Mach 1's, like all 05+ GT's also came with the 3.55 rear-end... to bad Ford did'nt at least start them with 3.73's

they are 305 HP rated, but sure, i'd bet they are underrated...

I asked about this too and a few people told me the mach 1 has independent rear suspension...or maybe that was the cobra.
the mach has a live rear axle. the cobra has the irs

Well 305? At the dyno there numbers are about 260 something. I know because i have one. The suspension is a bit different nothing to get crazy about.

ORIGINAL: ben790450Dude. You are way off. The mach one has a 4 valve engine and the GT has a 2 valve. Gt makes 260 hp and the mach one makes 320 ish i think. There is nothing too special about the mach's suspension. Its all solid rear.
Yeah, that's why the 4v motor cars are quicker than 2v's by a long shot and will respond more to mods as it will breath better and make even more power when modding the 2 motors. Mark

The mach 1 suspension is great, its a 8.8 solid axle with 3.55 gears in it. If you have a mach 1 and want it lower, just cut the springs. no need to change anything.

The Mach I has a 1" lower suspension than the GT.

ORIGINAL: aquaman720

i hear the main reason (other than the shaker scoop and engine in general) how the mach 1's and GT's are different is because the suspension is amazing on the mach 1's. im just asking if thats true or not and what the difference is. thanx
