I could be wrong tho..<br /><br />IMO, if you want a n/a 4v modular stang... go for the 03/04 mach1's. There's a solid rear with 3.55's already in them, and they make great power.

The 01 was the one i liked the least. The 03 was the more powerful of them all without a doubt and the most fun to ride in.

Honestly though, the engines in both of them are crap (again, my opinion). I had nothing but problems with my '01. But of the two, I'd take the '99 because the IRS makes the car feel pretty solid on the street. My '01 (vert) with 4.30 gears was a lot of fun. Not fast at all, but definitely a lot of fun in city driving. The damn thing was so unreliable though, and it seemed like whenever I decided to gas it, it might blow. 4 engines in 15,000 miles. And that was just the engine (numerous leaks, 2 new rearends, blown shock, leaking lights, etc)<br /><br />I'd rather have a '94-95 Cobra over a '96-01 Cobra though. That n/a DOHC Cobra engine has a very bad reputation with me. <br /> </font> </td></tr> </table></td></tr></table> <br /> <br />
