Default I need your help lol

I'm in a little dilemma... I am very close to having to settle for a gt instead of a mach 1 because my dad thinks they are the same car besides some stripes and a hood scoop! I have tried to explain the long list of big differences between the two but I cant get it through his head. I am starting this thread with hope that you guys can get through my dads thick skull... and believe me, its thick lol. Any input is appreciated! Btw I am buying it with my own money... no help from mommy and daddy

Shaker, 4v engine vs. gt's 2v. When I was looking for mine, a dealer had a 04 gt with like 40k miles. It road like crap and the interior sucked. Immediately after, I drove a 04 Mach 1 and it felt SO much better. Just felt like a better built car. Also, remember the Mach's will have a better resale value.

Yeah the resale value in a few more years will start going up for the really nice, taken care of Mach's. They will be in the next generation of classics. Plus I plan on keeping this car my whole life, or as long as I can.

that mach is a good price. If you can't afford a Mach1, get a 97-98/01 cobra.

I know its killing me! There is an 01 cobra a little closer... Trying to talk him into taking a look at the cobra too. I want a 4v engine! Is there anything wrong with the 99 cobra, i noticed you didn't mention that one?

Just make sure the 99 has the recall done.
