I have time slips and vid if you like. Some people can't drive if it mid 13s is what your seeing or they are in bad air. HioSSilver was at Dixon and watched me run my numbers.

Info would have been useful in the first post, still even if the Mach was stock this race should have looked a little closer down low. I would expect high 12s @ 108ish from a Mach with those mods. Enough to keep him ballpark until past the 1/8th and then losing by a couple lengths. It honestly looks like he blew the tires off and the SS got a good launch. Win regardless just makes it look like the SS is worlds beyond the Mach when it should have been a good race. Good kill not disputing it at all.

I would post them up before others start calling BS. Also you might look into heading to ProMotion Tuning in Fredericksburg. They should be able to hook you up.

Thanks for the info. I want to run some 12.70s before I touch the car and I have a lot of warranty to make use of before I mod

Nice kill, looks normal to me. I raced a full bolt-on Mach with 4.10s a while back before i put the cam in my car and lets just say it wasn't much of a race.

Watched a stocker pull that off here at Cordova so I'm sure where you are it's more than doable. He had pretty good air that night (little negative da) despite not being an east coast track.

I got the 3rd kill while driving Lazerlemons Camaro.



It was a 2012 5.0 Rabbit with a jackass kit.

they get a bad rap because when they run into same model year cars, they get killed. i ran one friday night somewhere, and it was really bad for him. i'm sure he lifted at some point early, i was pulling hard. it was definitely worse than the Mach in the video.

You probally ran a stock one. With your mods I can believe that. I have a friend with a new 5.0. We tried to get him to come out and play but that was a no go. He's not into that kind of stuff.

Hell we wanted to run the supercharged Mach that came up with the gang of Mach's to my house. He was breaking in his clutch. So we ran the fastest n/a one of the group.

My bad i seen M/t DR and assumed you had some nice 17inch skinnies up front.
How ever it looks as if in your sig you have some weight reduction going on. And are you one of theese guys that thinks just because you run xx.x at the track that your car does exact same on the street? mustangs dont. The 5th gen does at least at his current level of mods. Wich is zero.

No they don't, if you have owned fords and can't make them fast n/a thats your business. Good kill for the ss.

That was our car last fall, bone stock. Think the DA was close to 0-100 feet. 1st run 13.00@110.9, 2nd run 12.86@111.3 and then the .75. I think more seat time and a looser motor would maybe get a .50. Car had 900 miles, its got 1100 now
