Default 2003 MACH 1 VS. 2001 COBRA

hey guys i am thinking about trading my gt in and i found these two which seem to be really good deals j/w which is better, faster, i doubt i will be doing any more modding, so that is why i don't want to keep the GT and it is just too slow. do they have the same motor? would it be better to get the Mach 1 which has less miles (45k compared to 60k) or the cobra?

The Mach 1 has seen lower times by a tenth or so, but in reality they are about the same IMO. A lot of people bitch about the IRS in the pre-teminator cobra's, but I don't think its a big deal unless you drag race your car every day of the week. I hear the IRS has a smoother ride on the street....but don't be a *****, do some small bolt ons at least.

lol, they are both going to hold their value very well. They both look very good too, although its hard to beat the shaker system looks on the Mach's.
