2021 Mach 1
 

So. Saw a snippet on FB...touting HP and TQ numbers of 525 and 450 for the 2021. That, if true, would make me very happy to see. Not that I will probably be able to get one anyway without coughing up one of my existing cars, but...

I know the rumor mill will be quelled soon. But this is exciting to see. Especially after having the fortune to be driving the 2019. As good as this car is i can only imagine how good the 2021 could be...

Great times to be a Mustang Fan

You are a cruel man...lol

Re: 2021 Mach 1
 

Yeah...ain't it great?

They did break some unofficial news today that the 5.0 in the new Mach 1 is going to be good for 525hp! That's nuts! It's unofficial, but it'd be great if true!

:borg:

Re: 2021 Mach 1
 

It goes to show how much potential exists in these coyotes...Bet with marks ups these will be in gt350 price ranges...hope they have figured out a way to incorporate the shaker

Re: 2021 Mach 1
 

No shaker would be a deal breaker for me.

I tend to agree...

I think they can make the shaker work.

but. also thinking 71-73 Naca ducts (if i spelled that correctly) ram air hood...might work well with this body style...there are already hood vents incorporated on the stock hoods now anyway...would not be difficult to make those functional...

if it does not have a shaker...makes our 03-04 cars even that more unique...

Re: 2021 Mach 1
 

Shaker wouldn’t look right on the S550 body...car (hood) is too big!

Re: 2021 Mach 1
 

I don’t know
Here is my best friends 69 with his 2019 ecoboost

Re: 2021 Mach 1
 

Shakers are like bacon, it always makes things better!

Re: 2021 Mach 1
 

Good quote.. Agree!!

Re: 2021 Mach 1
 

Believe me, I’m not anti-shaker, just never cared for the way the S197s looked with the CDC shaker kits on them. Perhaps if they made a Mach specific hood for the ‘21 model year (similar/along the lines of ours), I could see a shaker looking right at home on it!

Re: 2021 Mach 1
 

Didn’t take it that way.

Just posted the pic to show the comparison on size between the 69 and today.
I agree, just like ours a dedicated hood would be necessary...

Re: 2021 Mach 1
 

The S197s were designed for a shaker add on by the aftermarket. The underside of the hood has an area specific for just that!

:borg:

Re: 2021 Mach 1
 

As the old saying goes, “Just because you can doesn’t mean you should!” (S197) lol

The point I was trying to make in my previous post is, as long as it doesn’t look like an “after thought,” I’m sure it’ll look great and right at home!

Re: 2021 Mach 1
 

Part of what works so well on ours (IMO) is that massive bulge that the shaker sits in the middle of. Absent that bulge, the shaker just ends up looking like a pimple.

Re: 2021 Mach 1
 

Ya, Im not really sure how well the shaker would work on this body style.

Re: 2021 Mach 1
 

Perhaps a bigger bulge and a bigger shaker scoop will work with the bigger hood.

Scoops are kinda like t*ts....the bigger the better.

I've read global pedestrian impact standards prevents Ford from ever adding a shaker to future production Mustangs. Ford had to go global with selling the Mustang to justify keeping it around and had to meet the regs in order to do that. They could offer the new Mach for US sales only, but it's possible those same regs will be imposed here at some point as well. I want a shaker on the new Mustang but unless it's aftermarket I don't see it happening.

Re: 2021 Mach 1
 

ya that pedestrian standard really neutered the front end imho.

Everything I keep saying makes it sound like this a rebadged bullitt with a power bump but I guess we'll see

Re: 2021 Mach 1
 

Do none of the other cars have shakers anymore? Like the Challengers, Chargers, Vettes? Idk. Not paying close attention.

Re: 2021 Mach 1
 

I'm fairly certain that the Challenger has a shaker option package. There's a Trans Am conversion on the Camaro body that is shaker equipped. Other than that, I don't know of any.
Maybe there'll be a shaker option on the Mach E????:27:

Re: 2021 Mach 1
 

Sold!! :23:

Re: 2021 Mach 1
 

Maybe get one used... going gtr next. Let you guys know what's up when it's here :)
Hope for 515-530awhp on pump gas on first set of mods.

Re: 2021 Mach 1
 

I saw a factory shaker on a Challenger yesterday, but this car is not officially sold in Europe like the Mustang now is. Ford won't spend the extra $$$ to offer a factory shaker for the US market only.
