Newer isn't always better?

I was looking at the Mach's yet they're quiet the rarity. Also most are selling for 17k$+.

edit: I saw a 01 Mustang cobra with 22k Miles for 14k$. Waiting on the carfax now. Is it easy to S/C the 01 snakes?

I think the 4v's are badazz, rather its a mach or cobra only matters in body styles and production #'s.

Go with whichever you want. They are comparable speed with a slight advantage to the mach because of a little weight and launching IRS. The Cobra is going to be cheaper than the Mach but some like the Mach appearance better. 99 Cobras could be mistaken for a v6 or GT from 99 because the rear bumper says "MUSTANG", the side scoops are the smaller ones and the hood is the 04 V6 hood. Us mustang people would know it was a Cobra though.

Basically buy whichever you can afford and whichever you want. They will offer comparable performance.

01 for the win

swap out the rear for a solid.

personnaly the only reason why i think machs are faster is because the 3.55's compared to the 3.27's and the solid compared to the irs.

swap them out and i believe the cobra will beat a macg stock for stock.

BUT there was already a big argument we had. either way 4v is a 4v

I would say they are comparable if you swapped in the 3.55 solid rear with a Cobra. It would be a drivers race.

But this argument occurs weekly.
