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.
cobra vs mach 1
- Thread starter mustang03v6
- Start date
Other that cosmetic differences to the interior/ Exterior ...
Cobra:
- Independent Rear Suspension (IRS)
- Stronger Motor (Manley rods and forged pistons from the factory)
- Supercharged
- 6 speed
- "390" HP
Mach 1:
- 4V NA motor
- 5 speed
- Solid Rear axle
- "305" HP
Cobra is faster in stock form and much easier to mod. Mach's are still nice cars and can be made fast but not with as much ease as a terminator.
Both are a good buy, Just depends on your HP goals and preference.

Like comparing a grape to a raisin.
im just looking for a really badass dd car
The Mach 1 could fill that need very easily.
i mean if i do some easy mods will it make it a nice car.im talkin about exhaust,headers,cai and others
Go with a cobra best car I had
Mach 1's are great Mustangs but not in the same league as a Terminator.
However they can run strong with a few mods.
Thats funny!! Machs are great cars, but when you say you are looking for a bad ass DD, then conversation is OVER. No need to look further. Cobra has that department sealed up. Period!! These cars are so easily pushed over 600 rwhp. It is really kind of ridiculous actually, if you really think about it.:dancenana:
ok.
but right now you can score a Mach super cheap. i saw a clean 04 Mach with really low miles for about $12k. throw on a vortech or procharger and you'll be very happy. im not saying the mach is better or even equal to a terminator but there are a few factors that come in to play. a mach is cheaper to get into, cheaper to insure and already has a solid axle, which seems to be a very popular mod with cobra owners. machs are also quite a bit lighter as well.
my friend was in the same dilemma as you. he scored a clean mach 1 for really cheap so he jumped on it. it now has a vortech and he's added quite a bit more and is very happy with it.
and more a sleeper to, if that's what you like. most people dont expect a mach 1 to lay the smack down.

Add 100rwhp to a cobra and you spend $1,500
Add 100rwhp to a mach and it will cost over $4,000
Add 200 rwhp to a cobra and it will run $4,000
Add 200rwhp to a Mach and you will spend $8000 for a TT if the engine can handle it.
Spend $8000 on a TT set up for the Cobra and your over 800rwhp.

well, the IRS is one of the major reasons why I bought an 03 Cobra instead of any other Mustang...
as for weight.. lets see
Mach1 3465 lbs
Cobra 3665 lbs
so the extra weight of the cast iron block, supercharger/intercooler/6 speed tranny and IRS only adds 200 lbs to the car..

i assume you mean something that easily runs 11's or even 10's.

with a twinscrew
or tt

u guys think it would eat the same gas as the cobra.also i just want a badass street car not a track car.
Probably about the same under the same driving conditions. You could DD a 600 RWHP Cobra all day and night with NO problems as long as it is tuned right.
IRS>SRA for the street. The IRS alone made my decision. But, the 400+ hp supercharged awesomeness didn't hurt. I love my Cobra as a DD - and the roads I drive on every day are in need of serious work. Try getting from an SN-95 with a SRA.
