Trade up for an 03 or 04 Cobra Those are mean machines. I know of an 03 mach 1 if you'd be interested? Red with black stripe, it's at a ford dealer they are asking 24 or 25k...I don't know if this is a good price for one so don't laugh

I think a Mach 1 (especially new if ya can still find one) is the one to get. Solid axle, lighter, NA power though less of it than a Cobra of course. Nothing wrong with an '04 GT either.

Get the Mach 1.
I had two 03 Cobra's and if I was going to do it all over I would buy a used low mile Mach 1 with an aod and a converter and put a blower on it.Mid 11s easy.

The cobra was cool because I spent less then $1200 and ran low 11s but there are so many other things I didnt like.Just to name a few.
Driver seat was very unconfertable
rear irs sucks
I hated that stupid blower whine
The paint sucked and would get chiped by a masqueto(sp?)
The T56 was no match for the one in my Ws6
Did I metion that stupid blower whine? LOL

An automatic Mach 1 won't hold up under a blower for long. Don't the automatics have a cheapass crank too?

An automatic Mach with a convertor, 4.10s, and some bolt-ons would run very well, but it would never MPH or run from a roll like even a basic bolt-on Cobra....

Take a mortgage out for a C6/Z06.. yeah, right.
