The mach 1 are old school Ford tanks...Weigh a ton, and needless to say the 351 cleveland is an iron block carburated motor...Not that impressive compared to todays cars.....

However, mod it up and any car can be made to go fast...

Mach 1 is a driver race if its a stick. I remember i race an exhaust one and got it by 2 cars. He later put in 4.10 and tires and got me by about 1 1/2. They do very well with bolt ons and trap about 106mph. A good running ls1 should beat it easily but since I see alot of high mileage ls1 that have problems I give the edge to the Mach.

Gears, full exhaust, sticky tires and driver mod and they will run bottom 12's. Well at least mine did with the stock motor. Someone that doesn't know how to race there car, well who knows what it would run. LOL

Nice kill. A bit vague, but nice kill nonetheless.

^ I really don't think he did.
Mach 1's are nice cars. I think they give the LS1 a hard time from a dig more than from a roll. LS cars tend to trap higher. Good kill man.
