Default New 07 owner...

Hello All!

I've been a Mustang fanatic for about 20 years ( I've owned a ton of them). I just recently sold my pride and joy 03 Mach1 and picked up a 07 GT. By far the most comfortable Mustang I've ever owned. In reading some of these posts and seeing pictures of some of your Mustangs, I am stunned on just how good some of your cars look. I can't wait to get after adding some goods to mine...

GT vs Mach you ask? :-)

Two completely different cars is the best way I could put it. The Mach makes you drive it, the GT drives you. My Mach had the shaker raised, gears, full magnaflow and intake. It pulled like a beast up in the higher revs. The GT is better low-mid range than the Mach. Over allmy Machwas a little quicker than the GT, but stock for stock it's a drivers race.

Fun to drive aspect? Man that's a tough one. Personally, for me,being comfortable in the Mach was next to impossible(knee surgery years ago). When I would put the Mach away for the night I was beat (that car makes you work for that smile). It's the perfect design for a gearhead. The GT makes me smile the minute I sit down in it (i've owned a 65, 84, 86, 89, 95, 03) and to me, the GTtruly is the best mustang ever. The ride is fantastic, the interior is huge, it plants it's feet a little better than the Mach though the Mach is a little easier to throw around, and best of all, I can not wait to start modding it. In short, the Mach is a ton of motor in a good car, and the GT is a ton of motor in a great car.

The Mach's motorfrom the factory is a tight machine. There are some things you can do to it for a lot of money, but Ford pretty much nailed it when it left the factory. The GT on the other hand has a TON of stuff available and without question the 3v's potential is stunning.

Do I miss the Mach? A little. It was a beast, but I've had the GT about a week and a half now and it is without question, in my opinion, and for me, the better car.
