op, trust me you say 450 will be enough, but thats only temporary. you WILL want more and once you want more, you'll wish you had a forged motor. get the cobra, and dont look back.

Very true, with the numbers I have, I now have the urge to have a bit more power to ensure no stock z06 can fool me at least :beer: I think it's like drugs, once you get used the power your car is puttin, you get curious about how it would be like with more power...

If your messing around on the streets, the Mach is more fun. People dont know what to expect, where as with a Cobra, they think it will be FAST. Just simple bolt ons on a Mach 1 will give most people a big suprise. Plus it just looks badass :-D

Yeah, I can agree with that.

Mach 1's are really cool cars, if I'm looking to get another stang, I'd be lookin for a Mach 1, unique street cars

Hahahaha yea ok I drove the car with an exhaust and drop in filter to a 12.33 @ 115 blow my doors off in a stock mach haha. get off your high horse there is always someone faster. (oh I had owned the car for 3 days at this time)


got any track times in your car? or is it just a dyno queen?

Way faster then you will ever be my friend . Yes i can beat you in a stock Mach all day long with less power and less money . Plenty of videos out there .
Search engine is your friend .

This is just off the top of my head so may be wrong but I believe he's in the 8's:shrug:... There's a few videos of him running it (please do correct me if I'm wrong)

Low 9s on 23 psi on one power adder . We will see what happens next week .

The Mach logic is giving me a head ache. You guys should have bought a Honda and just made it faster and then claim it's a superior car because it now runs faster times.


Spoken from a guy that drives an old man car that we all know isnt fast whatsoever and way overpriced .


I have plenty of friends that have Cobras and they all had to stick money into it to make it fast . You can have all the power in the world but if you cant get it to hook its just another over powered vehicle that cant hook .

Honestly Ford screwed us on the rods and the Cobras got screwed with the Comp. ratio and the IRS . JMO !

Lol, really? I paid the same for my Z as I would have for a 03/04 with the same miles and in the same condition back then. I think that is pretty reasonable all things considered.

There is more to cars than just the dragstrip little buddy. Just because you have a tacky dragstrip queen doesnt mean that your car is competition for a cobra or moreover me. ;-)

You might as well had bought a V6 new edge, no matter what you do to you mach it will always just be a mach. I rather have a stock Terminator than a high horse power mach..

TERMINATOR > MACH > GT > V6

If you still dont see the facts, then enjoy your ricer mentality.

Well some do, just like there are Corvette owners that are just as much a douchbag as said cocky cobra owners but it still doesnt take away the fact that the Terminator is a superior car to the mach 1.

Try to picture it like this, it would be like a Chevy SS truck guy trying to claim that his truck is a superior vehicle to a Lightining, its just not. That would be ricer mentality. ;-)

No thats chevy vs ford, if you want to talk about ford products the mach 1 is the fastest "FORD" mustang the cobra is a "SVT" product just like the chevy "Regency" That had a 450hp truck at one time which was faster than the lightning. But neither of them were a true ford chevy product. No svt no cobra no regency no 450hp chevy truck.

I really dont think anyone is claiming that they are superior.


The question was asked why buy we bought a mach instead of a terminator.


So people answered then we get people in here like silver 03 whos ignorance just adds fuel to the fire, and gets everyone in a pissing match.

Did you buy a mach over a terminator???

No?? then why are you posting in this thread?

Like I said before, the same could be said about GT's or even 6's. You can build whatever but at the end of the day all you got is what you first purchased.

Only thing i see ricer is that sig or is that your car ? You would have been better off with the Cobra , at least then you would have been on the right website posting about something you might actually know something about .

Hate to break your bubble but this car is street legal and drives better now then when it was stock .

Oh, Im on the right website Mr. mismatching carbon fiber, red lettering/wires and projector headlamps. :lol1:

I guess now you proceed to tell me on how your car is superior to mine also, lol, have fun convincing yourself on that one. :lol1:

Search engine is your friend .
PLEASE Show me your low 12 seconf slip in a stock mach. lol or ill even give you the same modes I had when I ran a 12.33 @ 115 (O/r x, catback, and drop in filter) oh and the biggest thing crap hankook street tires that where in it when I bought it.


Low 9s on 23 psi on one power adder . We will see what happens next week .

I think if you search there is a terminator that runs 9.90's on a stock engine and ported eaton. LOL

oh and nice condensation in your headlights :rockon:
hood pins on a hood with a latch:rockon:
carbon fiber hood:rockon:
If I were you I would have just put the shaker hood on with some 3M tape since it is just for looks.
:lol:

Like I said your car isnt even a mach, and the mach was only build to fill the large gap between the GT and the Cobra

OP you might as well ask "Why did you buy a new edge gt over a mach 1?"

Comparing a mach 1 to a terminator is like comparing a mach 1 to a new edge gt, or comparing a new edge gt with a new edge v6....

The main reason people pick mach 1s over a terminator is PRICE DIFFERENCE and those who are saying otherwise are lying. If you can afford it, go terminator and dont even think about the mach 1 its just a much better car.

Now, Im not saying that mach's arent nice cars to have, they just arent in the same league as a terminator.

Really?? You live in S. Fla and you can think of another reason, the most important one???

:dancenana::dancenana::dancenana:
I run 9.90s on 13 psi shortshifting at 5800 RPMs , whats your point that the Cobra is slower ?
The lights were replaced by Stangmods , so no more condensation .
Carbon fibre is weight reduction , oh and the pins are so that the hood doesnt blow off , see some of us dont run 14s at less then a 100 . So we need the pins because the latch just wont cut it at 150 .


But i guess you wouldnt know that ! You need to stop typing and surfing the net and figure out how to drive that car . Dont talk to me about other peoples cars either . Grow some balls ang go figure it out for yourself .
