Last time I was on here, I made a thread showing my 04 Mach 1 with 23k miles. It had few aftermarket exterior pieces, Corbeau seats and harnesses, full exhaust, cams. Car made 373/355. I was driving it home after I picked it up in pouring rain and hydroplaned off the interstate. I was on Nitto 555rs. Yeah definitely regret getting drag radials out on a day like that. First time I had even let the car see rain.

Wow, already has a perfect stance. Looks good...but damnit, it sucks to see a Mach bite the dust. Makes me paranoid about mine.

The 5.0 looks great with those wheels. Unfortunate circumstance, but looks like a nice upgrade to me!

Nice GT and the wheels show off the car.What do the back lights look like on the 14's? Thought I saw one the other day that looked like led's around the light.

So I take it the true forged rims made it thru the accident unhurt?? That's great to here man looks great on the 5.0.... Best part is your new stock 5.0 stock makes damn near if not as much as the modded Mach... Time for exhaust,off rd x, intake and AED tune!!!

Sucks to see a nice low mileage Mach die like that. Sounds like it was a sweet car. The new car looks great though and I'm sure it's a lot more fun/comfortable to drive.

Actually different wheels. The wheels on the Mach were SSR GT3 reps. I just have a Roush axleback, barton short throw and 2 post bracket for now. Tryin to not void the waranty yet.
Looks damn good Damon, I'm ready to shoot that thing soon!
Thanks man! sounds good.

You got it.

Very nice! Looks perfect, now you just need to mod it.

Has a few mods for now. Going to try and keep the warranty intact for awhile

Doesn't look totaled.
We couldnt believe it was totaled. It needed a new rear end. I snapped an axle when I hit. There wasnt much wrong with the car. They stopped adding up the damages at 16k though.
