Too bad they cost more than a Cobra in real dollars out the door, so no there not really our comp.

As far as the editors were concerned the quality shows the price difference. Nobody was arguing over price. Too many MACH owners here are in denial about the PERFORMANCE of a GTO. They call it the bloat and blah blah blah, but which car trapped higher?

1/4 mile times depend on elevation and weather, this isn't near the best times for the Mach just a head to head comparison by their mag on the same day and same track.

Ummm...isnt that the way they should be tested? Head to head on the same day I dont understand your point? If the MACH's numbers werent that great that day, then the GTO's werent either. Again, look at the trap speed. Both cars should have run faster than 13.5's.

As far as you keeping your car, thats fine. Evevryone has preferences. I suspect I would take a MACH1 over the 04' GTO too. However, if you want to talk about saving the cash, I am at a total investment of 10k less than a MACH1 and I am gonna have no problem waxing pullied cobras. JMO.

I agree, the MACH1 will be a collectors car, if you leave it unmodded.

In that article, the Mach 1 beat the GTO when they were both cars were stock and not altered.

After the GTO received a Resister Mod and had the traction control tweaked the GTO ran a better time.
