    I thought I would post some pics of my 2003 Mach1 that I sold to get the 2008 GT/CS. I really loved this car and it would get alot of attention when I would go to any Mustang meet but, I am so happy I jumped ship to the S197's.:D

    Nice MACH! We had three(white, Azure & yellow)show up this past Saturday at our Stang Club meeting:rock:
    Since you said you were happy to jump ship, what are some of those reasons?

    The biggest thing is comfort. Being 6'1" and 296lbs, the S197 is far more roomy than the previous Mustangs. The second is the 5 speed auto. I've driven many older Mustangs with autos but would never own one because they just didn't seem to perform well. My wife can't drive a standard so this is the first one we've owned that she can drive. Third I just love the way the S197 looks. IMO Ford was right on with the retro look of these cars.

    I had a 2003 Mach 1, same color. I loved it and I wish I still had it. But I also love my 2007 GT, torch red, and have never regretted buying it.

    I'm with you. I have thought about adding the CS fascia, front and rear, to my torch red GT.
