2015 Ford Mustang: Mach 1

   I've heard a rumor that a 2015 Ford Mustang Mach 1 Might join the Ford line-up, once again.  Ford hasn't pushed out a Mach 1 in ten years.  This is a mustang with a blast from the past with a modern touch of technology.  This one is for the masses.  I expect this car to sell, sell, sell.  From the renderings I've seen, I just know this car will be turning heads everywhere.  The 2015 Mach 1 combines most of the old traditional features in the new, like the tri-colored mustang emblem in the grille (which I love), the Mach 1 side stripes, the black hood painted scoop and functional hood vents, which just comes together so nicely. 

  You can definitely see the history behind the vehicle.  See the distinctive front-splitter? (fig.2) ...that is something that is reserved for specialty cars with hood scoops.  But what is more interesting is what lies underneath those hood scoops. 

  The original Mach 1, a 351 cubic-inch V8 with 2 barreled carburetor came standard for 260+ horsepower.  Or a 428 cubic-inch Ram Air Cobra V8 with 335 horsepower and 450 foot pounds of torque.  But the people at Ford have something else in mind for the new Pony.  Supposedly its supposed to be powered by the Rumored Voo-Doo engine, which is above the Coyote 5.0L V8 currently in the GT models.  The Voo-Doo comes with 2 turbochargers, (yes u heard right).  If what I heard is correct, a 180-degree crankshaft is in place.  Because of the new crankshaft you should be able to get increased power and better throttle response, unfortunately there's a down flaw to this; the vibration of the engine will be increased and might cause problems and will require very, very careful engineering.  This is why you mainly see these engines in high-performance Italian sports cars. 

  As for the power of the car, you should get close to 550+ horsepower.  In the original Mustang Mach 1 some power was held back due to the solid rear axle.  Thanks to the new generation of Mustang, that will be getting a new fully-independent front and rear suspension, no power will be held back...ladies and gentlemen...prepare for lift off.  I think its safe to say that the new Mach 1 is cool, but is exquisite with the Rumored Voo-Doo engine.  I would love to get my hands on one of these cars, I just hope Ford makes it live up to its potential.
