Since you're from the area man, I'm sure you've seen the blue Mach 1 that drives around. I pulled on him like i was racing a skittle heading northbound of trouble creek on rowan. i think he has a catback... maybe? not sure. that was before i had bo white port my tb and changed all fluids to royal purple and before putting nittos in the rear. my tires would break lose just punching it in first on street tires. i thought it would have been closer b/c i heard they can run high 13s, but then again... a bolt-on LS1 is an easy high 12 sec. car and low 12s with the right driver and mods.

I have seen one around here, but the last time I raced one was a few yrs back. All I had was my LM, cai and lid. He had gears and a cat back. We were talking at the light at hudson ave and little going north and when the light turned green we were still kinda talkin, we then took off and i put 1-1 1/2 cars on him to 100. I dont know if it was the same guy or not, but I have seen the blue one. I've also seen a white one and a yellow one around here too, but Ive never had a chance to race either one of them.

i don't pay attention to magazine stats. i don't doubt that they aren't low 13 cars in stock trim, but from what i've seen at the track... just under a 13.8
if i got my car to hook, i'd be into the low 12s, but right now i'm low 13.3s@ 110mph. alomst wish my car was A4

there's no way this guy had gears in his car when i raced him, unless they wear just slightly a lower ratio than stock. then again, he did take off right beside me, but then i gained lots on him before getting out of 2nd..so up to 65-70 mph (no rev limit on my car... i know STUPID) the only logic solution i could think of is that he missed 2nd gear... but who the hell misses 2nd?
