86 escort gt seats bolt right in and are way lighter. i had it all documented on a previous build i wana say it was 10 or more lbs lighter than a highback 89 gt seat. 90 or 91 they went to the lx lowback on all gts

I have a moderate h/c/and (ls6 intake so it almost doesn't count!) setup that makes 430 rwhp on a happy dyno 414 sae corrected.Used to pass smog before the longtubes!Only time a mach 1 gave me any trouble was when the guy jumped early from a dig and swerved in my lane when I tried to pass so I let off.Afterwards I confronted him and he said sorry but never ran me again that night.Even on the freeway when there was plenty of room he kept ducking and dodging me.That was pretty weak and cowardly!Stopsign 32v I don't think your mach 1 could have fun with ls1's making 350rwhp much less one making 400 rwhp!Sorry,but it is true,unless the ls1 driver has shitty tires no skill and it was from a dig!Sorry,for thread hijacking OP and good kill!Stopsign32v don't get mad at me,lol!I'm not a ford hater, just thought I would join in and talk a little ****!

No one said it was bad, but it ain't great! And last time I ran into a 350rwhp LS1 in my Mach 1, the LS1 lost.

maybe. I think termis are 3600 or so. I thought the mach would be at least 200 less with sra aluminum block and no sc ****. 03 turbo mach is close to 3400 if I.remember right but I think his turbo stuff should balance since he has tube k member

Stopsign32vIs that a regular occurence or did the guy lose traction,or something?I see you have almost 350 torque so I know that helps balance things out from a dig.

Local scrap yards scare the hell out of me (metal in the tires) but i did go to one place local "racers" claimed they left their scales on after hours. It definately didn't work. Truck stop I'm worried they will be like "WTF not truck gtfo!!!!!!!!!!!!"

By the time the guy gained traction I was past the 60' mark and pulling. On the street from a dig the outcome would be the same, maybe not as bad but more than likely the same.

What happened on the street when you ran him?? After all this is the STREET racing section.
