Would you recommend I factory order a 04 Mach 1 (auto or stick?) or look for a 04 Cobra?
I intend to use this vehicle as a weekend car/drag race car w/ zero winter driving or daily driving.
I can do a large number of mods myself, so one battle plan I had was to order a Mach 1 and go forced induction w/ a twin screw blower.
Or should I just go with the Cobra?
I want a very reliable and durable beast w/ zero problems (axles falling off, intake manifolds cracking, stuff flying apart, etc...) and yes I do realize when you start racing, stuff will break but after seeing how Ford's recent cars are just plain crappier (03 Vic's will have axles, wheels, and rack and pinion steering systems fall apart before 30k miles) I'm hoping people will chime in and tell me of the problems they're seeing.
