Cobra or Mach 1

What would the mustang fans chose a 2001 Cobra or a 2003 Mach 1 ?
Is the Cobra rated at 320 hp

yeah most people are dumb and think since its 4.6L 4v its somhow the same engine.

The Mach 1 engine has a ton of improvments over the 01 Cobra engine. cylinder heads are much better. i really don't know everything but there were extensive changes.

Really depends on your opinion of the IRS.

Want it or not?

You found a Mach 1 for $1677? Buy it. Don't even look into it other than crash history. If it doesn't have an engine and tranny, it's worth it.

If you don't buy it, give me the link and I will.

Redbaron,

I thought that the Mach 1's were rated at 305, but they were underrated due to some legal issues that Ford had....but the actual HP was something like 315?

I'm just curious, because I test drove both an 03 Mach 1 and an 03 Cobra and the Mach felt just as powerful (if not more so) as the Cobra on the low end, but the high end was where the Cobra really took over...but I guess that could be because the Mach was a n/a engine and the Cobra had the S/C on it?
