Meh..both motors have went into the 6's. Besides, were talking high 13-sec *stock* Mach's here not all out drag cars.

Although I did hear a Mach can run in the 9's with just a gear swap and power-shifting past redline!

I already regret even getting in this thread, but high 13s? At what elevation?

Remember in the other thread a certain Mach 1 owner tried making fun of me, saying i had the slowest LS1 car made? Well this isnt even a STOCK 350Z, and i was practically sleeping at the light. For the love of god they better hope they are faster than this car.....

All the times in the article were different but I found this in one of them .....(We did have a chance to test our five-speed Mach 1 press vehicle on the dragstrip, making a pair of back-to-back passes during a Bradenton (Florida) Motorsports Park test and tune day. Forgetting to turn off the traction control on the first run resulted in a time-killing bog when the rear tires spun on the first-to-second shift, although we were impressed the car still managed a 13.81 at 102.40. With the traction control off on the next pass, the Mach 1 responded with a 13.54 at 103.14. We've heard about other Mach 1s dipping into the 13.20s with more experienced drivers.)

The statement in question was, is the Mach 1 a high 13 sec car?

http://www.musclecardrive.com/ford/2...ang-mach-1.php

Quarter Mile 13.2 @ 106.7mph (5 speed), 13.88 @ 102mph (automatic)

If you had read my post this is in there. The rest just agree that the times range from mid to high.
