Would you trade your Mach for an 03-04 Cobra? - 2003-04 Mach 1 Registry Owners Club

HamMach1 · 07-29-2012, 06:21 PM

Would you do it? For the power, potential, etc? Or keep the mach and make it fast...er.

Sublimemach · 07-29-2012, 06:28 PM

yes! as long as i got a white/silver/orange/or mineral grey Termi lol

JDraper · 07-29-2012, 06:31 PM

Mach stays

HamMach1 · 07-29-2012, 06:33 PM

I love my car, but **** I've been on a Cobra fever for a while and have been wondering if its worth it

Thunderbolt · 07-29-2012, 07:55 PM

No. It would have to be for a Boss for me, but even the payments after selling it would still be rediculous. I think I'll still have the Mach for quite afew more years.

SHAKN' 04 · 07-29-2012, 08:03 PM

I wanted one since I bought the mach. It's cheaper to do an eatonswap and a built motor lol

311-420 · 07-29-2012, 08:06 PM

A white or red '12 Boss is next

devous1 · 07-29-2012, 08:08 PM

Be happy with what you have and stay the hell out of the dealerships. We purchased a new Transit for work Sat and he had about 6 Mustangs in the showroom including 3 Boss cars. Man, I was only in the place for about 45 min but I was already trying to figure out what to sell, or how I could get away with an unauthorized purchase.

Keep the Mach and make it fast.

MACH1RAMAIR · 07-29-2012, 08:24 PM

NO, I could have bought a Cobra when I ordered my Mach and I could buy a Boss now, but I won't.
It's not all about speed.

Would it have anything to do with Govt Motors and the bail out? I was a 35 yr trash Ford every chance I could get person too.

You are 100% right. Sometimes its better to be different....sometimes. IMO the cobras just arent as rare as the Machs. But the man in me sometimes wants the power. But the limited number of machs you see is nice too....Then again, theres just something about the whine of a supercharger....

For me, if the Mach goes, a GT500 or a Boss is what will take its place. But my goal is to have both in my garage at the same time.

Same here. I prefer my Mach. Love the look, the way it sounds and drives.

I took my mach down to the dealership & drove a Boss & was allowed to get into it, nice car had a lot of power, when we got back I looked over at my Mach & said no thanks I even was given a good deal.
PS Every time I go to that dealership the owner trys to buy my Mach, I told him he doesn't have enough money.

You took the words right out of my mouth, I am with you on this 100%.

vertigyn · 07-29-2012, 10:48 PM

Too much money into the Mach now...but would have got a cobra of I had the money at the time. I've spent a lot to get my car even with a pullied cobra...would have been cheaper and more reliable to have started with a cobra in the end.

muzman · 07-29-2012, 11:12 PM

no shaker, no history= no cobra

mach18604 · 07-30-2012, 09:25 AM

I will be looking for a mach this Dec... I also have a 03-04 Cobra on my mind ;-)

Id rather have a Mach and add a blower.. love the look!

934vModFox · 07-30-2012, 09:41 AM

I would trade my Mach for a Cobra

Mach351 · 07-30-2012, 09:49 AM

if the it is a straight up trade and the Cobra is clean with the same or less mileage, definitely

TRMach1 · 07-30-2012, 10:07 AM

For a Terminator? Nah. For a Shelby, already did!

Unrealford · 07-30-2012, 10:25 AM

For a Cobra, maybe the 03 anniversary edition, otherwise, there too plain looking, great engines though of course.

Mustang owner since 84

Mach828 · 07-30-2012, 11:02 AM

I would trade for a Cobra if it had a built auto, twin turbos, SRA, and a different hood. Other than that, no thanks.

That aint gonna happen.

73mach03 · 07-30-2012, 09:48 PM

Nope. The Mach 1 is fast enough for me and I like the looks of a Mach 1 far more.

Code Orange · 07-30-2012, 10:37 PM

Before I bought my car I thought I wanted a Cobra. But I loved the style and limited production of the Mach 1. When I found my Mach 1 with a vortech, never thought about a Cobra again.
