Next month 11.95!!!!! Mark my words beotches!
If that's the case then my Mach is a 9 second car because it has a built motor.

Im being realistic, you are not...You must have a good idea what it will run with the mods it has (s/c)? So you put a s/c onto a mach 1 and you will say it still runs a 13.5?

99z28, run him from a dig at the track. tree the **** out of him too. a good reaction time by itself will get you a few tenths ahead. ever think of dropping the front sway bar? its 15lbs off the nose and itll aid a lil more in traction.

what was your 60' and mph on your 12.4 run?

LOL supercharge a Mach 1 and you have a high 11 second car with nothing else done.

Yes sway bar is off...the 12.4 run had a 1.97 60' (street tires) with a 112mph trap hitting limiter every gear. Now I have mickeys and tune is fixed...and now its shifting at 6300 instead of 6k. So the 60' should go down alot and the trap will go up quite abit also.

That's basically it. THe SN95s have better intake cams for upper RPM HP, but that's all. Matched with the heads, they aren't as good an over all package as the machs. I could go into detail of specifics, but it'd only bore you guys. The only advantage the SN95 cobra has would be the intake cams if wanting upper rpm and teh teksid block. Other than that, the mach has the advantage in everyway.


Sorry I was late guys. LOL


basically, I think this could go either way. Either the Cobra owner will lose because of tires (if gone from a dig) or 99_Z is going to lose because the car won't be able to properly transfer the weight of his Ego.

IN general though, the nod goes to the Cobra. He needs to get some REAL rubber on that thing though. 245 is the widest cause he's still on stock rims.

Weight yes...but drag will become a factor after that. And if he hits 130.....bad ish can happen. Ask me how I know.

Nitto's are notoriously more narrow than another tire of the same width.

Dick. Lol

No, I was racing a single turbo supra on I10 near Casa Grand one night, I was stock (****, I just wanted to see it run lol). Me and my buddy had the T Tops off after ******* around up on Mill Ave, and left the **** off all night. Anyway, as we are racing, and he is pulling me beyond belief, it starts to sound like a ******* wind tunnel in the car, and the back end started to get floaty at around 135. All the air isn't going over the top of the car like it should, and goes straight under the hatch, and with all the air being forced back there, back end starts to generate lift. Scary **** at those speeds.

Yes i know this genius, thats why in my post i said in the same tire. . . key word same, like going from a Nitto 245 to a nitto 255 isnt gunna make **** for a difference.

I am in the process of trying to get some M/T 255's from a buddy who works at discount believe me i have heard nothing but good thinks about how much better the M/T's are.
