03 cobra, all the way. 1500 in bolt ons and you've got 11's, cant beat that.

Performance - 03 Cobra

Looks - Mach 1

JMO

Depends on what you are goign to do with it. If you want a car to cruize around in and to leave mostly stock I would go with the Mach 1. If you plan to mod you will be far ahead with the snake.

I would choose the cobra for SVT exclusivity and the shear power. It doesnt look too bad either.

better put the stock H pipe back on. 03 cobra has the forged engine so you can go for broke in it. but the mach 1 has the drag setup suspension.

I'll be devil's advocate and say Mach.

But I'm just a classic mustang guy...

For all out performance I would go for the Cobra. For looks I love the Mach 1. What are your plans?

im sorry, but this is one of the dumbest threads ever. I accredit most of it to the thread starters question.

if he had half a brain he could figure it out himself.

03 Cobra hands down. BUT, if you can get Mach1 cheap enough, then throw in Supercharger in it, you'll be just as fast as, if not slightly faster, then stock Cobra. But If Cobra change pully, then.....

tough one. I prefer looks of mach1, but if you can get shaker hood on Cobra, then ...

How much you gonna spend? If you can afford the Snake, then I can't see what would possess you to buy the lesser car (Mach 1) unless you were in love with it's looks? The Cobra does everything better…and that’s why it’s the higher end car.

Why do people even start these stupid threads? Buy whichever car you like and can afford and quit asking stupid questions on the internet!

I concur, this is stupid I would assume everybody on this site knows the 03 cobra outpeforms a Mach 1 so with that said just buy whichever one you prefer better.
