Mustang GT Highway "Race"
I was driving down the freeway at night and came up to a mustang gt. I slowly passed him and that's when he decided to gun it. I didn't even downshift to the right gear, but I kept pulling ahead and then finally he gave up. Later on I slowed down to let him catch up from about 3 miles back. He tried again so I floored it and got up to 120 and he backed off again knowing he could not pass me. Now I have my Borla Exhaust and Stillen installed......no chance at all now.

...but as a toy, it's a fun car [img]/w3timages/icons/smile.gif[/img] I just drop the top and downshift when I go through underpasses or tunnels-- GOTTA love the growl of a V8. Mine's in the shop, I get it back on Sat. so I can abuse it a bit more before it gets too cold...

The Mach 1?
Are you serious? Just so you know, the Mach 1 has essentially the same engine as the Mustang Cobra, but before the 03 models, which are supercharged.
A well driven manual trans Mach 1 should run mid to low 13's in the quarter mile. They do have an automatic Mach 1, and even those run in the 13.90 range.

Re: Mustang GT Highway "Race"
Take a look at the current (Oct) issue of Car and Driver magazine (or possibly Motor Trend, I forgot which one I saw it in)
Anyway, they tested a new Mach 1 with automatic tranny and got it to run high 13's. In the text, they compared it to the manual version that they tested, which ran low 13's.
Or take a good look at the Mustang forums. Most owners report times well into the 13's, bone stock.

Mach 1's will run low 13's with an exceptional driver. I know you guys are gonna call BS, but Muscle Mustangs and Fast Fords Magazine has an incredible driver (Evan Smith). He ran a 13.1 with a stock Mach 1. They will run 13's easily. Motortrend drivers need to learn how to drive.

Re: Mustang GT Highway "Race"
Yeah, Evan Smith is a BADASS driver........I think he could abuse a 6MT into the high 13's. He drove a bone stock '99 Z28 (not an SS) to 12.89 (6MT) and a bone stock '99 C5 HardTop to 12.6, again bone stock. I wish I had his drag racing skills!
