Mach 1 for me to poop on
So, I'm driving down the street a few nights ago.. Next thing I know, I see this blue mustang pullin up next to me. Didn't see any GT badges or anything, looked and sounded like a V6.(What mustang doesn't sound like a v6 compared to my headers/ORY/cutout).. The dude proceeded to race me like 4 times, and I stomped him.. It was so slow, I was sure it was a V6. Pulled ahead of me enough at a stop light that I could see on the back of the car that it was a Mach 1. 03 or so I believe. I know they have 305 horse, and 1/4 similar to a stock LS1, but.. man, this car was slow and sounded like crap.

i think this is kindaa B/S...not to say its not b/c i have had some experiences. So to please clerify this situation, inform us of the races...like from what roll, or dig, how many lengths in each gear. things of this nature....then the verdict will be in.

As far as the shaker hood and stripes go, I really wasn't paying attention..

from 40 or 60 to... So you are saying you "killed" a Mach 1 by at least 2 limo-lengths?

The races from 60 I took to I'd say 125 or so..
Maybe not 2 limo lengths, but at least one and a half.
I quit making up race stories when I sold my turbo supra.

Maybe it was a V6 if it sounded like one. One thing MOST folks agree on is that a mustang sounds pretty good even with stock exhaust.
Good kill.

Since I'm already talking about mustangs, here is another curiosity I never quite understood.
There is this douchebag kid from my hometown, with a 5.0 mustang GT, always talking about how he has the fastest car in the city.. I know he had exhaust, and like a 75hp shot of n02. He scrapped the n02 for a supercharger, and on several occasions I found him and we ran, and.. I swear on gods green earth his car was slower than the mach 1...
He always claimed that his car wasn't tuned right, and ever time we ran he would say "I gotta go home and plug it into my laptop"
I know a bad tune can make a big difference, but.. that bad?

Not enough details. Depends on year, etc. I think he was very much a bullshitter if he had a "5.0" that he tuned himself with a laptop... You are probably right about it being slower than an 03/04 Mach.

I'm pretty sure he wasn't bullshittin about the laptop tuning, he did have a wideband with an afr meter and there isn't anywhere near my city where he could have gotten a dyno tune, I had to drive 200 miles..
