Hello From Jersey - 2003-04 Mach 1 Registry Owners Club

Machdis1 · 07-25-2008, 09:43 PM

Whats up Guys, First off i dont own a Mustang nor a Mach 1 but would like to get one in the future, i was orignally looking at getting a 03-04 Terminator but there a little to pricey. i realized i could get a mach for a portion of the price 10-20G not to bad compared to 20G-30G if not more. Now here's another question would i be better off getting a SN95 Cobra or should i save a little more to get a Mach. the Mach is a amazing car even though ive never driven or sat in one. My whole plan is to beat my Neighbors 2005 Ford GT his got a whipple supercharger pushing 720HP to the crank and like 690 to the wheels. would i be able to beat him with a Mach with the right Supercharger or should i get spray along with it. he's got exhaust and what not done to his car to. Also what's the best exhaust to get for the stang is it a Mac Cat-back or should i get a Borla Stinger with a Bassani X-pipe. which would be louder. A Mac exhaust or some other type. i need suggestions people lol. this isnt the only car my neighbor has either he just got a Dodge Challenger SRT-8 not sure if its a 08 or 09 but its Torid Red and i noticed they only made that color in 09 and they just came out with Manual's for the 09 challenger's the challenger shouldnt be a problem for the stang. Now keep in Mind iam not gonna do every modification at once. Iam probably gonna get the S/C last since thats gonna cost the most money like 2-3G. then I am gonna have to get a tune and what not correct?. like i said if anyone has suggestions please feel free to list them for me.

Welcome. If your trying to beat your neighbor realize is a race of money and can you out spend him. I would buy a Mach I really have enjoyed mine and just enjoy driving a really cool car that gets many looks when your driving. The problem with HP is if you have to much it really makes the car more of a race car and that's not to fun to drive everyday.

Well what I am saying is i could buy a car for like 5% of the cost of a Ford GT and put about a 10G and make the car faster then his and when it all said and then i still have a faster car at a fraction of the cost of what he paid for the GT isnt that sad. would you agree or disagree. now having a Cobra would be a whole another ball game.

Terminator with a pulley job and minor mods will work out cheaper I suspect (and a heck of a lot less hassle too).

Machdis1 · 07-25-2008, 11:58 PM

like i said id like to get a cobra but the insurance may be a little cheaper for a mach then for a cobra. i think the reason the insurance is more expensive for the cobra is the fact its got a supercharger.

you wont get 700hp without FI on a mach-1 unless you get it to rev to around 10K rpm. I'd assume you'd inform your insurance co of any mods...

eventually i will get spray. i was reading on here that someone was pushing over 700 to the crank and wheels. on a 2.3L Whipple at like 25 PSI. thats prety **** good and those are close the GT Numbers my neighbor has.

Welcome from Tacoma, Washington.

Machdis1 · 07-26-2008, 09:08 AM

thanks for the welcome's does anyone have any idea's on how this would be possible. what's the best loud exhaust you can get for the mustang? is it the the Mac-Catback or is it a combo of 2 exhaust. like Borla and Bassani.

rugs04mach · 07-26-2008, 10:11 AM

any off-road mid pipe will be loud with the stingers!

tumbleweedmb70 · 07-26-2008, 01:29 PM

If your worried about the difference in cost of insurance between a Mach and a Cobra than I'm gonna go out on a limb and say you can't afford to outrun your nieghbors GT. Don't worry about "keeping up with the Jones" just get what makes you happy. Not trying to be a downer or anything just a realistic point of view.

Sure. A whipple will be more than "like 2-3g". You'll also need to completely rebuild the motor. Don't forget extra sticky tires and suspension so you can actually put the 700whp down. Stock trans/clutch probably won't take very well to 700whp either, nor the rear end. You would spend the cost of a cobra alone and then some modding a mach 1 to beat your neighbors supercar.

Machdis1 · 07-26-2008, 07:58 PM

actually i dont think thats true. but yea id probably need to get new tires

Nekasrof · 07-26-2008, 10:10 PM

1 thing you need to beat your neighbor's car is cash and a lot of it.

Hello, by the way.
