^ oh BOOO

i thought you got a newer mach1.

This is more of a laterally movement but obviously you can be faster in the 1/4 then any G on this board for a smaller amount of money.

If i was to get a stand i would get the same gen mach1 as yourself. Mainly because all the cobras are beat to crap.

 

Ya its not a bad combo, get all the benifits as the cobra, ie brembo brakes and better 4v motor only difference is solid axle and blower. its nada value is 14.5k whereas mine is 9.5k, so its value wise better.

 

that's a nice color. to each his own, whatever makes you happy is all good (as long as it is not illegal).

 

The brakes aren't brembo. The calipers are made by PBR (australian OEM company). Just the rotors are made by Brembo


You seem to be missing a few key Mach 1 parts...ie the chin spoiler and hood and rocker tape stripes have been removed. Has the car been hit in the front?

PS..i've personally driven a Mach 1 (bone stock) to a 13.6 in the 1/4mile. There's a well-known PRO driver (Evan Smith, MM&FF)who got a stock one to a 12.9 with just a set of Drag Radials bolted on. They can move pretty well with a good driver.

 

i have the chin spoiler pulled off in garage right now, it had hail damage and the stripes were not put back on. it has the black retro interior and the silver gauges with 6800 redline, it has the tr3650. is yours an 04 or 03? looks like 04 by color. ive seen a video of one running 12.6 very few bolt-ons with slicks. i just read about the brake being brembo, there supposedly 14" rotors, but still have a floating caliper. they are very weak compared to the oem brembos on the g's.

 

there seems to be work to be done. offset/lowering and a nice polish

 

They must be terrible then.

 

That one's not mine, but I had a 2003. It's gone now...sold it to buy my G35x back in 2007. I had two Mustangs, so one had to go for a "winter-capable" car. But that picture is of a 2004

They are solid cars though. I had mine for 80K miles and didn't have a single warranty issue, TSB, squeak or rattle, etc. It was probably the most reliable car I owned...and i beat the hell out of it at the track. I bought it brand new in 2003, and took care of it, so it was like new when i got rid of it. I really regret getting rid of it.

The Front brakes are 13", the rears 11.65". The only Brembo part is that the front rotors are made by Brembo, but they aren't anything special. Brembo does make OEM replacement blanks..and that's what these are. The calipers are 2-piston floating calipers made by PBR. Same brakes on the C4 corvette and a slightly modified version is found on the C5 corvette. They are good, but G35 Brembos are superior.

The only real potential issue with the car is the T-3650, which tends to have a clunky 1-2 shift in cold weather. Supposedly it was fixed for 2003-2004's, but a few have it.

 

ya there are alot of little things that need to be done. it came with a wet shot nitrous system that needs to be installed and tuned and a few other things.

probally going to keep badging/stripes off to keep it different from other mach 1s.

 

ya ive done a little bit research but don't know hardley any facts about the car other than whats on wiki's and such.

 

I highly recommend www.stangnet.com

 

thanks.. there are tons of resources for them, its easy to get lost. on modularfords.com now.

 

i had a 03 Cobra before my G. Very fun car to drive, just not a comfortable interior. I definitely like driving the G more than my Cobra, but I do miss the Cobra sound and power.
