okay guys...going 1 to 2 tenths slower stock is not going to bother me cause its not going to be stock for long. and i was thinking about getting a cobra and a c5, but the drawback to the c5 is no possibily to seat other people. my car is for me to enjoy i know, but i still like to put some friends in it once in a while. And the cobra, sick but i dont know if i wanna drop the extra 5-10 grand or just make the mach faster the to cobra would be. Hell, i was even thinking about getting another camaro but i think this mach sold me.

that mach with the cobra bumper looked good.. I do like machs and they are fast but they simply dont have as much potential as an ls1 and thats limited to their non-forged 4.6... Yes they have an 8.8 but we have the better tranny, even better than an 03-04 cobra and the potential to gain 100rwhp with a cam.

Now if it was forged, then sure, but then youd might as well get an 03-04 cobra and i doubt many here could argue with that.
However, it is your choice of course, and not the worst you could make. Have fun with it and send post some pics.

cobra is where its at, **** anything else.

unless you want to build some cracked out foxbody, you won't find a better mustang.

Pretty much every other mustang blows. gt500 included btw.

seriously.

EDIT: 03/04 cobra

I don't understand why you trying to defend your decision. You posted this on an LS1 website, and figured you would get anything other than the response you have already received??? If you are honestly picking a Mach1 over a vette b/c you want to seat your friends...then...well wow....

Ford sure is "advancing" by building overweight GT cars with sold axles

Man you guys get nasty when it comes down to somebody going to the other side. What's the big deal? Hell, I sold my low 11 sec. Lightning to buy a 12 second WS6. I've owned both and like them equally.

Yea it's probably around 2 tenths slow stock but that gap grows more and more mod for mod. The LS1's potential is much much greater.

Here's a thought...Post this same thread in a Mustang forum and I guarantee you that the results will be the exact opposite. I'm sure we REALLY don't mean to rain on your parade, but fact is you're posting this in a wrong website.

A nice car is a nice car. Enjoy it. But please tell me you'll spend an obscene amount of money in modifications and never be done.

See ya on the open road. I probably won't wave cause I like to keep my hands on the wheel when I'm passing.

mach1's are pretty sweet. I like the hood and chin and spoiler and all. The interior is pretty cool too. But i dunno.... maybe your just getting an itch to try something new. My cousin got like that too. Had a ws6 and now he has a 99 cobra supercharged and built and its fast.... but now he wants the feel of an ls1 again lol. Some people just have to get it out of their system i guess. I say go for it if you realy want it...but i have a feeling that you might want to come back.... they always do!.... jk. lol

hahaha , well man, you are on LS1Tech what did you expect to hear? "Yeah! Do it, GM is gay"
for the money you're gonna spend your current fbody would kill that or the 03-4 Slobra.
But do what makes ya happy just dont expect us to be happy for you being a trader.

While I love my Trans Am, I thought my mustang had a better overall fit and finish, mainly the interior. My sail panel in my T/A just broke and I had to superglue it back together, my mustang was solid on stuff like that. Different strokes for different folks, I love the power and looks of my trans am, but hate all the window motor and breaking interior pieces bull$hit. Enjoy the Mach!

if youre looking for superior build quality neither car is winning any awards. at least in high HP versions.

Skipping everything and just replying, Mach I's are nice, and if you're not going to mod ($$ more for the Mach) you'll be set. However, and not to be rude, why did you make this thread? You have 12 posts in 7 months so its not like everyone on the board knows you. Seems kind of pointless to me?
