Default Mach 1 vs 5.0

I'm on my way into the office this morning and a red 5.0 comes along side me. At 55 he counts it down and we are off. By 100 we are coming up on traffic and he is ahead by a bumper. We both gave thumbs up and he followed me into town. I had some extra weight in the car for an event I'm going to later. It would have been nice to have had a longer run. He pulled into the parking lot and exchanged info on the cars.

Mods on 5.0 - OR X, CAI, aluminum driveshaft, M6

Mach - FR500 cams, full exhaust, ported intake, 4.10, +100 lbs

No times yet since the cams and LTs. Last time I went out I lost a timing chain without a second car to drive. So until I have a second car where I can afford the downtime this one won't be seeing the track.

Nice run MACH Boy. Too bad you could not have set up another run from a dig or a longer roll.
