And the 2021 Mustang lineup as a whole is here with a handful of changes.
Rejoice, pony car fans. The first cars from a limited batch of 2021 Ford Mustang Mach 1 models is now on its way to dealers, the automaker said on Thursday. The Blue Oval said the first cars left the assembly plant and are en route to dealers as you read this, plus it detailed a few other changes to the 2021 Mustang.
We already know the whole story surrounding the bridge-building Mustang Mach 1, but those shopping other ponies will find some changes. For instance, the latest Mustang Shelby GT500 now features an optional Carbon Fiber Handling Package. As the name implies, it adds, well, carbon fiber and more handling gear. Specifically, the package bundles 20-inch carbon-fiber wheels, adjustable strut top mounts, a Gurney flap and more.
For both the standard Mustang and Shelby, buyers can also choose to coat their cars in new Grabber Yellow, Antimatter Blue and Carbonized Gray Metallic paints. The Mustang Mach 1, meanwhile, introduces its exclusive Fighter Jet Gray hue. These aren't major changes, to be sure, but it's always fun to see Ford updating the color palette to keep the Mustang fresh. Grabber Yellow, in particular, looks quite good.
The official build and price tool is live for all Mustang models as of this morning, so you can click through and build your dream 2021 Mustang, should you so desire.
When did you lose your job?
If you want an electric Mustang-E, keep in mind that it is built in China.
If it’s not burned it’s not a fossil FUEL. It may be a petroleum product but it’s not a fuel.>>> probably not made from fossils either.
“If you want an electric Mustang-E, keep in mind that it is built in China.”
I don’t think he is Chinese!
I saw a ‘20 on the showroom floor a few months ago that was $150K. The stripe was $10K. LOL
Not bad but hey’ve smoothed away some of that great overbite.
“I saw a ‘20 on the showroom floor a few months ago that was $150K. The stripe was $10K. LOL”
Given that it is a ‘21 and just arriving at dealers You might want to retract your post!
I'll pass.
“I’ll pass.”
Why?
Really? Antimatter doesn't need batteries, it needs crystalized multi-axis dilithium!
The light under the side mirrors projected a running horse on the pavement next to the doors. very cool.

That is a cool touch. Reflects a very American understanding of sportscarness, where the cool factor gets prioritized right up there with pure functional stuff.
For 50 grand, I would buy a used corvette. way more bang for the buck. Plus I already have a ‘vette. and, for that matter, it doesn’t appeal to me. Now the original Mach 1 was my dream car growing up. I would rather have a 1969-1973 Mach1 than this one. and if we’re being honest, I’d rather a 1968 Chevelle SS than most any Ford. Most.
Absolutely.
Wait till the maintenance and service bills start rolling in!
My friend used to sell “European exotic cars” for decades in Seattle. He told me you never want to find a BMW or Audi in your driveway that is out of warranty.
This is also why used Mercedes are so cheap. They are about to get really expensive, so you save a lot of money in the front end.
“Given a choice, Id prefer this model:”
Only if you don’t care about performance, comfort and safety!
Your choice but you don’t say why.
I had a 1998 GT and also had to replace the fuel pump at around the same time. Unknown miles, because I bought it used and the odometer didn’t work.
I had to replace a lot more on it than that, and ended up selling it. But the ‘98 was a prior generation without as good a reputation as the 2000.
Of course, that’s all pretty minor compared to my last car: A 2011 Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG, which was fantastic until the automatic transmission started dying and the head gasket started leaking at 120k.
