thats one way to look at it. the other way would be ford didnt make the gt to compete with fbodys they made mach1 and cobras to do that.

My comments about the race are 100% justified and right.

Youre probably the one who tattled like a child on my name still being blue

Nope. I don't try to justify the truth with excuses. I accept it.
And when I do see excuses, I raise my hand.

Got a problem with that?
Quote me and prove me wrong mighty unit.

That may be. It's not what you said. It's how you said it...and not to me...
to other members.

You can also accept a one week time out. We don't need the 8th grade
antics. Come back when you grow up.

I've always respected the 4V mustangs. They just got shitty gearing from the factory

The Mach 1 had the same gearing as the manual S197 GT's got...(3.55) and the Cobra had the same I'm pretty sure. Shitty gearing?

I kinda agree, for how those N/A 4v's run 3.27 and 3.55 gears are a joke. 3.73s should be minimum and 4.10s should be an option. I mean seriously...3.27 gears for a car that only starts to wake up at 3,000rpms?

The 4V 4.6L LOVES to breathe at high rpm. 3.73's should have been standard on all 4V's from the factory

No kiddin? I didn't know that being a Mustang owner and everything
I agree that they should have had a little bit more aggressive gearing but to call it shitty is far from the truth. Shitty gearing would be 2.73's in a 4L60E.

Old guy?

I only have an attitude with people who think they know everything and try to "inform" people of things that are blatantly obvious.

Nice races. When I was stock I put around 2 cars or so on every Mach 1 I raced from a roll and have only raced one 99 Cobra. It was a vert and I pulled him rather easily. I know for a fact the Mach's I have raced were prob stock as they were pretty quiet. My car was a 345hp SLP car, not that it really matters. Dyno'd 317 rwhp and 330 rwtq stock.
