I went through the selling the car phase, wanting a terminator and all. Then I woke up and realized why buy a car for $25K when between what I owe on my car and the $$ for a blower, I could have a faster, better looking, rarer car for half that.

Gonna hate to see another CY disappear. Hopefully someone on the board can pick it up. Machs are definitely no downgrade though...Good luck!
Yeh it's my favorite color on a Cobra to date with the 04 Mystichrome being a close second. I totally agree with your comment about the blower, better looking and rarer car. I'd love to have this car pushing over 400rwhp next year. Can you imagine the look on guys faces when a 10 year old car beats them!!! I hope to get a KB and port it out for better flow.

I guess if you have to sell the Cobra, that's a good enough reason. :thumbsup:

Hey congrats buddy! I hope it all works out well for ya man! Those mach's are a great, great car :) You're gonna love it! Sometimes its just nice to have a change of scenery, even if everyone else doesnt agree. You've been wanting something newer for a good while now, go for it!

ps- I'd definetly be interested in buying a few of your mods, if you're interested :) Holla back at me man!

What mods and that stuff do you have? I am looking to buy a SN95 cobra real soon. CY would be awesome to have. Especially one that has a t56 swap :)

Here's a list of mods. Hope I remember them all.

-03 Cobra T56 tranny with aluminum driveshaft, Dallas Mustang Speedcal and MGW shifter.
-31 spline Ford diff. with 31 spline moser axles, trick flow diff. cover. New seals throughout.
-BBK longtube headers with DR. Gas o/r x pipe and dynomax race bullets.
-Timing Adjuster and underdrive pullies.
-Subframe connectors.
-Arizen race seats.
-01+ 6-disc cd changer and 01+ console.
-One piece projector headlights with HID's.
-Autometer oil pressure and air fuel ratio guages.
-Saleen s281 wing, cervinis side scoops, painted mirrors.
-Brembo drilled/slotted rotors.
-Screamin Demon livewires and coil packs.
-Eibach Pro Kit with Tokico shocks/struts and Steeda CC plates.
-MM urethane spring isolators and swaybar bushings.

I think that's it, I might have forgot a couple.

I know for the extra money of the Mach I could add a blower, turbo, etc. But that's not what I'm wanting. My period of wanting to have the fastest car possible is over. I want a low mileage stock car that looks and runs good, the Mach is exactly that. The one I'm buying is bone stock (still has original tires and brakes) and will be kept that way. The only mods I want is a shifter, tinted windows and maybe exhaust. It has a Ford extended warranty and I don't want to ruin that.

I went and test drove it today and loved it. The car ran good (very nice powerband), had good seats and the shaker hood is killer from the inside. I've had three sn95's (2 Cobra's and 1 v6), I'm ready for a change of pace. Not to mention I've wanted a Mach since they came out. The money will be sent out tomorrow so I hope to be in it by next weekend. There will be pics of them both together when I get it.

You are a stronger man than I, if you can stick to a shifter, tint, and exhaust. LOL

nice car, but i wouldnt buy any 94-04 car over what you have now unless it were an 03/04 cobra. I see it as more of a lateral move otherwise. Mach1s are great and all, but for the difference in price the cobras are a better buy and will bring more money down the road. Just wait until people cant touch shelby's for lesss than 45-50k, a 25-30k 03/04 cobra becomes very attractive as an alternative.

I love your current car, i think i really want to own one someday. btw wanna trade headlights and $$$ or sell yours if you still have your stockers. btwx2 get a cobra instead.

I appreciate everyone's opinion but this thread wasn't asking advice. It was to inform you of what I was doing. My mind is made up, the deal is made. Like it or not as of tom. I'm a Mach owner.

I've said from day one I'd rather have a Mach than an 03-4 Cobra, I wasn't kidding. The Cobra's are great but I have no desire to own one.
