If so, I am up for a run..
Raleigh here, man! Would love to run ya just for fun. I'm an ex Mach owner, so I have a soft spot for them and always enjoy seeing them in action. The OP's run sounds about right when you factor in the fact that every driver is different. I was able to run a few 12.9s in my Mach with 4.10s, ORX, tune, weld in FMs, and a drop in filter. Had I ran DRs and pulled better than a 2.0 60' I feel certain it was 12.5 capable. Lot of people are experts on them, yet have never owned one.

Nice man...a local.
Hell yea!..I would be up for run...If that is your car in your sig I think I would have a hard time though since you have about a 5mph trap speed advantage. However, I would not mind getting beat by a well built LSX car!
I have been going up to the Sonic in Raleigh on Friday nights so if you are in the area, stop by and say high...Check the HPJ local forum for info on the Sonic..

Yea, thats it in my sig. It'd just be for fun. It only runs 11s on DRs and on the track. On the street with street radials, its nowhere near that, lol. I'll definitely check out HPJ for that info. Thanks man!

You have a killer ride man and 11's is sure hauling the mail...If you want to meet up for some friendly runs, I am up for it..I will bring out a couple of buddies...one with a 06 GTO and the other with a spraying 01 Cobra w/bolt-ons..hit me up sometime on here or HPJ (same screen name) and we can meet up.

Thanks man, we'll see how long the 4l60 holds up!

Sounds good, I'll be back in town Saturday, so I'll hit you up when I roll back in town. I stay right over here off Tryon and Saunders in Renaissance Park.

Sorry man..I am a little dense sometimes..I was just trying to understand what you were saying...If it is a dig, that's cool...I am used to it since I own a MACH 1 and I am on LS1Tech..
