Last car I ran at the track was my '98 GT, at the 1/8 mile. Which ran 9.3-9.4 @ 74-75mph. That's a ~14.5-14.7 '98 GT with only exhaust. The one before that was a '94 Integra GS-R with just axle-back exhaust, which ran a best of 14.97 @ 93.82mph. Which you'll find is one of the best times you can find for that car. So it's not like I haven't been to the track. But I have a grasp on what cars can/should run. And a bolt-on/geared GT is not a mid-high 13s car. Period.

This was initially a name I made when I had my motorcycle. Made it about a month before my wreck. It was never intended as a serious name, but I kept it.

Hilo the Mach I speak of is full weight. I did race it and barely beat it. A bolt on Mach is a 12 second car with good driving in good air. I have seen 40-50 of them do it in the last 5 years. Its old news. A forced induction Mach with traction is a 11 second car in good air-with full interior.
Low 12s in a Mach is easy-410-430s,axles and girdle,MT drag radials,MP adjustable upper and lowers,CAI,aluminum ds or better,full exhaust with long tubes and a tune in a 5 speed. The trans will break with powershifting but if you want the ET you do it. Over inflate your fronts by 10 psi and stage deep. Tachs are different-work on the shiftpoints by paying attention to MPH.
Same car-run 410s and add 8 pounds of boost-11s with a tune and a fuel pump/injectors. Done it many times in 96-98 Cobras which are slower than a Mach. Usually the trans breaks though

Mason Dixon is an elevated track-run your car at Cecil or MIR and watch your MPH and ET improve. Mason Dixon can be tricky since you can't really get around the water box-if you run a deep treaded tire in the front uh oh.......
75-80 believe or not improved in regards to traction last year as well....

So it should be Irunfourteens, since you've never driven a car into the 13s even? Did you never get to make a pass on the bike?

Nice! Most of us don't look down on anyone though. Hell I am sure I have the slowest vehicle in this section right now.
