RE: Mach 1 or Cobra
Well the Mach1 has a ram-air induction. That's what the vent on the hood is. The Cobra is supercharged. The Mach1 is about 305 horspower I believe, whereas the Cobra is 390 (depending on the year of course).

RE: Mach 1 or Cobra
Both are awesome cars. Both have the 4v DOHC engine, but like already stated, Mach has ram air and Cobra has a s/c. Tough decision because Mach 1's look awesome with the ram-air hood and are slightly more towards the rare side (at least where I live). But then the cobra has 390 hp...so...[&:]

RE: Mach 1 or Cobra
Cobra has a 6 speed too. I think the mach was underrated ('01 Cobra was rated 320hp) and I know the Cobras were under rated at 390hp... and i dont think the mach hood scoop adds any ram induction, any extra pressure coming in the hood scoop is just going to go out the fender intake.

RE: Mach 1 or Cobra
its just colder air and slightly better flow , not true ram. Ehhh the Mach 1 looks good and has 320hp i belive. Tuff choice but i guess it all comes down to Insurance and Car cost. the supercharger gives the Cobra slightly better MPG when you drive it like grandpa

RE: Mach 1 or Cobra
Mach 1 shaker hood is fully functional. And the better buy is the Mach 1 for looks it is a better car. Digital gauges are different from a gt or cobra and so are the ribbed seats. The cobra is nothing more than a race car, its very simple and down to the point interior wise, but you have a better starting block( 390hp) really put 360ish to the ground so they are underrated. If i had a choice i would go Mach1.

RE: Mach 1 or Cobra
I don't know it's a tough decision. Like everyone said, Mach 1 gives you the looks, plus it's rare. But on the other hand, the Cobra isn't exactly an ugly duckling. And you get that really cool SVT logo.
