The IRS is the 99/01's is not as bad as everyone says. Plus who the hell leaves their IRS stock? Maybe people that are so nuts about making their car fast and forget about beefing up the IRS and suspension. Just replace the bushings in the IRS and your all good.

It kinda reminds me of people who buy Terminators and their like omg the first thing I need to do is pulley and tune but lets forget about the weak spots on the car that can break.

I hope you find a good one. Best of luck. The shaker hood is terrific. I think you'll be very happy with a Mach 1. I've never had a car attract so much positive attention as my Mach 1.

be sure to take all the stripes and decals off of it. they look horrible IMO. the car will look much cleaner without them.

If the stripes are an issue, you might just as well get a black or dark shadow gray metallic Mach 1. They are probably the two most stealthy of the Mach 1s. Then again, some people buy a Mach 1, because it does tend to stand out....stripes and all.

I like the stripes. The whole Mach package looks good to me. You never know, a Mach 1 without its signature stripes might not be as desirable to the next buyer.

I wonder how many Mach 1 owners have taken the stripes off? I'm having a hard time picturing a Mach 1 without them.

Mach's are way sexier then 99/01 cobra's. Either car is a huge (Im talking huge like running and doing a f#cking front flip) step forward from your 98 Gt. Get one and post some pics up !
