I don't know which Eibachs but people who usually just have the lowering **** tend to run worst 60's. I was doing like 1.68x with a bone stock suspension. No where near as good as you obviously.

I would rather have a stiff spring that takes the energy from the launch to plant my tires into the ground rather than a soft spring that takes the energy from the launch and makes the rear of the car squat instead of loading the tires.

They are pretty easy to drive so the driver mod isn't really a factor .

Yeah mine wasn't my first, second, third, fourth, or fifth choice... but since I bought it with all the mods it wasn't too bad. LTs and 4.10s were gonna be the next step.

OK. OK. OK. My buddy just installed a set of custom cams. He has all of the "Bolt-On's" to go with it. He dynoed @ 318 rwhp. 332ft.lbs. For starting with 231 rwhp, thats not bad. He runs 12.40's all day @ 111---Bracket car---
He has seen 11.80's in the 115 range with a 125shot.
Point is...Ls1's are bad ***...look in my sig. A stock or near stock ls1 is going to get his ego popped if he takes his 2v lightly----from a dig.
From a roll with the 4.10's, the car hits the rev limiter @ 115-120 in 4th. After that anything can walk it.
MOST mustang owners put a cat back and think that the louder it is, the faster it is. They are just ignorant. So for that....I apologize for my brothers.

Thats because Ford automatics suck. They have terrible gear ratios and shift like crap. I'd say well over 75% of the Mustang GT's I see are manual, nobody buys an auto Mustang to go fast, people know they suck. On the other hand, automatic F-bodys are much more common, and are close to as fast as their manual counterparts.

A bolt on mustang is fully capable of hanging with a LS1 til about 2nd.
Btw the 02 GT i raced had drag springs, and i wouldnt be suprised if he could of hit a 1.6-7 60ft on the street. He launched harder than most awd vehicles i saw.
I talked to friend after and he says he launches around 4500 rpms. That will get you off the line. Its hard to hang with stock 245's.

Yeah, if he jsut got it...there is some learning to do there. Mach's generally take some time to get used to. The shift points are different that GTs, and take a tad more finese to launch..well, only if you don't know how to feather the clutch. LOL BTW - what color is it, and what does it look like (anythign noticable). I've seen a few machs in town and wondering if I've seen him.

It took me about 2 months to really get the launch loss of traction down on my Z28 M6 . He's a good driver too so hejust needed the seat time. Its 2004 mach 1 hugger orange I think he lives in clovis now. He said he was gonna super-charge it.
