everyone expects a cobra to be fast. they dont expect it from a mach so when you surprise them its even more fun. plus the mach is more rare and looks better IMO and shaker hood FTMFW! i wouldnt complain with either tho lol

I have to agree the Mach looks better. The OP's azure blue one is beautiful! Forge your internals and add generous boost. I'd rather drive a boosted, forged Mach than a termi IMO.

When I settle down and have some real funds coming in, I swear on my life I'll end up with a Termi in my garage... right beside the Mach.

I have read of a number of Mach 1 swaps to the Terminator motor and drivetrain. So your rationale is well understood. There is no denying the classic Mach 1 look as being special. Which is why some would prefer to just do the swap. And I would guess that doing a swap is easier in the long run than building the Mach 1 motor. Which is why folks do it.

I'll see if I can get the name of someone who has done it and forward it to you.
