Mach I
He has 4.56's, they are pretty much a 1/8 mile gear. He will get you off the line, but that's it. As soon as you get up in RPM's, you will shoot by him easily. I took a GT with some stuff in it, and 4.56's. He had all kinds of stuff done to it. He got me off the line on the stand still, as soon as I hit 40mph, I was already past him. I had him on the dig, and kept pulling away.

Mach 1s are not slow at all, your confusing them with GTs. Mach 1s def move out and go good with simple mods.
Fords like alot of gear like some has stated so dont get cocky and think hes over gearing his car.

I have both cars here and I was unaware that the mach you are running has gone 11's Why arn't you hooking? Did you run on street tires? You should rape him if you can hook, if not your gonna lose to this Mach...
