The video makes it look like a lot more than the 5mph trap difference there is. Would love to see some actual numbers for comparison.
facts or i wouldnt have stated it! Ss went 12.9 i think not sure of mph i think 112 or 113 lazerlemon can tell u exactly. Mustang numbers were exact. This is a street race not a preped track. And the ss leaves harder than the mach. Car just works beter on street than the mach

I made fun of them alot if you look at my old post. Lazers car opened my eyes big time. I chose not to run my mouth about them anymore. other than they would have been incredible 600 lbs lighter

something is wrong with that mach if that was truly a good run for both of you guys period. I know this is a gm site but regardless most of you are smart enough to know that is not the typical case

yes 20inch wheels, huge everything makes them pigs. How ever i think the factory does it somewhat on purpose. if they start building 400hp cars that weigh 3300 dipshits that buy them and cant drive will buy them and kill them selves pretty often. they put a huge power number out for consumer and choke it down with weight

exactly and it was 34 degres out mach couldnt get the same hole shot it had on a preped track to get to a 12.9. the camaro works good enough to get same launch at track and on street. wtf is so hard to understand? not to mention 7 -8 mph!

The mach should be trapping higher than 105 with those mods.

Hes running tubular k member headers bigs and littles has more exhaust work should be 5 mph faster or so than the one in vid. i think stoppys went 108 with more mods. but he had 456s and went 12.5. Car in vid is typical mach 1 with listed mods. just alot of excuses being made

I do not have big and little's for one and since when do headers add 5 mph, and with less mods than in my sig and no tune and the knock sensors pulling 2 degrees of timing i was trapping 110.55. After reading your post i can see how good your memory is... so it is no wonder you are so confused about some thing's
