Well I borrowed Dan's mach 1 for the day.It was a lot of fun,I got more attention in that car than I do in my Cobra.Exhaust and it being yellow made sure of that.The mods include;4.10s,tires,sub frames,chip,full exhaust,battery relocated,and 75 dry shot.I did not use the nitrous per Dan's request.The car can move and is intimidating.A C5 vert owner wanted to play but when I jumped out ahead he quickley shut down and turned off.I really think I could have taken him all the way to triple digets.Later on I met up with a couple of guys from this site with Cobras and the mach held its own.I even managed to run toe to toe with an 03 all the way to 4th.I already liked the mach,but now I have even more respect for what these cars can do.All in all a fun day that I will remember for a long time.:thumbsup:

Thanks for that report buddy......you never know how a car is until you actually spend some time in the car. People 03 Cobra owners hear 305 hp and think they are way above that with their 390 hp.....but from me owning both...the 03/04 Cobra is not that far ahead...which to me is amazing since the Mach 1 still is N.A. Ford did do their homework on this car. Thanks again....

Interesting comments Bill. Glad you enjoyed the ride. I would like to here the Mach owner's impressions too.
BTW I've had the Blue Mach since Dec and had my first kill today.
Smoked a BMW 740 coming off Summerlin Pky on 215. What a rush...

Good kill! The owner of the mach 1's name is Dan,and he knows who you are from the mach 1 registry.

You Mach guys are tighter then the Cobra guys in town, I have yet to run into any Vegas 03 Cobras however I know a couple from when I had my 99, its good to see some organized Mustang groups in Vegas.

Add a little boost and watch what happens to a cobra. The look on their faces when an Automatic Mach 1 stomps them is priceless :thumbsup: I have found that most Cobra owners think they are unbeatable when they do any type of moding to their cars.

In most cases...the 03 Cobra is hard to beat..even in stock form. Way to go Ford!
