Actually,
In my situation, I would prefer the Mach 1...
I think the Mach 1 looks a bit better... Its cheaper to buy and for insurance...
And it has a live axle instead of an independant rear... (Much better for those crucial launches...)
Don't get me wrong, the Cobra is one bad mama jamma, but if I were going to buy a new car to mod a bit and play with on the straightaways.... the Mach 1 would be my choice.
The Mach 1 is just BEGGING for a blower...
