@stang101: yeah the cobra's can easily chirp them, ive done it. Like i said b4 i got the pleasure of cruisin around with a mach1 and i have to say from a stand still soon as i hit 2nd i pulled away of him, and form a 35mph roll i did the same. im pretty sure he was bone stock, at the time i only had a 65mmtb and cai. so im kinda partial to the cobras.

 

You're friend needs to practice. The Cobra in question is a fine car and is very quick, but there are several improvements that make the Mach a good bit faster. He should of pulled on you.

 

Well... called the guy on the Cobra today, and it sold[:@]. I knew it wouldn't last to long[&:]. Looks like I might be getting the mach now.

 

wow 11k miles... if you don't buy it you should be beat with a large stick. Autotrader.com look for 96-98 cobras.. find any with miles that low and a price tag to match let me know.

 

+1 for the mach. Depending on what you want to do with the car, the mach 1 has a solid axle, sub-frame's, higher compression to respond better to bolt-ons, mach with 3.55's vs cobra 3.27's, 03/04 cobra heads they are better for boosted application's, better stock stereo,and its newer. But thats just my 2 cents.

 

If you're going to clean your bank account out for a mach, don't do it. You all know the cobra is way sexier, and it's easy to make up that power difference between them. I really wanted an all black cobra, but I found a siiiiiiick deal on a laser red one (dark red), and it is one of the nicest looking cars on the road and sexy as hell. The deal also left me with 2 grand in extra cash to do every modification interior and exterior I wanted (besides supercharger) (crying in the background) that wasn't already done. My 2 cents is to wait for another one of those perfect deals. You'll know when the right car calls out your name. I waited, and got my dream car (affordable dream car for now) and this cobra is all I could ever ask for, as well as the loudest damn car in the city lol

The interiors may be a little plain on the cobra, but hey, who cares!! You add a nice cd/mp3 player, some gauges, new shift **** to go with the sts, bullit pedals, new cobra floor mats, and your golden. I feel sorry that you missed that deal, you wouldn't have regretted it.

 

Get the Cobra dude!!! Spend the extra $$$ on some mods and personalize it. 11k is rare for a rare ride.

 

IMO the Cobra with only 11K miles is a great deal. And I'd choose it over the Mach 1. As far as the interior of the Cobra, it wouldn't be hard to spruce it up with aftermarket seats and maybe a bit of trim modding. If the Cobra was higher mileage I'd say the Mach 1. But everyone has their own preferences and if you like the styling of the Mach 1 then I'd go for it. Either way you win IMO.

 

Def buy that car. They're pretty quick with mods. I don't really ever race or beat on my cobra but no one has beaten me around here yet.


EDIT: Sucks that it sold

 

If it were me, I would either wait and save up some more before I bought the Mach I, or I would search around on the net and see if you can find a nice 96-98 Cobra with decent miles and a good price. They are still good cars and very sharp looking on the road.
