HAha, I was about to say, you might be biting off more than you can chew.. Even for a stock Cobra!
I understand on the bills unfortunately... Car has been down for 2 months... JUST now got the money for the new intake setup.. WELL worth it though.

Hell yea man do it. I raced my bro in laws termi. He had an x pipe and cat back at the time. It was close til about 75-80 when he started walkin. Theyr strong cars. I used to damn near worship them but I am a converted f-body lover haha. They look good too but mustangs just look gay imo with the exception on the 03-04 cobras

So the bumper and the spoiler really "make or break" the image of the car for you? Hmmm...I'm sure I'm forgetting some other minor cosmetic differences...

OP nice death.

Looks wise, I prefer the Mach over the Cobra, but I would probably buy a Cobra over the Mach.

I really want a C6Z06 for my next car, but for the price difference, I could have a mean Cobra.

Personally, my favorite looking front bumper is a 99...with a 03-04 rear wing and black FR500s with a polished lip...all on a black or DSG car.

I was never a big fan at ALL of the 99-04 style mustangs, which is funny because I absolutely love the look of the cobras. I've seen a few GT's with some body mods and wheels that looked pretty good though.

If I had to pick, I'd go with an SN95....either 94 or 95 with the 5.0. For some reason I like the look of that style when they are modded, like lowered with wheels and a hood. A ton of my freinds have/had SN95's so I grew up with them around. And obviously I love the S197 stangs too!!

DAMNIT! No pics of mine recently, mine's a black 95 Cobra with silver Cobra R's all the way around (rears have 1.125 in. spacers) it sits lower than stock, haven't looked to see what it has though, Cobra R hood and an S351 wing...I'm on the fence about the wing, I'd love a stock Cobra or even GT wing but I don't want to buy and odds are slim of finding someone who has the exact wing I wanna trade for.

Yes I agree Cobras lowered with the stcok chromies and tint look very nice....but Machs slammed with some wheels and tint look very good to especially coming down the road.

Nice cars in your sig, which one was faster? Looks like the Cobra would be but the Mach has some TQ on it.

My personal preference, the Mach 1 look, with the Cobra bite! Everything else is just a Mustang.

My car stock with a catback went 13.1 @ 110 with a 2.3 60ft. I added a $80 upper pulley (14psi) and a $250 dyno tune, and UPR o/r xpipe and a set of DR's that I mounted on 15x7 stock steel Jeep Wrangler wheels and were alittle past the wear bars and it went 11.79@118 with a 1.72 60ft. That was making 482rwhp/483rwtq. They dont run too bad stock for a almost 4K lb car. 1K in mods and you can have a mid 11 to high 10sec car if done right. Not too bad IMO. Since the motor is all of 281 cubic inch. Now it has a Whipple.

My friends argue about this all the time the mach was very fast.....it made those numbers with 4:10's and had a sticky tire it did beat some mid to low 11 sec cars repeatedly....idk would depend on the roll and who hooked first but the cobra looks better and it has the power all the time.

When it went to the dyno the 1st time I drove it there (2hrs) at 75mph. Made 8 dyno pulls and drove half way home and had to fill up but it averaged 22mpg with 3.73's. It wont do so good this time (saturday) with the 4.10's and whipple
