Can I Beat a 69 Mach 1

So here goes. I drive a 98 Z-28, M6, T Tops, with intake and Flowmaster exhaust(I know, I know too restrictive. Soon to be SLP Loudmouth). Anyway my girlfriends parents own a 69 Mach 1, candy apple red with a 351 windsor bored 30, 600 cfm holly carb, with a very mild cam, and flowmaster exhaust (40 series) very beautiful car. It has stock gears and the stock 3 speed cruise o matic. They seem so assured they can beat me, and since they are my girlfriends parents I don't want to talk smack. I honestly don't think there's any chance they could take me but I'm just wondering is there any chance that they could beat me. Also if anyone has raced a 69 Mach 1 I'd like to hear the outcome.

You WILL hurt there feelings.




A friend of mine has one of those and it has a Clevland with a decent cam, 10:1, LT's, MSD, 750 holley ect... and the best he could manage with the car was a 13.7 at 103. If you cant get that out of your m6 LS1 then you cant drive.

Thanks man. I'm not the best shifter in the world but I can get the Job done. I never thought that they had a chance they just sounded so confident.

I would tell the parents you will do to that car like you do to their daughter...:D "TEAR IT UP"

Well actually I don't have a death wish, and I respect them. I love the car, just hate the way they rag EVERYTHING thats not a 69 mach 1. Her dad said one day home one the way from work he raced a 03 Cobra thats right Cobra he said he raped it. Inside my laughter was hysterical. He says a 4.6 is crap and he can take one any day.

Grow some balls and flat out tell the guy..."look, I really care for your daughter, but enough of this crap about your beating cars that it has no chance against."

I mean what are you going to do if you race him...loose on purpose so not to hurt his feelings?

lol:bow:

you should make it even better, give a car head start......."cause your daughter always gives me a head start" :shrug: ;)

Well that must not be a very good setup 351C's are pretty killer motors. If its not a 4v car maybe but a 4v has massive heads. They flow about 260-270ish stock on the intake at .600.

:lol: after you give him the head start and win, you can also say, "yep started in the rear an finished out in front just like she loves it"

You should bet money on it to make it even more embarrassing :D

You need to tell him that his rustang get bet your Z when in 3rd gear. That if he had a 03 cobra than yes; he needs a reality check and stop thinking his mustang can even compete against 5.7 motor:rolleyes:

No its just a 2v motor. I just think it was a bad combo. It had some torque, thats for sure.

LOL:bow:

I had a '69 GT fastbck with a 351 and a 4 speed. You should'nt have any problems beating him unless you smoke the tires off the line.

"'69 eh!?!" my favorite year and your daughters favorite position.



(sorry but they cranked up my depakote dosage this week):p

you know I started this to get an idea how that car will run. Not what positions to bend my girlfriend in. Thanks for the people who can actually answer a question. But for the rest of you learn to respect a woman and maybe you could get some rather then making stupid jokes in a car forum

Yawn...look, what the hell does respecting a woman have to do with your inability to talk man to man with someone...regardless if it is your gf's dad?

It's not about an inability it's about knowing when and when not to keep your mouth shut.

welcome to the cz28..... next time keep it plain and simple. no invitations for innuendo's.
but you gotta see that one coming ; your girlfriend, her dad, a "69" mustang, respect....nice setup for a sitcom episode.

It's not about an inability it's about knowing when and when not to keep your mouth shut.

How about when they drop then you start talking smack.

Basically your being a lil' bitch who is letting your gf's dad walk all over you because your concerned he will do what? Tell her not to date you anymore because you stood up for yourself? Are we talking high school crap here?

Just do what's best for you. If that means losing on purpose to your girlfriend's Dad, so be it.

If that's the case, maybe one Sunday afternoon he'll be out cruising, jammin' to his 8-track, run into a modified LT1 or LS1 and get his ego deflated REAL quick.:D

It might be a good idea to do a weight reduction mod before you race him. I suggest removing the tampon.

High school crap sure.. I'm a junior scared of her dad.. no. I've never rode in this car. nore have i ever seen one run. Just wanted to know what i could expect.

Who's gonna put that in their sig?:D

My girlfriends parents drive a gay Element, and I've "respected" her in that thing multiple times. lol

Ouch...

But seriously...if I were you I would just bs him and tell him you played with one on the highway and it was no contest.

Then if he talks smack about smoking you...he is calling YOU out and then lay the hammer to him.

If he gets pissed about that...then you just avoid the tool after that.

You'll kill him. Most old timer's think the cars from the 60's are fast but there are really very few STOCK or close to stock one's that are worth the shnit. Not that they are not cool just not fast in stock form.

they did also have a lot of other problems such as traction as well. I believe in stock for a 69 Mach 428cj ran a 13.5 for a magazine. Thats not bad considering they came with 7inch wide polyglass tires.

BUT, we are talking about a car that probably runs 15's with a good driver.

im fond of the "my '7x chevelle lifted the front end right out of the showroom......it had a 454"

those i like:)

well i haven't seen one around here. guess i'll just have to race him. o well if what yall say is true. shouldn't be a problem. like i said i'm no race car driver but i can drive fair

...I want an update on this. BTW people joking about each others' girlfriends is very common in here, I wouldn't take it as anything other than a joke. Anyway let us know how it plays out ....

my girlfriend has a '69 Mach 1 with a stock 351 windsor, an auto trans and it is a dog. However, her dad has the same car but with aluminum heads, mild cam, shift kit and quite a few other mods (carb, intake manifold, exhaust, etc.). It's pretty fast but I have a feeling that my 94 Z28 wouldn't be far behind.

Basically what I'm trying to say is that your girl friends dads car seemes to be between these two Mach 1s as far as mods go. So, I'm pretty sure that you would win the race.
