Unless, it was a small squirrel coming from your passenger side,,,,HE might be hidden by the crappy throwback shaker

What's sad is, this false info might have generated negative opinions of the car, as well as pissed a few people off when they found it doesn't have IRS. Oh well, makes them cheaper for us!

At one point in the video the narrator explains that it is faster by .7 seconds 0-60 than the Cobra.......then says that the Mach 1 is cheaper by 7k than the Cobra. They don't even know what Cobra their talking about!!

O and i didn't think the Mach's came with Brembo brakes??? And if it did, or doesn't for that matter.....i wouldn't think it would take that long to stop!!

"Ford is only offering the Mach 1 for one year!!11"


Also, they mentioned the Mach was .7 behind the Cobra, not faster than the Cobra...



That older guy didn't seem like he was really prepared to do the review. I'm curious if C&D corrected their mistakes later, like some mags do.

Machs and 03/04 Cobras have Cobra/Mach/Bullitt 2 piston front and 1 piston rear calipers with 13" Brembo vented rotors front and 11.7" rear.

Damn, didn't know that. But didn't the video say it took over 160 ft to stop??

I'm just comparing that to the new 5.0 with Brembo's and it stopped in 106ft (approx)

They dont have Brembo 4 piston callipers like the 5.0's just Brembo rotors, and the 5.0 was tested at 60 mph and here the Mach was tested at 70 mph. I wouldnt take any of the information from C/D seriously though lol.
