There's a $20,000 price difference between the Ford Mustang Mach 1 and the Ford Mustang GT. So, is the price difference worth it?
In-house professional race driver Chris Atkinson hits the race track to set some lap times and figure out whether it's worth investing more money into the Mach 1 for a better lap time.
Let us know what you think and whether you'd spend the extra cash!

Let's not forget the addiotinal oil cooler, transmission cooler, differential cooler and air to brakes duct, that will help with endurance. GT goes into limp mode after 2-3 laps. More reliable transmission has a cost of its own. Supercharger won't help you much in technical curcuits with short straights either. Weird price difference you got there, the difference between GT PP1 with Magneride and active exhaust is 3.5k USD (5k AUD) in the USA. And here in Europe I payed 14k USD (19k AUD) more for the Mach 1 over GT PP1 (without a hesitation I might add) :)

As a semi daily and weekend car, the FN GT has impressed me hugely. Its fun to drive, sounds great and the build quality is better than I thought it would be.

I also do not have the handling package (a $3500USD upgrade) but it would have been cool in this video to see the difference between the Mustang GT and Mach 1 with the handling package. I can say from first hand experience this car is a ton of fun on the track. I was surprised by how well the traction management system kept everything in line even in Track Mode.

There is a lot of people commented from the US. FYI this is an Australian video. We dont have the pleasure/ nor the luxury of parts for these cars. Everything is imported. The 20k upgraded MACH1 is in Australian Dollars (14K US) There is 3 variants in this country GT Bullet and a handful of MACH only 700 will be brought to this country. They have landed and no more are coming. FYI, for us to import the added parts for a standard GT, it would probably cost well over double and then we will need have the parts installed. we need to consider the following. Lead-time, Delivery charge import tax/Duty and then the horrible exchange rate. Then we need to pay someone to install them! This is not the US and the rules/regulations are completely different here. So yes this is an exceptional car for what we get here & its approved by the local roads authority/state government to be allowed on our roads.

So why did you set the shiftlight at 1000RPM too low on the GT? Bad fuel for the day making the engine not fire properly at peak power RPM? Same engine as Mach 1, literally. Differs in intake which is indifferable in terms of peak power point (Yes it might grant 5-10 hp but the peak is at the same RPM, 7200.) Hard to compare two cars with the same engine when you've crippled one of the engines by shortshifting every gear, every time. :/

It is probably possible to get more power on the engine of Mach 1 as well, so then it will manage 1 second faster around this track for half the price of that Mercis. But of course a bit of the extra price is due to the fact that there is a slightly more luxurious interior in the Mercis, But I do not think it's worth paying double the price for that reason.

@@f4r20 as I said it is an Australian delivered PP2. Which is probably more of a PP1.5, as we did miss out on a bunch of stuff. The later models probably more noticeable. I have a 2016 delivered GT and they were definitely marketed as PP2. Unfortunately by the time they actually arrived here they were missing a few things. The most noticeable being the torsen diff (we got the 3.55 standard rear instead) and no extra gauges.

Your also missing the handling package on the Mach 1 and your also driving the European version granted it’s the same version on both cars. I really enjoyed the video !

It's too bad that you people over there, don't get the special Mach 1 handling package with the bigger wheels and tires and other goodies. I hear that they help a lot on lap times. I enjoyed the video and your part in it.

Why didn’t you rev the GT above 6000rpm? Does it run out of breath above that?

@Gltokensp06 2 жыл бұрын

Not sure. The coyote motor is known for feeling like a turbo because it makes most of it's power up high. The us spec GTs rev to 7200 rpm.

@toreyeads5646 2 жыл бұрын

I saw that to. He had the rev counter on the get set at 6k and the Mach 1 at 7.1k. He was short shifting the hell out of the GT. Really believe that a GT PP1 revved out to redline would have matched the Mach1 in this track test.

The difference in handling is probably the Magnaride on the Mach. Also in the US we get the same diffy as the Mach on the GT. However they tested the non Handling Package for the Mach which would have even been more dramatic.

@Briggsian 2 жыл бұрын

I've heard the magneride tuning on the Mach 1 is more aggressive than the GT. Makes it less livable on the road, but a bit better on track

@davidtennien39 2 жыл бұрын

@@Briggsian to be honest a Mach 1 is basically a PP 1 car with Magnaride. To get the full setup you have to get the Handling Package.

@jackgibb16 Жыл бұрын

can i just point out Chris that you had the shift point set to 6k in the GT but 7k in the Mach 1.. this might explain the difference in the top end rpm you was explaining. also on your onboard lap you didnt ever once rev the GT past 6,4k rpm it doesnt make peak power until 7k

That’s a problem. S550 was not a good platform to begin with. They need to switch platforms not improve. The handling is still lacking bad and off the line acceleration.

@@al151 Bro, the s550 platform is excellent, what are you talking about? It's a little heavy, but it's solid. I mean, the gt350r is setting faster lap times around Laguna Seca than a 458 Italia. Seems like the platform is pretty good to me.

If you have rev matching on don’t rev match yourself. I noticed every time I did that I would miss gears. Something about you rev matching throws off something in the electronics and transmission synchronization

So if you wanted more brighter instruments then why didn’t you just adjust them up? As for the seats,,,those are the comfort ones with power adjustments, heat and cooling. More sport oriented manual Recaro’s are available but without the heat and cooling If you were going to do a comprehensive comparison you should have gone through the options list of both of Mustangs, which is very important since there are so much available IE handling packages, numerous tires/wheels, aero packs, rear gear ratios, brakes, magnetic suspension, etc.

@russparker1647 11 ай бұрын

Considering all the suspension bits from the GT 350 and GT 500 the Mach 1 benefits from, it’s no wonder it is faster and better handling. Would be even faster with the10 speed auto.
