Unconfirmed report of 05 GT vs Mach 1

If this is true that's better than I expected.

Posted by a guy on stangnet....

I can not give information on the car, except it was a stock 5 speed.....

rolling start....

it was close to about 60 MPH, and then the 05 GT pulled away....by 120MPH it had about 1 1/2 cars on the MACH

the 05 was also put up against a 01 Cobra with full exhaust and 4.11s...results were about the same.....

Rolling starts were done so driver would not be a factor....

I was not present for the race, but got information from a really good source, which I also can not give out.

I think we have a winner.......

The way I see it, both Mach I and '05 GT have similar HP and 3.55 gears. The GT has more brick-like styling, so it's a little odd to see it pull at the top end. Also, Mach I is capable of low 13's, and it appears from 13.6 AUTO GT that low 13's are possible for 5-speed GT. The conclusion of the matter is this: if anything, i would expect the GT to pull off the line, but not at the top end. If it's pulling at the top end, then :thumb:

God when will these people stop this "from a roll" bull$#!T.Kids. :rolleyes:

From a roll takes out a drivers launch and thats it. But it take alot more factors into consideration. I spit on this guys info! :bs: :think: :no: :tired:






Plus Don't believe half of the stuff stangnet gets, Those guys are morons!

DANO! Stop going to STANGNET!!!!!!! The only thing that is helping the 05 0-60 is the throttle by wire. And go tell that kid who done the race "from a roll" to take the driver out of the stats is plain BS! God when will these kids start from a stop and get "REAL" results. :irk: :no:
WHen will idiots realize there are so MANY other factors involved with a rolling start... :alert:

I watched an 05 GT run at the track and it ran a 14.10 and a 14.21 but they wouldn't post mph. I guess thats better than the mach I raced which ran a 14.30. The 05 was auto and the mach was a stick and track prep wasn't all that bad but could be better. The only way we will really know I guess is if you come across one on the street that will get on it.

That's retarded. And anyone who believes that is retarded as well.

BTW: Somebody already posted that exact same thing a few threads down.

Eh, maybe but the Mach and Cobra didn't exactly pump the doors of the 05. Either way, it tells us they are all very close as unreliable a test method as this may be.

BTW, who are you? :p I remember knowing a guy named guesswho, but this guesswhoo character I don't know. :D

I understand the reasoning for a rolling start, If it is all you can get you have to take it.

Be careful Dano, You might end up with sheep sex in your inbox. :D ;)

Huh. Maybe it was just a figment of my imagination. Or better yet, maybe I was just making it up because I have nothing better to do. I'm going to go with....neither of the above.

Isn't that the same place that reported a prototype Lightning smoking a C5 Z06?
