Manuals or Autos? Who's the better driver?

Cobra's are only stick. The Mach comes in both.

Im guessing the Mach. It reaches it's peak torque quicker.

I would go with the Mach also, unless driving becomes a factor. What was the RWHP of the Cobra back then? Weight about the same more or less?!?

I'll say the Mach I has you beat. I used to stick it to my best friend in his 97 Cobra. He had 4.10's, x pipe and Diablo chip. All I had was a mildly modded 03 GT with a CAI and Pro Chamber.

I believe the 98 cobra has 305 horsepower and the mach has 320, but you have 4.10's i think you'll kill him, just dont roast the tires off the line. but make sure you tell us the result of the match up.
