Whats the warranty on these cars?
I wouldn't say that. It depends on what, and how you do it.
True..but I highly doubt it. It would have to be an extended warranty (factory is already expired) and he can get that from Ford ESP himself.
36mo/36k miles. - Is the factory. It may ahve a transferable extended warranty though, unless it is at a dealership. Dealerships won't transfer extended warranties.
Dude I think you are using the MACH 1 as a cover up. You are really from the LS1 forums! You clearly cannot stand your sloooow Mach 1 :burn:
I'd go with the Mach. I've driven both and the Mach feels a lot "lighter". It's slightly faster, and it looks better.
Sorry, I forgot this was in the Mach-1 forrum, where the Mach's are God!!!:lol:Then, I went over to the new edge, and the high revs and 4.30's are GOD!!!:lol:But, basically, the Mach-1 is the 2002 Cobra, that they canceled to make the 03' Cobra.
Um negative! similar, but not the same at all!... Aluminum engine, higher compression ratio, solid rear axle. btw, it wasnt cancelled. It was set up as a two year limited production. :bored:
You bought a Saleen so no need to tell you, right? after all its just a GT, correct?
oke:Hrrm interesting debate. I would go with the 01 cobra simply because it is a cobra. The only down fall is people ask you " Is it fast" or "is it supercharged". Most people will answer with no :: kicks a rock::.

Are you a buy it for the name kinda person?
There are only two valid excuses for buying a 99 or 01 cobra, either you bought it when it first came out or you wanted a convertible, otherwise you obviously didnt do your research when looking for a car. My mach would spank the shyite outta your Cobra motor for motor. "CR" does it for us.
I had a 99 Cobra, not a whole lot different than the 01's. I bought it in 02, but when the Mach's came out in 03 I drove one a kicked myself for not waiting. Hands down it was faster, felt it in the butt-o-meter. Now that I have two I definetely feel I made the right decision, especially since I spank my buddies that have 99's or 01's!

Another reason would be that the OP cannot afford an 03/4 so the idea of getting into a cobra period seems appealing.
I dunno i am partial to my cobra.

HaHa, I knew it would work! They did cancel it, it was set up to be an n/a motor, but it did not meet their expectations...correct the mach is different, Mach-cobra, but the engine I meant. Yes it's a 06"Saleen Extreme BTW!!!
I bought the cobra just because I wanted a cobra and got a good deal....mine has 456 gears and exhaust...it would spank a stock mach 1...stock for stock the mach wouldve smoked it do to the crappy 327 gearing that comes in the cobra...
If I had the option you listed I would go with the mach if you are into drag racing....If you like handling go with the cobra the IRS is amazing on a curvy road....
Did the 01 cobras get the 3550??or are they still t45???
I know the machs have the 3550...

The 01 Cobra came with a T-45 and the Mach's came with the 3650.
This is so FREAKIN retarted!! Ford owners arguing amongst themselves. Both are great cars. Drive both and then decide. PERIOD.
Sure about that?........last I knew Ford Completely went to the 3650 mid 01 production..........:shrug:
mach 1 all the way! the solid axle hooks so much better than the crappy IRS.
Drive both is my suggestion, but you will want the mach in the end because of the pull (traction off the line)
i agree with nofire at the top the mach feels faster to me....

The IRS can be great with some $work, but I would say get the mach1.
