Not really any major plans... 4.30s, exhaust, shifter and a built rear eventually... not turning it into the Cobra.. that thing was just a monster. No inside shots yet, but it's pretty much imaculate... the car was taken care of... only imperfects are some LIGHT scratches on the spoiler and top of the trunk..
The Cobra was sold in November.. It wasn't really running right... Think the motor was going... and i didn't like spending $400.00 a year for (2) tires, among other things like the alternator that was replaced twice in a year, that was going to need a replacement also... There were a few reasons...

RE: 2003 Mach 1
Oh yeah, definatly. 4.30's with that much power I know i need at least Nittos... but, i'd just get (2) extra wheels to run them with... (drag tires that is)... but with my Cobra i needed to run them daily, or I wasn't get ANY form of traction... I mean, I burned up the stock tires within 6 months - and they were brand new when I got it.
I can still at least run stock tires and then when I run at the track, I can throw on Mickeys, BF's or Nittos...

Unfortunately, to get somewhat decent performance out of the mach, u will have to spend 400+ on tires as well. I mean, if you plan on racing it, it aint hooking on street tires enuf to get you the times its capable of doing. U can always have two sets of rims/tires to serve your racing/DD needs, but a good ole set of nitto DRs can do wonders, MT street radials (new ones) can do WONDERS and yet u will wonder why buy anything else that will leave u wondering what your car could do, right...

RE: 2003 Mach 1
Well I know 1 thing, u have one of the cleanest machs for sure and if u r like most other enthusiasts', u want the best performance possible. 4:30's alone is gonna add to your traction problems as well, so Id just add some Ntto DR's and call it a day. You can just throw some deep dish on the back and add some 315 35-17" nittos's/MT street radials and dont even have to buy front rims. Heck Im thinking of going with the DD mach one rims too, in 17" and selling my fr500's...JK.
