me vs a bolt-on mach 1

**jim97regalgs** · 03-13-2012

This was the other night on my way home from work. seen this guy a lot around where i live but never got a chance to speak t him or race him before. wo only got one clean good race from a 30-35 roll i was in first gear. i spun first and was still able to pull him right away. my mods are in my sig, but i have a ok tune now unlike when i ran the 13.2@107.my car is pulling real nice. mustang mods are unknown to me at this time. but from asking some of my friends that know him, the mach 1 is decently modded. this kid is now all pissed off cause i posted this video of him loosing and now wants to run me again, but from a 60 roll. he thinks he will put buses on me. lol.

a 60 roll? that's half way to having nothing left. tell him you want to race from a dig, unless he's scared.

its ok lol i will do a 60 with him. my car pulls hard from a 60 roll has has good top end. but yes when i do race him again i will have my tune finished up and my drags mounted on my stock rims.

your car does not have top end like his does if he is modded a fair amount. he'll start taking you at 100.

**jim97regalgs** · 03-13-2012

i tried pulling up next to him at a stop light a few times to ask him his mods, but the guy would not even look at me. guess he was pissed lol.

we shall see. i am confident in my car. i mean a 30-35 should have been to his advantage considering how i spun first. i expected him to come back up top but he did not.
plus i have raced a n/a cobra with boltons back when i was only 3.4 no cam no ic and cobra only pulled to cars on me from 100 to 125.

who cares if his car will win from 60 up? do it anyway, and from a dig.

Who's scared to race a FWD sedan from a dig?

Psh. They have no reason to be if it's a Mach.

**SnowFlake** · 03-13-2012

5spd and 6spd cars have a mechanical advantage over us once we shift into 3rd (also if you start from 40-60ish in 2nd). You go into your 1:1 gear, and assuming stock gearing, you're trapped. That car has 3.55s and wont hit 1:1 until ~110. He'll have a big time advantage in gearing until about 140mph.

Good run OP, I would expect more from a bolt on mach. Let us know if you find out his mod list.

Machs are very capable of bottom 13's high 12's stock, it's more or less a SRA n/a cobra. They shine from a dig, why he would wanna do a high roll against a fwd car is beyond me.

Maybe ****ty rubber? Would explain why it looked like he wasn't moving at 35 also. Even a stock Mach would have traction issues from a 35 punch in first.
