Yea sold them both...dude came with 3 people and got em both.

I have a 66 New Yorker and 2 69 lemans. One of which I may be selling because it was a donor car.

Well good thing is now I can just talk smack and give computer advice on the forums. SInce I have no real purpose anymore [Razz] ...My plan is if I get back into stangs it will be a mach, roush or cobra. No more foxes unless its a cobra.

I cannot lie....I have a appt at a dealership to check out a mach. What would be a good price to pay for one? So I go in there armed with knowledge. I believe it is a 04.

Mach 1 has a 4v in it.

Honestly, right now is the best time to buy one because the prices are at an all time low, i have seen some go for around 15k with around 40k miles which is a pretty good deal considering i paid almost double that(hayward ford stealership) in the summer of 07 for my 04 with 17k miles. Overall im glad i went with the mach, because although it is N/A, it is no slouch, it ran a 13.3 stock besides mufflers on street tires burning rubber every shift...Its a pretty good platform to build on seeing as it has a solid rear end vs. the cobra's irs which is known for that hoppity-hop....Go with a Mach 1 and i promise you will never regret it.

lol @ 50deep, thanks for the colorful commentary.

I am also looking at a certain members saleen. ;P btu I am not sure if I want to get into a payment right now. Everything I have I own and have the pink for and it feels good.

Thanks guys.

I like the Mach's (as my friend has one) but the way I see it, if you are going into payments, you might as well get the 03/04 Cobra.
You'll spend another 6-8 grand but you'll be capable of stomping just about any car out there.
I guess I should speak for myself. I'm just tired of having all these cars I have to keep modifying to keep up. It would be nice to have something ready to go.
If your looking for an everyday comfortable ride, then its a cool car.

The last time I was stangless was about 5 or so years ago. I was broke and just bought a house, so I had no choice but to ditch the 91lx [Frown] . Well on the better note I have two again and should sell one but I don't think that will happen because I like them both (probably happen if I loose my storage in the next 20yrs). One day I'll find a fox body that I'll like enough to keep until then I'll just have two old mustangs [Wink] .
 
Posted by N8 (Member # 6048) on :
 
I keep finding myself trolling craigslist now looking at stangs..lol. I think I have Vehicular A.D.D. But I really want to get out of foxes. Unless its a really nice coupe or a Cobra.

Cant go wrong with a Mach or a Cobra N8.... But IMO, although the Cobra's are faster, & more refined, the Machs stand out from the crowd & are more rare.


From what I have seen N8 post on here, he aint all about speed & modding his cars to go faster, so why spend the extra 5-7k for a Cobra if thats not his Forte anyway???
 
Posted by N8 (Member # 6048) on :
 
hahaha, I am definitely a more show than go type of person. Hell I dont even drive fast. The thing is I really do not want a payment right now. That is the one hurdle. I do like the look of the Machs. Cobras seem to hold value better. I would want something to hold onto basically. I am not really into modding like Epik pointed out.

machs and cobras are badass...bullits are sick aswell with no wing they look mean. if your not into the go factor the 2v wouldnt be a problem?? and every color mach is great looking except yellow imo.

I got the perfect "show" not much "go" car for you bro! Let me know what the wife says [Wink]

Really looking to sell it soon so I can pick up a fox coupe...AutoX season is right around the corner and I think a foxbody would be a better choice to beat up [Big Grin]

If you caught that much you should have also caught that I have 5 boys (2 teens) and a wife. They make my wage look like minimum wage. But my 401k is cool and their college is taken care of [patriot] I have a different set of priorities than most. Like I got a nice bonus from a client. I looked at Roushes and was prepared to cash out. What did I do? Bought 4 decked out Area 51's for my company. 2 Boxx stations. Thought about adding raised floors to my home for a mini data center. Oh and I supplemented our rendering farm. Not much room for a car after that. [patriot]

Epik I would go with black or that clean ass orange. I am also thinking about the saleen here? Damn you epik, you just made my mind wander again. Must not buy car, must not buy car....must not buy car.

This is how I see it. If your a car guy your a car guy. No ifs, ands or buts. You will always look and have a need. [patriot] [Razz]
 
Posted by N8 (Member # 6048) on :
 
Also I do not get the whole 2v 4v, thing. Is it that one has more possibilities or starts off as a faster car? I know cobras are historically faster but as pointed out I am more into show and collectible/rare factor. But this is not to say I wanna get my ass handed to me by Yugo's.
