I would of just done a shaker and paintwork to look like a Mach 1. And a set of gears for more kick in the hiney factor

I still like the Mach as the best of the sn95 models though. The 03/04 Cobra was just too darn heavy for its architecture. The Mach had the best balance overall for the platform's limitations.

Mach's are sweet, congratulations!! Stock Mach's run alot faster then stock GT's but with mods the GT should be faster :scratch:

Yea but with a wheelbase 2" shorter then a focus and being quite nose heavy, it doesn't 'wear' it very well. The 2001 Cobra and Mach pretty much were the best overall evolutions of the platform. There's a difference between balance and outright speed. I knew a guy with a vortech supercharged 5.0 in a Miata, fast but not exactly balanced.

Hey... a shaker and gears on an '05. What a great idea!! I like that!!

And not all supercharged Cobras can keep up with a non-supercharged 05. Maybe it was the shaker and gears. LOL

Bye bye Cobra

I'd love to be a fly in that Cobra...

"Dude...look at the pretty lights", "Oh crap, it's green, I guess that means I can go now", "I put my foot to the floor and I didn't go anywhere", etc, etc....





BTW, if my memory serves me correct, FLAStangx3 had an 05 V6 Sooooo, I think he upgraded in the power dept for sure :bang:

I too am a little curious to find out why you the the mach is so much more powerful that the 05. I have had a chance to drive both quite a bit and have to say that the difference is marginal at best. I completely respect your choice, so don't get me wrong, I was just wondering. I would love to have either but I am definately a bigger fan of the 05.

The only part of this whole thing that has me worried is why the heck are you people giving him crap for switching. :notnice: Its not like he torched his 05, peed on the ashes, and went out and bought a 94 civic with a whale tail. He bought a freaking MACH!. Its american, still a mustang, and a sweet one at that. So lay off.

And as for the back and forth my car is faster than your car let it go. With money a pinto can be just as fast. For those of you with 05's enjoy them, I'm still saving for mine. And for the owner of the new mach have a good time with the new ride.
But my car IS faster than his car!

I love the direction this has taken

But when all said and done. When I've played with the MACH long enough, I hope to be able to park her with her older brother, when I get my NEXT toy. Hopefully by 07 FORD will have another real Mach or BOSS out to work from. and then (Oh I know I'm goin' to hear it now) it wont be "just another mustang" in storage. But something that was RIGHT for its time. Look guy's, my 05 was great, and no doubt I WILL have another S197. Not some aftermarket companies version to do it right, either. But a FORD, TRUE BLUE! But one that is just not a, put out as many as you can FORD. With the Mach, I got something I will consider keeping, rather than just trading-up the next time. Besides..........Red is fastest.

That is completely true .... as long as orange isn't involved in the race.

When I was looking at buying the 05-06 I was also considering an 03-04 mach or cobra. They are all great cars and are very fun. Just have fun and enjoy it.
