All it is currently is two different cars. One you are used too and one you aren't. SOTP feel means squat. Your SS may have felt quicker, but I can assure you, once you get some seat time and used to that mach......the ETs will be on par. Also, since your an fbod guy, one thing you should know, mustangs can be deceiving. Next time get on the highway and just cruise, then look down at your MPH. 9 of 10 times you'll be going faster than you think. Every stang I've owned has done that....even my 65. The right is much smoother (generally, not always) in stangs than Fbods. Not only that, the Fbod's have some nice TQ with the LS motor.

BTW - that is one sweet looking SS you had. Too bad it was taken away from you. GO to the mach1 registry, pick up a used SLP LM1 catback or BOrla Stingers. ONce you put those on and have the sound, you may start to think differently, just on that alone.




an thanx man...she WAS A BEAUT.....but sux what happened..

Get the Borla Stingers and go with a good Off Road X-pipe. I have a Dr. Gas Off Road and man how good it sounds. I wasn't a fan of the UPR but I haven't heard a Pypes Off Road yet. The Borla's just give it a different sound and those 3" tips look great out the back. Just curious did you ever run the SS at the track? What times? With just exhaust, diablo tuner and a cold air kit and fats and skinnies my Mach went 12.60 @ 110. They are fun N/A with some bolt on mod's but they are even more fun with some boost. :rockon:

thats a sick lookin mach man...
what color is that comp. orange or tr...what kind of rims..want some for mine
i want either fr500 chrome black, or the ccw's

Just hold onto it for a while. I think youll like it after a few mods. I'd say midpipe, catback, gear, intake for a start

If you can get a deal on the Cobra then performance wise it will be the better bang for the buck. For a fun N/A car on the street or at the track. The MACH FTMFW! :beer:

You made a dumbass purchase if you are trying to turn around and sell it. You won't turn a profit on it either with the market in its current state. You'll be lucky to break even.

Dont sell the Mach. A cobra is bad-ass but your mach can be just as bad or badder than a ported & pullied Termi. The Mach's are also Limited Edition unlike Termi's

i have no idea where you can get them they were on the car when i bought it but like everyone else is saying just hold on to the car for a while and you will change your mind. i have 2 friends that drive fast as hell cobra but i would take my roommates mach that has a built motor and a vortech over their cobras anyday. plus they made less machs then cobras and even less white ones so you already have one of the rarest new edge stangs. get some mods and then think about it P.S. mac exhaust FTMFW

i have been wondering the same thing im sure it has something to do with your VIN and if your going to do louvers do the metal ones not the cheap plastic ones they were on the car when i bought it too and they went as soon as i got it home i think they look better w/o the louvers on the rear windows personally
