    always loved the Mach 1 front grill with the spotties.
    So that Blue one is Mach as well, now that looks beautiful and the wheel design got to say - reminds me of a Blueprint T3
    These things look the goods now, so starting price of US50k - A$72600 + duties taxs est $83500 our money give or take.......
    Even near $90k a pill I could swallow compared to RSpec.

    Despite being less powerful (than the RSPEC) the packaging of the Mach 1's seems more complete, cohesive, and ultimately more appealing as a product.
    In saying all this I take nothing away from what Ford locally achieved with the RSPEC.

    Will take a Mach1 over a Rspec Mustang any day of the week.

    Is this coming to Australia?

    So, the Mach 1 is here. For buyers, they have a choice of going for the GT350 6 speed manual (flat changes in Race mode ), or an upgraded 10 speed auto with additional cooling.

    As a daily, the 10 speed would be hard to go past, especially in this upgraded specification, plus it also gets rev-matching.

    However, to not tick the manual option and gain access to that fantastic 6-speed manual seems wrong.

    I suspect in time the manual may also be the more desirable option.

    This may very well be the last opportunity to buy a brand new RWD, V8 N/A manual Ford performance vehicle.

    First-world issues I know, but I can speak from experience that the 10 speed in a Mustang is a lot of fun, fast and so easy to live with day to day.

    I meant in terms of NA V8 and manual. I thought we may not see that compo in the S650 although some recent reports suggest otherwise.

    The new 6.8 pushrod V8 has got my attention, but I suspect it will be auto only due to torque.

    The 6.8 isnt for S650.

    there will be a manual Coyote S650.
