4v>2v. Common knowledge man. Why you even asking? But seriously, id trade my car in any day even with negative equity to get a mach 1 without question. Im soooo over the 2v. I want a mach or 96-98 cobra...not a fan of the 99/01 cobras. Their IRS's suck and you are going in a straight line so it would be even worse for you. But i say GO FOR IT!!! No more questions. I declare this topic closed.

Its all about preference between mach1 and 01 cobra. If you want straight axle get the mach and be happy. If you want a road racer then get a cobra for the irs. You wont go wrong with the 4v. Just remember if you ever get serious moding then parts are more expensive but youll have a faster car in the end. The only reason i got my 2v was cause it was low miles and cheaper if you look hard enough you can find a great used unmolested one for the cheap cause its a buyers market. Since you are a straight line kind of guy id get the mach and call it a day. Hard to beat the look and cool hood scoop. Id personally just stay away from the 99 cobra and go for the 01 if you can. 4 cams beats 2 any day of the week lol.

Machs with suspension, gears, and drag radials are well into the mid 12's. Especially if you consider you were running nearly a fully second faster than the average stock times in your GT.
You ought to be running mid 12's with nothing more than the same mods on your Mach as the GT.
*I do find it crazy that anyone can still owe 11K on an older car like that, but I guess that's what a sick APR will do to you*
Good luck. *and don't rule out '96-'98 Cobras either*

That's true, but it might be harder to find a 5.0 Cobra.
Plus, dime already had a 5.0. He said, *and I'm completely making this up*
:-)
I want a 5.0 in addition to my New Edge though :-(
