I daily drive my car every day and drive to the track 1.5 hour away beat the living **** out of it, and drive it home and to work the next day. If I was scared to break a car I wouldn't own it. Once you actually run at the track you might start trying to better your ET instead of MPH. As long as my car ETs what I want it to I don't care if it traps 100mph.

Still doesn't mean you can't race it at the track.

To some people its not worth the risk shooting for 1.7 60s in their DDs, thats all, I know where hes coming from.

I love driving my car hard, but I hate thinking about when it might go pop lol

Its clear that your car isn't equipped with a 10 bolt.


My opinion on what mach1s should run from factory is this. They are 104-105 mph cars (from what i read in here) right? With average drivers and poor 60fts, I can def see mid to high 13s. But if it has the potential to run low 13s with a driver who can make it 60ft? Def does.

Im a fan of ALL cars. My opinion is very unbiased.


I give props to the small 281 CI motor. Running 12s and traping 108 with just minor bolt ons is impressive. Especially if you pay more attention to the fact that the motor is tiny.

Makes sense for me as I'll likely rarely be home and will just be saving up bank for a house
Umm do you not know what a loft is? A loft is a type of condo in this case lol. Not the little space that some 2 story houses have. His loft judging by the cars pictured in the parking garage is at least $500,000

Oh and saving around $1,500 a month from rent for just say 4 years=$72,000 isn't much bank for a house. Making $60k a year with $1,000 monthly debt and a 30 year mortgage at 4% with a 30/39 ratio and $72,000 down is only around $215,000 for a house

Seriously though, leave the stereotypes out of the "Street Racing & Kill Stories" section. I understand Niterider gets all under your skin and everything, but were talking cars here, not racial demographics. Take that weak **** over to SVTP, or wherever else the **** you came from!

Now let's get back to arguing over cars shall we.
Well come do it then :p. Sorry if I offended you. He just acts like he's ******* somebody who we should bow down to and praise...i.e. posting pics of cars who park at his garage lulz who the **** cares.

Sorry BREDWNR

You brought it up you dumb peace of ****. You said Im hood so I showed you what our "hood" garage looks like and owned you in the process. You try to assume because Im black and have 22's I sell drugs and run from gunshots. I use to kick the **** of out people like you just for the **** of it back in the day. Good times

And dont say sorry you dumb bitch you let your ignorant mouth speak without thinking and in todays world that will get you fucked up quick. Better hope I dont tell tyrone and the boys about this one. LMAO

Cobra`s are fast, ne 5.0`s are fast.
Who said anything about a gt mustang ? You sniffing glue ? You dont make any sence. A mach Or a cobra will run with your goat so how is it a waste of fuel?

I run at Atlanta Dragway so that is a little south from me to help you out. I need to get new tires so give me a day or two notice so Summit can ship them. Other than that let me know.

There actually is a guy that recently ran a corrected 12.9 in a stock Mach 1 I believe. In fact a GM owner off here text messaged me about it. Not sure if this is what he was talking about or not but this is what I'm talking about recently. http://www.mach1registry.org/forums/...d.php?t=122153 Not sure if anyone has done better or not, honestly doesn't matter much to me. I don't like racing what if's or other people's car.


I may be able to make it to Atlanta one of these day's, it's really not too far. I'm hoping by getting my 1 piece DS on this Saturday I can get my 60' times into the high 1.7's/low 1.8's. I don't like E-racing either, which is why I want to run some of these car's. We will see if anyone shows

Oh, so a pre 11` mustang excludes GT`s?


Here is what it boils down to, and im not afraid to admit it. Mach 1- LS1 gto= Drivers race. Im not some keyboard warrior, i have no need to sling **** with you guys on the web. I come to these forums to read the tech sections and learn things i didnt know before. Like i said before, im not brand loyal. Ill ackknowledge anything fast. IMO the GTO, reguardless of the 6.0/5.7 is a far supirior car, and from a roll race it will most deffinatley win stock for stock, and equal drivers. I think the Mach 1`s are a little rarer, (not really sure how many were made, but i have only seen 1 0r 2). I am not a fan of mustangs styling, but i do somewhat like the looks of a mach. They are both great cars, cars that were designed for 2 entirely different purposes. What is an average Mach 1 trap btw? Stock?


On a side not, im begining the install this evening on everything in my sig except echuast and vararam (already done) in 8 hours

I care about trap speed only because I suck at driving and my ETs will never be good anyways.

Dude in the challenger needs to trade that thing in for a car he can actually drive. Dear lord.

No wonder this thread is 16 pages.

You're seriously annoying with all this "I beat so much ***" stuff. I used to think you were alright until you felt like everybody needed to know how badass you are. You've got nice cars and a nice living space, we get it. You think you can whoop everybody and their brother, cool. Honestly the only people I've ever known that talk this much **** were the ones who consistently got their *** whooped when they were younger, and when they go some place that nobody knows them they have something to prove. /Rant

Enough with the bullshit, back on topic.

Dont start now. He brought the **** up Im just responding, he took it to that level I was just BS'ing about cars. Dont act like I came in here flexing saying I whoop *** on the daily for no reason. Im just stating facts. And the fact is I have kicked the **** out of alot of racist idiots like him back in the day. So many I cant even begin to count. Dont matter if its me or not you talk like hes talking you will get your **** pushed in anywhere you go. Dont defend this idiot because it makes you look bad. Go find 1 post where I said anything race or fighting related before he said 22" dubs and your from the hood....

He doesn't get it. But what can we expect from a guy who lives in a town with a population of 2,000 and only 89 of them are black and 12 are mexican.

I agree. Because one idiot decided to say because I have 22's that I live in the hood and run from gunshots. Pure comedy
