Thanks, but i'm a proud owner of a '02 GT and '95 v6 DD... I moved to a different forum a while back so I'm not on here much at all. But I would like to get opinions from different forums to see how the answers vary.

Take the 15k and dump it into you're GT and you'll have a way faster ride than either car you are looking at.

They have a good flowing intake and if it wasn't for their relatively "weak" intake cams they would make very good power stock. A few bolts and traction and there have been people hitting high 12s.

I would rather get an auto Mach 1 but it would be fun to throw some 4.56 gears and spin the crap out of the manuals

the castings are the same, but the hardware and cams are different.

regarding the interior comment (not you wannagofast), i wouldn't go so far as to call it "nice". its the exact same interior as the GT minus the seats. still pretty basic.

I love the look of the Mach's more than a Cobra (stock).....but it seems when people do some tweeking in the looks department to both, the Cobra begins to have a slight edge.

Can't go wrong with either one, they are priced very well these days. You get what you pay for!

Machs are going for the same price as 03/04 Cobras in my area 18k-20k with around 40-60k miles. The Machs that are going for 14-15k around here have a **** load of miles (90k-110K)and I'm almost insulted people are asking so much for that high of mileage.

I'm a big fan of the mach 1. People really tend to underestimate them. Get the mach and spray it

the cobra and the mach are both great stangs...it really depends on what your looking at. if you wanna build and go fast quick go the cobra route. if you want a unique mustang that you can still make pretty quick go with the mach. personally i'd get a mach.
