03 CObra motor in a Mach 1?

This seems very suspect. No picture of the motor in the car, nor do they tell how they are acheiving 525 HP from the 03 Cobra motor....

Still looks kinda nice, but I'll stay with my 03 Cobra.

i agree. it would be good if they actually showed the important stuff like the engine.

I don't doubt it though. It would be the best of both worlds.

but then again... I love subtlety of our Cobras

They probably mean 525 bhp... with a 15% drivetrain loss which is a bit optimistic they could get that with a basic pulley swap, exhaust, cai, etc...

Cool find btw :beer:

Now that's a sweet Mach 1

I don't like the way it looks, but the 525hp is nice.

I looked at the Mach I but I thought the rise rate of the hood lump leading up to the shaker was too steep.

I don't doubt them at all...I've visited their facility and CDC is a quality company run by some very nice people and they have good Detroit connections...

I believe we're correct to call BS until we see the goods. This would be similar to the Chevy lightweight guy lying about his mods in another thread.

that's a pathetic comparison

this is a company that is known for quality work, not an ethereal Internet poster...

in case you didn't realize it, there are many "one of a kind" vehicles running around Detroit :thumbsup:

Exactly... They rate that as Crank HP...

I'm I missing something??

considering the price of a mach1 is about 4,000 less then a Cobra, wouldn't it be cheaper to make an 03 Cobra look like a Mach1? Body parts and paint vs 12,500 dollars for a stock 03 motor

 

[MattNCSU]

I really find it impossible to put a SC'd motor in the Mach1, then have the shaker still in place. The sc is too tall for you to put a shaker on without huge changes, and that Mach1 looks like it has a stock hood and shaker (minus the black paint).
No way there's a sc on that Mach1!

 

[ALA G8R]

I like the look of that Mach 1. But I agree with MattNCSU, it would be tought to put the shaker scoop on top of the Eaton.

yes, you're missing something...its not always about $$$

I'm gonna try to track this thing down and see if I can get better pics

 

[JKD COBRA]

MattNCSU hit the nail on the head. Its still got the shaker hood, how or why would they attach that to the blower.

 

[KenCobra03]

Why is it that they didn't show a pic of
the 03 Cobra engine? Isn't that what
this custom Mach 1 is all about?

 

[ObieFox]

You all are foolish to doubt CDC's word. They do a bunch of custom work for ford (like build the mach one concept I believe). They also had three '03 motors that they sold in the last few months. If anyone can pull it off it's CDC.

KO

Looks good...Real good...

I've looked at a couple of Mach 1s. Nice looking car. I just don't personally like the wheels, dash guages and shaker hood scoop. Don't get me wrong. I like the idea of the shaker hood. It just would look better on the car if the hood were a bit flatter. From certain angles it just doesn't look right. Now the Cobra SVO hood is a horse of a different color. That works really nice with the curves of the car. But getting back to the car, a modded Cobra motor in a Mach 1 with a solid rear axle must romp big time. And I love the side exhaust. I'd love to get it for my Cobra but I'd have to do something about the empty rear cutouts in the bumper. I might also have a clearance problem getting into my driveway. LOL!

My only dealing with CDC....I called them to find out about the Pulley cover since it had been on "back order" for 6 weeks. I called and said 2 more weeks, nope, I called in 2 more weeks....said that it would be 2 more weeks and gave them all my info except CC info to get me one when available!!! That was 4 weeks ago, I dont think they nor I care anymore. This was my deal, hope someone else faired better.....Its allright though, I make sure they cant sleep at night................

Whata you know, just went to the site and the covers are available!?!?!? Their sweet, guess they got tired of bad dreams???
