Mustang GT PRemium 2021 to a Mustang MachE extended or GT

[circatee]

Currently, I drive a Mustang GT, and am considering either a Mac E extended, or a GT (both premium). Has anyone here switched from a ICE GT to a Mach E? If so, any weird things I should consider? Thanks

PS: I am in Atlanta, GA. As you probably know, rather hot summers (like in the 90's) and it can get a tad bit cold and snowy in the winter...

To help you get the replies you're looking for, I wanted to clarify a few things... you mention a Mach-E Extended or a GT ("both premium") - for the Mach-E, you have four trims: Standard; Premium; California Route 1 (CR1); or GT. A GT is not Premium, so that's the first problem. Then for Premium you have the four possible configurations, due to two selections to make: standard-range battery vs extended-range battery; and rear-wheel drive (single motor) vs all-wheel drive (dual motor). Both of those influence acceleration performance. For the GT trim you have two choices: your standard GT, or GT-Performance Edition (GTPE).

So on the Mach-E front, it's unclear which model(s) you're talking about. They have very different performance characteristics. A GT is close to twice as fast to 60 MPH as a standard-range, RWD Premium.

On the ICE end, the Mustang GT also doesn't say a whole lot. What model year is your car? At that point we can look at torque, 0-60 times, and so on to give more guidance.

As a general rule, I can tell you that any electric vehicle is going to feel far more responsive than a gas-powered car. 0-60 times tell only part of the story; my old Nissan Leaf could pin me to my seat up to around 30-40 MPH. My Mach-E keeps that up to around 60-70 MPH. (I haven't tried going much beyond that.) Just make sure your charging situation is set up and I think you'll find electric to be far superior.

...thank you very much for the detailed response. I certainly understand the choices a lot better now.
Ideally, it sounds like a GTPE would suffice. I will test drive a few variations, then make a decision.
Again, thanks.

I have a GTPE. The variable suspension is a game changer, totally worth the extra $5k. The seats and extra acceleration is icing on the cake. I had a GT before.

And I believe the GT PE has Magnaride, too, no?

Yes, that’s the variable suspension I was referring to.

Two main reasons I bought a GT-PE over any other trim: Bigger brakes, Magneride. ?? Well, the third is Ford's slicks for the car said that the wheels were forged. They're not. They're cast. ??
