Melbourne area stangs

So what does the Melbourne area stangs think about the Mach 1? I haven't heard any comments from y'all. I love the thing, and have been feverishly defending the thing since it was officially announced. What do y'all think? (promise I won't shove pro-mach1 info down your throat like I have to everyone else :D ;) :cool: )

i like it but could never afford it! but if someone were to give me one i would have no problem with that...and i like the rims too!!!
 
The jury is still out on the Mach 1. Ford can put out all the numbers they want, but until I see it perform (or even see it in production) I'm hedging my bets...

The shocks and struts are in. Took me about an hour and a half. Would have been done quicker but I was forced to use jackstands :( . I'm trying to keep an objective point of view so that I can give some accurate results. The old ones were stock and had 95K miles on them so it's hard to say if the Bilsteins are actually THAT good. Initial results are Wow, Damn, and Holy S**t! :D The car rides and handles sooo much better now. It's like she's brand new again, only better. I can't wait till I get springs :). I think I may just skip ESP and put on the coilovers and go to modified class. :cool:
 
New set up sounds good, Baglock1. Not good for me, though. Everytime I try to catch up with your times, you pull further ahead. :( Oh well, at least I can take you in a drag. :D ;) :cool:
 
EDIT: Looked it up: 260 HP stock. Gee, I don't know 45 HP is a lot to make up... Of course, mine is lighter!

It's my understanding that the GTs are under rated, that they actually put out...are you ready...264 HP! :eek: :eek: :eek: It just blows that old 260 out of the water. :rolleyes:

But Baglock, don't the 5.0s have like 285 TQ? I only have 302...

Now you know how I feel chasing after david

Yeah, looks like after his brake upgrade he'll be pulling ahead a little more...:eek: :p
 
Even though I was going to make a post in the 4.6 Talk, I decided to make my 1,500th post here, in the Southeast forum, in the thread that has helped me get there more than any other. I would like to say thank you, to everyone responsible for keeping this thread, the coolest thread in all of stangnet, alive for so long. This is such a special moment for me (even though it's really White's thread)...

//Wipes tear away, steps down from podium.\\

:D :D :D :D :D
