I know that these are just hitting the show room floors, but why are we not seeing any reviews, or performance numbers for these yet?

I've yet to see one in the wild. I really like the front end. That metallic flat gray Pony is a great touch!

I found one locally at a dealer. I’ll say that it’s lot better looking in person than I thought it would be and I’m surprised there’s not that much said about it. $60k is a little off-putting though.

I see several on eBay but it seems none of them have the handling package. But something rather interesting, that I’m still searching for info on, is I see several with the PP2 wheels on them. I was under the impression it was the base Mach 1 wheels and Handling package wheels only on the cars.


Pick your poison.

I’m confused in that as well. This one had the Fighter Jet Grey paint scheme and sporting the PP2 wheels with 255’s up front and 275’s out back. I prefer the base MACH 1 wheels for sure. Good looking car in person, I’m just not ready to trade in my ‘11 GT500 for one.

The first HP Mach that will be for sale to the public ran down the line earlier this month. So at this point nobody has a HP Mach. I know the gentleman getting it so when he does I'll post up some shots. Just an FYI, you can actually order a RSD but if you did it would have bumped your order to a later date due to whatever commodity issue Ford claims to be having.

Here's the car...

I ordered one in Fighter Jet Grey equipped with the Mach 1 handling Package that has the 305/30R19 and 315/30R19 tires but my wheels are supposed to look different than the wheels in these pics. The pictured wheels look like the wheels on my non R GT350. Mine is scheduled to be delivered 4/18.
I wonder why this car does doesn't have the stripes? As i understand from the order forms you cannot order one without them.

So the sticker and the photos of the car are one and the same car, right? If that's true, how come the sticker shows it has hood and side stripes but neither are shown on the car? Or were these photos of the car before the stripes were applied?

First off, if I posted it, it's true.:)

Yes, the photos were before the stripes were applied. Of interest is that Ford used the temporary wheels/tires that the GT350R cars used to use when rolling down the line and adds the Cup2's/bird basket wheels in the mod shop. The paint blotched wheels and tires then go back to the line for reuse on the next HP cars to come down the line. Same thing happens to CFTP GT500's, albeit with a 20" Base wheel.

Probably because it's a boring non event ass car.
I dont think it can do anything a base model 10spd GT could.
Feels like such a half measure from the blue oval.

So what would a whole measure car from the Blue Oval have been and at what price point?
