TA vs Mach 1 Me: 99 Trans Am A4, 2.73, LM2, K&N, sweat pants, no socks
Him: 04 Competition Orange Mach 1, M5, said he was stock, dressed up, pierced eyebrow, hot gf in the passenger seat I wouldn't mind gettin a poke at
I took a different way back to school and was driving through straight BFE backroads when this car flies up on my rear. I recognize the headlights as Mustang and punch it. He is right behind me all the way to ~130. So we pull over and BS, ask what's done and what not and he asked if I wanted to run?
So seeing as I was cruisin on this road for the past hour with no cars and a dead cell phone at 11pm I welcomed the invitation. He asked if 30-35 would be fine and thats what's perfect for my car. So we went back and forth him honking and me honking and each time we were either dead even or he or I would pull maybe 1/2 a car up to around 110-5. After like the 6th run he just hung a quick left and threw down a u-turn and drove off. Didn't want to stick around and chat I guess. I actually thought I was going to get beat pretty good, but held my own. Seeing as how his car's front end was going up and down I could tell he was a decent shifter. Car felt like it was runnin pretty good in the 35 degree weather.
It's nothin to brag over but it was my first head to head run with the car so I was feelin happy. On a side note, my car was full to the top with the 4 wheels I was transporting, some luggage, and almost a full tank of gas.

I have a buddy with a Mach,and they're not like the GT's.They come with a 3.55 gear and a much better motor and from a dig his car is right at the front of my door until we get up to 85 and then my car will start to pull on his.That gear helps them out a good bit.I like them just as much as the 03-04 Cobra's.I love the shaker scoop on 'em.

...BTW 2v's(GT's) arent quite as quick as the 4v's

Nice run. I want to run a stock Mach in my car really bad. From the SOTP feel, my A4 SS feels just as fast as my friends 04 Mach 1 5speed did. I need to find one soon before the mods start to go on.

Im gonna go with a no on the good shifting. If he was a good shifter you wouldnt see too much of his front end coming down but rather staying "sprung" up.
Good kill !

It was my first head to head race on the street so I honestly had no idea how it would end up. I know the Mach1's are pretty comparable in hp to my car so i figured it could go either way. What do they have, 305hp? He didn't want to run from a dig though. Maybe wasn't confident in his launching?Just put on a lid this week and have lt/ory waiting to go on. Maybe I'll bump into him again sometime
