Awareness of the bench racing section = less work for Jason, and correct posts.


basically. IMO, giving actual feedback in this threads being in the wrong section is no worse than starting the threads. But, that's just me.

Fixed it for you.

Believe what you want. Give me a stock M5 Mach 1 and I'd be more than happy to line it up against a stock LS1 at the drag strip or street.

I was dead even with a 04 Mach1 which had mufflers and 4.10's. I had a 3200 stall, cai, and a cutout. Dead even everytime.

don't be so dilusional...just for one example...dude over on svtperformance trapped 107 in his mach with only midpipe/catback (same as what stopsign mentioned)...you don't think 107 is enough to take out your average ls1 from a roll? whatever you think

That's me racing a new guy on our local forum last week. He has catback exhaust and a cold air intake. In the far lane is a terminator making 445rwhp....pause the vid at 16 seconds....

The Mach 1 I'm talking about ran 105.8mph with nothing but a catback. That was with me driving, never driven a Mach 1 on the track, and I was only able to get that one run in. Had I gotten a few more runs to get to know the car better I would have done quite a bit better I'm sure. I'm not the best driver in the world but I have figured out which pedal does what.

Oh and that run I did a 13.2. Nothing amazing and people have done better but that is right there with your average LS1 time... Just saying.

If its a manual one ask her if I can use it and we will go to the track.

a 13.2 is very quick for a mach. it happens, but rarely. alot run more in the 13.5-13.6 range around 104-ish. why do you think when you look at videos of races between the two 9 times out of ten the ls1 wins--- because it's faster! sure the mach CAN win but chances are it wont. but it's close enough that if the ls1 driver ***** up he wont run it down by the end of the quarter.

it's a manual... my buddy also has a full bolt on 96 cobra with 4:10's you could use too.. his cousin has a stock m5 mach.. take your pick. best out of 3 loser buys beer.

I think its because more Ford owners have no idea how to drive and possibly the Mach 1 is harder to drive to its full potential? I know my 99 Cobra when it was stock was a bitch to get good times out of.

I don't drink beer. Liquor only for me. I didn't think your car was stock though so how would this be fair? (edit I see you said close to stock)

Where do you live?
