That is also in the pipeline.

 

Say wha...?!

 

I don't think so! I would love a Mach 1 though.

 

Why don't you think so?

 

Whilst I'd love that to be true, what engine would that be based on? Surely the Coyote won't stretch that far? More details man!!!

 

I'll be first.

Shenanigans!...pics and performance specs or it isn't true!


I will say this. the 2003 mach was the NA version of the SVT niche motor...so.....seems plausible

 

I'D Like to see the Mach 1 in 2013 or 14.... With a 351 C.I.D.... Cleveland Powered Version :-)

85GT302

 

boss 351 or 429 probably with the 6.2 adjusted.

 

If Ford nailed the styling & HP on a new Mach1, I would certainly have to buy one!
I've always been a fan of the Mach1, and I thought Ford did a wonderful job on the last one!

Sad that Ford didn't bring it back for 05-09. Perfect body style for that car. I could of lived with a SC 4.6L or a watered down GT500 5.4L, say 400-500hp?

 

How about another Bullitt SE? While I love the Boss 302's mechanicals, the styling is a bit garish for my tastes -- not bad, mind you, just a bit too loud.

So, what's a toned down speed demon to do? Well, what about stuffing most/all of the Boss mechanical bits into an understated package? Offer it in the usual Highland Green, or maybe even black too as has been done and the usual Bullitt style wheels (the one Mustang that should offer these waaaaaaay overused wheels). Probably just use the standard GT front and rear caps and, of course, no other surface baubles for that pared down look.

Thoughts?

 

My thoughts: Let the Bullitt rest in peace. The California Special too. It's time for something else; Boss, Mach 1, non-Shelby SVT, etc.

 

I actually think the 2010+ is the perfect body style for the car due to the extremely heavy DNA taken form the 69-70 mustang. Let's face it the 2011 looks far more like a 69 mach 1 than the 05-09 ever did. The 05-09 was heavily 67-68 influenced. Just look at the 2012 Boss for god sake and compare it to the original 69 Boss 302.

 

Rhumb, you sir are NEVER happy! No IRS for you!

I do see a spot for the Mach to fill in as a SE street bruiser. As much as I like the Boss, I don't see me spinning the engine to 7500 rpms regularly. But I would love to have a car with all the new tech and options of the 2011+ models and a little something extra. Especially if it made itself known below ...say...4000 rpm in the form of a torque beast. As cool as the Shelby is I'm not loving it. Give me a Mach!

 

Cranberry Dreams in your new 2012 Mustang Ghia!

 

Actually, pretty happy and quite impressed, my Mustang "nits" list is quickly being replaced by the Mustang "hits" list.

I've long griped that Ford had taken a "good enough" attitude towards the Mustang and ended up with a Mustang that was pretty good. But wow, now look at them! I don't know if its the pressure from the Camaro and Challenger, even the 370Z and Genesis Coupe, or just a general change in corporate culture, but look at the what's been going on with the Stang in the past two years. They've left "good enough" wallowing in the dust as they race towards overall excellence.

Not that I still don't have a few gripes on my quickly diminishing list -- fussy exterior restyle and, ummmmm, oh yeah, no IRS of course -- but wow, gotta give credit where credit is due. Hopefully they can and will maintain this enlightened pace through the next Stang redesign and into the future. That the Boss 302, so close on the heals of the '10 refresh and 3.7/5.0 intros, was such an extensive and well done package rather than some lame stripe and spoiler package we might have expected a few years ago gives good cause that they won't be slacking off anytime soon.

 

You NEVER go half Landau!!

 

Calm down it's just a joke!

Good thing you didn't see the pillow tufted cranberry suede and fake wood!

 

Did someone say Mach1?

OK, it's obviously based on the '05 concept car, but it looks real good!

 

While I prefer the '69-'70 Mach 1s, Arin's photoshop sold me on the '71-'73 look for the 2010+ cars. I love the look of the ram air hood on this bodystyle. Drop a monster torque 6.2 in, along with a few more Mach 1 touches, and we'd be good to go!

 

whoa! didnt even see my chop up there i just saw a II and had to post If the mach comes out tahts what i'll be hoping for

I would buy a 2012 King Cobra It had better come with T-Tops though

you bet your **** we're jealous... I'd kill for that car
