And, I hear you on the money thing...but if I went and installed the same amount of cash into my cobra as you have already done to your Mach then I would have a hell of alot more power than I do now. The power I have is just a few simple/basic mods. We haven't even begun to instal the REAL power mods. In the end, IMHO I just think that it is cheaper to mod a cobra to get more power than it is to mod a Mach. Eventually you are going to end up spending more than me to make as much power as I could make if I spent $ for $ with you for mods. Don't get me wrong, I hear you saying that you are making as much power as you are with only spending right under what a cobra cost but think about the power you could be making if you put that kind of cash into a cobra that is already making MORE HP than that with just a few simple mods. Like I said this is just MY opinion on the matter, If I spent the same amount of cash as you did on Mods then you would be left in the dust having to spend even more money to gain the extra HP to catch up again! Like I said before, I think that you have a great looking mach and are putting out some nice numbers *I* would just rather buy a cobra and spend the money to mod it, than buy a Mach and have to spend extra cash to get the same amount of power.
Ok, let me ask you one question. What did you pay for your car? Answer me this, and I will show you the flaw in your logic.

Edit: Here, lets just speculate. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Let's say you paid $24k for your car. I paid $18k for mine. I have since put $2500 in mods in it. That equals $20,500.

$24,000 - $20,500 = $3,500. That means I still have another $3,500 to spend before I even get to what you paid for your car. I think I should be able to exceed 455/486 with $3,500 . Hell, I could do it for a couple hundred bucks if I wanted to but that's not the point.
