Tremec TR-3160. It's not a T56XL and they break as well in high HP applications. The MT82 gets a lot of hate but it's beaten to death in 800hp cars that no manual trans is going to hold forever.
@@MybackHurtz1 #YDBT
solid review. well done
People call this car a budget Shelby or a parts bin special as an insult but I think it's a positive in some aspects. It's cheap enough (relatively speaking) that you can daily drive it while getting the best that Ford has to offer. The reliability and modability of the 5.0 while having the handling of the Cobra. It's not the best at anything but gives the average a taste of the top performance cars
I agree with the lumbar support remarks. My steering isn't 'darty' at all.
Nice review. I will say, the MT82's issues were directly due to the clutch. In stock form it wasn't bad but when you started modifying the engine and tuning it, raising the rev limiter, the OEM clutch assemblies really did NOT like to disengage very well into the 7,000 rpm area.
The fix for this is a Mcleod RST or Mantic twin disk, etc, the transmission itself worked well for me and held up great until I sold my coyote/mt82 car after about 80,000 miles. It still had the stock clutch too, in good working order except the intermittent 7k+ hard shifting issue. It was a 2013 GT brembo car with bolt-ons that dyno'd 430 rwhp. I autocrossed the fuck out of that car for two seasons, launched in 2nd and 3k+ rpm dumping the clutch on 315/30-18 BFG Rivals at least 150 times, did a little street racing, road trips, daily driver, the typical shit. But. The transmission was never an issue, it was the clutch at random times. This is a well known fact unless you got a lemon MT82 that slipped past QC from the factory and wasn't assembled correctly. There are MT82 cars running 10's both N/A and supercharged today. They tend to fail (break a gear itself) around the 750-850 rwhp area, and will obviously wear out the synchros before that from higher hp abuse over long periods of time if you do not address the clutch problem for drag racing or road course use. I wasn't doing consistent drag racing (at the strip) or road courses, so I never really had a need for a new clutch. But I did miss a hard 2-3 shift dozens of times because of this issue and the transmission was fine when I sold it. No undue noises & no particles when I changed the gear oil around 70k miles.
Yeah but when you pay that much for a car, you expect it to work from the box. That’s why I’m currently in a lemon law case for mine. I don’t understand how my BRZ had a better transmission than my GT.
Well I have a friend with a 2019 gt that managed to break 3rd gear 2 times now with just bolt ons. Granted he drives his car hard but still. I was cross shopping with the camaro ss and might have gotten the mustang if the transmission was better. I ended up picking up a 2018 Camaro 2SS which I have now but it would definitely be a harder choice now.
My 13 gt mt82 feels great still. I only have exhaust but I take it to the drag strip and it's gave me no issues knock on wood. 62k miles and going strong
The MT-82 has great gear ratios, GETRAG makes great transmissions. I’ve had 2 mustang GTs the factory shifter and pressure plate are the the flaming piles of shit.
I have a 13 boss with an MGW short throw. I have to double clutch my 1-2 above 6500, but the MT82 is mostly fine otherwise. Never had an issue going 2-3 or 3-4. Once my current clutch goes though I’ll go RST. I don’t really mind how prickly the trans is cuz it encourages very precise shifts- when I get in my friends’ manual cars i can shift them very smoothly at any rpm. MT82 ratios are also perfect for street driving. It’s shitty, but not that shitty IMO
Wow Matt, I am loving the vintage gold sub on jubilee
That is his seiko mod built by seikolab on Instagram. It is in a sub style skx007 bases case. Killer watch @Rylan Nelson
6:50 the wild coyote heard the mating call of the Mach 1 coyote.
I thought the " budget GT350 " was the Ecoboost high performance pkg with the added handling pkg and magnerides.
I'd have to agree about the Voodoo engine, it ended up as an engineering mistake because ford wanted the gt350 to still sound like a muscle car so they gave the Voodoo engine an unconventional flat-plane crank, which caused excessive vibrations which killed the crank-mounted oil pump due to harmonics. If you look at almost every flat-plane crank the crank pins are up-down-down-up, but in the Voodoo engine it's up-down-up-down. It's a shame and a waste of a good engine.. maybe someone down the line will correct this issue eventually but I doubt it, because it would require a custom crank and 4 custom cams lol.
Interesting to know re the crank
@@ahemgee9542 it's the only thing that makes sense considering that no one recommends spinning a Voodoo past 9,000 rpm when the regular coyote can push 10,000+ rpm, and the fact that they blow oil pumps and vibrate the filter loose oil filters, and most state a balancer on ANY Voodoo setup is a must. Unfortunately it also means the Voodoo is permanently crippled unless you swap to a coyote crank and cams.. now you know why it's the "Voodoo", because it took some serious Voodoo to make it work lol
@@Drake5153 Nice to finally come across someone else that understands why Vooblew is a mess. Non-conventional FPC is the culprit for the secondary vibration issues you mentioned above. Look at the Ford FPC crank (up-dn-up-dn) compared to conventional (up-dn-dn-up) FPC and you will notice the Ford FPC has two large counterweights at each end of the crank to try and mitigate excessive secondary vibrations from non-conventional FPC. Nice in theory but failed in application. The up coming C8 Z06 FPC uses conventional (up-dn-dn-up) FPC and will not have the issue Ford did.
my mt82 is over a decade old and it has been hit up time and time again with agressive driving every trip and several years of fri/sat drag racing not issue. Clutches though been through 3 or 4 lol
Recaro's in mustangs are rough on the back. Spent a lot of time in the development GT500's with Recaro's, had to sit with a 3" binder on the seat to give me some lumbar support. Otherwise I couldn't walk after a long drive lol
Seems like an amazing car. A little surprised at how slow the numbers are ( 0-60 and 1/4 mile) but I'm sure weight has a lot to do with it. Add a supercharger or twin turbos and it wouldn't be an issue anymore.
Is the PP2 Gearbox really that bad? I've been considering a PP2.
Am I better off with the PP1 and 10-Speed Auto??
Yowza that sled sounds good. 🔥
I need one. I have the 2004 Mach 1 in white and a 5 speed. My goal is to have all three Mach 1’s in my life time. This new Mach is absolutely amazing. No availability anywhere!
Always loved the Mach 1 packages for basically any Mustang year but I do wish for this one they would have at least tried making a Shaker to set it apart. I guess since most modern car intakes aren’t on top anymore its just not a practical application.
I think Dodge hit it out of the park with the Shaker package for the Challenger. Really wish Ford and Chevy followed suit.
Who makes those sunglasses? Love the matte finish!
11:39 you’re absolutely right. I’ve owned / daily drove a 2018 PP2 and owned / daily drove a 2019 GT350 and the PP2 was a better car around town. I get a ton of crap for saying that mostly by people who haven’t driven both let alone owned them. The down low torque of the coyote is much more suited to street driving. You can feel in the GT350 that it always wants to stretch its legs and be on a big track.
With the Tremec and coolers, this thing is great for what it is. I just wish it was about $5-$7k less.
I absolutely love this car, especially being a fan of the old muscle cars. But I cant imagine it replaces the GT350/R
It doesn't replace the R.
this car in amarica is peak sportcar value for money hands down
You guys should do some reviews from top of Stunt down Tuna Canyon to the PCH
After watching this video for the 3rd time I realized that “rear seat delete” actually looks like you could still set in it lol
that colour is amazing luv the MACH 1
I have a PP2 GT. The MT82 isn't great...
But never issues shifting it. It just makes funky noises. Like, often.
Ok so it being klunky and noise is normal? Mine shifts fine just makes a lot of mechanical sounding noises
@@richardlopez2908 Yep. Annoying, but the clunk shifting into first, occasional whine, etc is "normal".
Mine is noisy a bit too. I think it is because basically it's a race gearbox
6:21 ROFL, my guy. The oh boy really emphasizes the American in this video love it
Matt Maran feels personally attacked.
low key went into the comments to look for this haha
Nobody gonna talk about them seeing a coyote right after talking about the Coyote Engine?
Seen one of these the other day and man what a beauty 😍 i get the same fizz from that as lookin at a e46 m3
Hopefully it rides as good but shes a big ol girl, almost 4k lbs 😮
The only complaint with the comfort seats is there’s no love handle adjuster so you slide around
Great review. The tramlining is going to be more about the tires.
And shitty roads.
do you think instead of a blower it would be good to increase the displacement of the Coyote and different cams and exhaust?
boring it out wouldn't do too much and would cost $$$. better cams and headers would absolutely make a difference, however. forced induction is overkill most of the time unless you want to go *absurdly* fast.
I own a slightly modified 2012 GT 6sp and have never had 2nd or 3rd lock up or other shifting issue with the MT82. The problem is people shift it like they stole it and aren't very good drivers. I do shift a bit lower than redline, 5500-6000 RPM. While I acknowledge the Tremec in the GT 350 is better , we are also talking 8 to10 years later. Ford has done a great job improving each new version of the mustang. For the money the GT is hard to beat!
So is this essentially a gt350 but without that one off motor they put in it?
8:29 that intersection is weird. There's a stop sign on the through section of the "T" I notice a couple others that were the same.. 🤷🏻♂️
How many of these are supposed to be made? Tryna get one but dont know how much luck ill have
Ok those wheels are friggen sweet looking
Every manufacturer copying Alfa Romeo
Can the tramlining be corrected with aluminum steering bushings?
If you and Doug Demuro hadn't talked me into the GT350R, I would have bought one of these.
