The light dropes and we go. in first gear my tires break loose and i get ahead by half a car. I hit second and burn for a little distance, then start pulling ahead. now my rear wheel is at his front wheel. 3rd gear, a quick chirp and we remain even. 4th gear and he is now 1 car behind and we let off. he turns off and revs it and i through the good old

Good kill, judging by your stock times though, you have a wee bit of a freak.

RAREws6- you have the same exact car as mine with almost identical mods and track times. We also have almost identical mileage.

Where do you live? Would I be able to stop by sometime and hear your exhaust? PM if needed.

I have taken down Mustangs GT's, but never ran into a Mach1.

Good kill.

It's definitely possible that he won, just accept the story like you would if the Mach won, it's not like you know for sure what happened when someone posts a kill.

How 'bout you just accept the fact that at the very least he's exaggerating quite a bit (6 1/2 cars with a 1-car head-start???? ), or worst-case he completely made it all up...

Where are you getting the 6 1/2 cars with a 1-car head start from?

Actually it's a Mach can never lose to an LS1.
But seriously it doesn't matter me LT1, LS1, Mach etc... a fast car is a fast car.
