I agree, my wifes I30 barely gets better than my GT. I laugh at people that like to make comments about my gas guzzler, they're actually trying to sympathize with me. I just laugh it off and say at least its better than my truck.
Yea! After losing my beautiful 2002 GT, I just didn't want another GT. It was a Mach 1, Cobra or Lightning on my list. I quickly found my new ride, the only car I looked at, and bought it immediately. It was a local one owner, 19K miles, owned by a absolute Mustang nut like myself. It's absolutely immaculate and already had: UPR subframe connectors Eibach Pro springs UPR Pro Street Upper and Lower Control Arms FRPP Alum driveshaft Alum Rear end cover / girdle Maximum Motorsports C/C Plates, Strut Tower brace and K Member brace Redline SS hood struts Magnaflow catted X and Magnapack catback These are what I'd call "standard" upgrades that all Mustangs should have, so I was thrilled to find a Mach 1, this clean, this well cared for, with these mods already on - it was a no brainer to sign on the dotted line. The additional 50 HP is a god send and much needed. The 3:55s certainly help too. The ability to wind up to 6800 RPMs is a plus. I lose traction, with 315s out back, at around 4-4.5K RPMs in 2nd gear (around 40 MPH) - it's a BLAST! Oh, and the original rims and tires were taking off the car with about 1K miles, so they too are truly like new. I put about 500 miles on em before switching them out myself.
The 99 and 04 have the 35th and 40th aniversary badges on the side. I love the way people look at it confused...... you just know they are thinking.... thats not a GT, cause it doesnt say GT on the side.
I took my GT emblems off the sides and put V6 pony emblems on...i get the "Is that a V6?" thing all the time
Did you know that the Mach 1's come with subframe connectors from the factory? So are you sure the subframe connectors are UPR's? I think the stock ones were black. But anyway the Mach 1's are awesome cars.
