CobraG said:Really, Mach's seem more common than Cobras where I am. I still say the Cobra, it commands respect.

This car is fast as hell and i have no problems with the IRS. Drive both and then make a choice, one or the other may suite you better. For me its the cobra
COBRA!

A Mach stand out MUCH more than a 01 Cobra. How many stangs you see with a shaker popping through the hood? Plus the Spoiler and the Chin spoiler. Annnnd the wheels.
I know 01 cobras had their own wheels but they also offered the same wheels for gt's just without the cobra center cap.

Traveler said:IMHO, I tend to think that the Mach is actually more "GT-like". Its got the same front fascia, rear fascia, rocker panels, wing and foglights and of course the same taillights. I'd bet the non-Mustang enthusiast average joe would confuse a 35th anniversary GT with a Mach 1.
With the Cobra, you've got the different front fascia, rear fascia (Cobra lettering), round foglights and the amber turn signal taillights. Less obvious is the stance of the rear with the IRS and the lower hanging exhaust pipes. I guess its all depends on the observer but I think I could see the Mach being mistaken for a regular GT before a 01 Cobra.
However, that said, the Machs are nice-looking cars. If I didn't have the 01 Cobra, I'd probably consider one...especially the white. I like the black decals and accents against the white. The constrast is very striking.
Traveler said:Exactly how are the seats better since they're both based on the same basic structure? And the IRS is not always necessarily a liability. I will agree that the Mach is a good performance deal for 03+ but I wouldn't say it was head and shoulders above the 01 Cobras in performance at all. Its somewhat more torquey but that can be overcome.
sawman70 said:The Mach is just a GT with more crappy plastic (including the shaker) and two more cams. You can spot a Mach a mile away by the crappy plain black ABS spoiler. And the wheels look like crap too. Definately my least favorite of the V8 cars.
I phased all the plastic crap off my 99 GT. If I had a Mach I'd have my work cut out for me, that is for sure.
Mach = Poor Man's Cobra
CatmanJJ said:Shaker is not plastic it's metal but does have a plastic chin spoiler (which a lot of Stangers install on their car anyway), other then that it has almost the same amount of crappy plastic as any other 99+ Stang.As far as plain ass black ABS spoiler is concerned well that's your opinion but it is a nod to the originals back in the 60's and 70's same with the stripes, that's why it's a heritage model. I agree though the wheels are craptastic.
It may be the poor mans Cobra but it does a fine job of running with an LS1 stock something the pre' '03-'04 Cobras couldn't do.Anyway, enough of the bickering, both are great cars like I said, I don't think you could go wrong with either one, at this point since they're both used, I'd find one with the lowest mileage to price ratio and just go for it.
