I"d take the 03 Mach 1 or the 03 Cobra. I had a 98 cobra and my roommate had an 05 STI with the turbo. The STI was fun to drive and the AWD was a bonus in the snow, but it all depends on what you want. If you want handling and AWD for the winter and snow, then go with the STI. If you want straight power and looks, I'd take one of the stangs.


By the way, those big *** wings are ugly.

Definately get the 03 mach...sounds like it's more in your price range and it looks better taken care of and has less miles then the 04 mach. You also might wanna look at some 01-02 T/A WS6's or firehawks....pretty good cars and run even with the machs.

STI's are nice but look too ricey IMO...sounds like you're more into muscle cars anyway

ok i've got it narrowed down to the 03 mach 1 and the red 03 cobra. i guess its gonna come down to how much money i feel like spending. i really want to get the cobra even though its alot more money but i figure if i was to put a supercharger in the mach i would end up spending right around the same amount anyway.
so basically now i ask you all to tell me some of the first important mods i should put in. i know i'm putting in a new exhaust for sure but what else is important to go in early.


thanks for all the help you all have given me

Yes, verts weight more than the coupes. Therefore, stock for stock the vert is slower than the coupe.
ya, but nothin beats dropin the top on a nice day
