So I've gotten myself into a debate on a local forum with a Mach 1 owner. The same guy also owns an 04 Cobra and is going off about how his Mach is a complete piece of ****. His argument basically consists of how a Mach 1 is just a 99/01 Cobra with an "ugly hood".
I jumped in stating that the Mach has more in common with his 04 Cobra than it does with a 99/01 Cobra.
Technical specs that I have already mentioned:
the cams were derived from the 5.4L NAVIGATOR motor, having the same lift as 99/01 Cobra cams but with different overlaps and durations. Machs have different exhaust manifolds, different heads (even port-matched, which 99/01 Cobra heads are not), different compression (10:1 vs. 9.85:1), and so on.
Heads, cams, crank (5 speed), gears are all the same. Not sure what else. He must be suffering from a small snake complex. I could'nt give a rat's ass about owning an '03-'04 Cobra, and a co-worker of mine owns a '04 Mystichrome Cobra.
The question is... who cares? People have whatever complex that makes them feel they always have to be right. I just let it go at that point. Arguing with someone like that is like pissing in the wind, nothing good ever comes from it.
