Default Mach 1 vs dumdumdumdumdum

Well I was at the track in my g/f's Mach 1 and I managed to get lined up next to a modded dumdumdumdumdum. The mods to her Mach are just catback exhaust, O/R midpipe, and a shifter. Light turned green (not really, I left on the 3rd yellow ) and I jumped ahead of the dumdumdumdumdum by about 2 carlengths and held it all the way to the end. We got back in line and he said "Man you were grabbing some gears, I heard you chirp 4th!" I short shifted her car bad and feel it costed me quite a bit on the MPH . Was my stupid *** fault! Oh well, it was the first time I've ever run a Mach at the track. Man you can tell they are at home in the 1/4th mile!




Why in the hell is Neonsrt4 replaced with dumdumdumdumdum!?

13.2

Give me one more test and tune day in her car and I will have it running 12.9-12.7 the way it went last week. Just need to get down the shift point and leave alittle harder.

I would have gotten a better time but it was the first night of the season for the track and man were they packed!!! Countless stupid ricers were there in their Hondas. I heard a guy in a Civic and an Integra bragging to eachother about running a 16.3 against a 16.6.

Yea after watching her car go down the track she wants to mod it asap (she bought it with the exhaust and I bought her the shifter) and learn how to drive it hard so she can run it down the track! I think she is coming after my cars!

I'd be happy too with my 16 second pass if I were a highschool kid with a $1300 Honda.

Just keep her away from the turbos and the juice and you should be all set as far as her coming after your car. Then again, a nice Kenne Bell would do wonders for that Mach 1...

The Cobra is more suited at the track...the turbo car is just a knock around town DD.

No, the Cobra!! I am not sure what It'll run yet but Allan said it should trap 120+mph. It sure feels like it would. Right now I cannot hook under 40mph on the street even with the M/T DR's. I am gonna order my new set of rims so I can put some more meat in the back.

I don't doubt your car running those trap speeds at all! What size tires you gonna go with in the rear? I know my car hooks like a sonofabitch with the 15" MT DR's!
