MPG=cobra 16 city and 22 highway

not a big difference between the two

Really, the Mach has always been a favourite of mine, love the interior, engine and shaker hood.
AND I QOUTE
Fuel economy would make a difference, especially since I'd be on it all day.
ONCE AGAIN YOU DO NOT BY A MUSTANG FOR FUEL ECONOMY :
buy what ever one you like. dont buy it because all of us like it..

I'd take a babied Mach over a hard driven Cobra.....and it would probably be cheaper to boot

Thanks for the kind words man, stop being such a tool!!

you asked, what you should do...
and you said keep in mind that it was going to be a daily driver....
usually when someone says that. the are refering to three things #1gas #2milage and #3ride quality. (in my opinion taht is what the are asking about)
so i said cobra...why, ***KEEP IN MIND THIS IS ONLY MY OPINION***
#1 the ride is going to be better because of the IRS and other little things that SVT might have done.
#2 the quality i would hope that the quality in a SVT would be better that a mach 1 (but hey it is ford) so you never know.
#3 fuel milage who gives a about that.(when buying a mustang ESP a cobra or mach) excpet you that siad that fuel milage would make a difference...
so i went and looked up the EPA MPG...you know just to help a brother out.(thinking you should have allready known them) Just for a BALLPARK figures.
it puts both the numbers right infront of your face.
if you get on either one hard and burn around your fuel economy will go down teh toilet.
all im saying is if you are THAT worried about fuel aconomy go buy a honda.
understand why you perturbed me?

Well, I guess I'll keep my questions to myself if I'm bothering you then. Take a look at the other responses-that's what I was looking for and that's what I THOUGHT this site was about, I stand corrected.
