Default Finally ran a Mach 1

So i was at the local hangout friday and this group of 2 mustangs and 2 camaros pulled up. ive never seen them before so i figured id go see what was up with them. One was a 99 gt and the other was a 03 mach1 i believe. I asked the mach 1 what he had done and he said intake, exhaust and full steeda suspension. I was like well hed be the best race for me so i asked if he wanted to race and he said sure. I have a 99 z28 with a lid and catback m6. He said he beat one of the z28 camaros on the way up there by 4 cars so i figured id show him whats up lol. So we agree to do a 45 roll which is my best and he said was good for him to. So we line up and i honk it off and we are pretty much dead even through 2nd but as soon as i banged 3rd i started to pull pretty hard but he missed 3rd so he said lets go again. We line up 1 more time and do the same roll. I honk it off and we go. I pulled like maybe a foot or 2 in 2nd and hit 3rd and pull like 3/4 to a full car and mid way through 4th i had him by 2 cars. When we got back he didnt really say a whole lot just that my car ran good and i said the same. All in all it was a fun 1st race with a mach 1

Yeah, good kill... if it were me I would have done the 45mph roll and a dig race, but my guess is he was cocky enough to think he had you covered from a roll. That was his downfall.

Okay, what the hell, good kill to the OP. What kind of mods do you have? I've raced a trainload of LSx cars, Camaro's, Firebirds, GTO's, and Corvettes, won some, lost a few, and I still haven't seen this wicked 3rd gear pull you guys keep talking about!

HAHA! Did the camaro know he was racing? A Mach1 beating an LS1 by 4 cars take a lot ! He was lying his *** off! For the most part, Mach1's and LS1's seem to be a good race from what I've seen. Nice kill!!!

Huh, I've never heard anyone mention a wicked 3rd gear pull, just a strong top end in general. But seeing as how you are modded, I'm guessing you're not necessarily going to see it anyways.

Its not that its exactly wicked or anything. It just seems like the car gets another set of lungs midway through 3rd. At least thats how it is on my car and thats where I leave most of the mustangs in the dust. I suck (driver) on launch, either too much or not enough, 2nd pulls them in, and 3rd is the nail in the coffin.

I only have a cat-back and a lid. I would have done a dig if he wanted to but he said he wanted a roll and thats better for me so i didnt ask for a dig haha. The funny part about the mach 1 beating that camaro by 4 cars was that the kid with the camaro admitted getting beat by 4 cars. It was an aout but he still shouldnt have been beaten that bad. When they said that i thought they where messing with me n i was gna get beat bad but i figured what the hell mite as well lol
