The Mustang at least has a "decent" rear end. Especially with sticky tires they can get out of the hole pretty good. I'm sure you know that strapping sticky tires on an M6 LS1 and launching at 5k would be like swinging at a baseball with a glass bat. If Fbods came stock with a rear strong enough to handle high rpm-sticky tire launches do you really think it would be as close? Why do you think stock for stock Fbods pull them from a roll...

"at the track"= from a dig. People do that on the street too.
But they didn't come stock with a strong rear-end. So...

Heh heh heh... I can't help it. That made me laugh!

In comparison to a 10 bolt.......

No ****. But the street is not a prepped racing surface and that makes it easier on the 10blt. Neither car can leave as hard.

Slow *** auto machs

It's not like a Mach is pulling the wheels on the stock tires at the track.
Gotta admit, without a stall and tune, they are WAY behind the manuals.

True...

Exactly.

Traction makes a big difference, my car has nothing on the street for traction there is very little chance of me out launching a Mach 1 unless the driver fails at life.

Though unlike some I don't have fuzzy memory of what stock performance was... I drove it stock for 5 years (100 or so passes) and I'm still on 245/50R16 all seasons, though slightly better than than the RSAs it came with.

Use whatever crutch yall want to try and compare them to f-bodys. Im just saying I wouldn't throw a 9inch or a 12bolt in a stock f-body and go around picking on machs lol

You don't have to worry about out launching machs. All you have to do is stay within a car or so of them and then just drive by them. Alot of guys make that mistake.

They might be able to with that steep first gear. I saw what seemed to be a lightly modded 3v launching danm near off the limiter on a slick pull the left front and run a 13.1.......I lol'ed when I seen that.

Irunelevens

You're absolutely right, talking about how the cars left the factory is using a crutch. How silly of me.

Yes it is, cause I know I left countless time like stoppy on my 10 bolt at stock power level and the 10 bolt hung in there, my joke was a shot at people who think that it wont last past one launch at that power level such as yourself. And even if I was to break it within 5 passes. If I did counless rebuilds on the stock 10 bolt I'd still be leaving on machs as it came from factory. Soo your point is.....?

Keep trying to talk my dad into selling his 5.7l 300c and picking up a new 392 one, Any idea if the 300s will get the supercharger option? That might be enough to get him to buy one lol, he keeps talking about putting one on his current set up.....

Fixed LOL


~Edit~ I also love the fact were making full circle with displacement again

I destroyed one with a near stock LT1... I treat it like 1 pass is all it has left for good reason.
