The Ford Mustang Mach 1 is back after 17 years with some upgrades from the higher-performance Shelby GT350 and GT500.
The new Mach 1 is powered by a 480-hp 5.0-liter V-8 with a standard six-speed manual transmission from the Shelby GT350, although a 10-speed automatic with paddle shifters is available.
The Mach 1 will arrive at dealerships in spring 2021 with an expected starting price of around $50,000.

A real shockwave for the industry

Yawn.
And this is coming from a Mustang guy (have owned 5). But this flavor of the year stuff is getting ridiculous. Did Ford staff their marketing department with former Taco Bell marketing people?

But this flavor of the year stuff is getting ridiculous.
This is nothing new. The 00s had the Bul litt, the Mach 1, the Cobra, the Terminator Cobra , the Shelby GT500, the California Special the Sh elby GT- H , the Bullitt again.... And that didn’t really stop.
Besides, that is nothing compared to the late 60s and early 70s when they were making regional special editions. (California special, Twister special, High Country Special, Ski Country special, Cardinal edition... and probably a lot that I never knew existed.)
That said, I also am underwhelmed by this reveal. It doesn’t look that special, it doesn’t have any specs that suggest it was built to honor the legendary older models (which were more drag racing oriented), and the regular GT is already available with some incredible handling upgrades. In the end, this just looks like a sticker pack to let the execs feel good about calling an electric CUV a “Mach”.
At least the ‘03-04 Mach 1 gave something different to the experience.

Why is this called a Mach 1?

This should be a PP2 upgrade. The transmission makes it worth it.

And it’s still a lot slower than its name states

I was initially excited because I really liked the New Edge Mach 1's. Back then they took the DOHC from the Cobra, put a live axle behind it, added some 3.55 gears, a shaker, a few old school touches and built something more drag oriented for Mustang enthusiasts. I liked that about it. It’s mission was clear.
This is more akin to a PP2 or GT350 Lite. I dig the car, don’t get me wrong, but it’s more of a Boss 302 than a Mach 1.
I prefer cars that handle, but there’s a ton of old school Mustang guys that are geared more towards drag racing. The Mustang line has plenty of canyon carving options. This could have been the quarter horse.
I love what the S550 has brought to the table. It’s a world beater on the track. For the Mach 1 though? I wanted this.

1) What the hell are these wheels?
2) Where are the window louvres?
3) Why did I expect nothing and still end up disappointed?

I gotta admit, this doesn’t excite me as much as it should. I’m still upset about the Mach-E and it’s all I can think about when I hear “Mach” now.
