    I JUST WON $20,000

    I don't know how much you make in a year but I'd be real careful and not spend all of the money. 14% would do it if you only make $20k a year but that's not the whole story. The 20k will be added to what you make in 2006 and you'll pay taxes on that amount. You will be in a high income tax...

    '04 Cobra Convertible or '06 GT Convertible?

    I should have said suspension would have to be upgraded along with the tranny and more than likely the rear end although at least the axles are forged.

    '04 Cobra Convertible or '06 GT Convertible?

    Cobra: Better engine, tranny, interior, power. 05+ GT: Better chasis and exterior. Brakes are great on both. The TR3650 is a weak tranny for any power much over 300 RWHP. The Better chasis would be weak if the GT had 360+ RWHP like the Cobra so don't fool yourself you'd have to mod...

    Buying New Car 03 Mach vs 01 Cobra

    The N/A cobra's are great cars too but setup more for a road course with it's IRS the Mach was put together to run with the fbodies at the track. Both are fine cars, I just think the Mach's the best looking car but you can't go wrong with either. As you can see I could have got a 03/04 Cobra...

    Buying New Car 03 Mach vs 01 Cobra

    Here's a interesting comparison of the 2 at the Registry. It contains stock dyno graphs of someone that owned both cars. http://www.mach1registry.org/forums/showthread.php?t=20792&highlight=2001+cobra

    Buying New Car 03 Mach vs 01 Cobra

    Mach! 9500ish in 2003 7500ish in 2004 Better gearing and a better torque curve. You can see my stock numbers with just a K&N. The Mach has a truck cam in it for better mid range torque and the 3.55's really make it move over with the solid axle. JMO

    Well...its official: "Ford Shelby GT for the Masses"

    "Talk forums" don't add to your count. You must post in Tech.

    2007 Shelby GT preview on Edmunds

    Certainly a nice looking car that's worth around $31/$32k. I haven't heard if it's still running 87 octane but I'd think your GT's would be right there with it at 326HP to the crank with a tune using 91/93 octane gas. I know my Mach with just a K&N made 280 RWHP when it was new which is right...

    03/04 Mach 1 vs. 05/06/07 GT - mechanical differences?

    Interest in the new body style has faded around here since you can't drive 10miles and not see 3 to 5 cars. Now when I go though a drive-thru I'm surprised the attention the Mach still gets today and most don't even know what the car is. In this part of the country if you see 1 or 2 Mach's a...

    Thinking about the 'Packs

    I have the Magapacks and love the sound but wish I would have gotten the Magaflows since I think they'd be too loud with an aftermarket mid-pipe. I'm not one to announce my presense a mile before I get there.:rolleyes:

    Mach 1 Selling the mach

    I like the looks and the way the Mach's drives. The 03/04 Cobras are nice cars with great power but lack looks IMO. I may get a Cobra after the Mach's paid off but it won't be at the expense of this special car that was only made 2 years and looks like it'll be awhile before it appears again...

    Chrylser has made my decision simple

    Like Ford's 5 speed tranny is any better.......I'd take my chance I've had 2 Dodge trucks and they've been ROCK solid.

    Mach 1 Mach or '05+

    I like the new body style but we purchased a second Mach over a car like the GT that's now everywhere I go. I may see 1 Mach a month. I've driven couple GT's to 100mph+ on spirted test drives they just didn't do it for me in the power department. My Mach on a good day will squeak 4th the GT...

    03 cobra or 07 GT?

    Yes, I test drove 2 05's 5 speed when they first came out wasn't really impressed with the GT and it's power (I've posted my test drive on this site if interested). I took it to over 100mph on both since I'm in with the sales person and dealership. A good platform but the wrong motor for me...

    03 cobra or 07 GT?

    Cobra......Power, better interior, and handles better with it's IRS. Crazy power for a grand. The new body style is already everywhere, I'd go with the limited edition cars.

    This just in.... Evan Smith runs a 12.25 @ 117.18

    Well he did say it need 4:10's or better and it'd run high 11's on street tires. Speaking of street tires his 60 ft time was like a 2.3 so a good set of DR's should put it in the 11's without doing anything else.

    Mach 1 '0 and '04 owners, how many miles per gallon does your Mach 1 get?

    I don't drive the auto enough to even guess but the 03 5 speed is getting about 23 mpg almost all highway. If I could keep my D** foot out of it I'm sure it"d be better! Of course all the highway stuff is 70-85mph. :D
