"First You started comparing the 5.0 to the VR-4, now
your on the Mach 1. Make up your mind"
because you said a VR-4 cant run 13's so i comparied it to a Mustang with more similar specs then a 5.0

"Your stats look pretty accurate, you just forgot one of the most important differences between these two.

Mach 1
baseprice $28,000

VR-4
baseprice $44,000"

and in the price difference you also get AWD, power hard-top convertable, 6speed tranny, and 4-wheel stearing, tell me what mustang has all four of those options?

also that years the VR-4 ran the Cobra wasnt making as much power so the comparison wasnt really there till 1999

"Now what idiot would go out and spend an extra $14,000 dollars for a heavier VR-4 when you can have a faster lighter Mach 1 for less money"

the VR-4 was also ment to beable to have great road maners also not just 1/4 performance
mach1: .85g
vr-4: .90g


"take a stock 5.0 put heads on it and all of the other typical bolt ons and walk all over that VR-4 for a HELL of a lot less money if you wanna nit pick"

well now you comparing a car in NON stock form to a stock car, thats just stupid, with a boost controller and exaust you can have a VR-4 running high 12's, and would hand the stang its ass in the corners.

and if you wanna go the moded vs unmoded rout, i can get a used Escort ZX2, get it turbo'd and build and running steady low 12's for 13k total and both out handle and out run a 03 cobra for almost 1/3 the price, which makes buying the cobra look "stupid"


"overweight rice rocket. I'll take my stang any day."

a over prived rice rocket is a Civic Si, SVT Focus or a Sentra SE-R specV, Not to many people who know what they are talking about call the Supra, Nissan Skyline R32 GT-R, and 300zx,(all the other imports the VR-4 is comparable to)as 'rice'
