Default 03/04 Mach 1 or 98 Cobra??

Hey guys, just curious, what would be a better buy? I'll be in the market for a 4V DOHC Stang soon, hopefully by the summer to replace my 03 GT, so which should I go with??? I'm tied up on this one

Get the Mach. Better transmission, steeper gears to being with, better flowing heads to begin with, and stock times are quicker on the Mach. I think I would take a mach over any cobra but the 03/04 honestly. And thats coming from someone who loves the 97 cobra

Another thing, what gives the 04 Mach an extra 5 hp?

The Mach has so much potential, but the '98 Cobra is (IMO) one of the SEXIEST Mustangs ever made.

That would be nice, but definitely out of my price range. The Mach is attractve because its only a couple grand on top of what i could get for my GT with similar mileage. (27K on the clock)

Code, that's what makes me love the Cobra so much. And it would be a lot cheaper than the Mach so I would have a lot of room for modifications. But I love the Mach too, such a difficult decision, thank God I don't have to make it yet.

A '98 Cobra is on my list of future Mustang purchases. I just love 'em.
