Buh Bye V6 ...

Congrats Donna! I was wondering when the bug was finally going to take over. Is it a 5-speed or auto? Beautiful car, add to that I keep on getting the feeling that my own GT is getting worn (but still great) and I am very prone to get the "new bug" myself. Enjoy, sam

Congrats to you!! One heluva upgrade, performance-wise!

IMO, the Mach is the best looking 'Stang out there right now, good choice.

How's it drive with the automatic? The 1-2 on the video sounded pretty solid. __

Congrats, Donna! It looks pretty good in red.

Sam-

I couldn't beat the deal. The Ford dealer hired me on full time and made me Assistant Manger of the BDC. Once I was full time, I qualified for A plan pricing, which took the car from sticker (almost $31k) to A Plan (About $26500). Then I got the $3000 Ford rebate, a $500 A plan bonus cash rebate, and customer loyalty cash for $1000 ... That left me right about $22k. They gave me $10k for the V6 (Damn, I was shocked cuz KBB on it in "excellent" condition was only $7450), so it more than paid it off. Being I had a check in hand from my loan company, all I had to do was work the numbers to my liking, write out the check, and drive off LOL We only had an Azure Blue on the lot, so I DT'd one in for myself, and actually got my dad to take me to NC to pick up my new car, and drive it back. What a fun "test drive" that was back down through the mountains! This car is so much fun. Hands down, kills the GT for performance. I'll have more pics as I get them on line :-)

Nice looking ride Donna! If it was me, it wouldn't have taken me quite so long to make my decision. I love the body lines of the Mach 1. They remind me a little of my old 66 FB I had up until the late 70's. Also a friend of mine has 2 70 Mach 1's. One, which is his drag car.

So how many miles were on it when you picked it up? I see you also know how to break it in. I was always told to drive it the way you intend to drive it right off the show room floor.

Congrats on the primo ride. Not only do you get serious V-8 power, but an outstanding suspension package as well, something that took me a LONG time to get right on my own GT. Even with the AOD, a V-8 powered Mustang is always a hoot to drive.

Yep, the shaker wards off most revving ricers, but the V6 Pony's on the side seemed odd. I guess because its not really a GT or a Cobra, that was a safe badge for them to use. I've heard some others question it too, but the Mach 1 badge on the back is really cool, but hard to wax around LOL

Hi Gary! It had 37 miles on it when I got to the dealer that my dealership purchased it from. After the trip back, it officially had 74 miles on it at the time of the sale.

I love it. I was out cruising tonight, because its finally cooling off, and the Flowmasters were just purring.

Good girl. ;-)

The GT's I was looking at were Redfire w/ black top and Sonic Blue w/

:-) Red is nice and turns alot of heads, something I enjoy and surely you will as well. However, you will find yourself washing a red car more often than a white one. ;-)

Wow, beautiful Mach! Best of luck with it!

I also had the same debate, whether to get a Mach 1 or GT vert... and I went with the vert because I thought it might be neat to try a vert... never had a vert before. I'm also retiring my motorcycle now so I figured the vert would help to fill that void. But I am getting a bit worried that I may not be satisfied with the performance of the GT, especially after stepping out of an old 455 Trans Am which was a monster.

So you test drove both the GT and Mach 1? My guess is that the Mach 1 has a big power advantage in the higher rpm range, but how about in the lower range? If indeed you have driven both the GT and Mach 1 and compared, I'd be very interested in hearing more details about the difference in power across the entire rpm range. When just tooling around on the street in the

Boy, now if they only made a Mach 1 convertible!!!

Best wishes with your new car!

How do you like the sound of your new V8 compared to the 6?
