According to the March issue of MMFF: "to reiterate for the final-time, This is absolutely, positively NOT the '96-98 Cobra motor; nor is it a detuned '99-01 Cobra engine." The differences are:
1) block (aluminum vs. cast iron)
2) heads
3) cams
I thought this was one of the best pieces I've ever read in MMFF...and I'll definitely be ordering a copy of the 55-minute video they made to go with it!
I started a new thread on WAX, kinda where I am now. The Mustangs get together here in the summer for a show. This Mach1 is going in.
I never entered my 2000GT, but it would have dawn attention (deep wax throughout that you could comb your hair in). I just laid the same application on the Mach. It is so slick now you can't lean against it. The coolest thing is:
If I unleash the motor, that wax don't matter a bit . Am I the only one, or do you want to take off the AIR BRAKE and make some real times at the track? I see myself doing a spare delete AND wing delete at the track just for grins Just a few thoughts banging around in my head.
Well I just test drove an 03 mach 1 ,and man it was WAY faster than the 04 GT I drove a few days before.Since my dad was with me,I was only able to hit 4K or so in 2nd in the 03 but it had some crazy pull.Only things I do not like are,it feals VERY bulky and the turning radious absolutly SUCKS.Other than that it was pretty nice,but I liked the interior much better in the 04.All in all they are both GREAT cars.BTW that mach 1 also had a ticking that I noticed in the drivers side head almost as soon as I cranked it and the sales man popped the hood.
