Default 02 t/a vs. mach 1

i was going to pick up my dad up from the airport a while back, i was at the light going straight. i see a blue mustang take a right going right in front of me, sounded loud as hell probably full exhaust, l/t and probably lil more. anyways i catch up to him and relized it was a mach 1. i lined up to him to see if he wanted to go and he was game the first race was from a 45mph roll, from second to third was dead locked the whole way then we hit a lil traffic. the second time same result until i hit fourth and pulled half a car.
i couldnt tell what mods he had he just gave me the thumbs up and turned right at the next light...kinda surprised me how close he was im practically stock other than whats in my sig. anybody else have the chance to race one of these...

Good run, Mach 1's are VERY close to stock LS1's performance wise. With your mods I would guess he had full exhaust as you said and maybe gears. I love those cars, and if they weren't still in the 20$'s I would get one.

Good runs. Machs can be pretty quick. And they're rare too. I don't see them in my area too often.

Good runs! Mach 1 vs LS1 all comes down to the driver and who gets the best traction. Depending on mods, it could go either way!

The bullitt jus has the 2v 4.6, the ones that are in the gt's. The mach 1 has the shaker hood and a 4v 4.6.

^yep, 2 completely different cars. The Bullits are cool, but are no more powerful than GT. The Mach 1 makes incredible power and the 4valve responds really well to mods.
