i do believe the mach 1's come with 3:55 gears, different cams, i think different head work(not sure tho) and are a little faster than the 99-01 cobras. they also have the solide rear end too. the termis also come with a 6 speed tranny and a better irs if i am not mistaken.

ok here's the info you need.
99-01 cobra 320hp 317tq
03-04 mach 1 305hp 320tq (underrated actual ~320)

these cars are so close tot he same that it isnt funny. its a drivers race. the cobras have a 9.5:1 and the mach 1's have a 10.1:1 compression ratio. the machs have the intake cams off a cobra and the exhaust cams from a navigator this is where the better torque comes from. also the Irs on the cobra makes for a smoother ride, but not a great on the strip. the cobras came with 3.27's the mach came with 3.55's and both are five speeds.

i think thats everything.

best bang for buck cobra/mach goes to the termie, but the mach 1 is the same motor w/out the SC and the iron block. you can get a high mileage 03-04 for around 18-20k, a low mileage mach is about 18-20k.

03/04 Cobra's also got the 3:55's. The IRS for the 03/04's was upgraded a bit but still is very if the bushing's aren't swapped and a brace put on. And the head work on the Mach's are different from the 99/01 Cobra's.

Default RE: cobra/ mach1

hmm... so really the only differance is the block and the s/c, well the 6 speed tranny, but over all i love the outside look of a termi, and the inside look of a mach... so maybe ill get the mach and put the cobra kit on it and find somthin to do with the hood of the mach... after i get the mach paid off i could get the s/c... hmmm decisions haha, the iron block of the cobra would make it hevier than the mach correct?... all this info and anything more is awesome because i plan on buying which ever one i choose and it will be mine for the rest of my life...
