Z28 w/ SLP vs. lightly modded Mach 1
Well, I can't believe I did this, cause I hate street racing, so I was a tad hypocritical today. But, with all the smack talk between the 4v stangs, and the LS1s, I figured, what the hell, I will add a story to the list.
Well, I take the same route to work every day, and 2-3 times a week I see a Z with the SLP package. it's a really nice car. Aftermarket rims, with an SS hood. earlier in the week, I noticed his plate cover said someing about smoked mustang, and i found it humorous since i was behind him for a few miles, so I am sure he noticed me. Well we swapped a few 'sups' and lane changes (no one let's you in here in the CEntral valley, so we swapped some respect). We had a couple of throttle punches, but nothing big cause of traffic......well today was different. We saw each other again, and said what's up. We went at it three times. We would slow to about 40-50 and go for it. No honks, just went for it. It was pretty cool cause it was like we were on the same mind set, we hit it at the same time, every time. Two out of three we were nose to nose. One time he had a fender on me, cause I short shifted to forth at 5K. and We had to shut down right afterward. Well, the third time was the best. cause we were neck and neck, launched at the same time, and took it to about 100. I would get the jump every time, but he would pull back up, and we would stay there. We slowed down, and I asked if he was stock, and he said yeah. I just asked if only the SLP, and he nodded. I asked for a fourth run, but he yelled out there was a cop ahead, then I noticed his radar detector....Lucky us. He was really cool, and we gave each other a nod and went on our way. I assume he had an A4, cause of the way the car drove and since I would get a slight jump, but I obviously wasn't paying too much attention.
Anyway, given I am sure he has a few more ponies than me, I am glad with the outcome.

Radar detectors are nice, I have an Escort and it has saved me more than a few times.
Good read though. I like to see Mustang and F-body owners respect each other and not be dicks. I am a car enthusiast and even though I am partial to my Trans Am, Mustangs are cool cars and the Cobra's give me something to shoot for

HA HA...I was wondering if anyone was going to say that........um....HELL NO!!. She would kill me. The other day I told her about being next to a charger SRT8 and we said what's up, and I decided to give a nice smoke start (at a different intersection), and she told me I was going to have to walk to work if I did it again.............................my commute is 30 min each way....LOL
Today, she told me about her lining up with someone......and gave them a nice "I am not your avg chick driver" take off.........dang double standards.

I raced a Yellow M5 last week that was stock from a 45-50 roll. I took him by 2-3 cars by 120 and was very surprised because I know what those cars are capable of. He was cool as **** about it and we went our own ways with a lot of respect for each other.
Pull your head out of your ***....Mach 1's are equal in performance.

Actually, If the LS1 woulda been a 6 speed, he woulda edged you out by about a car length. Machs and LS1's are close stock for stock untill you start to reach higher speeds, that's when the LS1 top end will edge out the mach. With equal drivers, the LS1 will win, slightly.
