    1st time @ track 02 gt vs. 04 Mach

    I think he’s a lost cause he’ll never be happy with any performance car he gets because someone’s always out there with more power. The fact is I loved my GT too, funny how some put so much emphasis on overall power rather their car is fun to drive or not. Seems back ass-words to me, 99% of...

    Performance Peddler, he has a website and is on ebay. He's been giving Registry members a very good discount.

    Which exhaust, mid pipe-x, cat back? SLP.MAGNA,or bassani....

    After reviewing them all and looking at the price of some of them I went with Magnapacks and paid $315 to the door for them. Now a mid-pipe, I was leaning toward the Magnaflow catted X for $299 shipped but I like the sound of the MRT catted H more but $459 is a little high IMO.

    1st time @ track 02 gt vs. 04 Mach

    I've seen enough of these thread to know this isn't going to make a difference but I think the suspension may have a little to do with it too, you think? Here's the tale of the tapes, scroll down for a head to head comparsion and you'll see the Bullit is close to the Mach rather than the GT...

    1st time @ track 02 gt vs. 04 Mach

    1st time @ track 02 gt vs. 04 Mach

    Maybe this will help: 3:55 gears, solid rear axle (this car was designed for the 1/4), lighter, and increased RWHP/RWTQ Dyno of a one of the members at the Registry head to head comparsion: http://home.kc.rr.com/kchof/01%204v%20vs%2003%204v.jpg Thread...

    1st time @ track 02 gt vs. 04 Mach

    No most drivers are high 13 second drivers, it's not the cars fault. Learn how to launch and where to shift your car wheather it's a 5 speed or auto and times will vastly improve. It was a big learning curve for me going from a 2 valve to a 4 valve motor. Practice makes perfect, a lot of...

    Mach 1 SLP on Mach 1?????

    Some people on the Registry really like them. I went with the MangaPacks for $315 to my door from Performance Peddler. I would like to order the rolled tips but I haven't yet.

    03 Cobra vs. Mach 1

    That a whole lot to say nothing :rlaugh: All I ask for is some proof not some BS your speading on the web. I'm sure many here would like to get a Corba for 28k and like you said the Mach's 6k below that (22k for an 04 I don't think so) It was possiable in 03 though. :spot:

    Mach 1 What are some major issues/problems with the Mach 1?

    Yes you got it. I'd get the 5 speed I like it better unless your in a lot of traffic. I haven't pounded on the auto much, it's fast but it only has 1500 miles on her and these cars wake up after abouth 3-4k miles on them. The 04 auto is my GF car, I brought it for her because she liked the...

    03 Cobra vs. Mach 1

    No I'm not getting pissy just tiried of the internet BS by Mag racers that's never been to the track. I can see you haven't drove either car. Mustangs and Fast Fords picked the Mach as the best steet car and gave it the nod too in a stoplight race. The solid axle launchs even with the so so...

    03 Cobra vs. Mach 1

    I don't think you understand, past history doesnt' mean Jack. Fact is timing is everything and you should know it. My 03 brought in late June you couldn't get them to come off 1k MSRP but 2 months latter they were 21k to 22k. If you were half the stud you are in your mind we would be coming...

    03 Cobra vs. Mach 1

    OK you have friends even though you don't work for FORD anymore. But you don't know JACK about prices in any area than yours do you.....H*** NO. The price of cars very depending on which part of the country you live it.....IT WON'T HAPPEN HERE UNLESS I GET MY FRIEND THAT WORKS AT THE FORD...

    03 Cobra vs. Mach 1

    HELLO real life here it doesn't and never did, it wheel hops bad and has to be launched careful! It's always playing catch up. If the Mach has perfect traction it's beating the Cobra in the 1/4 too and that isn't happening either. This is turning into mag racing wars. Power to the ground...

    03 Cobra vs. Mach 1

    Well it seems you need to get to the track more the MACH will always launch much better than a Cobra and the last half of the 1/8 will be gaining. IRS sucks in drag racing but great for round track racing. BTW post a copy of that quote, I didn't fall of the turnipe truck yesterday, Ford...

    Mach 1 What are some major issues/problems with the Mach 1?

    As far as I'm concerned there aren't too many disadvantages. If you want an SC or Turbo get the GT or Cobra because the compression on the Mach is 10.1:1 and you'd only be able to boost it 6 lbs. or so without reducing compression ratio. The Cobra is a built motor so it will handle the boost...

    03 Cobra vs. Mach 1

    Well as far as I'm concerned get the Mach, a little over 16k will ever be made for it's 2 year production., First time since the 70's. This car in a street race at a stoplight will take the Cobra and at the 1/8 mile track will have a fair chance there too. As you can see I could have brought 2...

    Magnaflow Magnapak Catback, WHO HAS IT???

    From someone that hates LOUD. Flows are about like stock unless you get a mid pipe. I got the Packs and their too quite too but I don't have a catted X or H yet that will make a difference.

    95GT or 00-01 GT

    5.0's are cool I've owned an 82 and 87 but with 85k miles your going to have all the little things that nickel and dime you to death and if your going to really mod this motor it will need to be gone through. I guess the question is does he want a drag car for the weekends or a daily driver...
