Default 03/04 mach 1 VS 99/01 Cobra

I've been in the market for an 03/04 Mach 1 (as soon as the GT sells) but i was thinkin, what if i come by a deal on a 99/01 cobra?? What are some disadvantages/differences between the 2? Maybe cheaper insureance on the cobra due to the fact that it would be older??

Cobra will have a better ride because it has IRS. That's something else to consider. If you are going to make the car a dragster go w/ the Mach 1, otherwise I'd go w/ the Cobra. Personally I'd go w/ the one with lower miles, or whichever I get a better deal on. Both are awesome, you can't go wrong with a 32v V8 engine.

ya the mileage is something to consider for sure (most likely the mach due to it being newer) but i plan on taking the car to the track every chance i get (probably 15-20 times a year) so im not sure i want IRS...i forgot that the old cobras had it i thought it was just the termis...if i find a good enough deal on a cobra i can always swap the rear tho

Exactly as I would've said. Either are cars to be veryproud of....
