2021 Mustang Mach 1 vs GT Performance Pack | Comparison
Vložit
- čas přidán 8. 07. 2024
- Today I compare a 2021 Ford Mustang Mach 1 in Grabber Yellow to a 2021 Ford Mustang GT Premium Performance Pack! A fully loaded GT can get very close to Mach 1 pricing so it makes you wonder if you should go Mach 1 instead. I show the differences and give my reasons to help aide that decision!
-Mach 1 (Grabber Yellow)
MSRP: $57,105 ($58,700 with 10-Speed)
-GT Performance Pack (Antimatter Blue)
MSRP: $56,980 ($56,585 w/o Security Package)
*The difference is around $3,100 give or take for the same spec

The mach 1 is simply beautiful, especially with the handling package. It looks incredible with the GT500 wing, and that massive front splitter. There was a orange mach 1 with the handling pack at my local Ford dealership's showroom when I went in for an oil change three months ago. I think it was a customer build who didn't want it, and was being sold for $65k. Beautiful car, but not worth getting if you plan on modifying your Mustang. I bought a brand new 2020 GT Premium PP1 last year in velocity blue for $50,960. It has a lot of options, including the 400A package with the digital gauge cluster and Michelin pilot sport 4s tires; minus the magnaride suspension, and B&O sound system. The first thing I did to it was install Corsa Extreme catback exhaust with the active valve system. It was worth the $2,300 price tag a thousand times over. The car just sounds ridiculously good now, and the tips look similar to the mach 1's as well. I can even add a roush supercharger + cold air intake down the road, and it will be the same, if not less than the mach 1 I saw at the dealer. So all in all, for collection purposes, the mach 1 is a good addition. For fun, I'd go with a PP1 anyday.
Thanks for sharing!
Imagine the V8 with Supercharge...
Excellent reasoning.
Mach 1 for me. Not much price difference. Tremec transmission is the selling point for me.
That tremec is nice!
Same here as well I don’t get the people buying the Mach 1 with the a10 🤦♂️
At most dealers the Mach1 is marked up 5k or more just because it’s a Mach 1.
10 speed is faster
How do I add sound system if I order
This video was very helpful, I was asking myself this very question prior to watching your video. Thank you
So glad I could help!
Appreciate the direct comparison.
You’re welcome!
great show and very well explained thank you
You’re welcome!
Mach 1 for me as well, gearbox did it for me as well..... quite expensive for us in Australia as numbers are very limited, but I bought one anyway...very excited!!!!
Congratulations!
How is it
Yup nailed it! Mach 1 makes sense if you want the manual.
Not interested if I can't get Leather Seats and 20" Wheels...... *shrug*
I've ordered the GT Premium
10spd with GT is the better deal for sure.
Where is the Mach 1 scoop tho? Only reason why I opted for the gt
They both looks good
I agree!
Yeah ...Ever since I saw the prototype version other than the looks, name I was under whelmed. Like it should be a bit closer to the GT 350 than a full spec GT. Maybe there might be an after-market grill to add to the stripes you could get wrapped on any mustang. Or the spoiler/wheels which there are aftermarket versions of the Shelbies already. Meaning there would be no real reason to get one other than for speical edition sake.
Thanks for the comparison, your reasoning is sound(practical).
You’re welcome!
In the US, the MSRP difference between a comparable 2021 GT Premium 301A/401A PP1 MR vs Mach 1 600A/700A is around $5-6k USD. Casual buyers aren't used to seeing the price of a fully loaded GT PP1 MR and don't realize how much they cost for comparison. The Mach 1 is definitely not overpriced for what you get but only IF you can find a dealer willing to discount it a few thousand since you would be getting a similar discount on a GT.
Well said
The Mach 1 is where the 5.0 shines. Same displacement but it’s tuned a bit differently
I drove a regular GT w/performance pack and it blew my mind so you can still have loads of fun and spend $12k-$13k less money. (That's what I ordered too).
Ngl really good vid
is the Mach1 on quiet mode the same as the normal GT?
I need to know about the quiet mode as the police wouldn't come to me in some areas in my country because of the loudness.
Quiet mode is very tame. The GT w/ Active Exhaust sounds very similar to the Mach 1
Great video, just wish the cars had been washed. Antimatter Blue is absolutely beautiful when washed and shining
Great colors!
The reason the pp1 doesn’t have hollowed out bumper vents and the ecoboost does is ford claims it helps the aero more on the pp1.
Oh okay, I thought so. Thanks for sharing that with me!
My problem with the GT is that I really hate its front bumper with the triangles in the corners.👍
Mach 1 for you!
I am in 100% agreement. The angle of the 'triangle' doesn't match anything else on the car. It was such a bad design decision for the refresh IMO. Chevrolet did the same thing with the Camaro.
Base GT change the Exhaust and still no more than 42k cost.
That’s a smart way to go!
"ON MY ECOBOOST" lol nice
EcoBeast*
Im tryna get a gt pp, should I just wait for this summer, when the s650 is set to release. Maybe the price may go down?
Not sure. Just buy whenever you’re ready
A big difference that matters quite a bit is the Mach 1 comes with the extra coolers/radiators/heat exchangers.
Plus the trans in the M1 is Better.
What intercooler is in front of the driver side front wheel on the Mach 1?
Not sure. I know it has a trans, oil, and diff cooler though.
I would get the base model GT, 10-Speed, and the 301A package for the toggleable drive modes. And that's it. Right around 40K
That’s actually spec’ed just like the GT I was going to get before getting my Ecoboost. Everything you need and nothing extra!
That's what I have with the black accent package. $34k w/Z-plan.
Nice!
@@tri3pleagent
Cool. And the Black accent package gets you wider rims and tires :)
GT500 Front end takes the cake... especially the headlights are good
I actually prefer the 18+ headlights and the fact that they’re LED. I do love the GT500 front end though!
@@JVette01 I mean yeah the LED are nice but I had a 2018 model and it looks like a sad shark or more like a Ford Fusion.. also the 2015-2017 are xenon which are technically brighter..
LED’s are brighter in my experience. Also, the color is more white. Preferring the 15-17 headlights is not an unpopular opinion though! Lots of people like the old ones better. For me, the 18+ looks so much more modern. If anything, the 15-17 looks more like a fusion IMO 😂
For daily driving might as well get the regular gt manual or not the price difference is crazy
I agree if money is a concern if not then mach 1 is just a best GT tbh
I'd also get the uprated wheels and tires on the Mach1
Good idea!
I’m getting my GT in this Antimatter Blue colour best best aggressive looking colour I do not regret my decision one single bit dark blue is king 👑
It’s a cool color! Congrats!
@@JVette01 Thanks bro only I’m from the other side of the world 🌎 Australia my 2021 Mustang GT will be in RHD and we pay much more for these beasts there starting prices are from 75K + have a great day or evening man 👍🏼👍🏼
Wow that’s a lot! You’ll enjoy every bit of that car though 😎 Take care.
@@JVette01 Thanks 😊
I just ordered a 2021 Mach 1 in velocity blue with the 10 speed auto and elite package and it was 58,860. I think its insane how much a GT PP cost now.
It really is
@@JVette01 With the avg price of a new car (any car) at $37k, relatively speaking you're getting close to a supercar for the $ (my GT PP with a few extra options like Adaptive Exhaust and MagneRide topped out at $47,300. Not too horrible IMO).
Yeah that’s not bad, even in fully loaded form it’s a good value
60k for an upgraded GT is insane to me. I remember when the 2007 GT500 came out and it was 70K to buy one. 2 years later you could get them in the low 30s. I'd drive the wheels off of it, because that's too much money to let it sit.
I’m drooling. Tell us how it’s been for the year.
Great video, it seems a fully loaded GT is nearly at the price of a Mach 1
It’s close!
Lol no it's not.
JCTiggs. It is surprisingly. If you get the premium gt, pp, 401a, magnaride the gt is right up there within a thousand or two unless you add things like the handling or appearance package to the Mach 1 to further drive up the price.
My grandpa has a 1969 red Mach 1 with black stripes 390 v8 numbers matching engine and trans. All original unrestored Colorado car no rust. 40,000 original miles.
Nice car!
@@JVette01 It definitely is, turns a lot of heads.
The 2021 - 2023 Mach 1 is a much better overall investment and Mustang than the PP1 performance pack. The Tremec transmission and multiple radiator coolers, graphics and standard Magnaride suspension is 💯🔥🔥
Big Merc.....exactly. I agree with your main points. Many have said that the Mach1s existence is justified solely by the Tremec 6-speed off the Shelby GT350! Ya Hoo....thats the one I got.
The antimatter blue is so sexy… you basically get black and blue at the same time.
Yes! I also like that it’s a metallic instead of the flat black you would get if you bought a black mustang.
fast and furious predicted the future with these 10 speed transmissions lol
They have semi truck 13-speeds.
@@JVette01 lol fr tho
I was or is in your shoes my first Mustang I bought a EcoBoost Ford Mustang now I am debating which one should I get should I get the mudtang GT. Or the 2020 Mach 1 I was trying to see which is better but due to the case that you said the gas mileage is a little bit worse. In the Mach One I think I might just go ahead and go with the American Ford Mustang 2020 GT it's a nice built American Standard sports car although I do like the mach one because it has the extra coolers and coolants but due to the fact that it's burning more gas mileage it kind of has me going towards the American built Mustang GT like I said I have a Ford Mustang EcoBoost 2017 now I'm ready to get something better and faster✌✌
Can’t go wrong with either!
*Nice video man,I go with Mach1 just because of the transmission,to me rest it’s all bs,big spoiler,front lip and wider ugly wheels $10-15k more for that I don’t do track anyway*
Yeah the Mach 1 trans is nice
Would the 0-60 differ between the manual or automatic? Also would the reliability change between the two? What would you choose?
Manual in the Mach 1 is MUCH better than a normal GT. The Auto is the same for both. Reliability has been iffy with the GT manual, and the automatic has been ok, some people just don’t like the quirky characteristics.
For those two factors I'd go for the GT with 10 speed.
GREAT VEDIO 🎥 YOU BROKE IT DOWN I SUBSCRIBED TO YOUR CHANNEl
Thanks!
That 2020 GT is $3k more than my 2020 Bullitt! I'll take my Bullitt anyday over a run of the mill GT! I am digging the Mach 1 though, especially due to the Tremec.
Yeah it’s crazy how high they can get in price when optioned out. I agree the tremec is a really good trans!
I haven't had any issues with the MT-82 yet but I've heard of many. Could you see a major improvement from the MT-82 to the Tremec?
I’m gonna be completely honest, not really. But I need to get more driving in on the tremec to have an accurate opinion. I know that the 2018+ MT-82’s have longer gear ratios than the 2011-17, which has ratios similar to the tremec. Now that’s something you’d notice (especially at WOT), but I didn’t get to test that obviously haha.
Too bad Ford didn’t put the Tremec in the Bullitt.
I know. That's the Bullitt's only weakness IMO.
I LOVE THE gt bETTER
copped a 2018 GT PP1 manual transmission for 32k out the door brand new. All I've done is throw a full cat back exhaust on it. Best car I've ever owned. Bang for buck!
Nice car!
Jesus, here in California that would run u the MSRP of a brand new 2021 premium package GT
Whats the s for if you have sport mode don't really get it . Let's say if you put it on sport plus mode and put it on s does that make the response faster instead leaving it in drive meaning leave it in d and sport mode
The simplest way to explain it is-
Drive Mode Sport: Sport Steering, Suspension, Exhaust, and Transmission
S on shifter: Sport shifting, manual mode activated by paddles
@@JVette01 but you can put the shifter on s and drive auto. Does it make a difference if your in spots mode either have shifter in d or s is my question
No
@@umairejaz6665 If you have it in D on the shifter, you can use the paddles to shift manually but it will switch back to automatic after a few seconds of you not shifting. If you put it in S on the shifter you can still drive it as an automatic... but if you use the paddles it will *not* shift back. Also, S gives you faster shifts that D in general, when you're in normal mode. (If you're in Sport+, that's not a factor for S vs D, but the paddle differences are.) If you're going to just drive in automatic, the S-vs-D thing is pointless on the 20xA / 40xA cars, which come with the row of drive switches- the drive mode switch will change transmission, exhaust, throttle, steering, and magneride with one control. On the 10xA / 30xA cars that do *not* have those, you'll need to change everything separately- steering mode switch on the dash, transmission from D to S, and exhaust / magneride with the steering wheel controls. (Though I'm not sure whether you can get the active exhaust or magneride on those cars in the first place.)
$ 57,000 for a GT Performance pack ? Prices are just out of this world. I bought a brand new fully loaded Mustang GT 1988 for $14,500. Adjusted for inflation, $14,000 in 1988 is equal to $31,600 in 2021.
Yeah cars have gone up past inflation but they’re way better now than they’ve ever been.
Still not worth 57,000
Fair enough, but where else are you going to get this nice of a car with this performance for less? Camaro/Mustang/Challenger are still decent values even in their loaded out trims imo. Cars are just expensive these days.
People just buy used, no money for Ford in a used car
I guess
Id probably get a gt or a used bullitt
If youre looking to race every one buy the GT, if you want longer term mid range value in the future, .get the Mach 1.
Here is the difference. Cooling Cooling Cooling. The GT is not a track car because their weakness is transmission and differential cooling. Plus the Mach1 has a unique flavor.
True!
I realize this is a year ago but for anyone watching this more recently, the Mach 1 comes with the Tremec 6 speed manual rather than the chinese pos the GT comes with. Worth its weight in gold. If you are specing your GT close to Mach 1 prices the transmission alone is worth it.
Disregard if you are going auto.
You’re absolutely right!
I wonder if Ford downgraded the standard tires on GT-Performance-Package-equipped Mustangs so they can claim that one of the reasons for the price difference is because the Mach 1 comes standard with better tires . . .
That sounds like something they’d do lmao.
The Michelin pilot 4s are much better, definitely a downgrade, most auto enthusiasts know this and that is who buys the performance packs, definitely a stupid marketing move
How long does it take from 0-60mph and in the 1/4 mile? MACH 1
It depends with the manual or auto.
@@JVette01 auto
Auto would probably do about a 4.0 0-60 and 12.0 1/4 @ 118. There are so many variables involved though like traction, temperature, driver skills, etc. It would just be slightly faster than a normal GT
@@JVette01 Do you think it is worth switching from the 2016 GT to Mach 1?
The Mach 1 is really nice, but so are other 2021 Mustang GT’s. I really like the looks and the tremec manual, but I’d just get a normal GT because it will most likely be discounted much more than the Mach 1. If you can easily afford it and don’t mind the price, the Mach 1 is a great car.
We get ripped off so hard in Australia. $73k for a GT $83k for a Mach 1. $10,000 difference what a joke! But we couldn't even get the GT 350 here and a GT 500 would set you back $250,000 😲 what's going on there haha
Wow haha
GT PP unless someone feels strong about Mach 1 heritage
Agreed.
@@JVette01 Save some more $ too by skipping the Premium.
PP1 for me.
The GT performance pack is now $6500 AND they replaced the Michelin 4S tires with the crappy Pirelli's. Wtf is Ford thinking here? Not too long ago it was $4000 and it started as a reasonable $2500 option on the 2015+ GT's. Nothing has changed on the package, even comes with the same wheels 7+ years and counting 🙄
I know… 4K was somewhat reasonable
Well in my mind, not too long ago a Mustang GT was $22k off the lot
All good till the dealer slaps that market adjust price tag on it.
Mach 1 if the dealers stop charging 10K over MSRP. Otherwise a GT and save 16 17K
You can compare Mach1 and Bullitt
We don’t have any bullitts. If we did, I’d try to make that happen!
I picked up a new 2020 GT PP1 fully loaded for 47K. The Mach 1 is nice, but dealers aren't going to let them go without a dealer mark up, while they will deal on the GTs. All I need is the intake and tune on the Mach 1 and I'll be good.
Good point!
So you got the premium 401a pp1 for 47? What state?
I paid $40k for a brand new premium, pp1 401a 2019
You got me fucked up. 56kk !!???? When is the market going to get better man. All these car prices are getting jacked up.
Mach 1!!!!
You can't go wrong withe either car. All of these Mustangs are budget super cars.
But no technically comparison? Mach 1 got a 75% better cooling system in general, a second oil cooler, throttle and the intake manifold of the gt350 and a better aerodynamic under the car. And the Mach1 miss a PDC behind, only has the camera and the GT camera and PDC.
Thanks for sharing
Gee, look at that. A Ford dealer with good size inventory, a month ago. Bet that lot is near empty now.
You are 100% correct.
I'd be fine with just getting the eco boost premium lol still 330 hp and they look the same
It looks similar to the GT.. but in my opinion, the EcoBoost HPP (the one with 330hp) no longer has the value proposition over a GT because it’s very close to GT pricing. I’m glad they have a model for everyone though.
@@JVette01 I agree if you're willing to pay for the HPP ecoboost might as well get a Premium GT or a PP1 GT.
@@JVette01 I found a 2018 mustang ecoboost premium for $19000 with 9000 miles on it. I can't find a 2018 gt premium for less then 27k. But I would like to have the GT instead. But it has to be premium
GT’s just simply cost more new and used.. The EB you’re looking at I’m assuming is the regular one, not the HPP?
@@JVette01 oh yeah, you're right. It's just the normal eb premium, without the hpp. I want a 2019 GT fully upgraded, but they're all over like 45k 😭 you would think the price would depreciate a little more than that smh. I might just have to get the 401A package and call it a day cause I think the hpp is like 6k by itself
GT PP1 looks better to me. I appreciate the heritage of the mach 1 but those rims are ugly.
Agreed, I like the $395 upgrade wheel option.
It has more horsepower Mach 1 480hp, I bet just a bit more toque I’m not sure. But yes more more more gas consumption
The torque is the same. I’m assuming the MPG loss is from the additional coolers but I’m not sure.
Hate those Recaro seats. They would only work if you are short, otherwise your head is on the ceiling.
😂
Honestly same, and it’s about $1,000 cheaper with the regular leather ones
I know Vegas when I see it lol
😂😂
I’m in 2022 the future. GT performance pack is now $7300
It’s 6700 now.. yikes
Ask the sales dept if you can get the Mach 1 with X plan. So for $56K GT PP, M240i, or buy my EB PP at the end of the lease for $19K?
You can call and ask. I’m not a salesman so I don’t know
I sold my 18gt pp2 for 30k to get the 21gt fully loaded
Congrats!
0-60?
They’re pretty much the same. Maybe 0.1 of a second advantage to the Mach 1. Just look up the bullitt times.
@@JVette01 The bullitt wasn't offered in the 10speed or at least I dont remember it being offered. I was wondering about auto's time.
The Mustang GT 10-Speed usually does around a 12.1 1/4 @ 118. Is assume the Mach 1 would (maybe) crack into the 11’s @ around 119-120mph.
When is Ford going to get the mustang on equal ground with the camaro and challenger, power wise
Umm... the Mustang GT has 460 and Mach 1 has 480? The Challenger has 485 but the Camaro is at 455.
@@JVette01 it must then be the hellcats and zl1,I have seen and they cost a lot more
Yeah those compete with the Mustang GT500 which has 760 horsepower
@@kirkmonigold3099 camaro ZL1 has 650 hp. Hellcat has 707. Mustang gt500 has 760. Do you live under a rock ?
Used GT350 > Mach 1. Not even close. A GT350 is the only S550 I'd buy. The GT, Bullitt and Mach 1 are the same thing with tiny differences.
Fair enough!
MANUAL mach 1.
Worse gas mileage also probably tied to 20 additional hp on the Mach.
Pirellis lol
The fuk is that the gt looks more meaner then the Mach 1 that makes no sense. Literally about 10k more in 2022 this is y I am leaning more toward the Camaro 2SS. That shit look like a monster/demon.
Still gt
Should have cleaned the cars first lol
This is like deciding between blonde and black girls.. lol
TREMEC = Mach 1
Yes it does
Remove the “saboteur mole” from Ford Corporation. There is a mole (or moles) at Ford corporation overseeing the mustang design and disallowing the “mustang flag” to be raised high as the “American original muscle car king”. Remove those infiltrated moles at Ford who are paid off by Chevy and Dodge. Why is Chevy making ZL1s and Dodge making “demons” at high output while Ford seems to “always lag behind”. Something does not add up or align here folks. Something doesn’t jive. No sunroof or T Tops on Ford Mustangs. But they allow this with Chevy and Dodge? Hmmm 🧐? Something does not add up here folks. Bring out the moles at Ford and hang them at the gallows.
Automatic Mach 1's make no sense!
they make dollars!
My 2021 Mustang GT premium was a big lemon. I could live with the cheap plastic interior and glitchy electronics but the 6 speed manual transmission was just garbage! I'm not the only one who thinks so, look at the class action that has been launched against Ford. Fortunately I was able to sell it and buy a real car from another manufacturer. It's no wonder Ford stopped building cars...I'll never buy another Ford...EVER!
If you did your research, you would’ve known that the MT-82 does have the best track record. Either get the automatic, or get the Mach 1 with the Tremec manual.
Too much money to spend on a car that’s going to sound like a typewriter
Lmao
Grab her yellow? Triggered. Lol jk jk
Pp1
There's no 1 and 2 any more with the PP. (Just the PP).
Not even a question...All Alpha Chad's already have the Mach 1. You virgins have the lesser, as you always will...
