RE: Which one to buy?

Well, since i can't find anything, i think i am going to get an 04' GT. I would like to know if there is anything i should be looking for specifically. any particular RPO's that are more desirable. rear-end ratio's? spare delete? special wheel packages? if not, then i will just go get the first one i see!

thanks again for all the help, guys!

That was a little hard to understand. First off there are no 02 cobras. Second, the mach1 peak numbers are usually higher then the cobras. Third, if you would of read my orignal post the mach1 uses cobra block, SC cobra heads, and its own custom cams. The mach1 motor comes only in the mach1.

Of course everyone will say the SVT cobra first which is the fastest. But the GT is cheap and is very very easy to modify anyway you would like it. The major differance is the engine which is a DOHC 32v V8 when the GT is a SOHC 16v V8. The Mach 1 is also a DOHC 32v V8. I do not know how easy a Mach is to mod but I would go for the cobra if you want fast and easy to mod. Also I would probally buy it used no sense loosing so much money just because it is new. I also almost walked out with a cobra but both times i went to the dealership the person before me bought it. Oh well. Good luck I am sure you will be happy with any mustang that you decide on.

IMO - that's the biggest difference. The other stuff is cool too, but getting the 32v is worth the extra bux all by itself. If I had to do it again, I'd buy the Mach.....only cuz I can't afford a Cobra.

"only cuz I can't afford a Cobra. "

Thats why i bought mine and im very happy. Even if you think the dohc engine is wort the extra money, remember you get a lot more then just that.
