How's 'bout you run him from a dig like a REAL racer & hang your head like a beaten doggy when he shows you his tail lights???
Yet another "My car has no top-end charge, so let's race from a dig where my better gearing and ET streets will hopefully get me to the finish line first before you come roaring by."

Sounds pretty stupid, right?

ET streets?

Why would I race with anything as slippery as ET streets???

Don't worry, someday you'll replace that glass rear-end you have under your car & then you'll be able to launch hard on a real tire - it's a BLAST btw.

Until then, all I hear from you is

Yeah my car has no top end at all It only traps 113mph now.. I guess your 114mph trap will just roar right by me now won't it.. LMAO... Get a clue and just like Angus said put a real rearend under that car, get some good tires then you won't have to wine about I can't run from a dig like all of you because the General put a POS 7.5" rearend in my car so all I can do is race from a roll like all the other No driving F---'s out there...

Dan, you and Angus beef can keep pumping each other for all I care, but the fact still remains--LS1's make more power then Mach 1's and the only reason you guys trap 113 is because you have a **** load of mods and weight reduction. My car has no weight reduction and just lid and full exhaust and traps 114. There is no Mach on this planet that can claim 114 w/ only CAI and full exhaust just like there isn't a Mach that can trap 110 bone stock either.

Umm these mods are not a shitload of mods that will greatly enhance his mph.
Mods:
Intake:JLT RAI, PHP Spacer
Exhaust:Hooker Ceramic Coated Long tube Headers,SLP O/R X Pipe, Magnaflow Catback
Drive Train:Ram 900 D/F Clutch, Tremec TKO, FRPP Aluminum D/S, FRPP 4.10's, FRPP 31 Spline Carrier, Moser 31 Spline Axles, Welded Axle Tubes & Axle Tube Braces, TrickFlow Rearend Girdle, Draglites, M/T ET Drags
Suspension:100% Stock!!!!
Power Adder:Soon To Come, N/A For Now

I ran the 2000 Z/28 it ran a 13.4@105 in the summer bone stock
Roomies 02 WS6 that dynoed 331 rwhp in an A4 only pulled a 107 mph with a 12.89 ET with a lid and cutout.

Some cars run better than others.

Sounds to me like you're just pumping yourself...

And the fact remains - I'm still ~ .5 seconds quicker than you in the 1/4-mile.

Yep, 4.30's are in (since the spring) and I had the axle tubes and torque boxes reinforced and welded in along with a custom set of subframe connectors. I'll need a few passes to get her dialed in right again and after that your cammed LS1 is mine . I hope you can dip into the high 11's. 309 rwhp vs 400 + rwhp. Can we post the vid here??????

Oh, and her name is Ruth's Chris

First of all my car doesn't have a **** load of mods that will help out in power or mph.. All I have that will help that out is my full exhaust, CAI, and 4.10 gears, all the other mods are there to make the car stronger so that it can handle the power I put down.. Your LS1 can make more power then my Mach but you still can't take it down the track faster then me so in other words your slower.. It doesn't really matter how much power you make if you can't make it work for you and move that car down the track faster then a car that makes less power.. So my car puts down right at 320rwhp and a little over 330rwtq with full exhaust and CAI but it runs some pretty damn good times in the 1/4.. BTW the only weigh reduction I have is my back seat out and the spare and jack in the trunk out.. Thats it.. If you call that a **** load of weight reduction something is wrong..

Sounds good to me, but its not Ford vs. GM its more like the mach guys vs. 2001stripper because he is a jack *** that doesn't know too much about these cars and what they can do..

Finally have an update of my race vs an 03 Mach 1.

His mods are Bassani headers, x-pipe, catback, ported TB & intake, CAI, custom computer tune, and some suspension work. Its a 5 speed car with 3.55 gears I belive.

My mods at time of race = SLP lid, BMR sub-frame connectors, and open & untuned Pacesetter headers. Don't have the right y-pipe yet, thats a whole other story. I have an A4 with 2.73's both cars on street tires.
He jumped and got me by about half a car out of the whole, I pulled even on his 1st to 2nd shift, and I started to pull ahead and stayed infront passing through the traps 9 tenths of a second before him.

So what were the times??? If you put almost a second on a Modded Mach like that something isn't right here.. And you have an A4 with 2.73's with minor mods..
