Is the 2003 Mach 1 Faster Than the 2001 Cobra?
I happened to pick up the newest Muscle Mustangs & Fast Fords mag which features the road test of the new 03 Mach 1. I was interesting in reading about it. Well according to their tests they ran a best time of 13.52 @ 103.97 mph with an Automatic & 13.135 @ 105.51 with the 5-speed This was a completely stock 03 Mach 1, and in the same article they compared their road test time of the 01 Cobra from their September 2001 issue in which they ran a best 13.34. I just could not believe that from what I was reading that the new Mach 1 is faster stock than the 01 Cobra Now www.car-stats.com says the 01 Cobra runs a 13.5 @ 105 mph, so in fact the driver for MM&FF actually performed a better than average run with the 01 Cobra. So in general everyday application by Joe Smoe the Mach 1 is even faster than what the mag is reporting, and even the automatic has a good shot at beating the 01 Cobra in the 1/4 mile stock. Obviously it comes down to the driver, but still has technology advanced this much
