WHAT?! ?The Shaker in my 2006 Mustang was pretty awesome, too. Jammed out so hard I blew out the speakers, actually...
I'm going to channel my dad and ask: "If you blew out the speakers, what did you do to your hearing?"The Shaker in my 2006 Mustang was pretty awesome, too. Jammed out so hard I blew out the speakers, actually...
Haha, I had the Shaker 500 in my '08 mustang. Mine also blew, but it wasn't because the set was awesome. It was because it was really terrible.The Shaker in my 2006 Mustang was pretty awesome, too. Jammed out so hard I blew out the speakers, actually...
Wow! Thank you for the review, and the pictures. I think I saw the video on youtube where your Dealer interviewed your wife on the day of the purchase.
Suntrup is in St-Louis... Nowhere near Canada...
Another one in Canada
I love it. Thanks for sharing. Of the classic Mustangs, my favorites are that exact GT350 in your driveway, and a 1969 Mach 1.
My sister could bring her mustang Mic over.
You win some kind of prize - you are the first forum member to report receiving the Mach E as far as I can tell!

POST/REVIEW FROM OUR FIRST MACH-E OWNER, PIG IRON (JIM):
Good morning All,
I'll be glad to give you a roundup of the Mach E from the very beginning. We installed solar panels 3 years ago; both to save on energy and do our part for the planet (we do have some cars that don't fit that bill but they don't get driven much at all...). We had a hotrod Golf R and I traded it straight for a '17 Chevy Bolt after it occurred to us: why not? It proved up the electric concept. We put 52,000 miles on it in 2 1/2 years. It was quick, completely trouble-free, a great commuter car (kind of like riding in a subway car...it takes awhile to get used to no engine noise, exhaust noise, transmission noise...but you do). We came to love not planning to go to gas stations weekly, going to gas stations, etc. Go home, plug in daily, always full and ready to go. Also, the only maintenance for 200,000 miles were tire rotations. Our annual electric bills at home w/ panels average $40/month with the solar panels including car (saved us $2,200 year in gas), pool, etc. Anyone that doesn't think panels work should rethink it.
Which brings us to the Mach E. We believe in electric and will say a couple of things: when range is 400-600 miles per charge, it is over for gas. And the Shelby and GT Mach E will be street terrors. First time we saw it on a thread we were on it and not because it was a Mustang or a Ford. We all have to admit it is striking. We picked it up at Sam Pack Five Star Ford in Carrollton Texas and Trey and Rueben and all the staff made the whole process priceless.
About the Mach E. It is much larger than you will expect. Don't doubt it. The interior is very nice. We have a black interior and are very happy with it. Getting past first impressions, to drive it is quite nice. As I mentioned, this is a X rwd. The Bolt we had was quick; I always said like '93 Mustang GT quick. This car I would call swift. It has a nice torquey pull and, unlike the Bolt, feels like it has a nice higher speed grunt. Unlike the Bolt, it seems to beg to be driven fast, ie, fast highway speeds. Not great for a charge but then the car has much longer range so not a big issue. One of the things I like is the Intelligent cruise control which adjusts for speed limit changes (and you can set high and low tolerances above and below). Set the cruise and forget it.
On the road it rides very nicely, especially on the highway. I would call it sporty (in the day, personal luxury car sporty); the GT will be spot on I would think. It has a minor bump in the ride on rough roads but no biggy and much better than a soggy ride, it handles expansion joints well. It is nice. It has lane centering which I have never been a fan of but lane aid (with alert off)is excellent.
I left my neighborhood a few days ago and of all things a new paper plate Taycan and an early 2000s Vette were tooling along. We zinged along from the light up a twisty with the Mach E easily keeping up the pace with moderate pedal (do recognize I know the Taycan would have turned the Mach E into metal splinters...but the Mach E did not disappoint. I know the difference).
The seats are comfortable and the rear hatch is plenty adequate. We think we love the frunk but haven't used it. The front brakes seem very large for the car, a plus. That being said, one pedal driving is excellent but I do miss the extra regen toggle from the Bolt. I really liked that for pulling the car down hard with the electric motor.
Haven't had a chance to figure out feelings on the glass roof...it hasn't been 105 degrees yet. Would kind of like a blind spot mirror and haven't exactly fell in love with only one key fob but it is early yet. Phone as Key is new to us. I have an android w/ operating system 9 and it seems like it could be better but Iphone is good (and carplay is wireless). Android auto is wireless on new phones.
Overall, excellent. I like it. And it is my wife's car. She will drive the wheels off it with no mercy...and not change oil or go to a gas station. And let people stalk it and take pics.
