Opions on 03 Mach1 please
What are your opions on an 03 Mach1 ?
A local dealer has a yellow one, auto. trans with only 8,000 miles on it.
I'd rather have a 5 speed, but the wife wont drive one.
They want $20,300 for it, is this a good deal?
I really like the looks of the outside, the interior is not that great to me, especially the shifter area, but my wife likes it.
We drove it, I was very disapointed in the power it had, its rated at 305 hp, but my 85 GT with 300k feels about the same, but not nearly as smooth though.
I had a hard time breaking the tires loose even with traction control off, even then it would only spin a foot or so. It did sound good.
Any issues with this model?
Is this a highly sought after car?
Thanks for your comments...

The Mach would definitely be much more powerful than the older GT but I know what he's talking about. these new OHC engines feel different than the pushrod engines until you get used to where the power is.
Personally, I would avoid the auto Mach anyway.
