    Mach 1 Took my Dad for his first ride in the Mach

    My family has driven the Mustang since my Dad bought his first in 1966. He has owned two others since, and rode in my 2000GT once. He was not impressed, and promptly held me off, somewhat, with his S/C Buick Regal (he launched first and I had to climb to 80 to catch him when he left me on a...

    Mach 1 What is your favorite wax?

    I just laid down the 2nd coating of Miguires. It is so slick you slide off of it. I've read posts of other wax routines, specifically ZAINO; is it better than Miguires? I'm really thinking more along the lines of removing the spare and AIR BRAKE, but I ALWAYS keep the Stang shining. Just...

    Mach 1 What people paying for a new '04 Mach1?

    I'm thinking the 'great Mach1 buyout' is over. I've read that the delear incentives ended 3/31/04. That's not to say that someone with the cash and an EYE on one certain Mach sitting in some lot somewhere couldn't be taken cheap. The cue is now, you better buy one new NOW before the UNREAMED...

    Mach 1 Your first test drive in a Mach1

    I started a new thread on WAX, kinda where I am now. The Mustangs get together here in the summer for a show. This Mach1 is going in. I never entered my 2000GT, but it would have dawn attention (deep wax throughout that you could comb your hair in). I just laid the same application on...

    What kind of WAX JOB are you giving your Mach

    I just finished the second coating, a deep one. I gave mine a hand job on top of the dealership "detail", two weeks ago. Today, my first wash and shine went well. The 1st wax filled in the pores nicely. I laid down a deep shine of Miguire's Gold Class tonight. What are you guys using...

    Mach 1 Your first test drive in a Mach1

    Mileage Report Just turned 900. I've learned to drive it slow. Third and Fourth gears are my favorite gears. They are almost the same, and accelleration builds with both of them. So even if I am driving cool, I still have motor left, big time. I launched it twice today outta 2nd, into...

    Mach 1 What people paying for a new '04 Mach1?

    Wide Open Throttle. Believe it or not, I've been really good the last week. I haven't tried listening for it. I've learned how to drive it slow, turning the radio up where I can't hear the exhaust helps :D The 2-3 and 3-4 shift knowledge helps, I have an idea of what MPH to start...

    Mach 1 What people paying for a new '04 Mach1?

    I haven't heard this "howl" yet. I'll pay close attention to it and see if I can hear that. Do you have to be WOT? At what MPH does it start?

    Mach 1 Hood advice!!

    My best guess I considered the shaker hood assembly for my 2000GT when it first came out. Please correct me if I am wrong, but I believe FORD worked with this company in their "skunkworks" dept to develop a factory warranteed setup. Check this out, it may help you. This project may have...

    Mach 1 What people paying for a new '04 Mach1?

    Two weeks into it, it is still an AWESOME ride. I can feel the motor breaking in. It is like it wants to stay in the 3000-4000RPM range. It will go below that, but the motor almost pouts. Sorry if that sounds gay, but my point is this motor LOVES 3000+, even at low throttle. The sound from...

    Mach 1 Your first test drive in a Mach1

    Idle Control Valve OK, I've been monitoring the ICV via the idle RPM's. Dang it if the ICV isn't already sticking. I noticed it around 400mi, and now at 600mi, it apprears to be getting worse. Bottom line. I DO NOT attribute the ICV fluctuatation (idle rpms) to K&N installation. I am...

    Mach 1 Mach1 Intake

    Thx for the reply Steel. I have discovered the Mach websites, so I haven't been here much. From my searches, it does not appear that anyone has improved on the intake system on the magnitude I am looking for. I still have my stock 2000GT filter box with snorkle mod, which actually worked...

    Mach 1 Your first test drive in a Mach1

    My only concern with the K&N is the residue mentioned earlier. In my 2000GT, the Idle Control Valve (ICV) became quirky after I first cleaned and oiled the filter. I don't know if it was caused by the residue, or if the oil could even affect it. I just know the idle was never smooth after...

    Mach 1 flood of 2004 Mach1's??????

    Yes there is! I joined the club last week. I say there is probably OVER-production across all breeds of stang in anticipation of the all-new '05 and the closing of current production lines. Just a guess.

    Mach 1 What people paying for a new '04 Mach1?

    Thx Stones, I don't know if I coulda held back on that Riviera, you woulda caught him at half-throttle:) I nailed it through a 35 degree right-turn today in second, I'm amazed at how this thing grips in turns, even at WOT. It laid two stripes through the turn, but it never even thought about...

    Mach 1 What people paying for a new '04 Mach1?

    I don't know about the rebate, I just offered, and they bit. Where I feel I made the best value is with 3.9% financing. If they are coming in higher than that at Ford Financing, tell them you have secured 3.9% with Capital One. That is what they are advertising on Edmunds.com. Get it! You...

    Mach 1 Mach1 Intake

    Leave it to MM&FF to have what I am looking for. The Mach throttle body is a 57mm twin throttle body, whatever that means, but does explain to me the oval shape. Has this unit been used in other models, or is it unique to the breed? I remember reading this article quite a while back...

    Mach 1 Anyone seen the MM&FF '04 Video

    I haven't seen it yet, but if anyone does, please rate it in a post. I may want one as well.
