Bottom line, great to have choices and I’m glad the 1LE applied the needed pressure for Ford to step up their track car game on the 5.0L lineup.
Agree with this sentiment. I know some are disappointed about certain things, but I'm liking the Mach 1, even if it is closer to a PP3 variant than a GT350 replacement. Can't say I'm in the market for one, but I'm glad others will be able to enjoy them.

GM has always one upped Ford on tires, because they stuff as big a set of air filled rubber as possible and Ford tends to go with undertired and often even tiny tubulars up front ( can you say, " Let's induce push to keep our consumers safe!"). Seems once we bump up to similar levels we see the Stangs unraveling a Bowtie. Move from GT350 to GT350R for a perfect example( bigggg rhubarb one da R ) and I often wonder how much that little bit of extra track speed is contributed to the wider Sport Cups on Big Daddy? Well, we already know even bigger rubber will fit under a GT 350 and that sure helps many decide to go with either Stang. Besides the Mustang is beauteous and Camaro is butteaous!

Have there been any updates for the Mach 1? Order banks, production date etc. Asking for a friend.
Wonder if the Ford reps who will be at the Mustang Roundup next weekend might have some info they can share...

If I can make it to the event I'll be sure to ask.
