I used to have a new edge way back in the day. Never thought I would like the S197 better.....but I love it dearly now.

I've never driven a Mach 1, but i've driven an 05 GT and i think they would pull about the same. 2nd gear really throws ya back in the seat and thats something my auto doesn't do......

Thanks, Its the same exact way for me. A week ago I was deciding on a new edge build but then thought why don't I go another route. I was going to pull the trigger on new 3.7 mustang but started studying up on 3v's. I searched for a few and found some good deals and decided I did not want to spend +20k for a new car (Im saving for a house ATM). I love the fact that the aftermarket for these cars are ridiculously huge compared to the 2v and the potential is allot better for the kind of car I want. My girl wants a New edge so after a place there might be that and a fox in my garage (My insurance lady loves me ).

I would say the mach is a great comparison to the 3v's, I have driven both and the mach pulls a little harder but the 3v's seem smoother (Yeah 2nd gear is my favorite lol). I would take a mach 1 over this but that would be at a different time and the right price. For 13ish thousand I could not pass this deal up.

I peeled the L off at a gas station today just out of curiosity on how hard it will be to remove. It comes off real easy but leaves a blemish, so I will tackle that on my next day off when I have time to clean it up. on a side not it now says ASCO FORD lol.

I wish ford could have done a better job with the New edge's interior, The S197 interior kicks *** vs the New edge. My next mustang will be a S197 but I wont trade in my 2v, op congrats on the purchase, just don't leave us all alone jk enjoy!

Just use a hair-dryer to peel off those dealer stickers easily... They will come right off...
