I called you a ricer because you said that the cobra has a blower, so take the blower off or whatever to make it an even playing field. That is something a ricer would say about an 8 cylinder

Anguss66-- Its funny you should mention the mach 1. We have yet to see a fast one yet. Maybe we just dont have enough of them around, but none of them have impressed me yet.

Don't some of you have any basic reading comprehension skills 
You just have to read the posts, than sometimes, you won't be so quick to jump the damn gun!

which plenty of them do with the right bolt-ons.
So your continued assertation has ZERO truth to it...

DEFINATELY not faster than this one either.
Not saying these are earth-shattering times, but just because you personally haven't run one of the faster Mach 1's,
doesn't mean that plenty of them don't exist...

Here's a Mach 1 that my buddy's shop built:
680rwhp/730ft-lbs on a Mustang dyno!

Seemed to me like the car had pretty much the best of everything installed on it.
BTW, here's some slips from another Mach that runs similar times:
Wish I knew what they were doing differently than I am.
Powershifting (or shifting at a different RPM?) maybe, or it could all be in their better 60' times I guess...

The second one has weight reduction and an electric water pump. It only weighed 3385 w/ the driver. I know there are some out there that run good, i just havent seen any around here do it. I have yet to see one trap 114 or better without weight reduction. Remember it takes horsepower to put up high trap speeds.

Maybe you guys could come to N.C. sometime.You don't go up to someone at the track who just beat you by a few tenths & say "But I trapped higher than you, so I really won that race!" do you?
I know full well that trap speed indicates power production, but if you can't efficiently apply that power to the ground then to me it's useless until you can.
BTW, the Mach I posted about earlier just ran a 12.21,
but still at 110.8 mph:
