Im a fifty man looking to get into the 4.6 scene...I know the cobra has the charger, but which has more potential as an everyday car? I plan on a few bolt ons here and there, but nothing too major...I pretty much just want a car that's quick, and loud...So I was interested in everyone's input.

cobra is the better bet. Or buy a mach 1 and put a procharger on it.

+1. Id say cobra but i love the mach's also...and if you can throw on a pro-charger with a good tune on the mach that wont blow the engine you'll be set and have no regrets. then you can do some easy weight reduction here and there and be under 3300 depending on what you do. I believe they weigh 34xx stock? might be able to get it to 3200's ![[burnout]](graemlins/burnout.gif)
but you can also get a cobra into the low 11's pretty easliy if you can drive ![[patriot]](graemlins/patriot.gif) or with some practice like I needed haha d'oh

Well an 04 mach 1 and 04 cobra have about a 7000 dollar difference in price, which is not a big deal for me... I know the cobra is basically all you can get out of a stock mustang in 04, but the mach1 has its own history and is capable of being quick...I'm trying to get back into the mustangs, because I miss when I had the fifty people would come up and admire the car and notice the little things, like why I had chrome ponies and not 22 inch rims. You can't get that out of most cars nowadays, especially imports! Can I get the same out of the cobra and mach1, and is the cobra worth the extra 7 or so thousand???

I went through the same dilemma...found a cobra with 50k and a Mach with 17k...price diff wasn't much seeing as the Mach had warranty and was at Hayward Ford and cobra was private party......although I regret not having the ability to make easy power with forged internals stock, I don't regret anything else about the choice I made...I love when people dont know what it is.....and I see way more COBRAS daily then I do machs...IIRC they made less machs then cobras...

From a former Mach 1 owner, buy the Cobra. There's nothing wrong with a Mach 1 but the Cobra is on another level with it's performance potential.

Here's my take on it...
If you're looking to eventually reach 600 RWHP, go with the Cobra. If you're fine with 450 RWHP, go with the Mach 1. This assuming you keep the stock block in each. Either way, you can't go wrong. I got a Cobra because it was a really good deal.
