I think you have the wrong section ... your were probably going for the 'blind date' site. heh jk

seriously though ... this is for kill stories and races ... not for a location check.

Regardless of how fast they are/aren't, Mach 1's are nice cars. One of the few mustangs I would actually own (boss 302, saleen S-281E being the others).

Whoa, take it easy there killer. The guy is giving you LS1 guys props, and your shutting him down like an *******. Considering he's driving a legendary musclecar (69 Mach1), I'd give him some respect back, if I were you.

I haven't has the car to a 1/4 mile track yet but it has ben down the 1/8 a few times. i had braking problems (4wheel drum) so i was shuttin down early. but it managed to run 7.4 at 97mph, a 7.50 at 89mph, and 7.2 at 82mph. it has 2 stages n.o.s. a fogger and a cheater plate. the mid to low 7's were from a single stage. i shut it down about 500ft out each pass so i could get it to stop. it had 3.70 gears and 28x10.5x15 et. drags on alumastar welds.

Hey I have an old 69 myself.
I don't race it though, I just cruise in it. Nothing like the sound of a 427 with a cam thru side pipes.

Thanks, it is a fun car and gets a lot of looks because you don't see to many on the road these days. I don't even drive mine that much, maybe once or twice a month.
