i dont own a mustang yet but im hopefully looking to pick up a GT or the mach1 if the price is nice enough. you mach1 owners, glad you got the 305 horses instead of the GT's 260?

welcome to the forums. this question is better suited for mustang 4.6 .

I think so, although if you get the prices down a GT will cost 5-6k less seeing as they won't want to mark down the Mach. But if you're into going fast and being different go for the Mach.

I perfer the GT over the mach. Take that extra cash and supercharge the GT.

Mach1

Hell ya the mach is worth the extra $$$. When i went to buy my stang, i had the choice of 20 for the gt or 23 for the mach. The mach was good for me cuz i dont want to do too many mods and i want to keep my prem. warranty good. Its all a matter of opinion though. The GT is a really nice car, but if your gonna stay close to stock the mach is a lot quicker. Plus with the mach you got a very unique mustang with a great history. The main difference is the engine, 3.55s, suspension, (Mach is lower with heavier springs, has sfc and tockicos) the pbr brakes which i really like, the look is really awsome to.

thanks for the responses, what if i plan to mod the mach1 just as much as a GT?

Mach1

Id personally go with the gt. This is just my opinion but mach1s are a little more rare so its cool if more of them are stock. Machs usually run low-mid 13s, gts are high13-low14s so itll give ya an idea of where your gonna start.

i was reading on the mach1registry forums that b/c the mach1 has the "R" in the VIN number, the insurance is higher... ?
