what do you guys think....
i may have the oppertunity to buy a White or a Black Mach 1..both are completely stock and for dirt cheap with little miles on them.
So, that got me thinking...since its a better platform to work on (the 4v), i thought that it would give me a chance to start over with a fresh stang.
Here is my rundown for immediate modification:
Swap for an 03/04 cobra IRS
Exhaust (my current O/R H or my o/r x thats chilling in the basement coupled with Stingers)
Intake Spacer
JLT RAI
Xcal3 and custom tune
and for the short term (since i already have these parts):
FR500's
shifter
cut springs temporary
i think that it is a good plan. i dont think that i would be set back too much $$ and i would still be ahead because its not the 2v

Do it dude! Mach's are going down in price. I wanna trade mine for a 4v so bad, but I just can't get rid of my car (first stang so I'm attached and wanna keep it). Hope to get a 4v and keep my current 6er when I can afford it lol.
#9
i can understand about the attachment..cause this stang is my first stang as well lol..but i have had it 3 years. lol..thus why im leaning towards the what one lol
#14
get the mach 1 if you can. A much better platform indeed. You will love how the 4v just keeps going through the rpms. I say get the black one. They look sooo good in black w/ flat black accents/graphics.
#17
If I remember right the mach sits a least a 1/2 inch lower than the GT......maybe lower I can't remember.
#19
its higher than i am right now. lol. im lowered a lil more than 1.5 in the front and 1.5 in the rear.
and as for the IRS, the reason i want it is cause it will be a street car with minimal autox action. besides, i will be replacing the bushings with delrin and aluminum bushings (could care less about how quite it is..makes me feel more intouch with the road).

my vote is for the black mach, if you have the oppurtunity then take it, you wont regret it. I was lucky when I stumbled accross mine for a steal (at the time)
with the mods in my sig I made 314/347 on a hot summer day...
And pcola, I got yer AB right here

i have seen IRS's take a huge beating. i know for a fact that they are extremely well built, but because they used shitty bushings, they caused half shafts to break. i could make bushings here at school since i have a lathe and delrin at my disposal, but i know of a person that makes them and theyre proven to rid the car of any wheel hop.
yea, im not looking for any more hp than you gotMACH04, it should be fast enough with the weight savings it get.

from waht i have been reading, on my car swapping over to the mach suspension will lower my car ~1 inch, and on the 99+ it lowers it ~.75 of an inch... but thats if i am remembering correctly
