@osnola1986 a stock cobra is a lot slower. besides a mach1 is stealthier.  Everyone knows the cobra has a supercharger already. no one expects a mach1 to be supercharged.

@osnola1986 The mach1 have also lowered in price, the difference between the 2 is still very similar.

@blown06tc That was 4 years ago.... now that the new cobra is out, old cobras have lowered down in price and his comment was 2 months ago. Back then yeah it couldve been cheaper.

@osnola1986 Here you go...I bought my mach1 for 18k( 4 years ago when same mileage cobras were going for 27-28k). $3500 for the Eaton swap = $21.5k, still 6k cheaper than a cobra. Better brakes yes, better suspension is debatable since the solid rear axle in the mach is more of a drag racing application(which most mustang owners do) where the IRS in the cobra is more of a circuit track setup.

@blown06tc I want numbers. A Mach 1 in good shape is between $14k-$18k + Cobra motor=$3k-$4k + Labor = $17k-$22k . Better safe yourself the trouble and get a stock terminator cobra for $20k-$22k and it comes with better quality products (suspension, brakes, etc etc).

@osnola1986 You couldn't be more wrong. But thats fine, thats your opinion.

@chrsmoore91 Too expensive haha. Cheaper to buy a stock cobra.

@2007ShelbyCobra Thanks.

[2007ShelbyCobra]

sounds awsome

[blown06tc]

@chrsmoore91 Thanks. I paid about $3500 for the parts with all the bells and whistles. After selling most of the stock parts Im down to below $2500 total price and I still got a couple more parts to sell.
