u prolly saw a mach 1 with gears and other things done theres no way they can get a 12 second run and too bad the average 1/4 mile time of a 03 cobra is a high 12 they must be at a track with perfect conditions to get in low 12's since they have a traction problem like most 400 horse rwd cars. oh yeah and 03, 05 cobras weigh 3800 lbs and have 390 horsepower a z06 has 405 and weighs 500 lbs. less and they run mid to low 12's so again i dont see how its possible that they are bone stock

 

go to ls1tech.com and search for mach 1 times cuz theres a lot of guys with mach ones that will tell u they run a mid to high 13

 

Maybe a convertible weighs 3800lbs, NOT a coupe. And a Z06 is 3100lbs. And stock Z06s have hit 11s under excellent conditions. Your times for just about every car are woefully pessimistic.

 

LOL. im glad to see that i brought yet another thread to life. hehe. pakisho, i feel for you bro, did you miss the part, where i already have a mid 11 second drag car.??? i mean, i guess i have to have my car on national TV for you to beleive it? is that it, you follow the typical american ignorance, and have no faith, you cant beleive it of you cant see it, thats it right. and to the dork who misread my post, and thinks i said id run 13.2 with just AEM. learn how to read, i speculated, read it again, i said IS THIS TO SAY i could run a 13.2? dont know, but we shall see.
and to the omnipotent steve C. i give up on you, you are an absolute ass. thank you for continuing to call me a liar. if youd like, ill offer you a place to stay, ill strap your dumb ass to the hood of my s2000, and show you how to drive one. or better yet, bring any one of the turds you own, out to vegas, and ill show you the taillights of my ghia. . oh yeah, as for magical Gtec land. i am not the king of Gtec, i said that, never even ran on one, but the person who owns it, has an 11.40 GNX. and tunes his car off the track, to run close to same times on the street, with the GTec. hes awful sure of it, for me to beleive that a bunch of bench racers saying its wrong, are to be beleived. i need to run it on my other car, and see how close it is.
also, id like to agree here with the one kid, sorry mach 1s, never run 12.90s. NOPE. stock, right.. cobras, 12.90s all day, no lower. i mean i agree, ive seen some fast ass cars of every make, there has been 12.1 Z06s, and maybe 12.90 mach 1s, etc. but in normal trim, with a normal guy. nah. so that right there proves my point. so you guys see a bunch of road racers who love corners out drag racing there s2k's and well, they all run 14s. so i guess that means ALL s2000's in the world do also. nah, you are just pig headed if thats how you think. look at that one blown S. with gears. 11's. cmon. ask some of the guys in vegas, they all ran 14.40- 14.70 at the track. 99 mph. when we race, from a launch, on the street. i put 5 cars on them by 100 mph. hmm, dont think that made a 4mph difference. or even a 4 tenth difference, nah impossible. LOL lame.
anyways, steve and all the other bench racing scientists on here, please YOU stop posting all your negative crap , and stick up for the s2k. if not, go troll on the svt forums.
<<<< tired of all the boolshit.

you know, its funny, if you read your own posts sometimes, or even some of your really old replies, you learn alot about yourself, and you can see if youve evolved or not. when i read some of my replies, i realize, that i hate sounding aggrevated, or upset. it is not me, by far. i emphasize certain details to make my point, never am i retaliating. just FYI. i am a humble guy, and have no reason or need to try and PROVE who i am, or what knowledge i have accrued. i simply get tired of the truth police on this site, there are several here, who are so insecure about their positions, or their auto's postion in the lineup, that they must constantly bash on those who have a neat story about a race etc. i mean, if some kid is fast and delirious, OK then set him a bit straight, but when someone has legit claims, read it for content and go on.
another thing on my mind, after reading my posts, dude... lets see. its been quite a while, that ford has been putting the twin cam 4.6 in aspirated form, into the mustang and calling it cobra, it has almost always made....305 hp.
and if you look around, well on most of the spec sheets, that pile ran mid 14s, to mid 15s. hmmm, well what in the world happened? they throw the same motor, in a heavier car, and now it magically runs 12s? nah man. gears made the difference, yes. but dude. 305 hp, and 12.90s... nope. same with some of the saleens in the last 6 years. look at the site. 14s??? lol. supercharged 4.6s?
anyways, as always i just try and add to the database of what we have all seen. without trying to fluff it up. take it easy all. dave

 

wow, why does it seem those who know the least seem to write the longest posts?

A stock Mustang GT runs high 13-low 14 with ~230 rwhp/260 rated hp. A Mach 1 weighs roughly the same, and has a ~280 rwhp/305 rated hp. It would stretch credibility to believe it wasn't significantly faster than a GT, despite having ~50 more rwhp and steeper gears.

There are a number of people who have reported low 13-high 12s stock in a Mach 1. No-one has to believe that, but dancing around claiming a GTech proves your S2000 is just as fast as a Mach 1 will only make people who know better laugh at you. A supercharged S2000 runs low 13s, fat chance getting a stock S2000 to do it with only a CAI.

 

There's a Mach 1 owner on m3forum who has hit 13.2 @ 107 in a bone stock Mach 1... Scott! They hook real well from a dig! It'd be tough for an s2k to keep up in the 1/4 mile... eliminating the launch, possibility to hang with it if you have some NA mods, should be able to beat a Mach 1 with S/C, and kill it with Turbo, but a stock s2k isn't gonna keep up with a Mach 1 providing the driver is competent .

 

maybe a little off topic, but whats the difference between the new Mach1's and a 97 Cobra, they both have 305 hp, what about torque and suspension?

 

The 2003-2004 Mach 1's have 335hp! I just looked it up!

The 97 Cobra has 305 hp!

If curb weight is the same that's a big difference between the two!

 

I was under the impression they had 305 as well
