![]() I have not heard anything bad. It will not be faster than the cobra. I am sure it will be a good collactors item one day.

![]() I can't wait for that car to come out, it will be awsome. I would love to get my hands on one. It won't be as fast as the cobra but it will be one of a kind. The Shaker hood scoop with functional ram air is what turns me on. But I think that I'm obsessed with ram air. I am trying to figure out how to hook up some ram air to my intercooled blower, I know it doesn't make any since but like I said, I'm obsessed with ram air. I would trade my car in for it if I didn't spend about $6000 in mods on it, and bought it less than a year ago, oh well, I still love my car. I hope someone that I'm close to gets a mach I. I would love to ride in that car. Sorry for rambling so much, that Mach I just gets me really excited.

![]() It is a better version of the 01' when it comes to engine.. Has better heads and the Shaker... Only down fall is the Stick Axle..

![]() Advantage ..... down fall.
Point is, we have a choice. If you wanted a DOHC with a straight axle. You got it. |

![]() In the hands of a good driver IRS can launch every bit as good as a live axle.
I can pull 2.0X 60 fts absolutely bone stock. The only advantage the mach1 will have over the 99-01 cobra is lower gears. JMO,

![]() I am talking about stock vs. stock I know people pulling 1.6 60fts for over a year with the IRS.
BTW I have seen plenty of axles break as well. Sure I would rather have a live axle but I have whooped many saleen's and suped up GT's at the track with my wimpy IRS cobra. My buddy that has a 96 cobra shattered his rearend on street tires racing an LS-1 last weekend. I pull better 60ft's in my cobra bone stock than I do in my 5.0 on street tires and it has suspension mods. JMO, but I guess I might be a little biased, ![]()

![]() Thanks for your comment, But driving 400+ HP around probably doesn't even compare to the way that smurf feels on your avatar. Where did you find that?
