ok well this guy wants to race me and hes been talkin soo much $HIT and ive been letting it go by me.....well finally i said why not lets run i have intake,exhaust,headers,and droped

so question is will he still walk me??? i know there fast and reason why i didnt wanted to run him because i thought he could just beat me easily but he is stock

ohh yea sorry i didnt know where to put this thread

 

I have no idea. But why spend all the money on your mods if you're not going to put them to good use?

 

AT? You will lose, maybe.

Mach 1 has 300 HP, 300 TQ I believe, and if he's completely stock then you might have a chance with a few bolt ons. If he's got anything, and I mean something as small as an intake, your screwed.

 

Driver to driver, you're smoked, even with all your mods. Those cars are underrated (305hp) and make over 275whp stock. A decent driver in a Mach 1 should coax out a 13.5@104mph. Good drivers pull 13.3s or so.

 

MmMM well lets see i am stock and ive taken on a 2005 GT stock which is the same HP as the mach1, and let me say this, it will depend on the launch..i beaten two of them and got lost to another one by half a car...so good luck on the launch, you are not stock so you should do fine...

 

Street racing proves nothing. The truth is revealed at the track. You beat the drivers, not the cars. I've beaten significantly faster cars at the strip only because the drivers weren't very good.

 

So what? My G, stock, has 50 more HP than my '85 Corvette when it was stock, and the G is slower in the 1/4 mile than the Vette. You cannot make such a comparison between two different cars because they have the same rated HP.

Gearing and torque curve are just as important, if not moreso, than the peak HP of an engine.

 

my 05 6MT beat a mach1 with a k&n cone

 

EXACTLY and this is another example why JUST HP numbers (peak power) is more promo tool.... there are more things like torques weight/HP ratio, rwd/fwd/awd?, hp/torque curve etc...


I hope you got the point

 

Got beat by a mach 1 yesterday...but only by about a car length...mach 1's all have intakes, thats what makes them mach 1's, they also have the DOHC 4.6, like the cobra, not the stock gt
