Need some advice/info
I am considering selling off the 06 and buying a specialty Mustang or Lightning. What are the strengths and weaknesses of the Mach 1? Do they break rear ends? Do they hold value because my 06 value is sinking like a stone. There is one with about 60k miles on it (I live in Canada btw) for $15,000 at a stealership here so I figure that I could get one for about $13k private sale. This one is black with black stripes. Actually if you want to see it, it's on autotrader.ca in Ontario. I race sometimes on weekends and what could I expect to run stock in the 1/4?
Any help would be appreciated because i don't know very much about this car or the 4V motor.

strengths
alum block/ heads
4v
faster than a S197 stock for stock
the looks
Weaknesses
Gt internals
Non IRS
i'll let other chime in on other crap, b/c i can't think of all of it right now.
No vehicle is going to hold it value...i think the only one that has held it's value is the ford GT.

Strengths:
Looks
Limited production
4V instead of 2V
Aluminum Block
Tokico struts
Solid rear axle(great for the strip)
Weaknesses
28 spline axle's
Coil on plug ignition
plastic Ford rattletrap
Other than that, I love mine

I thought they had weak axles. I just think they will hold the value better because of the limited production. The value of my 06 is dropping like a stone right now. I am upside down as far as loan book value go to the tune of 6K. It sucks. But what are you gonna do.

FWIW,
your 3v heads are more efficient in design than ours. we flow higher numbers, but your heads flow more consistently (for lack of a better word)....not to mention a HCI+bolt on +tune S197's are reaching up into the 370rwhp mark now with some of the livernois stuff.

Thanks guys, I live about a 30 min drive from Livernois Motorsports so . They have some crazy stuff in that facility. I made a bad deal when I bought the 06, so I have to get out from under the payment. But the opinions are much appreciated.
