Lots of 90 hp sleds on the trails. Lots of boosted 900s too. You keep fucking with the tank. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fireball 440 Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 For me there is more novelty factor in the Lynx than the Mach Z. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not they keep it to one season and suddenly those that bought one have another low production run sled for the collection. I'd wager the name may go but the sled won't.

Listen I get it your upset because your probably a die hard doo guy like myself but the facts are this things is a huge fucking dud. It is exactly what no one wanted that was even at all interested in wanting a new Mach. There is literally no reason to buy this you can buy the base 900t put less than a grand in a tuner and stutter box and have a faster sled with 5k left over for fancy shocks if you wanted them. The only reason someone will buy this is a collector or the guy with money that wants it for the name. All true but would you rather own a real Yenko or a clone?

A customer of ours who is in her mid 70's told me the other day that she bought a 65 GT350 new for a little less than 5g's. She lived in Georgia and raced at Road Atlanta with it in amateur classes. Needless to say that she misses it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love the 65 gt350 that’s my favorite classic Shelby. I’d take a 65 gt350r for the weekend and a 14 gt500 grabber blue black stripes for my daily if I ever hit powerball lol.

Ya I seen that the other day 3.85 million taking over the bullitt car driven by Steve McQueen. Crazy money but there was only 30 something made I believe.

Yeah, kinda like a chic with fake titties vs nats. The fakes more than likely look better but the nats feel better. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
