It's really a crap shoot. The T56 in the Terminator's though can hold a lot. The input shaft is the weak link in that unit.
The Mach 1 in question is an automatic.

I am Confused......
The vidoe (pretty bad btw) keeps saying "Cobra". Was it a MACH 1 or a Cobra? Besides that, it was so dark...do you really know what you just raced?

Yeah we met up before hand they wanted to check to make sure I was not on the bottle, i obliged. We discussed the amount we would like to race for.

Also they call it the Cobra1, the original guy talking **** and had no car had a cobra with all the goodies the Mach1 had, all the suspension, wheels/tires, and a few other things came off the old cobra, so they nicknamed the Mach1 a Cobra1.

Thanks. Its a full bolt-on n/a stock motor'd car. Full drag suspension with weight reduction. Big gears and slicks leaving the hole at 6800. Trying to beat my best before building the motor.

I know I know, multi quote is my friend I got lazy haha.

Your car looks sick and sounds like she is a beast, I would not mind finding more SN95's around my area like yours.

My car runs exactly what yours does in the 1/8. I made it in the 10s on a 125 hit. Mid 10s on a 150.
