Another quick Mach 1 vs 05 GT question
I know Ive bugged you guys alot, but i failed to mention one little detail, this will be officially my first car. I have been driving my parents two 04 GTs and two 07 GTs since i was 15, and I was driving thier focuses when i was 14. They had two focuses, then they traded them in for two 04 GTs, then traded them in for two 07 GTs. So Im not new to V8 power, but if the Mach 1 is that much better then the S197 then I gotta ask, do you still think i should stick with a Mach 1?
I really do appreciate the feedback, thank you again.

As long as you know you can control the car and won't do anything stupid that could get you killed, get the mach 1. The power difference isn't that much, so if you think you'll kill yourself with one of them, just get a V6 mustang. There fast enough and harder for you to get into trouble with. But to me it's sounds like you'd be ok with the either. TheMach 1 is an attention grabber to, so think to yourself if you want that attention. But if you'd throw a loud exhaust on the GT, they'd both be attention grabbers. I'd say the mach for obvious repetitive reasons, but you decide.

True story about the Mach being an attention grabber. When I hang out with my friends who know nothing about cars and we see a Mach they know what it is. The only Mustangs that people around here recognize are the Cobra's and Mach's, when they see a GT or a V6 they don't even notice it.They will both be quick cars but I think that the Mach looks and sounds better.

well i wouldnt get an 03-04 cobra becasue i KNOW i wouldnt be able to drive the car easy let alone really DRIVE that car, but the way you guys made it sound was the Mach 1 was the cobras little brother and makes the 05 GT look like a dog, but i guess i just over thought what you guys were telling me. thanx again guys, i really do appreciate it.
ill stick with the Mach 1...
oh and to acascianelli, i never said i have driven the new edge, idk where you got that from
