Mainly? Mach1 has a 4 valve per cylinder engine (2 intake 2 exhaust) vs the GT which has a 2 valve. There is obviously a lot more than that but thats the biggest.

And the Mach1 looks cooler with its functional shaker hood scoop.

also the mach1 w/ manual tranny has a forged crankshaft. mach has alot more cosmetic differences as well.

biggest and main thing is the 4v motor, revs higher and makes more power stock and mod for mod than a 2v motor.

I thought that the shakerhood scoopwas mainly cosmetic as well. Doesn't it add like 3-5 hp? lol

They have the 4v engine which is a sweet engine, better suspension, better looks, different rims, different interior and a few other things. All that really matters is the 4v engine. lol

The hood scoop on the machs is all looks, i swear it can't do anything. It routes air to the airbox... Machs come with a 3.55 gear and larger brakes, also.

well at higher speeds (90+ mph) ram air does become functional. until that point its more or less just a really long cold air intake. you might get slightly cooler air than a fender well CAI...but it looks pretty restrictive to me. i say it does nothing but you have the right to say its functional compared to our cars.
