CAI and tune seem to do wonders for both cars. Or a full exhaust system from the headers back would be good gains. Maybe suspension work? lol

Depends on what you want to do. Me, I have did almost nothing except suspension work to my car. I am not really concerned about power as much as being able to have a car that can somewhat handle.
well by the sounds of it, the mach 1 is plenty good enough for me in the quarter mile, besides i want a car built for the road cousre, so what would be the best parts for making the mach handle like its on rails?

If your gonna upgrade, you want the current body style, the Mach is a sweet looking car though and cheaper.


I wish Ford would put a 6.* liter in the cobra, and the 5.4 in the standard Mustang Gt.

4.6 Being the standard option. The 4.6's lack torque N/A, one of the reasons I have not bought one, the other being the 2009 Redesign.

well im not looking to do crazy upgrading, the less the better, in saving money i mean. i just want a car that will handle to the best of its abilities. im more into road cousre racing, but this car seems to do just fine on the drag stripe too.

and thank you boduke, so are those the ones i should worry about first?

If you want a handling car the 05 GT's have a pretty decent suspension that can be built upon. Look at some Griggs video's to see what the new GT is capable of.

The Mach has an ok suspension that can be built upon too. TheS197 has a better suspension than the SN95 chassis.

Personally I want the Mach because I am wanting to get into road racing too. I have just about everything that you can do to a car and still keep it semi comfortable for street driving. The S197 chassis has a pretty decent following behind it for suspension components too.

Steeda is making the QS6 that has a near perfect weight distribution for road racing and race tracks. It is a supercharged V6 that has around 350-360hp and has nearly all of the Steeda handling parts.

Looks like a landslide!

I thought maybe I was being bias when I voted , but then I looked at the results.

go Mach, go!

I voted Mach, for obvious reasons. I've ridden in a few 05+ GTs and they're cool and all, but there's nothing like having a rare Mustang with a 4v to build on.
