I personally say do as you want, but if your looking for cheap power, Sell that MACH! Cobra with 5K you have a 10 second car...

1. If you really want to use the IRS, you can't just use a brace. You are going to need to do the bushings too.

2. You basically just stated that it is a basically a GT with a cobra motor. You just argued nothing. All you did was back up his statement. There is more to a car than its driveline. Suspension, interior and exterior looks are different. Not as different as the Cobra but they are different.

The Cobra is one awesome stang though, fast as hell and handling like no other. But you know what, it's supposed to be...it's got a blower!

I had a 2003 Ported Cobra that was a pretty fast effin car.. but the whole time I had the car I wanted to have a Mach 1 as my Daily Driver... I ended up selling that car and several months later ended up buying the Mach... I don't miss the Terminator at all; just want to make the Mach as fast as it was, lol...

I driven both, and I have a Mach. Have had two of them actually. The SVT is strong, but I absolutely hate the IRS. IRS can be dealt with though. I'm just more into the Machs I guess.

Also, there are a lot more differences between the Mach and the GT other than the 4V heads and forged crank. Brembo brakes, Tokico shocks, lower springs, subframes, 3.55 gears, rev limits, appearence changes, exhaust, and the Mach cams are pretty fukn awesome IMO for stock equipment.

I had a 04 mach1 which I traded for a 07gt which I turned around and traded for my cobra. I like the cobra the best. If you got any question pm me because I hardly check the mach1 section.
