Mach 1 Questions

[Matt's 03 GT]

There is no way in hell you'd get 16k for an 03 GT, unless the dumbest fool on the planet showed up on your doorstep.

They must be more expensive around me??? I agree that you can find much better deals (I bought mine about 8 months ago for $14,800 from a dealer). Just reflecting the local market here. What are they going for around the country?

I thought the GT was an all aluminum also, while the '03-'04 Cobra was the only iron block.

Nope, 99-04 GTs got the iron block...but its different from the 03-04 cobras...not as strong supposedly.

Although the Mach1s aluminum block weighs less, the car overall weighes more than a GT. I think its all the 4V stuff....those heads are HUGE.

Yeah 4v stuff, larger brakes, the shaker ****, it's metal even though it looks like plastic.

Well i just got back from the dealership, and i took the car out for a test-drive, i will say the bassani exhaust on that 32V is killer sounding, but other than that i really wasnt overly impressed with the car, there was a little power difference, but it didnt feel like a 55 hp difference, maybe it was becuase the car was an auto but who knows so i deceided to pass on it, i must say i will have to invest in some of those seats, those things were pretty comfortable, and yes the hood scoop was pretty cool watching it shake around when you got on it, but over all not that impressed, and they werent really looking to deal on the car anyway. And i wasnt going to pay 19500 for a car with 50000 miles on it....

When you slap it into 2nd gear on a 5 speed, you will feel the power. You'll sink a couple inches into your seat.

 

[kramer03gt]

yeah even in the auto shifting from first to second was fairly impresssive, but idk, ha then they were trying to convince me that therre was a 2,000 dollar bassani exhaust on this thing, ha i was like right on..

 

[kramer03gt]

and for having 50000 miles in it, the thing was still super tight steering and suspension wise which really impressed me alot

Yeah it was the auto that left you unimpressed. I went from a 97 Cobra which is rated at about the same horses as the Mach, and I could tell the Mach was faster immediately! No question its faster than a 99-04 GT.No disrespect to GT owners, because Ive had one myself, but after going 4v, I can never go back. I love to rev!!!

 

[EPIK]

The steering & suspension was another thing that I could tell was much improved over any other stang i drove B4.

And suprisingly enough i did a KBB on that car and they were almost dead on in price for a value of the car, i think the KBB was 19340, and the dealership was at 19,480. which really surprised me, must be the market here in Wisconsin
