2019-2019 Mustang Mach 1 Review And Specs

Mustang Mach 1 with the 4.6L 32 valve DOHC engine was offered only two years, 2003 and 2004, rated at 305 Horsepower @ 6000 RPM and 320 LBS torque @ 4250 RPM. The 2003 to 2004 Mustang Mach 1 is a 32 valve DOHC engine which is similar to the Mustang Cobra except being naturally aspirated with an aluminum block and different engine internal components. Also, the GT Mustang is a 4.6 SOHC 16 valve engine and is not the same as the Mach 1 4.6L 32 valve DOHC engine. The 4.6L DOHC engines are much more responsive to aftermarket mods and have greater potential. By the way, the weak spots in these DOHC engines are the pistons and connecting rods. The Ford Mustang Mach 1 factory package lowers the vehicle one half of an inch, it also has a much firmer suspension for over all improved road handling. The Mach 1 handling package includes special front and rear coil springs with adapted load and spring rates. Mach 1 Mustangs all came factory with Tokico struts and shocks, unique stabilizer bars in the front and rear, plus added factory frame rail connectors to stiffen up the Mach 1 body.

You also received big thirteen inch front rotors, with performance Brembo brake calipers which provided excellent stopping capability. The brake calipers came with a black-anodized finish which looked nice through factory 17 inch Magnum 500 wheels and worked well with standard anti-lock brakes and traction control.

Ford has also built SYNC 4 with over-the-air updates in mind. It all seems like a big improvement over the old SYNC in Ford鈥檚 existing cars. Both USB-C and USB-A is a nice touch, too, as are native apps for things like PlugShare and different streaming services. With Ford鈥檚 mobile app you can remotely track charging status, program in new routes, and control preconditioning of the cabin. Still, there are a few omissions. The absence of a head-up display is an obvious one, though Ford counters that the digital cluster is positioned almost in your eye-line. Concerns about where to charge up an EV are one of the biggest barriers to ownership, Ford鈥檚 research discovered: 62-percent of people said they didn鈥檛 believe an all-electric vehicle could be taken on a long road trip. Ford isn鈥檛 building its own Supercharger-style network, but it is trying to better connect the dots between the different public charging stations out there. It鈥檚 calling it the FordPass Charging Network, and it鈥檒l launch with over 35,000 charge plugs across 12,500 stations in the US. What鈥檚 special is that Ford is promising a single point of payment from all in-network chargers.

So, if you pull into an Electrify America station and plug in, you won鈥檛 have to set up a separate account. Some locations will support initiating charging via the Mustang Mach-E鈥檚 infotainment screen or the mobile app; even easier, others will support Plug if your wiring is up to its 48 amp support, you鈥檙e looking at potentially 32 miles added per hour.
