    Whats quicker? Mach1/2001 Cobra

    It takes quite a bit of bolt-ons to hit 300+ rwhp on an '01. I had: JBA 1 5/8" ceramic headers Magnaflow catted X-pipe Magnaflow Cat-back Steeda U/D pullies C&L Hi-Flow Maf & K&N filter WMS ceramic TB to MAF tube FordChip custom tuned EEC and my ending dyno was like so: I'm...

    Whats quicker? Mach1/2001 Cobra

    Look at the graph again - the rwhp advantage (and where the peaks are made) in addition to LOTS of extra torque for the '03 4V throughout a good deal of the powerband tell the tale... The extra toque is why the newer 4V engine really gets the Mach moving. The other improvements - better...

    03 cobra vs z06

    Yep, that's her. I'm reasonably certain that the outcome of the Z06 race had a litle to do with her getting a KB... :p

    03 cobra vs z06

    Ok, I was wrong about the rwhp numbers (BIG TIME!) - that's what i get for relying on my failing memory... :p Here are some quotes from the Z06 owner: Guess you just have to attribute her loss to: poor aerodynamics (Top UP anyone???) too much weight (4000+ lbs with her & hubby...

    03 cobra vs z06

    No, the Cobra wasn't mine, but I know the girl who owns it. If I remember correctly (I may not - it was a long time ago :p ), that Z06 was ~ 600 rwhp & the race was a "set-up" of sorts where she wasn't told all the mods it had. She had a bunch of stuff in the trunk, top down & obviously a...

    03 cobra vs z06

    Not exactly a great video for the '03 Cobra vs. Z06 debate, as the '03 Cobra was NOT STOCK... (It had a chip/pulley/etc & ~ 450 rwhp/500rwtq) But neither was the Z06 either... (Heads/cam/etc if I remember correctly & ~ 700 fwhp/unknown tq)

    Whats quicker? Mach1/2001 Cobra

    I keep hearing this argument/opinion from '01 owners, but since I'm the only one who has posted anything factual on the subject (the butt-o-meter isn't a good indicator of power output BTW ;) ), I continue to remain unconvinced that this "Top-End" power advantage exists. Do you have...

    Advised by a fellow SVT Stanger to AVOID 4.10 gears! Soo confused now, help.

    Don't fear the gear! Had 4.10's in my '01 Cobra, wish I'd installed 4.30's...

    To 4.30 or not to 4.30, THAT is the question!!!!

    Mach 1 the mach 1`s competition?? pics!

    Looks nice inside & out, but since it weighs ~ 3725 lbs, it's kinda fat for my tastes... I don't like the FAKE DOHC plastic valve covers either... :notnice: I can't wait to run into one on the street. :D

    Whats quicker? Mach1/2001 Cobra

    Maybe the '01 Cobras that folks are comparing the Mach 1 to have modded exhaust? I did JBA 1 5/8" headers/Magnaflow catted X-pipe/Magnaflow cat-back on my '01, and it picked-up almost 40 rwhp at high rpm's. :banana: So, comparing an '01 w/exhaust & headers to a stock '03/'04 Mach might give...

    Whats quicker? Mach1/2001 Cobra

    The Mach 1 uses the same Tremec 3650 transmission as the '01 Cobra did (the '05 Mustang will use it as well), although there have been some minor internal parts changes. 4.10 gears are just as popular for the Mach 1 as they are for the '99/'01 Cobras. Some Mach 1 owners even choose 4.30 or...

    Whats quicker? Mach1/2001 Cobra

    I have owned & raced both cars, and I can easily say that - stock for stock - the Mach 1 is the winner, hands-down. The reasons are simple: '01 Cobra: Not much low-end torque to speak of '03 Mach: ~ 10 - 25 extra rwtq throughout a lot of the powerband (I've got more torque BONE STOCK in...

    Mach 1 Long Tube Headers?

    The same headers that fit the '03 Cobras will fit the Mach 1: BBK Hooker Kooks Mac (ugh..) Also, earlier headers that fit the '99 - '01 Cobras will also work, although the ports shapes are different. Many of the shorty or mid-length headers will also work as well.

    Mach 1 Stock Mach 1 Vs stock LS1

    A race between an LS1 F-body & a Mach 1 would be a toss-up if both cars are stock. I'm not sure where you get that the LS1 cars are "quicker and faster." Some (stock) Mach 1's have run the same times as the fastest (stock) LS1's - 12.8X - 12.9X - and the Mach 1's 4V is under-rated...

    04 Mach vs 01 Cobra Conv.

    They made 9652 '03 Mach 1's, and a little less than 9000 '01 Cobras. Even though the Mach's sat on lots (which doesn't exactly reflect how many were made, just how many were selling per month), I'd still say that the '03 Mach 1's were limited production. Maybe not as limited as the '00 Cobra...

    04 Mach vs 01 Cobra Conv.

    Since I traded-in an '01 Cobra convertible (had 9000 miles on it - I was the original owner) for my '03 Mach 1, here's my opinion: Mach 1: Torque, Torque, Torque (AMAZING what ~ 15 - 20 extra rwtq throughout a lot of the RPM range feels like!) HIGHLY under-rated power & torque (See...
