Recently I picked up a 01 GT (flood car) and would like to do something different, as it's going to be a long road back to running/driving...but I'm torn. On one hand I'd like to do a 03-04 Cobra clone...but the other, a Mach1 Clone. The car yellow, so it can go either way. If it were your car...and didn't want to keep it stock (a GT)...

What would you do?

Even tho I loved my Mach, the Cobra has the cleanest lines ever. I'd say Cobra.

Are you talking about making the body a clone, or body + engine, etc.

Either way, the 03-04 cobra sounds a little more appealing to me - though it's probably going to be more expensive as well.

Ok, I'm going with the Fishtank look. It's decided. [Razz]

I'm leaning towards a Mach1 clone. I like the Cobra, but I'm trying to keep this one CHEAP!! Still deciding though...

Hey John,

I say go w/ the Mach look. With some 18 deep dish Mach 1 wheels. It would look great. Especialy if you get that ram air hood. But go with a different spoiler. Good luck [patriot]
