buddy of mine had an F1A on his 04 mystichrome, his brother had one on his azure blue mach

That's cool. I've heard of one on a cobra.

I know there's a few machs with them though.

ran 10.90s, needed suspension work

he went to a built motor and 3.4 and hopefully got all the traction issues sorted out

I'm contemplating either the 3.4L Whipple or the 2.8L Kenne Bell "Mammoth" kit.
i have seen a few f1's work very well on 03 cobras. gears and timing can make up for some of the lack in low end grunt but once they get into boost they are insane. just gotta shift like a **** to keep the rpms and boost up.

Compared to a Veyron, yes. Compared to a LS1 they are fast.

You obviously don't hang around here much or you would of known I was messing around. I like any fast car and I am fully aware that there are some really fast Mach's. If you are in Washington we can line them up if you'd like. I'm always down for a good run.
