Default Mach1 with ONLY DRs goes 12's

http://www.mach1registry.org/forums/...&threadid=7175

for those not wanting to click the link.. his times were...

O.K., I was running 245 Nitto DR's, but (except as noted below in the sig) the motor is stock. Weather was about 80, with a bit of a headwind.

Timeslip as follows:
1.939
5.541
8.360 @ 84.83
10.874
12.995 @ 106.19

Air pressure was 21, shift points were 6100 (+/- 100), and I shifted into 4th at 6100 as well.

The Nittos hooked MUCH better than the stock tires, yet I still chirped the tires at all 3 changes.
pretty impressive... on 245 DRs even.

his sig reads..

'03 Azure Blue 5M IUP stock (except for the ball in the fender inlet) 1.99/13.38/104.5 277rwhp/302tq
'67 Firebird 3A 11.77@113.6 in street trim
he hasnt even done the "free" mods of removing the silencer and MAF screen.. just clocked the fender inlet...

I should have tried to see what my car would do in good weather without the mods except tires. I know I could have gotten this damn thing in the 12's. :/

That's a really nice 1/8th mile time. Them mach's can move when stock, and they only cost $22,995 ... that's a helluva car to beat up on and still have a warranty

I hear you there. It's more or less the same car as an 01 Cobra but with a solid axle instead of IRS.

First the 03 Terminator Cobra's actually come out and kill my resale value and then this.... FUCK FORD!

Fords business practices are all fucked up.. tons of quality issues and now this..i am done.. i am thinking a nice new Pontiac GTO .. leave it stock.. and be done with modding late model cars.. build a autox/track impreza.
