depends what year cobra? if its 03/04 then cobra all the way. And depends what tranny you want. You can find a mach 1 in a auto.

 

I definetely do not want an auto and yes i mean the 03/04 cobra

 

03/04 cobra over the mach all day.

Mach over and other cobra.

 

exactly but 03/04 cobras cost almost 6-7k more than mach 1s

 

he asked as if he can get either. :dunno

 

If you can afford a 03/04 termi then you would be kind of dumb to chose a mach 1.
This is how i see it...
Mach 1>99/01 cobra
Mach 1>GT
03/04 Cobra>Mach 1

 

coming from a Mach owner. go for the Termi

 

Terminator would be the first choice. If not the terminator as far as Cobras go I would pick a Mach1

 

i would rather have a cobra

 

Machs are nice but you will be disappointing in the performance. They are fast but a proper bolt on GT can hang with one and cost much less. Now a Cobra on the other hand will walk all over even a full bolt on Mach 1.

 

dissapointed? highly doubt it. my buddy had a 99cobra and i would have needed full bolt ons to even run with him from a roll...imo you'll need every single bolt on to even run with a stock 4v. add all that up and you could probably just get a 4v in the first place.

a stock mach will run as fast or in most cases faster than a bolt on gt.

and a stock cobra aint walking all over a full bolt on mach 1....there are quite a bit running low 12's no prob

 

Not trying to be rude at all just asking for reasons so i can get more information what makes you say this?

 

That last post was directed to 04machsy

 

What appeals to you about the Mach 1? If its visual, you can incorporate the Mach 1 look into your cobra... Spoiler? Quarter windows? Panels? Wheels?

 

forged motor already that can withstand anything you are going to throw at it. Its already supercharged, 6 speed, etc.

 

you guys are only focusing on the speed thing really. it all depends on what the op wants in the car. if you just want a mustang that's competitive and looks good, and if you like the looks of the mach's more, then by all means go for that. but if you are looking for speed and have the extra money to spend then it's termy all the way.

 

i love the styling of the mach one the front is more curved and the shaker hood i really like, and i was just watching a video on the cobras and they say they have an iron block, i know the machs have an aluminum black, how much can the cobra motor handle?

 

cobra's dont have iron blocks.

 

basically i am looking for a nice looking mustang, i have been really looking into the whole drag racing thing lately and getting more into it and i really love it. and if i decide on the cobra i would most definitely wait and save up the extra couple thousand for that.

 

if drag racing is your focus, get the mach 1.

 

Cobra motor will take whatever you throw at it straight from the factory. It comes with forged internals. 6 speed tranny. SO EASY to get more power out of it.

One bad thing about it (to drag racing guys) is that it has independent rear suspension.

& the 6 spd.

 

lol casper... the op said he wants a standard though! he said "no auto".

 

I know that, I was just refering to your IRS comment.
but lets be real, theres a reason why every other thread on a cobra web site is either related to a sraight axle swap or an auto swap.

 

i wouldn't say drag is my focus it just is something i really like doing i love doin the whole car show/meet thing too and then just having fun on the streets is awesome too

 

OP, what kind of cars have you owned previously? for most beginners, a stock mustang gt that runs low 14s is enough. Then they get the mod bug and go full bolts and get low 13's. IMO if you dont have any experience a mach 1 or a termi is not really a car you should just jump in and start driving...

 

Ilike the look of the mach 1. What kind of numbers does the mach 1 put down? I've always wondered that myself.

 

10ryder... nice avi!!! oh and the girl is nice too.

 

Thats understandable, but this is part of the question i pose, i want to invest in this car and what i mean by that is having the car for a while, and i dont plan on twin turboing it on the stock block to blow it up, maybe boltons and pulleys and basic **** like that, and as for the power wise my moms co worker has a mach 1 and my uncle just sold his 08 super snake which was a beast

 

Thanks, I think i saw her at the game last night.

 

saying the cobra motor can take whatever you can throw at it is far from true, however it is much stronger then the mach. but if all you want is bolt ons a stock bottom end would be perfectly happy with that. i agree if you wanna drag race get the mach. i personally like the looks of termy's over any other stang. but that's me.
