Default I've been seduced....

ok.. i admit it.. i'm a closet ford fan.. there.. i'm out now...

now.. if i can sell the damn WRX this week.. i can get a 2002 Roush Stage 2 with 8psi Aftercooled Vortech

OR

I keep the WRX a while longer and order a nice Red or Blue or Black Mach 1 (then IRS and Supercharge it !! w00t!)..

Pro's and cons of both ?.. the roush is cheaper in the short term.. but i think the Mach 1 is just ded seksae and will maintain a reasonably high resale..

OR

I could find a used 2001 Cobra and do some stuff to that....

What do you think ?

Why would you wanna add an IRS to a Mach 1. Just do a torque arm/panhard rod setup.

If you are just going to add a IRS to the Mach 1 I would say go with a '01 Cobra and do some stuff from there. One of the best things about the Mach 1 is that it is coming with the live axle which is why it is pulling better times then most Cobra's minus the '03
As for the Roush, they look nice and and all, but everyone I have seen run at the track is a pig.

I wouldn't mess with a mach 1 if you intend on supercharging it. 11:1 compression is not gonna be boost friendly.
