Mach 1 vs Cobra: Battle of Baddest Mustangs
The Similarities End With the Four-Valve 4.6

It is an older article, but a good read. Really states what todays Mustangs offer compared to yesteryear.

I am bias towards the Mach. lol

Good article.Muscle Mustangs had a good one last year with all three,the '04 Cobra,'04 Mach 1,which both were stick,and the '04 Special Edition Crimson Red GT,but in a auto ,it should've been a stick along with the other two .But still a good article.

Good find gfong. I also have a bias for the Mach. Have you seen this article on the best of the NA 4.6's? Mach 1 vs Bullitt vs 99 Cobra.

I knew those Bullitts were no slouch. I agree with 5 point, 03-04 Terminator Cobra is a MUST HAVE.

He never said the Cobra was automatic.

^maybe he was referring to the fact that there is no need to point out the Cobra is stick.

The 03/04 Cobra's will be the best of the Cobra's.....

Even though the new "Shelby" will make more power and have a bigger motor it will be a PIG and probally run the same times as a 03.

It took me a while, but I learned dyno numbers mean $hit and weight is VERY VERY important, as well as getting the power to the ground

Prime Example --> my 03 cobra that ran a 12.0 @ 124 with 550rwhp. It now weighs about 350+ less than factory and has a solid axle with drag suspension....this will probally shave close to 1sec off my time
