Greeting everyone! Just became a new member but have been a Stang owner before. I sold my Bullitt (great car)about a year ago to buy a Z06, big mistake. Sold it recentlyand am again looking to return to Mustangs.</P>
Here's a questionof you all. </P>
I'm looking at a choice of (1) a 2004 Mach 1 (Blue), (2) a new 2003 Saleen S-281 non-s/c (white) or (3) a new 2003 anniversary Cobra. Out the door prices are 1. $25,900 2. $31,640 3. $33,588</P>
The Mach is retro yes but is similar to my past Bullitt. The Saleen has the look and ride I really like and the Cobra is just plain bad, add a few mods and it would be killer.</P>
WHICH WOULD YOU BUY ????????????????</P>
Thanks and Regards</P>
</P>

you've got all the facts, it's just about how much you wanna spend. recognize that na saleens are not a good value and are basically an overpriced slightly modded gt. i'd go mach...DOHC, cool look, sweet color, sweeter price (for what you get it's probably the best value)</P>

Since you don't seem as interested in speed as others, go with the Mach over the GT with a body kit and the faster, yet overpriced Cobra.

I have never owned a stang but I love the new look of the 2005. A friend of mine owned a stang 1989 5.0 liter and loved it. You might wait and check out the new 2005 stang before you buy. I am definately in the market for the new one coming out. Just a suggestion.

tough choice between the mach and the cobra, i would wait and see if they come out with a new shelby stang!!!
390 hp and 390 lb. ft torque.... a couple thou more for all that, plus it's a ten year anniversary. I think the collector value will be high for an 03 Cobra in my opinion because they're taking a break in 05 and coming back totaly differant, so I'd go with the Cobra for nostalgia purposses. Plus it's a Stang, you can't go wrong.<img border="0" src=smileys/smiley16.gif border="0">
