When you compare a Stock Cobra to a Stock Mach 1, it's like comparing a 3.8L V6 to a 4.6L GT. Terminator has earned the name for a reason..

pretty much nailed it, though they both share the con of being a mustang.....

though a friend of mine has told me his 03 cobra is NOT a mustang... after being a honda guy his whole life and talking **** on mustangs he bought an 03 cobreh, when i confronted him about it he sais to me he says, its not a mustang.

Biggest interior difference would be different seats. (Cobra gets suede inserts, Mach gets an all leather seat different from the GT.) TR 3650 vs T56 transmissions. IRS. Big performance difference.

mach 1 doesn't have forged internals?

couldnt i put a better s/c on a mach 1 down the road and after adding s/c wouldn't the mach 1 out perform a termi? (assuming a better s/c was used than the stock s/c on termi)

how much of a difference between tr3650 and t56?

and does an irs make a huge difference in terms of performance?

Don't forget about price. An 03 cobra with 50,000 miles will be about 5K to 5.5K more than a 03 Mach 1 with 50,000 miles.
