Default bolt on Mach 1 vs bolt on 3v GT

Mach 1 has gears, shifter, midpipe/catback, and makes 292rwhp

3v has exhaust, intake, tune, and makes 31xrwhp (what the owner told me. He wanted to run me bad and wants a lower roll rematch)

Race was from a 40 roll (not my choice) as you can hear I pretty much instantly had to shift. Sorry for shitty video and audio, iPhone racing.

I shifted at 7 seconds and 10 seconds. I'm in 3rd gear for a whole 3 seconds.

2nd at a 40 roll feels like I'm in gear for 5 minutes. I need 4.10s.

With your power 3.90 or 3.73 would be be better suited.

I think the 4.10s seem like a good all around gear. Could still go to the track or roll race.

My car isnt setup for roll racing. Hard to find people that will dig race though.

Excellent kill, Stop! I had an 09 3V making 318 RWHP and my 03 Mach at the same time, and your run pretty much looks exactly like the results I had when running them against each other. Ran almost identical track times however, so idk..

The Mach's make no power up top so by me roll racing with 4.56 gears really makes no sense. As Hiho has pointed out, my car is a turd on the back half.

I felt like my Mach pulled alright up top. It wasn't a rocket ship or anything, but trapped 108-110 pretty regularly with 4.10s, ORX, cat-back, and drop in filter.


Quick Reply: bolt on Mach 1 vs bolt on 3v GT
