I'd love to run into a good driver in one, but I guess that none of the numerous ones I have run into had good drivers. And no, if I lose a race, I shake the other driver's hand and hit up the classified section to make my car faster. Somebody is always faster than you are.
How could you even make that assessment from reading 3 posts where I didnt believe that a stock mach1 on stock street tires would do a 13.1 with an average driver? Now I'm a sore loser? Thats quite a leap, don't you think?

So one or 2 of you can drive. It's just like ANY other car. Maybe a few can pull that time, but 99% of the owners cant. I have spent nearly every wednesday night at the dragstrip and nearly every friday and saturday on the street wince I was 16. Guess how many stock 03-04 Mach 1's that I have SEEN go 13.anything BONE stock? None. Not saying it's not possible, I am just saying that most can't and I havent ever seen it.
Dont get all pissy, nobody said anything about your cars.
Wow.....I didn't realize your track was the ONLY TRACK in the US. And the BEST ONE on the PLANET.


You sir are showing your ignorance........I sense a 'schooling' about to happen.

The problem is you are not a Ford guy, and your knowledge of stock Mach 1's is limited. I'll gladly post my slips since I got the car. You need to drive a 150 miles south to PBIR and I'll show you a few and I doubt the DA is any different down here. I bought my Mach used in Texas with 62000 miles. A week later I ran it bone stock in 90 degree weather and had a best of 13.7. Bought it back on a 60 degree night and got a 13.4 something. Oh I did forget it had a drop in K&N. I have seen several M5 Machs run 13's bone stock.



This is the Mach 1 Registry Quarter mile list. The cars with the * are bone stock.

I still got it! I keep it around for Bozo's like this one. Car was as MF'ing stock as it could possibly be that day, and me, like an idiot, filled the gas tank on the way to the track, which is only about 20 miles away. Add to that my six foot two inch frame and 245lbs in the drivers seat.

You also may want to check out this video. This 17 year old kid with a 2004 Mach 1 went to Atco Dragway and ripped off a bunch of low 13 second runs and a 12.9 run! His Mach 1 wasn't totally stock, but I don't think it had much more than a catback exhaust and a K&N CAI.

I'll grant you it was a cold day in February, but the kid laid the smack down on some cars (and a truck) that should have beat him.

Like I said, I had no doubt that 13.1's can be run, and props to you for being one hell of a good driver! I just said it wasnt the norm. Mid to high 13's I see ALL day long, but 13.5 to 13.1 is a jump I hadnt seen. You have to be up there for a totally stock car, ET wise and thats something to be proud of! But why Bozo? Really necessary to prove your point?

The point is that in most places, low-mid 13s IS the norm. I'm sorry if it's not in Orlando.

And MY point is you ARE WRONG, and telling people that know these cars inside and out that they are wrong is just plain stupid. You are telling us that it isn't the norm and you only response was you go to the track every wed. and Satu.

As for believing all things on the i-net....DUDE< these cars are f'ing 5 years OLD.....You are simply ignorant on the topic.

See Iruns post below, and re-read what I stated above. YOU ARE WRONG!!!!!!!! mid to high 13s in an M5 IS totally normal.....BONE FACTORY STOCK.

open mind, My ***. People get upset when ignorance is tossed around, because people act like they know all, especially more than those that have owned, worked on, and/or been around the car twice as much.
