Default Anybody seen this Mach1...

I raced a red Mach 1 today, it had a body kit and a procharger, he said it was a D1SC. He was in the Eldridge and hwy 6 area. He said the car made 530HP, we ran from 45-130 twice, the 1st time I had maybe a half car on him, the 2nd run he was able to creep past me in 4th gear. The car was fast for sure, and the blower was LOUD AS HELL, sounded like a damn semi truck when he was off the gas. I was just wondering if anybody knows the set-up on this car, he said he was going to the wednesday night meet on Westheimer and I called my buddy who said he was there, they even set up a run, lol. ANyhow, if anybody knows him let him know his car is fast as hell and sounds GOOOOD.

Haven't ever heard of that car before.. If he is putting down 530rwhp he better have a forged bottom end because that motor will not last very long at all.. So were you spraying on him? because 401rwhp is no match for a 530rwhp Mach..

I know, it was weird. It had some body kit on it, and altezza style lights. It had 18" black FR500's for sure. He had a D1SC and claimed 530rwhp, from the race it didnt seem like he had 500+ but he was able to pull by me up past 120mph during the 2nd race, and the blower was LOUD. It was red, pretty much the entire car was different, hood, side skirts, bumpers, wing, ect. Looked to be a show type car more than a race car, but either way it hauled ***. It was an asian dude, he seemed really cool talking with him, I think my buddy said his name was Ben.

yea thats his name, went to high school with him, he was a couple years behind me but my brother thats the same age was/is cool with him. yea he is a real cool guy. he actually told me bolt ons and the charger but never told me a HP#. just said it was respectable for a mustang, maybe playing the car down.

Yea it really wasnt that bad, the lights were a bit much for me. At least he backs up all the appearance mods with some power.
