Hello Mach 1 World
I’m Brian, new to the Mustang world!
After owning L98, LT1 and LS1 Camaros and then being out of the pony car world for a few years, I decided to plunge back in and change things buy buying a 2003 supercharged Mach 1. It the one Mustang I really, really liked when it came out so I figured why not?? After test driving a stock one, the view over the hood alone made me fall in love with it. Definitely old muscle car feel. Anyway, my car is being delivered tomorrow. It’s a 2003 Mustang Mach 1 with 59k on it, stainless long tube headers, full exhaust, JLT rai, Eaton supercharger, I believe similar to the terminator cobra. Some other engine and suspension mods. It’s like Christmas all over again 😂 |

Being in Pa., it'll be easy for you to join up with us at the annual Carlisle show, our unofficial Mach 1 'event'.

Re: Hello Mach 1 World
Thank you!
Car was delivered around noon today and it is absolutely a blast to drive. I’m surprise that I didn’t hear hardly any supercharger whine. Not used to the clutch and the short throw shifter, going to take a little getting used to. Car has 315’s on the back but is still easily able to break it loose which I did a lot unintentionally. So far I have stalled the car twice and keep missing third gear but I am getting the hang of it already. Been a while since I have driven a stick. I am very familiar with Carlisle and have been to several GM, Ford and Dodge nationals. Looking forward to bringing the Mach 1! |

Re: Hello Mach 1 World
Make sure you copy a link from the site if they're already posted elsewhere, otherwise they need to be fairly small files to download directly
We do have a photo gallery (link n upper left corner) that you can post to and link as well. Doesn't get used much of late but there are a lot of good photos on there.

Hello Mach 1 World
The exhaust can mask the whine of the blower. One of my Roush cars has an upgraded mid-pipe and it’s loud, but I can’t hear the blower because of it. A friend of mine had a supercharged nova with the same situation, he couldn’t hear the blower because of how loud the the exhaust was. Put some quieter mufflers on it and you should hear the blower.
Pick your poison. |

I can see where you’re coming from on the exhaust side of things, but my take on it with hearing the supercharger is it’s addicting. My first Roush has axlebacks only and I find the blower whine addicting, she’s angry! My other Roush is going to get some mods and one of them is more tame mufflers so I can hear that supercharger. What I’m trying to say is maybe just try something different to hear it and your opinion might completely change. I wanted my cars really loud but now I wouldn’t sacrifice not hearing the blower whine for really loud exhaust. As I said it’s addicting. Pick your poison. |

Re: Hello Mach 1 World
So I took everyone’s advice and took the car to a local Quarry road and did a couple high revving passes and the supercharger is definitely whining!
I also did, as suggested, have somebody with me who stood by as I passed and said they had absolutely no problem discerning that the car was supercharged as they could easily hear the whine as well. Thanks!! I have a new JLT air filter with heat shield coming this week and four new tires delivered today. I’m hoping to have everything on and the car inspected for this coming weekend!

Re: Hello Mach 1 World
So I got new tires on, new air filter with heat shield and now have my PA safety and emission stickers for 2021 so I’m ready to roll!
I’m going to ride out the temp tag until it expires so I can delay on paying the sales tax for purchase of the car for a few weeks. Car is running great but I’m wondering if I should change the plugs as I don’t know when they were last changed or should I leave them for now? Also, shaker scoop is a little faded, any suggestions? Obviously painting is an option but I feel like the paint would look worse over time.

The shaker is actually painted from the factory with wrinkle paint and the wrinkle powdercoat used by the person who did Jeff and I's shakers is a dead ringer for the stock paint. The guy is very picky, he redid mine twice before sending it back because he wasn't happy with how it turned out the first two times. BTW, welcome to the site and hope to see you at Carlisle. We also do an annual Crab Run down to Woody's Crabhouse in Northeast, MD. The run starts at Old School's (Chris) house in West Chester and ends with a BBQ at Chris' house (includes time in the pool between meals). This event is open to all makes and models so usually end up with a nice mix of cars ranging from the 60's to modern day plain jane cars. Chris normally posts the date a few months in advance, watch the Get Togethers section of the forum.
