ok i really want a 03/04 cobra but i found this mach 1 for a good price.i was wondering wats the big difference i would see in the cars.

 

supercharger and completely forged internals in the cobra. mach 1 only has a forged crank

 

i just want a nice dd car with some mods.

 

Depends on your overall goals. The Cobra is going to make a much easier build since it already has all forged internals and it is supercharged stock. The Cobra also has cooler seats a 6 speed tranny and independent rear suspension. Whichever looks better is a personal preference IMO...I prefer the Cobra myself. It really depends on what you are looking for. If you have big plans in the future I would recommend the Cobra, but if you just want a nice looking car to drive around it is hard to beat the Mach 1.

 

yea just a really nice dd car with some mods to make it nice

 

i would go with the mach if you have already found one. they make nice DDs and have pretty good pick up.

 

yea found one for $15,000 with 15k miles on it

 

Terminators are better in every single way, except with the possible exception that machs come with a solid rear... But if you're into road racing, then the IRS is better anyways...

 

With this said, Are the engines on the 03/04 termi's pretty much bullit proof? Whats the life expectancy in these? I am loking at mach's but if a termi will pretty much last forever maybe i willo hold out for a termi.

 

for a dd that u want to look nice, mach 1. the cobra seats on an 03-04 arent better imo and i own one. the just look ok but dont fit very well in the car and arent really better in any way. with irs you would think a stock cobra would ride smoother but it rides the same as my gt with bbk springs in the back with coilovers in the front. if high hp is what u are after then the cobra would be better but u could get over 400whp on a mach1 w/o any real problems so its up to you. as for the six speed, i doesnt make a difference to me. its more of a 'look' its a six speed. for dd, no difference, for racing it does.
