I prefer them too, but when we have a place where we can all park and run, it gets the extra weight out of the cars. If I get to head down there this summer anytime I'll definitely hit you up.

BTW guys, that video was of the Formula and the Mach 1, just to show you how my race would have been with it since they missed that one with the camera. At least We learned that a stock Mach 1 isn't anything to worry about on a LS4 with headers. That was ALL that Mach had, the driver has a 9 second stock motor 6-speed cobra so you know he knows what he's doing.

Mach was no where near stock. I've eaten stock ones lol

Mach 1 had LTs, catless x-pipe, catback, intake, and 4.10s
The Formula is a full bolt on LS1.

from this it seemed like you said the mach was stock

and if that mach had that much work he should have been able to eat you alive lol, thats easily a high 12second stang from your description...what are your mods again?

for example....yes he had a built rear but that is only going to help him not break anything coming out the hole on slicks, also his trap speed was pretty good considering his traction

The Formula he raced in that video is a high 12 second car and they were dead even. I raced him and the formula with the same outcome on each. Car and a half.

My mods aren't anything to worry about

Stock 4v cars aren't troublesome anymore.

The Formula ran a high 12, trapping MUCH higher than that blue mach in the video. Don't know, they were dead even on the street....maybe driver mods or the fact that it was on the street?

driver mod makes the most hp..so im assuming you have intake headers exhaust and some spray lol oh and a tune...not much else you can do, i know you still have the stock ls4 intake, and i know you are on the stock cam...so it is doubtful your ss is a 12 sec car unless you have a bottle, and as said in another thread 90% of mustang drivers cant drive or are just total idiots, good races anyway

Sorry buddy, no bottle. And the Mach 1 driver has a 9 sec 6 speed cobra. He can drive lol. It was STRONG for a bolt on 4v car on street tires. Besides, who said I was a high 12 second car? My best times are in the Track Time Compilation thread.
