Default well...

its been months since i got on here...but wrecked GT and looking at 2 cars right now...both im interested in...just need an idea on wut you guys think...


05 SRT Orange 17900 (pretty solid...might not lower)

03 Mustang Mach1 DSG 19200 (they MIGHT lower to 18900, because of condition?)

test drove mach1, loved it, but my friend also test drove it before and said it seems to of been beaten up...wasnt taken care of...and after reving the engine, for a few minutes you still hear like noching/rattling sounds...the chin spoiler is beaten to hell....lol

didnt get a chance to test drive srt4, since they just got it and was getting detailed

go for either? or keep lookn?

i drove it, drove well...but my friend knows alot more about cars than me and all he said was "LOL, i drove it and its beaten to hell, dont buy" then i was sad....

no wonder they want to get rid of it..

badfish : dont get me wrong, its BEAUTIFUL, under engine looks like new...everything inside is awesome...but rattling exhaust...chin spoliler looks like it hit a small dog....but i drove it and was just like :O and cheap...they said 22K, after i drove, they knocked it down "managers special'

Yea, I'd say keep looking for a better Mach 1. Those are my favorite 'Stangs outside of the Cobra SVT.

how many miles are on the mach? Find someone that works at ford to run an OASIS report for you and it will give you a print out of everything any ford dealership in the US has done to the car.....then get a carfax.

The chin spoiler is an easy fix and you'll probably change the exhaust immediately anyway. You could always try to find a used 2005 GT??

Now your talking....we'll work on converting you to Magnapacks, but get the mach!!!! ha ha ha....to be honest, I passed on 3 machs before I bought mine. One of them have that beat up feeling, but felt strong when driving it....the 2nd one was just at the wrong time for me, and the 3rd was a white one with 9,000 miles on it, but it was through a private party....wanted to trade my other car in....so just be patient and wait for something your feel comfortable with.

Oh it's an auto.. ...I think auto's run around 13.6-13.7 stock and manuals can run a 1/4 13.1-13.2 with a good driver. Doesn't mean you couldn't make the auto fast, but manuals are the way to go.

Check out www.mach1registry.com and do a search on auto's.

NOO! Get the Mach 1. They are too hot if you know what you're doing. Go with jj and get the Magnapacks and you'll be roarin'. I'd still suggest finding another Mach though because if it feels beat up then there could be deeper problems then it seems. Search Mach 1's on eBay and put in your zip code and there might be a couple on there. Also, you can also look on autotrader for the same thing.

Get the mach!! If you do, go ahead and get SLP. You'll love it. Everyone that hears it in person always tell me how much they love the sound.

A bunch of overpriced wieners....I could buy that same GT stock for under 10k and buy the same mods for under $4000. I only know one person who bought one of their cars one month later blew the motor because it was improperly tuned. Ran real lean.
