i kid, all in fun here.
Re-badge them as Premium 4X+, then put out a proper GT that has both the badging AND the guts.Ford should stop production of the Mach-e GT and repossess all the ones they’ve produced and put them in a landfill and never speak of them again.
Does he have a 20+? The DCT is AMAZING! I used to miss having a manual transmission in mine, but with the manual mode and phenomenal upshifts, (not to mention not having to buy a new clutch every few years depending on how much you abuse it at the track) the DCT was the reason I traded my 2 Stage 3+ Roushes for one.Does my old man’s GT500 count? He’s still pissed about manual transmission going away…
MYP would gap you HARD from a dig especially with mid 12’s from your car and not even hitting 115 mph in the 1/4.We run almost exactly the same it would seem. Great, get that PE and get more confirmation of what we already know. ? maybe put up some 3.5s! And, no cold idle vid today but I’ll put up a cool morning 0-60 run on summer tires and TC left on:
?. Cool story Bro. Too bad there are things called mods that we ICE Troglodytes can partake in. I went from 112-114s to 115-116s with a tune/catback change. And just to make you super excited, I’m ordering an LSA kit from Boost District soon as well for 1/2 mile and 1 mile events. You know, those distances where Ys totally crap at about 120-125 and take eons to reach Vmax. Yeah. So just stay in your lane in your turtle.MYP would gap you HARD from a dig especially with mid 12’s from your car and not even hitting 115 mph in the 1/4.

Or go get your phantom “GT500R” whatever TF that is. You know, the one you’ve never posted vid clips of…
And I’m not even gonna get into the road course setup my pitiful slow SS has….
Seriously.Hey, there’s always some faster.
Side note, on ssforums it sounds like people have had real bad experiences with boost direct.
^^ They did my tune and have a great reputation.Seriously.
And thanks for the heads up, I’ve seen that too but a neighbor guy had a great experience with them for his C7. Maybe I’ll just get a complete kit from Livernois, they’re top notch.
Same here, fast responses and free tunes for life ??^^ They did my tune and have a great reputation.
That GT500 DCT is quite amazing. After converting my 64 Falcon to a toploader, I used to joke that I didn't even know how to drive an automatic. But, after getting the special invitation from Ford to drive the new 500 two years ago, I was sold. Well ahead of retail deliveries, I got to drive them on the road course and the drag strip at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. Good times! That car was ALWAYS in the right gear on the track.Does he have a 20+? The DCT is AMAZING!

Then again, I've been eyeing a new Mach 1 with the Tremec and a huge Whipple and fantasizing about the Tail of the Dragon...lol
This is exactly the question that I would like to see answered, too. However, there are several posts around the internet where people are thrilled with their MME GT or GTPE. As I said in a different forum, I am looking forward to getting my MME GTPE as soon as it comes in! It's got sporty styling, great acceleration, smooth handling with the magneride suspension and Brembro brakes, comfortable seats (as a few users have posted, but I can't wait to see for myself), elegant interior with B+O sound system, plus 260 miles range. What's not to like, 0.6 seconds slower than a Model Y in the 1/4 mile? I don't care. If Ford updates the software to allow faster 60-110 mph times in the future, so much the better, but that would be a bonus for me. The vehicle certainly seems like the nicest SUV in its class already! One owner warned that he had to pull over into the passing lane before hitting the accelerator, otherwise he got too close too quickly to the car he was passing. That seems like good enough highway passing speed for me.To the OP (and any other GT/GTPE folks that have taken delivery of their cars), is it still fun to drive? I know we have been relentlessly pounding on the car for the past few weeks, which had to have taken the bloom off the rose. This is a serious question, though. Are you still happy, or do you regret buying it? There are some people here that will have to make the decision whether to commit in the next few weeks/months, and it would be good to hear whether or not you still get giddy when you get behind the wheel. Maybe for normal, daily driving the thing delivers the goods. Thanks in advance.
I just posted my thoughts somewhere else last night too. I love it and it is well worth the money. It's quick. Lots of fun. Extremely comfortable. The Magnaride suspension feels excellent. If Ford can make this quicker in the 1/4 mile it will do nothing other than make it faster in the quarter mile. The car is still quick and great to drive, along with all the other boxes these vehicles check for us.To the OP (and any other GT/GTPE folks that have taken delivery of their cars), is it still fun to drive?
