Thanks guys! Thing is awesome (just listen to the freakin' exhaust! lol). Wasn't a straight trade but they gave me much more than I expected for the '04 and I paid less than Market for the Mach so it worked out. Don't really want to say what I got it for but I'm happy with my decision! Car has 49K miles on it and so far the mods I've figured out are as follows:


SLP Loudmouth I's (no doubt in my mind!)
O/R midpipe (stock gutted)
Eibach Sportlines
Tokico Shocks/struts (not sure if D-specs yet)
Steeda Caster camber plates
Steeda front swaybar
Steeda strut tower brace (2 point)
Short throw shifter (gonna assume Steeda Tri-ax but might be Hurst)
Optima Red Top (took it out of my '04 lol)
Kenwood Headunit (no sub , looking at an American Bass comp. sub )
17"FR500's with 315s out back!!!!!!

Feels like it has LCAs but I have yet to get a chance to look more thoroughly.

I think so but maybe it just feels faster with the 5spd? They both pretty much have the same mods but the Mach is lighter, has wider wheels and a little more free flowing exhaust. Advantage, Mach

I think the Mach may have aftermarket pullies. Could be wrong. I'll put a pic up later on. Just doesn't look factory. I'm certain it has stock manifolds but I'll have a better idea when I lift the car up sometime this week.
