I traded in my DSG 03 Mach1 for my 05 and although Mach1s are somewhat unique, I still prefer the looks of the new generation stang. When I was buying the 05, I even parked it next to the Mach1 after the test drive. Sitting next to the 05, the lines of the Mach1 that I had loved so much for over 2 years just didn't look so sharp any more. I even saw my old Mach1 at a car show maybe two months later and still had no regrets about replacing it. Though, I just may have to add a shaker to the 05 someday.

I'd keep the Mach 1. I don't think the body style is as cool looking as the 05/06 but it's a solid performer and still a great looking car and (most importantly) you won't be renewing your car payments.

I took the MACH out this weekend with my girlfriend, now she is always ripping me up for buying a new stang every year or 2.....after our ride she said, "your car is hot", "why would you want to get rid of this hot Mach for a GT"....i looked at her and said "i have no friggin idea"....
I am keeping my Mach!!!!!!!!!!!

when the next gen mach or boss or w/e comes out.......depending on vehicle specs and personal financials, YOU GET IT!!!!!!!!!!!! 
but for now....i'd rather take my faster mach then a new gt......the gt just has that 'new' factor going for it..........i personally love it...except for the tail end design!!

Wrong brotha!
This GT/CS VERT is one bad *** **** of a stang!
Also prob one of the "sexiest" stangs i have ever seen!
The mach was nice, but it was outdated, and felt like i been thru a wrestling match after each time i took her for a spin....
And the AUTO on the GT/CS is a sheer bliss to drive! SILKY SMOOTH

But I figure the Machs would be the faster of the two since even with the 4 cam motor the Mach should come in lighter. No contest in the chassis dynamics and handling, S-197 FTW. I also dare say the S-197 wouldn't have any trouble with the Terminator, its not carrying as much weight on the nose, and has a much better front suspension as well as a really well designed rear suspension. The Terminator's only real advantage over the S-197 chassis wise are the larger tires.
