Buying the car but not tracking it at all is just plain stupid - unless you like paying $5000 for a silly decal that says 'Mach 1' on it, and there are people who like owning several Mach cars just to say they do - mini "collectors" if you will.

Otherwise you can buy a 52K stickered GT Premium for 44k all the live long day and add the vinyl graphics and have the same thing. Once the Mach1 is in the pipeline I might buy the trans and it's cooler from the parts sites and retrofit to my '19. I already have the BoM for the diff cooler which will be located internal to the car and installed by a shop for 1/2 the price of the kit if I bought it from Ford. I hope to work with Steeda to marry up a race radiator and mondo oil cooler into a nice, clean single-row solution.

The trans swap would be something that would interest me as well since it would be from an s550 to an s550 and oem components such as the drive shaft and mount would be readily available. I wish they had gone with a tr6060 though, the 3160 is weak and fragile. Since my car is boosted now I'll provably just go with a ben calimer built mt82 since it's the most convenient thing to do or t56 magnum swap if I want to make my life harder lol.
