New Owner of a 2003 Mach 1
I purchased acompletely stock, black,manual2003 Mach 1 about 6 months ago with 25,000 miles on it 
. Iwanted to pick up another car to drive for funafter my 1995 Camaro Z28 was wrecked[:@]. I'm usually a Chevy/Camaro guy (I know I'm going to catch crap for that but that's what I have always been around)butmy friends father-in-lawput it up for sale and I couldn't pass it up. I really love this car so far. Ijoined the forum when I bought the car andbeen crusing around the site and decided to finally post. The mach 1 section seems eral cool.The mach isnot quite as roughor mean as my camaro (lots of mods)butI love the look of the Mach 1's. The shaker hood is awesome. It was the main reason Ibought the car. Unfortunatly the flat blackstripe has a piecemissing in it, but my buddy is painting the whole bulge area flat black fora 30 pack when we get the chance. I wanted to paint the hood anyways so it didn't matter but it lowered the price. Since I boughtthe machI installed a MGW short throw shifter, purchased a BBK catted X-pipe (damn emissions) and a Magnaflow Magnapack exhaust (hopefully it will be in tomorrow so I can put it on this weekend). Below are a couple of pics of the mach after Ibought it. I will post more pics when I get the exhaust installed.
Yes that is a gravel driveway and its a 1/4 mile plus long. Its not my favorite but I will be moving out in a couple of months.

thats a nice and clean mach!!!! since the red line is so high i assume its a 5 speed. lower it and do the exaust and tint the windows and start saving for a blower and that 4v wont let you down!!!

RE: New Owner of a 2003 Mach 1
Thanks for the comments. I just got my exhaust today, so it should be on before I hit the track on thursday. I'm going to Summerduck its about 5 - 10min from my gf's house. First time ever racing at the track.
