There is this kid in one of my classes who just bought an 04' Mach 1 about 1 or 2 weeks ago. Anyways he seems pretty cocky when he leaves the parking lot and I just know that one of these days we will be lining up next to each other so I was wondering just what do you guys think would happen from either a dig or a roll?

The Mach 1 is brand new and bone stock. It is an automatic.

My car is a 98 Z28 M6. Check out my website to see the car and I have written down all the mods in the first paragraph of the webpage. Here is the link to the page. http://www.cardomain.com/memberpage/414383

With your mods you should be able to edge him out. Don't take him lightly. He should give you a good run.

Mach 1s are pretty fast. It's usually a drivers race. Might want some more mods before being cocky to him just in case but if you drive good enough it should be a close one. Is his a manuel or an auto?

It's an automatic?? Go stomp a mudhole in that stang son.

It's an auto so go from a roll....find your sweet spot and lure him in and proceed to walk him!!!! Also check out the post here about roll racing to pick up some pointers. Good luck!!

Ford Autos in the stangs BLOW so you should win, if he was a 5 speed, he could be running near 13.2's easily and he could give you a good run!

Yea, I'll try to go from a roll and I will definately read that post and pick up some pointers.

I forgot to mention that on last friday we were both leaving the parking lot at the same time he was behind me as I was turning out of the parking lot and on to a road that was quiet and no traffic so I punched it in 1st, spun the tires on purpose right in front of him and then I got to about 60mph and looked in my rear view and he didn't even try. And then instead of following me he turned off onto a side street. So maybe now he's not going to be so cocky?? Well see, and I'll let you know if we ever do race.

hey dude! I was just reading about the mach 1 today in a motortrend magasine. It has the 03 version, but im guessing its the same as the 04.
0-60 MPH = 4.7
1/4 mile= 13.20 @ 106.70
Add a vortech in there and you got
0-60 MPH = 3.8
1.4 mile = 11.96 @ 121.16

So dont worry you should easily get him. If he puts a vortech, watch out hehe.

A Mach1 auto is a high 13 second car that traps around 102-104.
If you can drive........you'll take him....from a roll or dig.

I raced my friends 03 Mach1 MTX and I beat him every time...and that was before headers! He isn't that good of a driver....but I gave him the jump everytime.

I saw '03 run mid 13s at my local track.

2000WS6Vert

An ATX with stock tires running mid 13's? What do you consider mid 13's........13.8?

MillaTK

They can fast cars... I dont know much about the auto... but Roger got his at like 13 flat bone stock, and into the 12's with tires... but then again, not everyone can drive as well as Roger does...

Oh man...




Automatic Mach 1s are slow as dirt. High 13s @ 100-103mph. You should kill him pretty easily. Careful though, the manuals are no joke for a near-stock LS1. They'll give you a good run.

Haha... I know, I didnt even wanna say anything... haha...

Since hes an auto you should beat em, lol but let him break in the car first. It take these stangs almost 3000 miles to break in correctly.

ssvincels1

the auto's will be quite a bit slower

my buddy w/a bone stock 04 5 speed turned a 13.1 @106 if i remeber correct 2.1 60' @HRP
