The Mach-1's are right there, but could go either. Funnest race at the track stock for stock were with those when I first got my car. No doubt!

Also, if the speed gets into the triple digits, that's when the LS1 really shines.

It pulls up the tach in 5th gear almost as easily as 3rd. (At least mine does.)

Plus the mach-1's are a beautiful car. I love the shaker hood, and the wheels. I would take a modded mach-1 any day over a cobra if they ran dead even

Mach 1's are great looking cars, PS, the new Cobra runs 12.7@116 0-60 is 4.5 and the 'vert weighs 4,000+ and the HT about 3900. NOt much of an improvement if you ask me, oh, .92G skidpad.

I agree, 116 trap should be mid 11's with a drag suspension and some slicks.

Are we talking the new Shelby's???
Yes 116 should be WELL below 12.7 - I'm not the best driver and I can muster a 12.4 trapping 114. Unless these guys are running 2.5+ 60's

Most GT owners in my area seem humbled and shy. I'm guessing a few quick cars made them that way.

Off topic I know sorry but... I love that Color on Mach's

Only dumbass I've come accross is a moron with a 98 GT With Exhaust who thinks he'll kill me in a race because I have a Auto and he's a Manual.. Oh and don't forget the magical "Squeek" only he can hear? Other than that alot of Mustang owners I know are cool.

Just paypal me $2,500 and you'll have it within a week.

That'll be about $4K less I have to spend to go turbo.
