Cobra has the following systems that the Mach does not:Neither car is more complex to maintain than the other.
Cobra has the following systems that the Mach does not:
-IRS
-secondary cooling system for intercooler
-blower
-alt in poor location gets hot needs replaced more often
-more complex exhaust to clear IRS
-various other rmisc systems related to blower
Seriously, one would think a service manager would know more about cars and focus on tech rather than just hating on people. Move on dude and get the **** over it...
The IRS is nice because the car does not bounce sideways on corners. However it adds a lot of mechanical complexity and it is kludged in from a Lincoln car. In stock form it needs a lot of money and work.
Let me bottom line it for you, I cannot do burnouts without massive wheel hop. If a mustang cannot do burnouts then WTF is it good for?
It would cost me at least $400 to get it squared away and that is if I do the work myself and get Bruce's parts instead of MM's. F-that...

I think the solution is for me to add you back in to my ignore list. I am going to add in Deftsound as well. My biggest regret is ever taking you off it in the first placeUmm we are talking about a 1999/2001 Cobra which does not have

Debatable.
-more complex exhaust to clear IRS- Please it is not complex, because the bends go in a different directions
So there again, please explain with technical facts on why a 1999/2001 Cobra is more complex and cost more to maintain than a Mach One? I already commented about the rear ends being different and the IRS a little more complex than the solid axle, but it is nothing that is that major. I have had 2 Cobra's, one being a 99, and a GT. It really is nothing that is complex at all.

So you were saying about me being a service manager and not focusing on cars and hating?
Sorry Kilgore, this had nothing to do with your ignorance. It had to do with you giving out the wrong advice. Not surprisingly when questions and told it is wrong, you resort to petty crap trying to make yourself innocent.

You do not know what you are talking about. You make assumptions about my political beliefs, where I have my car repaired, how I have my car repaired, etc, etc.
Stick to the thread topic son.
Cobra is more mechanically complex and therefore will be more expensive.
Even the stealership is clueless generally. That has been MY experience anyways...I am sticking to the topic, I have a good friend with an 03-04 cobra and as a long time poster on this forum you are the First person I have heard complain about the cost of maintaining one. And based on what you said about the cost of tires I can assume that you buy only the best tires when in reality you can buy a cheaper set of tires and spend way less money. I honestly think you just get jealous when you hear about people having a car like yours.
Oh and finally, just leave stangnet for good, no one needs your negative attitude around here, its depressing, like a wet blanket...
Oh and again, I am not your son. I'm not sure where you get off on telling me that but its kinda creepy.
