Venom4.6 said:I'd say the Mach, hands down. Equal drivers the Mach will pull. Mach has solid axle. Compression is 10.0 to 1 on the Mach vs. 9.5 to 1 on the Cobra. The Mach also has different cams. I've personally seen a couple of Mach 1's dyno just over 300hp with a catback. Ford really underrated the Mach with the #'s they put out.

I agree with most of the intelligent responses here. In a drag-race, the Mach has a slight edge over the 01 snake for two reasons: the main one being the solid axle/3.55 & second being the very very minor upgrades to the heads/cams. Start modding and all bets are off. Also, on the AutoX course, you'd find me choosing the snake as my weapon of choice hands down.
Also remember this: What the mach gains in TQ down low, it gives back in HP up high. that's a fact. I've driven both. the mach runs out of steam. Its got nothing (in stock form) above 6k. the cobra pulls much harder to 7K. But in a stoplight race, the mach will show the cobra its taillights, but not by much.
And i like both rides very much.

End of Discussion
SVOKING said:Truth is, who cares what the name is??? The Mach 1 is still a FORD MUSTANG and its better in all aspects than the 01 Cobra. Nuff said.
Some of you Cobra boys sound like ricers when you spout off about "I have a COBRA..." or "but mines a Cobra" or " you can't beat the legend of the Cobra"
bla bla bla its all a bunch of ricer talk. Numbers are what matters and the Mach 1 has the 01 Cobra beat in them all. When a Mach 1 blows by your 01 Cobra, does it give you a smile to say "but I have a Cobra"? lol Ricers
SVOKING said:once again....the Mach 1 engine is NOT and will NEVER be a COBRA derived motor.
It has nothing to do with an 01 Cobra Engine. Its far better!!
SVOKING said:I frequently win versus ls1s. Very frequently. You need to give credit when its due mister. We have Mach 1's running just shy of 11's with nothing but weight reductions and exhaust. I sence a little jealousy about the Mach 1?? You must own an 01 Cobra.....
SVOKING said:The fact is the 01 Cobra is old news. The 03 Mach 1 is the "in thing" and with the release of the 03 Cobra...the 01 Cobra is becoming more and more forgotten each day.
Therefore, my car at the moment get lots more attention than yours and I would say it gets more than the 03 Cobra too.
