I think you guys are confused lol I have a 500hp gt that was cheaper than a 500hp cobra a 500hp mach that i built that i still have less invested in then a cobra. My reason for buying the mach over the cobra was that i planned on building the car anyways. So why spend 8gs more for a cobra at the time then buy a mach and have it built! So instead of haveing a bolt on cobra for 2Xk i have a BUILT Mach for 2Xk.

Only thing i envy about the cobras are the seats bc i liked the swade in my Lightning.

Automatic transmission for me. By the time I put an auto in a termi, I've blown a lot of money on a car. Plus I love the look of the Mach 1.

Lets see some pics!!!:beer:

Cobra guys of envy or my Mach ?
the Mach :D your Mach is badass :rockon:

oh and I decided on the Mach because I loved the sharper lines (especially with the 01 cobra bumper), also I understand that the cobra is a better all around platform but i'd enjoy seeing my car created lol and not to mention that most cobra owners swap blowers anyway lol so that extra cash added on to what the cobra already cost, would be more than a built Mach (just my opinion)... By the way love the Mach and the cobra, my brother has an 04 cobra and it is quite a beast :rockon:

nice car. looks like you spent a TON of money. put it up for sale and see how much you get offered for it. id be interested to see the offers. bet its no where near what you put in it, in fact id be willing to bet its no where near what a terminator sells for. but considering it has 1000 hp, and there werent that many of them built, ill offer you 15k$
^^^^^another reason to buy a terminator.

Yea, I've personally seen and heard LineUmUp's Mach, It would TERMINATE most street cobras easily. His is still street legal too :CHEERS:

I love the look of the Mach1's a lot better then the cobras. Plus I knew I wasn't going to leave it stock and now that I am making over 750rwhp not too many cobra's stand a chance of beating me. ;)

Either compare stock for stock, price for price or STFU. I'm waiting for the 10,000-15,000 90 Notch 5.0 build pushing 1000HP to come in now to compare more apples to oranges.
Like I said I own both and the Mach1 "TO ME" doesn't even compare. I love my Mach and she is beautiful and a freaking blast to drive! But the Cobra...is in another league. :bored:

Silver03Termi-Your making me look bad...STFU:nonono:

nothing left on your car is mach anyways. I would have got a V6 and built that.


Like I said bang for the buck terminator wins every time.


You have a nice car but its only faster cause it has more money in it. Like I said I could put your set up in a v6 body does that make the v6 better:beer:

A V6 isnt an Rcode . A V6 is a V6 no matter how you look at it . Well it does have some money in it and it is quite fast .

But honestly dude , as far as for the buck the terminator wins everytime . I feel your seriously wrong . I could borrow my neighbors unmolested Mach with under 300 RWHP and blow your doors off . Do you actually know how to drive that car ? :lol:

Um just gonna though this out there but i have never been beaten by a cobra! Even when all i had was bolt ons i beat numerous cobras at the track so i still dont see your logic.

Ok how about this I paid 23k for my Mach1 brand new. I have about 4K into my turbo build and fuel system. $1k in suspension work, about $2k in motor work. $250 in 31 spline axles, Diff was free, stock gears, and lets just say $750 in misc. bs. So that is $8k worth of mods plus $23K for the car. $31K for the car and mods and having over 750rwhp. Still cheaper then a Cobra and a lot faster. :):poke::D:beer:

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)

How is it that your stock bottom end is holding up that much power? Sounds like money well spent...but a fast honda civic is still a honda civic.(exageration...of course) Just depends on what you own your car for. You could have bought a roller 5.0 and spent ALOT less money and been alot faster which goes back to apples and oranges. -Shane

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.

GTFO Phonies...:poke:
