I am on the fence on this one, but would probably be leaning just a little bit towards the mach.

I called the dealer before I sold my car to make sure he was still in it for the deal but he had sold the mach two hours before I called (obviously due to another buyer giving a higher asking price). hmm..a mach with less than 20,000 miles that can later be supercharged and built up versus my car with 63,400 miles. Yes my car would have been faster than the mach, but after paying the mach off I would have supercharged it also. in the long run buying a mach would be more practical for me before my car starts dropping even more in value due to high mileage.
well i hear you on that... but originally u said SAVE UP and buy a mach like it was a later down the road thing ya know. u said u have already invested alot in this car and i know that has meaning to you. with that being said a mach obviously is the better car, but when you wanna throw a blower on it you will be back to square 1. you will be concerned about added stress on the motor yada yada yada... you have modded your car the way YOU want, i say buy the blower and then build the motor. good luck. where in CA you at?

Yeah I know what you mean. I love my car! I'd hate to let it go but if I find a good deal on a mach I know I'd love that even more! As far as the blower situation goes if I do decide to keep my car it will definitely be getting a built motor before anything! I'd still need to upgrade suspension, transmission, clutch, and all those fun (expensive/necessary) components later on down the road if I do decide to go rebuild. So that's why I was leaning more towards the mach. I live in Sonoma County..just north of SF. What about you??

You don't need any of those things to put on a blower. I had my ProCharger installed at 80,000 miles. Two years and 48,000 miles later its still going strong.

I vote for the Mach. I've had mine for 2 weeks and love it.
