Guess the truth hurts though.....Nothing I have posted is a lie.


SEVERAL of us stang guys have said it before...Mach and LS FBOD are neck and neck from a dig, from a roll, the edge goes to the fbod. IDK why that is so hard to get.

I guess some of the jackass stang owners that poke fun at LS1s being touched by the hand of god have some reasoning when it comes to some owners.

You could be replaced by making a STICKY of a Mach 1 stat sheet. You should really get off your high horse and join the rest of us.

I know you have owned 7 stangs...I remember that.......ANd just like before I'll tell you again...just because you owned a particular model doesn't mean you know about ALL mustangs. You never owned a mach.....As I recall the only comparison you had was a bullitt.....wow...that's close in measure. UM NOPE.
UM, slightly less gear and 30 less HP-virtually the same in every other way. The same HP deficit Mach vs. LS1 doesn't seem to bother you. I never claimed to know about all Mustangs, I've definately had my fill of your "Navigator cam" hype however.

You can say machs are nice all you want, but you continue to down grade them every chance you get.
No...Stacking the numbers in your favor and calling it a drivers race is simply misleading. A low option Z will beat the Mach everytime. Your way is to include the "porkers" and split the difference. My car for instance shouldn't be lumped in with an auto 3,700 lb F-bod which will get beat down by a Mach all day long. Take the best of both (weight/gears/trans) and the winning result points towards the F-body. Just a fact and I couldn't care less what emblem is on the hood.

Now are you plugging your ears going nah nah nah?


As for my car......it is gone......and I did have problems....twice. Where's the shame in taking care of four kids on my own instead of putting in a forged short block?......there isn't. And as for the actual problems with my car..........ask ANYONE from central CA (and there are a few members on here) about Billy and Modular Speedworx and the BULLSHIT he pulled and just how many people he fucked over. They'll gladly explain my situation from that stand point.
Okay, that remark about your car was low and I apologize. Very noble what your doing with the kids. I too have had problems with vendors in the past and it's absolutely infuriating! Good Luck to you and I hope you find another Mach soon.

Thumbs up nice kill

anything can happen. folks that say 'that's that' are probably easily surprised. I keep an open mind, or try to.

I am not a drag racer, but just for grins I took my car to HRP (Houston Raceway Park) when I got it and ran it. It was the only time I ever ran it or any other car at the track. Darn car spun like crazy... I know I can do a lot better if I want to try.

Some say a Mach will not run 13s. I am an amateur and this was my one and only try, totally stock on the stock gatorbacks. Honest

Maybe it is possible.

BTW - I am new to the site. I think I will enjoy being here.

Honestly Dave.....that paragraph right there makes me ignore all the bad (well, what I perceive as bad) things you've said. I'm willing to just let all this back and forth go and let 'bi-gones be bi-gones', if that's cool with you.

Thank you for the kind words. It means alot, because my kids mean the most and whenever someone can see that, it makes the world of difference.

OH..i have to say I had to laugh at the irony that you said high horse and we are talking about stangs.

You will be ignored here , they don't want the truth. I have posted my stock times (13.22@105mph) in these arguments many times on here and most of the time no one responds.
