Had Mach 1 for a while but new to forum - 2003-04 Mach 1 Registry Owners Club

RoDog723 · 04-06-2005, 06:14 PM

I have 03 Torch Red Mach 1 5sp. I have had it for a year and love it. I have been getting a lot of great info from this forum and decided to join it. Mach 1 still stock but looking to add a cat back soon,probably Borla Stingers.

I live in Northwest Fl on the Emerald Coast and I have seen many Mach 1s in our area. I think this area has an unusual amount of them considering the limited production. I have counted at least 3 Torch reds,2 yellows,2 azures, and 1 white and 1 DSG. Thats a total of nine. This includes 03 and 04s. I haven't seen a black one yet. This is in a 25 mile radius. Is this a high number? There are only 5 small towns in this area. Pensacola, the largest close city is 40 mi away and I am not counting ones I've seen from there.

Does anybody else see a lot of Mach 1s or very few?

Welcome to the Registry and greetings from the Space Coast

Wow, you held off the mod bug for awhile... but once it starts...

I've seen 2 Torch Red, 1 Screaming Yellow, 1 Azure Blue, 1 Oxford White, 1 Competition Orange and an '03 Black just in my small town.

RoDog723 · 04-06-2005, 06:44 PM

I see you'got a black one. And a Lightning too. I have always luved that truck. Man, how do afford the insurance?

Yeah, once I get started on the mods it will be hard to stop. One thing that has held me back is the extended warranty to 72K. Don't even know what I was thinking when the salesman asked that question!!!

Anyway. nice to hear from another Floridian. Our local Mustang club is having a car show at our mall this weekend. I plan to go if the weather cooperates. I' hoping to heard some Borlas on a Mustang so I can make up my mind.

Welcome aboard.

blown03Mach1 · 04-06-2005, 06:53 PM

I work at MacDill AFB in Tampa, and just on base there is a Blue, Orange, Black, and my Red. I would say I have seen quiet a few around town, but not even close to the number of Roush's/Saleen's/Steeda's/or Cobra's in our area!

Welcome to the club!

Reds are faster!

Welcome to the website, lots of good people and info on here. I have the Bassani X and Borla Stingers - love em! But, very loud, not for everyone. But my theory is if you don't like loud then you should be driving a Lexus and not a Mach. At least a dozen Machs here in Oahu, but only see one maybe once a week. Good luck getting Azure Blue touch up paint in Hawaii though - since there's only 2 blue Machs on the island. Dealerships here kinda suck though.

Well, I have to order a hamburger now instead of the cheeseburger... and no more supersizing.

Seriously... my insurance isn't really that expensive. One of the perks of getting older I guess... although I'm sure that will change when I have to insure my son in a couple of years

The good news is... when you're looking to add the blower, you can buy back the remainder of the extended warranty

You will like the Borla Stingers I have them then added a bassani catted X pipe and the sound is awesome. Get ready to see your money sucked into the car its hard to stop the mods each adds a little more to how the car runs and performs. Enjoy your car and welcome to the club.
