i,m a little late on this but the mach handle,s great and lot,s of power stoke also, and if you worry about fuel and insurance, it,s a bit more on the cobra,i have a budy up here that say,s his fuel bill suck,s just going on short cruise,s, but each to there on so good luck eh

Alright, so here's the deal. I've ridden in a bunch of Machs, have owned three Mustangs, and I currently have an 03 Cobra Convertible.

If you are just going to cruise around, don't want to drag, or anything like that, you'll get the Mach.

BUT

It WILL limit your power potential. When I bought my Terminator, I swore I would never mod it. Now it makes 460 to the wheels, and screams every time the T/B opens all the way. Don't sell yourself short here, you WILL change your mind, and you WILL modify the car. Hands down, the Cobra is the car you want.

You'll spend more, but you'll never be unhappy, the potential on the stock block is limitless. 1000+ hp has been done on the STOCK motor (by stock I mean stock short block).

the termi are almost unbeatable ! true beast and damn so sexy !

At the scream of that Eaton, is the best music in the world!

I kind of dig the Eaton on my 09 gt500. The sound of the blower is pure sex:tup

make sure u save some money for insurance.lol

and rear tires ;)

Yeah the TVS by Eaton is a good blower, they got the scream just right!

I'm lucky to be living in Alberta. Insurance on the 09 gt500 totals out at 464.00 per year full coverage. I have to drive it less than 5000 kms per year which is not an issue:tup

Bottom line, for the difference you pay up front, you'll spend more trying to make the Mach1 as fast as your friends Cobra.

Just make the right choice now, and you'll be happy forever-
