Seriously, where do people come up with this stuff? There is going to be NO Mach 1 produced from Ford. And if they did they certainly would not use a NA 5.4. It's days are seriously numbered. The 5.0 makes way more power than the 5.4 ever would NA and gets way better gas mileage. There are only two things the 5.4L is good at, handling boost (and quite well) and a boat anchor.

Now stop creating internet lies based on pipe dreams.

 

i'm in NO way oz... great yes...Oz no
hahaha

Seriously though, my word isn't worth spit

 

What if it's a stroked Coyote?

 

Ford has been actively protecting the Mach1 name, they wouldn't do it just for the fun of it.

 

 

That isn't really indicative of a revived model coming soon, though. Lest we forget what happens when a company fails to protect a moniker from its past. See: Ford GT40. Who's to say there won't EVER be another Mach1? It behooves Ford to continue to protect the past, for the sake of the future.

 

There will be another Mach 1. I really would have preferred that instead of another GT/CS.

 

I was just thinking about this the other day and about how good a Bullitt grille would look on the new body style.

 

GT40 then GT90 then just plain ole GT, I hope they keep trying, I love the GT40 based cars. Just not sure what to name the next one, GT50?

 

Get your mind out of the gutter.

 

OK TN....Now that the Boss is out, is the Mach something realistic, or should I just place my order?

 

A Mach I could make sense, with either a 5.4 or 6.2, and positioned more as a street bruiser / stop light racer in contrast to the Boss 302's race course persona. My guess, were a Mach I come to be, would be the 6.2 in Raptor tune or a bit more, maybe even up around the Boss's 440hp range. The motor's character would, of course, be rather different, more the low-mid rev torquer than the Boss high rev screamer.

 

Is that the same thing as Red Rocket from South Park

 

5.4???? Why would they want to do that when they've got a perfectly awesome 6.2 that would be alot more in character with a Mach. Just imagine 450hp with 430 ft/lbs of torque with enough power under the curve that a M6 trans would accurately be described as superfluous. Ford wouldn't even have to do an aluminum block since its all about brute acceleration.

 

I still don't think it's out of the question regardless of what other people think they know. With the moves Ford is making these days, I'm not ruling anything out.

If it wasn't a 2013 S/E, I could also see it as a replacement for the GT500 when the next model comes out. It could make a good replacement as the top of the line brute with all the bells and whistles.

 

hmmmm, I heard that the Mach was great but not going to be coming back.

 

My thoughts exactly. I'll probably hold on to what I have and decide once I see the 50th.

 

You're just jealous cos we're getting "Blown" Coyotes before you do... what I meant was...

That's what I'd call a rocket. Right colour, too.

 

N/A 5.4????........ sounds like a BOSS 329 to me!!!!

 

Needs 100 more cubic inches. Nothing sounds so evil as BOSS 429.
