Flying For My Mach

[Monkeygrits]

Got referred from the New Cougar.org forums by jaa55. I just sold my 2000 Cougar yesterday and put a deposit down on a 03 Mach 1 with 8700 miles on it. The car is in Indiana state so Im hopping on a plane on Saturday to got get her. Car is perfect except for the plate bolts in the front bumper and a couple small chips in the paint on the rear bumper. I live in Somerset county. Heres a couple pics:D

Looks nice! where in Somerset county do you live? about 2 years ago there was a blue Mach just like that one for sale in Friedens.

i love mach 1s

[Monkeygrits]

I live in Meyersdale. I don't remember seeing that. That pic of my cougar was taken in Friedens actually at the Fathers day car show at the airport. My dad also has a Mustang but he's computer illiterate LOL. He has a Redfire 07 GT/CS

[travj31]

welcome... nice car. im originally from close by in berlin.

[redb5.0]

welcome, thats a nice car.

[sutyak]

I agree with the 4.56's. I loved them in my Mach 1.

[Wolfpack Speed]

Welcome!!!

I think the highest I would go would be 4.10s. I'm not gonna be drag racing the car and me and the wife wanna take it and go on the weekends. Seems like it would be the best of both worlds. I want a set of springs and I rear blackout panel first. I would love to have a set of 10.5 rear mach wheels from afs as well.

Not even close. Just keep the stock gears in instead of wasting your money. Thats just my opinion though.

[Cam99]

I loved the 4.10s in mine especially when I put nitrous on it. For NA i'd probably go 4.30

[Monkeygrits]

Well I'm back and the car is like new. Ill post some better pics when I get time. Here's a couple from the ride home. It was a long day to say the least.

[Stroked03Cobra]

Beautiful Color! Congrats!

[v6mustang01]

410s...JLT CAI and an MGW short throw shifter...best mods i put on my 04 Mach 1...you wont be disappointed!

[Stroked03Cobra]

+1 on the 4.10s, Had 3.73's put into my previous 02 GT and wished I had done 4.10s

[sutyak]

I had 4.10 and 4.56 in my Mach 1. I'd probably do 4.30 for something I didn't run at the track.

[Troll]

Beautiful Mach. Congrats. I'd do 4.30s minimum. :goodidea:

I had 2 2Vs... one with 4.10s and one with 3.73s. If I had to do it over again, I'd go 4.30s in the 2V and I was not a drag racer, either. The 4V needs even more revs to get going. You should still be under 3,000rpm at 80mph in top gear.

Either way, good luck with the modding. :goodidea:

[jaa55]

I think Id do 4.10s I had 4.30s in my 01 cobra..........they were a little steep for cruising around.

[Slow01GT]

I had 4.10's in my 01 gt. if i I did it over I would prob do 4.30's and that was in an auto car. The Machs can rev higher than the 2v so 4.30's shouldn't be a problem

[PaceFever79]

Nice Mach!

It's a collector. I'd leave it stock.

Add some wheels and tires but keep it original.

[Monkeygrits]

It needs some little stuff first. I'm gonna order a set of shift ebrake boots from redline. Gonna get charcoal leather with blue stitching. The ebrake handle is ripping. Cheap vinyl
