03 cobra vs 03 mach 1 Well i got bored this afternoon and decided to video a few runs between me and my buddy's mach 1. The Mach 1 runs really strong for its mods, i was impressed.
Its a nice daytime video, so you will see more than just headlights
enjoy.

Well, I think the Mach held in so well because the Cobra was spinning. I know when I race cars I should pull hard on sometimes its closer than it should be because I end up just spinning 1st and 2nd. Good runs though. I should have some vids soon of my buddies Mach with Stg 3 cams, P&P heads and a Paxton vs my Cobra, should be fun.

I enjoyed the slipping clutch on the Mach 1...
When my car was "stock"...tune, exhaust, lid, ported TB...I ran against my brother's 03 Cobra with exhaust and K&N intake...I held with him through 3rd, then by 4th he was pulling me. Now, it's exact opposite and he's done quite a bit of modding on that car

The MACH 1 needs to run with gears. The Cobra has the SC to make power quickly and get the RPMS up quickly. If the N/A MACH 1 does not have gears, than the RPMS will not get into the powerband quick enough and hence the result. It would have been a better run if the MACH 1 had gears. However, still not enough to beat a pullied SC Cobra. Races between boosted cars and N/A bolt-on cars usually have very similar outcomes.

With my 4.10s, Moser 31-Spline and FRPP POSI Unit, 1st and 2nd gear with a treet tire is usless.
Believe me your not going to teach me anything about a Mach I see them all day long here at MSX. However you missed my point, if the Cobra was spinning which he said it was, that would be the reason the Mach made it so close.
