Default Mach 1 goes down...not by much

so im on a 3 lane street, im in the right lane, mustang is in the left lane, random car is in the middle. i dont even notice the mustang untill we take off from the light, i look over to see he's still in first. i'm in 1st as well so i give her a little burp to get him a little flustered. he nails it then i nail it at about 20-25ish and he got a slight jump. when i got mine on the floor, my mirror was abotu even with his rear tire. i thought it was a GT at first and i was just going to walk him. to my amazement, it started roarin and stickin beside me pretty well. i hit second with his front end at about my door. he hit 3rd and i pulled my rear bumper past his front bumper, then i hit third. started to pull away and had to brake due to traffic. this crackhead does the ricer flyby on me and weaves in and out of traffic. i pull up behind him and see his mach 1 badges.

it sounded pretty damn mean so im thinking he had exhaust at least. i've heard these cars run pretty damn well from a slow roll due to their gearing. what ratio do they come with?? my only mods are listed in my sig. i tried to get him to run again but he wouldnt

Nice kill, those machs run pretty good for what they are, dan03mach on here runs a 8.0 with exhaust and gears, not too shabby for a 4.6.

Good kill on the Mach. As stated already, they're strong from a dig.

Read the link he posted. The rear had been opened up by the previous owner.
