Any idea what the mods are on the Mach 1?

Mach1's are fairly comperable in speed to LS1 fbody's, the win usually seems to go to the Fbody, but depends on the stangs mods/driving

I ran a friends intake/exhaust mach 1 when I had the same mods in my auto lt1... won everytime. Granted it wasn't by much, but still.

i think if it's a stick it'll put up a decent fight, no worries with the auto.

Wiki says the stick will go 13.2, so i'd say its prolly a bit faster than a magazine article proclaims.

Didn't realize till researching it just now that a mach1 was actually any different than a base gt?

I do remember reading in hotrod about the "new" mach1 years ago, come to think of it...

SO MANY different mustangs, lol...

If you can leave beside him on a dig runs you should'nt have a problem. Roll on's should be easily in your favor.....If you can drive.

Well when they put out rebadged **** like the Bullit and California Special and the base Rousch/Saleen/Shelby and all the other bullshit named cars making the same power as a GT it's no wonder some people don't bother to keep up.

I think you will eat up the mach1 if you know how to drive. But then again who knows if this mach1 is stock.. So just need a bit more info on the other car but anyways good luck

I know the new edge Bullitt's actually had a better intake than the base GT's, good for a couple horsepower. Not sure about the newer ones, though.

Redfire 03

Yes the '01/02 Bullitt had an improved intake manifold over the base GT. Along with high-flow mufflers in the stock piping and U/D pulley.

Irunelevens

And the '08/'09 Bullitt was the precursor to the "Track Pack" that the '10 GTs got, with the 3.73 gears, and firmer suspension. Pretty sure it had a different intake/exhaust/tune as well. It's not like I don't understand why some people don't know all of the little versions of Mustangs that have been made, I've just never met any car guy that didn't know what a Mach 1 was.

mach1 has a 4v 281 about the same as the cobra, just no eaton
little bit faster than a 99 or 01 cobra
5sp had a forged crank, autos dont.
autos have really shitty shift points and lose a bunch of power through the drivetrain. youll probably destroy an auto if you can drive. Stick vs stick is usually a drivers race when theyre both close to stock

I wonder how hard it be to add a eaton blower on a mach1 and it being on a stock block???
