The 2021 Mustang Mach 1 is the ultimate version of the Mustangs 5.0 V8, Ford claims. The Bullit is out, the Mach 1 is in. With 480 horsepower and 460 lb/ft torque, the Mach 1 is no slouch. But the power is not the most exciting aspect of this car. That would be the amount of parts that are shared with the Shelby GT350(R) and the GT500. Suspension is rigid, downforce is substantial, and of course, the exhaust is deafeningly loud. With a base price of $51,000 ($61,000 as tested), does the Mach 1 Mustang offer daily drivability while maintaining the track focused intentions of the more powerful Shelby’s?

Let’s address these one at a time. Is it daily drivable? Absolutely. You can set the exhaust in quiet mode, turn on your cooled seats, and cruise in a softer suspension in normal mode during your traffic induced commute. Diving into the interior, the infotainment can definitely use an update since the design feels outdated and less exciting than the rest of the car. Although it works well, there is just a lack of sexiness and overall appeal. The rear seats? Let’s not mention those. After all, this is a Mustang, notorious for awfully cramped rear seats. But rest assured, you do have somewhat usable space for smaller people, which earns a point for daily drivability over the Shelby’s with deleted rear seats.

Now for the exciting part, the drive. Before anything else, I immediately noticed how sharp and sensitive the steering is. The slightest bump in the Mach 1 Mustang can send you in the wrong direction, especially at full throttle. Keep both hands on the wheel, and turn up the active valve exhaust for the most smiles. The power is explosive, as is the case with every special Mustang. Confidence is high due to manageable power and borrowed suspension components, tires, and transmission from the more powerful Shelby’s.

Overall, this car is a tremendous combination of daily excitement and laser focused canyon carving. Watch the full video to see if I recommend the purchase of this car over the other Mustangs.
