HMMMMM ! BON says that a mach 1 proto is sitting in factory as we speak. More news coming next week so they say. Anyone else see this info on BON ???

 

BON?

 

Blue Oval News

 

ill be looking right now

 

Yeah, Brad made mention that a Mach 1 was coming in the GT/CS thread.

 

I cant wait to see what the mach will look like,wonder what power plant it will have . Hopefully a N/A 5.4 with about 400hp

Joe

 

This is almost as exciting as the GT500 intro (which in retrospect was a bit of a letdown 'cause we new so much about the car, what they showed at Detroit was nothing new).

Anyways, hope they go after the look of the "70 with some sort of lower rocker "straked" design rather than the mid-body stipe of the '69 (too much like the GT/CS which most people are iffy on) or the lower body stipe on the last generation versions.

Fingers are crossed !

 

How bout a link to this since I don't see it on Blue Oval News

 

So Roush will be handling producing the Mach1 eh? hmmm. :scratch:
Is it just me or does it feel like it's not a real MACH1 when a company apart from FORD produces a SE Mustang. I know Roush is incahoots with Ford but they are still a separate Company. Whereas the last Machs were made within Ford by the Team Mustang group.
However i am extremely excited about having a Mach1. I dont want to sound unhappy about it. I just want to feel like I'm getting a Ford car and not a TUNER car apart from Ford.
Someone ease my mind here.

 

Sounds like it is just more Vinyl Wrapping Badge Slapping window dressing.
Hope not.

 

Mach 1 =

400 hp and N/A would be sweet. I don't know if I can handle ordering and waiting for another car so soon but it was worth the wait for the GT.

I'm sure it'll be one bad car!

The trend continues...

'05/'06 GT... as cool as it was in the 60's and 70's

'07 GT500... as cool as it was in the 60's

California Special... was it really that cool back then?

Mach 1... :worship:

 

If they truely come out with a mach 1 with around 400 hp I would gladly pick one up. the GT500 would be a little out of my price range considering all of the mark-ups.

 

I can understand what you're issue is with this, but let's not forget that the Boss 429 was built at Kar Kraft, not Ford. And that didn't make the Boss 429 any less of a Mustang. It's actually one of the, if not THE best Mustangs of all time. So let's not get too worried about Roush's involvement, whatever it is, with the new Mach 1. All that matters is that it's well done and kicks ****! :headbang: :drive:

 

Another here who hopes ford does the right thing and provides an affordable SE (mach or boss) with 400 or more HP. If they don't, the Challenger guys will be killing us.....

 

Don't worry Kevin, lots of manufacturers outsource their development to specialty builders, the final job will still go to Ford and it'll still be produced on the same line as ours were. For example, alot of the suspension development for the 05 was done by Multimatic - for Ford -leaving Ford to tool up after the designs were in and build them. Roush isn't big enough to bite off a production run (retrofiting stock GT's to Mach 1 specs) of what......10,000 or so.....a year. They're doing the development work, Ford'll produce them.

 

Roush being involved is a positive. Bigtime. Ford uses them a lot for a reason.

 

Where are you guys seeing this I can't find this new info on BON

 

Yeah it was posted on December 10th, and no there was no updates the next week.

 

I wasnt even BORN yet so that dont COUNT!! HA!!
No you have a good point there. The Boss 429 is one of my all time favorite Classic Mustangs. I have a DieCast model one sitting right behind me as i type. And i now remember reading somewhere that Kar Kraft helped out with that one.




Thank you for putting my mind at ease. Ahh i feel better now.

MAAACH 1

 

the 93 cobra was built by roush aswell...
