And you're saying, you would "drag" his car with your mods?

If anything, I think he would be doing the dragging in regards to your 8.56 gears.

Unless you have a 5.0 in there?

I acknowledge that any LSx car is quick but to think that a MACH 1 cannot run with one only means that you have not done your homework. Underestimating another car because of hate or what you read on a biased forum will not get you anything but an "X" in the Lose Column. I would never underestimate an LSx or Mopar ...however, a Yugo, I would.

There you go buddy...once you get more mods done to that 346cid, find you a N/A 281cid Mustang and see how bad you win/lose. That will = us racing.

Sure they do. Go out and pull yours down a couple gears manually......lol It's the hole rev matching thing they suck at. But there are some new auto's that can do that. There getting to the point that auto's may be cool very soon.

No offense taken. And yup, I'm very familiar with how bad the V1 is off the line, which is why I've spent more in suspension then performance. And I do drag it, but its a 2 hour drive to the nearest track, basically. So drive 2 hours, pay, get maybe 2-3 runs in within 3-4 hours, and go home? Meh. Truth is though, I didn't buy the car to drag race, and I still give people their run from a dig or roll.

So if Adam was to run me that day when I aborted yea he would have won. However I still coulda got it back into gear and outran him. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHHAHA
Forgot how lightning fast those Machs are when you rev em over the redline and grind it till you find it. I think you're losing your mind to think you can miss a gear and still outrun him.

I agree with this completely. No bias in regards to the Mach. I told Stoppy I don't see how he wouldn't have enough to run bolt ons. But Stoppy is losing his mind if he thinks he can drive half assed, cut 9.8s and walk people.

LOL once you miss a gear how long does it take you to find it?

Lol his mach would literally reel me in from several cars deep if he missed a gear and put it back in. Keep in mind 4.56s basically mean he has 30 mph per gear. Thats just the rate of acceleration his monster accelerates at, INSTANT PULL BRO.
