With the extra money you spend on one you can easily mod the f-body to handle better, accelerate faster, and get much better gas mileage in the process. And btw stock for stock the termi isnt much faster if any at all in some cases.
actually stock for stock the termi eats the fbody

this is the most overplayed argument ever...everybody says "what/but if", ford did it, GM didn't, end of story...LS1 is a bad *** motor, but so is a blown/forged 4.6, its up to whatever you like, not based on someone else's opinion...

i have 2 guys i know one with a 03 black termi and another with a 04 mystic termi and yes they are fast but they dont really have crap on a ls1 IMO. they are s/c ok so take it off and u have a mach 1. stock yes they are fast and the mods u can get hell yeah they can scoot but, wouldnt u rather be pushing 500 rwhp off a stock bottom end all N/A. i give ford a thumbs up for that particular car . but it comes down to what u want the mach 1's look good but lack the power compared to a ls1 and especially when it comes down to mods. i say ws-6 personally but id look into the termis if u want a the mustang route cause a good condition low mileage mach 1 isnt going to be much less than one.

Green, don't be so serious man

It's all good. Yeah Terminators and the new Shelbys are fast as hell, but that's about it. Ever. I have just seen waaaaaaaaaay too many 600+ rwhp Cobras get smacked by 450-500 rwhp LSx's (4000+ da) to be in too much awe of them.

Eh, you can't go wrong with either one in my opinion ... Of course if I had a choice I'd get the WS6 but if I had enough money hell I'd get both. Pimp factor is about the same between the two, the WS6 looks frikin mean and is more manly IMO, the Mach is a Mustang which has always been popular with the ladies and always will be, that shaker hood scoop is fun lookin at and it scares the sh*t out of most other mustangs and they won't race you lol. Performance-wise I think the LS1 is better but don't get me wrong there's tons of Machs that run fast, hell, alot of em' run low 13's bonestock ... and they're frikin mean if you gear them. Interior goes to the Mach IMO though I like the interior in F-bodys, the mach's is made better and it's got the whole retro thing goin for it .....

to sum it up, they're both nice as hell, test drive em both and get which ever fits you better.

go for the T/A, those T3650s scare me. i couldnt imagine replacing a transmission@ 5000 miles or 10k or 20k or 30k or 40k etc.. too many horror stories. theres a 70+ page thread on stangnet of people complaining about that transmission.


not to mention the LS1 is just badass in general.

btw green, some people just don't want to give respect where it is due, they like being closed-minded so just let them be. it's their life, cant force them to be reasonable.

no doubt get an LS1. Mach's are ok but I've never had a bolt on Mach ever come close to hanging with my bolt on LS1 especially on top end....3rd and 4th just dont stop pulling!

Nicer interior??? It's a ford! My dad's 96 F-150 XL has the same interior as that car. Maybe not the guages but the whole design is so BLAH!
Now I do like Mach 1's and they do perform farely well but the whole reason behind me personally every getting a ford is b/c they suck in the interior department. Feels like your sitting on top of the car or something.
