Rendered: 2011 Mustang Mach 1

The Mach 1 package has always been one of the more desirable Mustang option packages from it's debut in 1969. The high performance package is slotted below the top end Shelby models, proving to be more of an affordable, every man's muscle car.

After seeing success in it's re-release in 2003, there is obviously speculation that the Mach 1 can live again. With the upcoming release of Ford's new 5.0 Coyote V8 producing 500hp, it's natural to think that a Mach 1 would be the natural way for Ford to debut the engine with some hype.

Edmundo Cano recently used his photoshop skills to show us all what the resulting car might look like. Naturally it's a great looking package on the new 'Stang, and hopefully Ford has something very similar up it's sleeve for 2010.

Product Review: Mach 1 Shift Knob

One of the most overlooked upgrades for any performance car is the venerable shift knob. It is perhaps the easiest upgrade one can make, and immediately changes the feel of your drive. Other than the steering wheel, nothing connects you more with the road than a good shift.

The Mach 1 shift knob is a nice aluminum piece that is modeled after, you guessed it, the knob present in the previous generation Mach 1 Mustang. Not only is it a great looking piece, but it also has a nice solid feel for those inevitable power shifts.

The great thing about the Mach 1 knob is that it fits any Mustang from '83-04'. So whether you have an early fox body or a new retro ride, this shift knob's for you.

I found that the Mach 1 piece is a perfect fit for my hand and has a very solid feel. It took all of 30 seconds to remove my original knob and replace it with this very stylish piece. It also looks great if you have other billet aluminum pieces in your interior.

Overall I'm very satisfied with my Mach 1 shift knob. I got mine from American Muscle, which has tons of parts for early and late model Mustangs. Not to mention they are currently offering free shipping, which only sweetens the deal further.
