I would go with the mach, i like the new edge body style better and the mach has the 4v

4v mach>3v GT

IF you are only doing bolt ons the Cobra IRS is fine. IMO I would go for the Mach, I just don't feel the S197 looks.

Depends on the money you've got as well.

It'd be easier to finance a 06-07GT brand new than it would a 03-04 Mach..

personally, I would go Mach 1....there's an Azure Blue specimen with 4600 miles here in Auburn..... mmmmmmmmmmmm

and ones with mileage in the 30-40K range are dipping into the 18K range as far as I know.. 05+ GT's are still higher than that

If blending in is an issue you'd like to avoid, you might also want to think about the Mach.

There are more 05+ GT's on the road than I can shake a stick at. They are nice cars, but I think i see more of them than 99-04GT's.

The Mach 1 will be more of a collectors car in the future if that's also something that might appeal to you.

Just make sure you're happy with whatever you choose

I see lots of 05+ V6's around where I am. I wish I saw more GT's.

If you are into heavy modding, go with the Mach 1. Just test drive both and go with your heart.
