2003 Mach 1?
 

Has anybody heard any good or bad things about the 2003 mach 1 mustang? Girlfriends looking at buying one and I haven't been keeping up on the new mustangs. Thanks for any info.

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..

i must disagree about the live axle, i think thats an advantage over the 01 cobra.

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,

you dont have to worry about breaking half shafts with a live axle compared to irs.

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,
;)

Mlam just wanted to say your car is awesome! Luv the mods, so how does it feel to drive 400+ hp? I hope I will know someday...

cneo :D

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?
