The Cobras from that time have a ton of potential with little money spent and they will always a performance bargain.

If I remember correctly there little if any difference power wise in the Z or SS. That was a nice marketing gimick and they were all under rated if memory serves me. I seem to remember the C5 owners not liking it too much when the Z would lay down the same numbers but could not show it on paper. The Mach 1 was also under rated by Ford. They I think were scared from the 99 Cobra fiasco.
Love the Mach 1s...
