Definitely good run OP. Two of my buddies with Machs were running mid 12s at 109-111 with midpipe, catback, k&n filter and a dyno tune.

Take them slicks off. I'm sure his et would drop with a slick, the rear would even have it a little easier. But you see we don't need a slick to outrun you because our engines out power you enough that we can do it in STREET trim.

You need sticky tires and more power to run what my car runs with sticky tires and less power. Again I say, bravo.

He will never shut up. Last time when he bitched and all about how I ran 12.5 he brought up the low MPH. I then said "What are you going to say when I go back next time and run low low 12s?"


I guess now we know.

lol...don't like the truth?

It was all good until he posted that slip about his Mach running a calculated 11.96. Then I posted a slip of what he would have to mph at to get to the 11.96 from a car that 1/8'd better than him.

Where did I do this? I don't even know how you post a calculated slip as you put it. Do you ever get tired of hearing how stupid you are?

I run my car at the track to be as fast as it possibly can be with the power I have. It's called a drag strip for a reason. Not a street trim strip you dumbass.

Why don't you do yours in street trim on 17" radials with factory wheels on the front and rear of the car? Maybe with a stock unfaceplated trans too? The point (most of the time) to go to the track is to get the best time you can, any way you can.

You posted a calculated bullshit time....my bad no slip involved but still the same amount of bullshit on your part.

Because you know it would be .5 off w/o that tire. You do it for bragging rights. We do it just to see where our cars are....because after all these are street cars. if not then your in the wrong section.

Fact: Any way you dice it, Kevin's car works.

MPH means absolutely nothing at the drag strip, ET is all that counts.... 60' matters more than ANYTHING in drag racing. If you can't 60', you can't ET what you should, no matter the top end.

Why don't you take your turbo off and run 14's?
