SVOKING said:You know why?? Cause I'm tired of Cobra guys blowing off the fact that the Mach 1 is a better car than an 01 Cobra. They can't say "The Mach 1 is Better..." they always have to say "Yeah the Mach 1 is faster, but not much and its still not a Cobra" Either way I know I can't win with you guys cause this is the SVT forums, but come on!! don't you guys ever give credit to other mustangs when they are better than your precious SVT? For once I would like to read a (Mach 1 or 01 Cobra) thread that said this..."The Mach 1 is a better car for the money than and 01 Cobra" or "The Mach 1 is faster than the Cobra" or "The Mach 1 has a definate advantage over our Cobras"
Thats the facts jack. Stock for Stock, Dollar for Dollar, The Mach 1 is a better car!! I'm tired of you guys ifs, ands, and buts. Oh and I know, I know...Its a drivers race right?
MACH1 isn't quicker in all situations. It is in the 1/4 mi though.
Lets try an oval track or longer track. Then the Mach isn't such an obvious winner.
It also isn't better IMHO. It doesn't have the IRS. I don't believe the IRS is weak. Walsh motorsports has a 99 Cobra coupe running 9's with a stock IRS setup.
I was suprised myself that the Mach1 runs such good times and has such great stock power. The cool thing is they've made a lot of Mach1's and they come with the engine that was in the 99/01 Cobras! Should make the mod market better for everyone.
I seen a dyno sheet of a guy at Milan that had a new Mach1 and ran 13.4 (his first time at a track). Not bad considering I ran a best of 13.6 in my 99 Cobra in stock form!
The mach1 is a sweet fast car but I'll stick w/ my car. No way would I trade in my 99 on one. NO WAY. Now if someone was going to give me a new 03 Mach1 or a used 99 Cobra I'd take the Mach cuz it is worth more $$$!
