Default Ran a Mach 1

Thought you guys would like this. Closed course of course. Lost by a length. Spun a lot on the launch. Like I said before, closed course. Mach 1 was a 5-speed with Flowmaster mufflers.

We should, then we could have a few runs at each other.

He's one of the better drivers I know. He did have a bad launch. Then again, so did I.

Better drivers you know? They should be low 13s/high 12s with minimal mods where we require some finesse to get there...but I'll chill on the magazine racing and chalk up a win for the MC.

The heck they aren't quicker than a GT. The mach 1 has a 4.6 Liter DOHC mod motor with camshafts slightly different from the 2001 Cobra.

They also have a shaker hood, which is the same as the SS's, for Ram-Air.

The Mach 1's have about the same horsepower as the LS4's but they have a lot more torque. He should have pulled a little better imo.

Nice win regardless though.

It's a stock car (just muffler swap to Flowmasters). We both had bad launches, I spun pretty bad and he didn't launch hard enough. Anyway, they're pretty equal. The machs are 32v engines where GTs are only 16v.

I know you weren't being a deuche, Mel. I didn't think I'd keep up either.
