i would take a mach1 over an early cobra. i would take an 0304 cobra over either of those. the 03 04 cobras are forged from the factory while the other 2 are not. you can put a blower on either the early cobra or the mach but their potential is less than the termi until the engine is forged obviously. i would not pay 22grand for a stock mach1 either. guy at me shop paid 24g's for a 500rwhp termi with 20-30k miles on it. i wouldnt pay much more than 15k for a stock mach1/99-01 cobra.

03/04 termi, that 21K is in cobra territory

dont the Machs havea forged crank?

The 5spd Machs have a forged crank because the redline is set at 6800rpm,and the auto Machs have a cast crank and a 5800rpm rev limit.I would get into why the have different rev-limits, but that would probably ge this thread wayyy off subject

the auto tranny cant spin that high according to ford

as for the firged bottom end on the mach, and gts alike, the weaklink is the rods

That's what I read too. Last time I brought it up, a few guys didn't agree since alot of them are spinning there auto GTs over 6k. Ford must of figured it would create to many warranty repairs.

Has a few miles on it, but theres a few termies for just 2-4g more than you're willing to pay for that mach...... check it out, think it out....

21k is WAY too much for a Mach. I just paid 22k for my Cobra. I wouldn't pay more than about 18k for a Mach. If you can afford 21k, then you can afford another 1-2k and get a Terminator.

And man, 97tplsGT, wrap that link up in a short title (just hit the link button and paste the link and the title). It's even stretching my 1920x1200 resolution screen for a mile.
