From December Issue:

0-60: 5.2 (their old estimate was 5.4)
0-100: 13.8@102
Top Speed: 149

Faster on comparison chart than GTO, G35c, and RX-8. Lots of very positive comments. Only negatives were brakes (70-0 in 183 feet), and the all-black interior.

 

I assume that is with a MTX.

Can you confirm?

 

Yes - it was a manual.

Comments on the trans: "The improved shift linkage and stubby new shifter - about the size of a beer bottle's neck - are co-conspirators in the accel figures. Throws are shorter, less notchy, and require less thought. And even the clutch effort is reduced."

I hadn't bothered to notice the ratios before. You reach 60 before going to third, 4th is 1:1, and even 3rd is good for 100MPH.

 

One thing about C&D, you have to compare their times for different cars (like MR325iT did).

What did the Mach 1 do according to C&D?

 

in December 2002, 0-60 in 5.2.

Same as 05.

 

Well the '05 Gt is basivcally the same as the '03 Mach 1 so it's correct on that account.

 

Power-wise, right?

 

Yah powerwise its basically the same as the Mach 1's

 

My memory is fuzzy, but I think the Mach did the quarter in 13.8sec in C&D as well.

 

I bet with seasoned track drivers we'll see better times than the Mach 1 more often... but until then, I guess this is what we're stuck with.

 

The Mach 1 did 14.0 @ 103 in C&D's test.

In the main 2005 section I posted ALL the Mustang times that C&D published over the last 4 years.

 

could ya link that V10, that would be awesome, don't have much time to look for it.

 

Some of you guys sure are lazy. Mach 1 test was Dec 2002. I'm sure that you can go to the C&D website and find it.

 

touchy are we???? lol, yes we are lazy! thats why we want fast cars b/c we are too lazy to walk there! but yeah one test of the mach 1 by car and driver w/ 350Z Audi TT and S2000 1/4 was 14.0 from the dec 02
