I'm natrually convinced a '03/'04 Cobra is far better than modding my GT (with the 3 to 4 grand that would be available). How about the same question towards a '04 Mach 1?

To refresh your memory;

Option 1: Mod my GT with a Stroker Kit and Cams or Heads, Cams, LT and Prochamber.

-OR-

Option 2: Trade-in for a '04 Mach 1.


I have about 70,000 miles on my GT. In my eyes a Cobra would be "my" ultimate Mustang, but I haven't read into the Mach 1 and the possibilities of what it could become as much.
 
I'd recommend either car (Cocra or Mach 1) over modding the GT.

The Mach 1s have the best NA DOHC going today and a live axle so wheel hop and IRS issues won't be a factor if you run at the 1/4mi track.

But, if you want the best bang for the buck today .... the Cobra by far.

Either would be a great choice, besides, at the prices the Mach1s are going today you could get one for $24K or a Cobra for $28K.

So, depends on what you want it for .... a Mach 1 would be a perfect 'buffed' replacement for the GT.
 
Sorry if I was confusing in my question, but I do also think the Cobra is a given.

The question was purly directed towards moding the GT or trading for a Mach 1. I kind of got the idea of the responses concerning the Mach 1 as a preference. I just wasn't sure since I have already put into my GT that I would be losing out in the trade-in :shrug:
