I was purposely not telling my recent times but since you only read the first two lines in every post you wouldn't know that. Let me see if I can make it simpler for the moron.

If your Mach is truly hungry it should do what it does best -EAT RICE.
You poke fun about mach's and rice, yet you talk crap about machs being 4 mph slower....YET PULLING A BETTER ET.....If that's not RICE, I dont' know what is. Last time I checked (and every other true drag person) ET's are what wins drag races...not MPH.
You're a crybaby panzy that gives the cool Fbod guys a bad name.......I mean seriously......you have a worse ET time, and your lame *** comeback is "I have a better MPH"?... I mean, we are still talking DRAG RACING, right?

What's your 60ft? That directly determines your time.

just brought out the old slip..

60ft was 2.1503

1/8 9.06

1/4 13.86

i dunno much bout drag racing but yea i know i can drop drastically by changing the gears and installing a stall converter

There are no Mach's on that list with just gears running 12.x. There is one with DRs only running 12.99.

The quickest bone stock ones have gone 13.09, 13.13, and 13.17 with a MPH of 104-106.

While it is possible that a Mach with gears, but otherwise completely bone stock, can and has run in the 12s, I haven't heard of it, and it would certainly be the exception, vice the rule.

And btw...this is by no means meant to be derogatory towards the Machs....I really like the cars.

I raced a stock 04' mach from a 30 roll in my stock 00 Z28, side by side for awhile but at around 80+ i slowly pulled away. both autos.

i agree i love the cars too but the LS1 has a little more top end.

does every thread with the word mach in it have to get locked? instead of all this internet racing, why don't we just organize a LS1 vs Mach 1 grudge race at HRP? i'm in anyone else?

Jeez, you really are a grade A Jackass. Quit typing so fast and think for a second. I originally posted here to share a couple experiences with Mach 1s. The Stang crowd quickly came back with "must've been a crappy driver blah, blah..." when right there in grey03s sig is 12.9 with 4.10s and DRs. Nobody in the races I mentioned had DRs. Do you get that? So if I run a 13.0 on street tires and you put grey03 on street tires who would win? His car isn't faster, his tires are better. Thats why you look at MPH. It takes more power to go 111 than 107. Do you get that? You remember when Hot Rod magazine compared the WRX STi to the Cobra? WRX had a faster ET. I guess you'd walk right past the Cobra and buy a WRX right? Sure the Cobra trapped about 8 mph faster but who cares? I spend 99.99 percent of my time on the street and that's where a mach 1 (so far at least) hasn't been a problem at all.
