[QUOTE="ONEbadmachONE, post: 2234760, member: 29977"] The 03 04 cobra def has more power, there is no question there. The mach has some handling issues too but they can be easily resolved and they can be made to handle as well as a cobra. As far as trannys go, the mach has a 5 speed as opposed to a 6 speed. Less gears in the same area means less breakage. The 5 speeds are much more durable than the 6 speeds. You might consider an auto. I know usually that is a dirty word but you need to drive a mach auto. They come with a shift kit from the factory and have incredibly firm shifts. They also have ceramic coated gears and many internal parts are also coated. Mustangs and Fast Fords says they are bulletproof up to around 500hp. As you may know sluggish shifts are what make an auto suck and not last long. The mach auto has none of these characteristics. It actually burns rubber with the traction control on when going from first to second. And I dont mean a chirp! I certainly didnt mean to trash on cobras I love cobras, in fact I love ALL mustangs. I just think if you are drag racing you should get a Mach. The irs is not good for launching but it rocks in cornering! If you do get a Mach and you want it to launch like crazy and handle like a cobra, I suggest you look into the steeda 5 link suspension.
