I am trying to decide between an 03 and 04 mach or termi. I understand the ovious differences like the supercharger and shaker intake, but what are the other differences? I think I read theat the Termi has forged internals, but am not sure if that is different. I'm looking for a DD, and would love to have a cobra but I am just trying to figure out other than forced induction what is the difference since they are both 32V. My delima is I'm looking around $16-17,000 which could get a much lower mileage mach 1 and so part of it is longevity. I want something that I can have for a long time, and I just don't know if I'm shooting myself in the foot getting a termi with ~75,000 mi versus a Mach 1 with 35,000.

Thanks for all the advice!

The manual Mach's have a forged crank, everything else is powdered I believe. My ex DD's her '04 Mach rain or shine (just not snow), makes a good DD IMO. Cobra would be easier to get a LOT of power out of but then, you lose more DD reliability (so i've heard). Personally i'd pick up a Terminator if you can find one at a decent price. Love the Mach though, either 1 would be a good choice. If it had to be a DD year 'round though i'd probably pick the Mach over the Cobra. Also, Cobra has IRS, Mach has a solid axle.
