I am Ford guy as you can tell but I would prob take a 03/04 Mach 1 over the Termi.
Reasons-
SRA
Alum Block
Same heads
forged crank in the 5 speeds(easy to swap auto)
retro fitted
light drag suspension stock
cheaper
all you need its rods,pistons, and boost and your set
also stock with the 10.1:1 CR it does like boost like your LSx motors

Thanks man I'll keep that in mind, good info to know. So I'm assuming the mach's have an axle instead of IRS ?
Also what is SRA ?
Sorry, haven't owned a Mustang before so don't really catch the lingo. Have just passively admired them (the termi's) kinda thing. I'd consider a mach for a DD, and save the Camaro for the real power/performance
hahaha, pullin your leg there.

If the GF starts telling you what you can drive then it's time for a new GF. Yes Pu$$y rules the world but there is too much of it out there to let it run your life. You do what makes you happy and find a chick that likes it too...Been there done that and I like my motor more than I do my ex....
Off topic but just had to talk to this grasshopper....

Back in 03 I HAD to have a new Cobra so I went down and bought one. At the time we also had a "like new" 01 WS6. On the ride home from picking up the Cobra my and I switched cars. When we got home she got out of the Cobra and said "I dont like it". After driving it for a while I really didnt like alot of things about it either.
It was a fun car because it was fast ,12.6 @113 stock and 11.41 with a pulley,tune,cat back and Nittos but that was about it. I ended up selling it not long after and my wife kept the WS6. To this day my wife and I both say that our WS6 was the best car we have ever owend.
FWIW I just bought my wife another "sunny day" driver and it wasnt a Cobra.
we got another LS1 SS.
I say ,keep your car and build a good bottom end and throw some boost at it.

I will openly admit though, that my logic can be dangerous. This "logic" had me owing 5 cars for a while..... that's 5 plates, 5 insurance payments, 5 cars to maintain..... yeah, maybe that logic is better in theory than in pratice. 
5 cars is my absolute limit though. I was able to handle that, but any more would have been insane. I've made a pledge to myself that I can't ever surpass that number.
I have a friend that's up to 8 cars now. He's managing, but when you have that many, some of them end up being neglected.

Wouldn't you rather have 1 really sick car, maybe a motorcycle, and use the cash surplus of 6 cars to pay for a mortgage... or something?

I can say I absolutely love my 00 Firehawk and have zero plans of getting rid of it, unless the price is right of course...but two of my friends have 03 termi's and ive raced one of them an daily drove the other and their definitely absolutely awesome machines. I just couldnt justify spending roughly 20-25k for a car with so many weak points in it, I say weak points strictly from the issues Ive seen an heard from the owners themselves, I give credit where credit is due and Ford def deserves credit for the 03-04's....make friends with a cobra owner an get behind the wheel of one then make your major decision.
