Look at Ford Europe and their metric power figures:


Maybe I'm nitpicking and it's definitely not just Ford that does it, but I hate how they advertise the 0-100 at 4.4* sec with the test driver clearly rowing gears, then in tiny font at the bottom of the final few frames, it's actually 4.8 sec for the manual.

Other than that little critique on the commercial, it looks like a nice package.

I like the wheels on the Euro Mach 1 much better than those in the second Steeda video. I know they mimic previous Mach 1s but they just look dated. Whereas the actual car doesn't look dated. I really like it. A LOT!!! 12.0 @ 117 with a stock Mach 1 is impressive.

Same times a new normal GT with a 10R80 runs really.

Wheels in the first video are just one of the optional sets. Can get them here as well.

True. The Mach 1 has 20 additional hp, but on paper it is also 195 lbs. heavier than a 2020 GT. It gets aerodynamic elements, cooling upgrades, and other performance hardware from the GT-350 and GT-500.

Did I see cloth seats? I mean I guess they may have ordered them, but in this day and age for the price of the Mach 1 for it not to have leather standard seems crazy. For around 60K I would have thought there would more to make it worth over a GT premium.

After seeing these photos of the new Mach 1, I applaud Ford designers for going with that hood design vs. a more pronounced shaker scoop. I really like the overall look.

The shaker hood would have been a nice touch. SMH
I agree. While bringing my 11yr old son (diehard car guy) to the doctor a few weeks ago, we drove past a white one at the dealer near the office. Stopped and looked at it and thought the same thing. Is it even a Mach without it? Hey they make an electric Mustang SUV now so who knows?

Not all Machs had shaker hoods. Like the '71-'73 Mach 1. So the new one definitely IS a Mach. I agree, though, that the shaker hood is more identifiable as a Mach 1. Before the launch, I heavily favored a shaker hood on the new Mach 1. But after seeing it, IMO the flat hood vent design looks better with the design of the car.
