Yea Rebel I'll have to fix my sig soon... So glad the weak sauce 2v is gone. I had a centerforce dual friction clutch put in that car and it was hell in stop and go traffic. The Mach clutch feels like a feather compared to that thing.
Jmac why did you regret buying your Mach?

I guess it isn't that I regret buying the car. I absolutely love my car and it is fun to drive every time I get in it. It is just the fact that by now, I would have owned my GT. I still owe two more years on the Mach.
I am also got really into auto cross a few seasons ago and last season started to do track days. It would be better if I just owned the car.
I guess the plus is that my GT is owned by my father now and he joins me on track and at autocross. It is a hobby we now share together. If it wasn't for me buying the Mach, we wouldn't have that.
So let me take that back... I do not regret buying my car.

I decided to pull the trigger and trade my 04 GT for an 04 Mach 1 via the stealership on V day. I wanted a Mach ever since I bought my GT (and wanted a GT ever since i had the V6), but the money just wasn't there. Its Competition Orange with 16,000 miles, single owner, 99% stock, and mint. I can't believe how much more of a beast this car is compared with the GT. I know you've all seen a Mach 1 before, but I will try and get some pics up after I wax it this weekend. So far the only thing I miss from the GT is my MGW shifter. No regrets so far, I'll be holding on to this car for a looooooong time!

Congrats, I know I am happy that I went that route and machs are underrated there are people around my house that call and think machs are gts with a hole in the hood. Then they get mad when I beat their LS1s LOL!!

Man, you have a strong running car (probably a great driver too!!), 12.60's is just great for a few mods. Im in the 12.7-.8 range now, but it was costly just to get to that point...darn auto's lol.
