Default Me vs. 03 Mach 1 [video]

Well i got bored this afternoon and decided to video a few runs between me and my buddy's mach 1. The Mach 1 runs really strong for its mods, i was impressed.


enjoy.

Looked pretty obvious the cobra was having traction issues to me. Once he caught traction he appeared to pull like he should good runs.

Because if you were running 14 or more PSI I would advise you to sell your car.

Wow I really think you should have walked him a little better than that. But hey what the hell do I know?

Im not sure what that would accomplish but ok.

Yeah my car has a 100rwhp advantage. But it does have about a ~400lb weight disadvantage. So according to you i should put a few lengths on him through 1st and 2nd....really hard to do on street tires. As soon as i hit third and had traction I started to pull, I dont see anything odd about what happened.

If you wouldnt mind please go video yourself on a texas backroad cutting 1.6x 60ft's on street tires. I would love to see it, and it shouldnt be a problem since your a pro driver

But seriously I thought everyone would enjoy a good race video ( i know i do). I just didnt think everyone would have nothing good to say about it. Oh well i posted the video

Having more power doesn`t always mean you will walk somone. I can smoke the tires really bad at a 20-30 roll trying to race. I have to let them get out on me then pull them in. You got to hook or it doesn`t work! I know, try spray a 200 shot with a 408!!

1) I never mentioned your driving, assclown.

2) Please explain to me how you accurately measured your 60' on a backroad

3) Come to austin, I'll race you whenever, wherever, from whatever.

1.) thanks, i guess i got confused when you suggested I sell the car or that you hope im not boosting more than 12psi. Im sure that was a complement. No need to get angry and bust out with a catchy word you picked up from office space.

2.) i didnt measure my 60' i was simply making a point, it was over your head im sorry. Your obviously unimpressed by the outcome, i suggested you go out and try to get traction in 1st and 2nd.

3.) yeah sure ill waste my time driving to austin because i got called out by some bad *** on the internet.
