IMSA-XJR9 Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 I watched that earlier this week, and enjoyed it! Looking forward to seeing the new Mach 1 in person! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolScoop Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 (edited) Performance wise it's more than worthy to be a Mach 1... but in my 'unbiased opinion' it still needs a hole in the hood (at least as an option) to earn the name: Edited December 19, 2020 by CoolScoop 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IMSA-XJR9 Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 Agreed! Though I think 71-73 NACA ducts would have worked better given the large hood surface!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always wanted a '69 or '70 Mach 1 since high school.... so needless to say I was one of the first to order one when the '03s were announced! The '21 Mach 1 is awesome but it's not a heritage car like the '03-'04 models. There should at least be on option package with all matte black striping, wing type spoiler, comfort-weave leather seats, and especially a shaker hood scoop thats die cast with the original dies!

Twin Turbo Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 The '03/'04 was the ONLY Mach 1 with a standard shaker. It was either only optional, or not available on all other model years. Besides, with this Mach 1 going global, there's no way it would have passed the pedestrian impact laws (EU Mustangs have an "active" hood that deploys upwards with the use of small explosives in the event of a pedestrian impact). Besides, in trying to make it functional, it would likely have reduced performance, not increased it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could have done more than raiding varius part bins and adding a cue ball. Some of us care far more about style and heritage than all out performance... at car cruises the shaker always draws massive attention. The difference for those like me, who have been waiting 18 long years for an updated Mach 1, is must have versus not interested... and disappointment. If I traded my '03 for a '21 I would be Scoopless instead of CoolScoop, LOL.. both on forums and at car cruises. But on the bright side I can start saving for a must have Bronco now instead!
