2024 Ford Mustang Mach 1 Potentially Spotted Testing With Current Model

[StangGang93]

Well for one, these test cars are a parts bin build...meaning they use any available part from the model to make it worth. So it could be wearing Ecoboost wheels and Mach1 exhaust if that's all they had available. Also, newer models tend to have the old models high end upgrades as standard. So it very well could be that a standard model S650 GT would sport the S550 Mach1 exhaust.

It’s a s650 GT, they’re making sure the driving experience of the s650 GT is differentiated from the Mach 1!

Please no Mach 1 anymore or even a Boss. Please make a Shelby model or a Cobra model down the road. I hope this is just a performance oriented GT.

I've had enough of the Shelby name.

Bring back the COBRA.

pedal extender...

repent and banish such apostacy from thine soul.

lol.

At this point I'm just going to be patient and wait for the S650s. I'm really in no rush to get a GT since I have my EcoBoost and am enjoying it as it is. It'll be about three more years until it's fully paid off, no interest.

Any chance the final top trim Mustang doesn't use a legacy name like Shelby/Boss/Mach/Cobra? Maybe an EXTERMINATOR :angry: as the potential farewell to the V8s? Or if someone's gotta use marketing to sell, perhaps the VOODOO PREDATOR?

...I need to go to bed and sleep now.

I'd totally be fine with Cobra! And as a matter, we'd probably have a better chance at getting one. But who knows, just no freakin Mach or Boss. Hate those names.

The Mach 1 name has been sullied. I say this as the owner of a '71 Mach 1. So that's right out also.

I'd be down for Magneride being available outside of Performance Packages, especially if it came with square tire setups as opposed to the current staggered exclusivity.

I personally have always liked the looks of the Mustang II personally... then again I'm also one who loves the Mach E. So far not a single gen that I truly hate.. except for the first half of the foxbody generation.

ha! My first car was a ‘77 “fastback” (ok… hatchback…) Mustang 2 With the 302. Bought it used from an older friend in the 90s. He had bought it brand new. It was a great first car. But the engine was sntrangled to death with the 70’s version of emissions controls. A cam, intake, carb, and custom dual exhaust later and the car lit up. Plus it sounded amazing. I wasn’t a fan of its looks, but it had character and it was light and fast for so little work. My brothers 440 challenger couldn’t keep up. I missed that car when I sold it - until I bought an’03 Cobra - My favorite car to this day.

I'll be picking up my 22 here soon. Also have a 71 in the garage ( really wanted a '21 to park next to the '71). I think they could've done better on this latest generation to keep with the name, this new car is more a Boss than a Mach imo.

But I guess they went with Mach 1 to try and recover some from the disaster that was naming the Mach E a Mach and a Mustang. I like the ECUV, just do not care for the name. Thunderbolt or something would've been more fitting.

Just wondering what it is exactly in your opinion that makes the new generation more of a Boss than a Mach 1?

Disaster is a strong word for a vehicle that hit its sales goals with ease and got rave reviews both as a car and in comparison to its competitors. I know we enthusiasts had to let our ego's heal, but the other 98% of people in the world were un-phased by the name. If anything I'd be willing to bet if they'd named it anything else, it probably wouldn't have been a sales flop that consumers never would have noticed.

I've gotten alot of feedback from folks I know who are unhappy with the name, and they are not car folk. nice CUV, but should have had a diff name.
