best ive heard is a 13.2 with a good driver.very believeable.theyre an even matchup for an a4 ls1.

 

I think MM&FF got a 13.0, 5.0 mag got a 13.1, and Motor Trend got a 13.2. There's no question about its ability to turn low 13's (5spd). A4's are somewhere in the higher 13's.

In case you're wondering why: here's what i think. If you look at the 01 Cobra's, you'll see that they run about mid 13's on average. They averaged about 270-280rwhp as well. The Mach 1's engine is suppose to have better tq throughout the rpm range (something N/A Cobra lacked), has 3.55 gears, and a live axle instead of the Cobra's IRS. With those changes, low 13's are believable. Not every car need 300+rwhp to hit those times.

 

Then they are obviously underrated.

Nice times.

lol... so you will believe him and not me.

my first post in this thread quoted mt test times for an m5 and an a4- then i post about the mach 1 making more power everywhere than the 2001 cobra. but you "really don't care" about that even though you should, if you think about it.

RiceEating5.0 post basically the same info i did and it is all good. just curious, but what gives?

 

damn, i really underrated these mustangs (mach 1) i thought they were low 14 high 13 cars where a gt is a mid/low 14 car... (which they are) i'm talking stock here btw (as in paper filter, and everything)

 

I saw average they are a mid 13 second car...

and in Fordss auto and stick is like night and day, I test drove an 01 with exhasut auto, then 5 minutes later an 02 stock 5-speed, the stock 5-speed woudl have raped the auto even with the catback.

 

I don't understand what leads people to believe that one car with 260HP/302TQ and another (not much different from the first one) with 305HP/320TQ would run the same time.

 

I'm not picking favorites here.

I believed him because he quoted times from published literature, not just someone saying what they run. I've heard to much BS to believe that.

From what I see the 03 Mach is an 01 Cobra with cold air induction, and a live axle. So if this car is running mid-low 13's....
What does the 03 Cobra run with all it's "upgrades??
I ran an 03 Cobra from the dig, and put 2 cars on him before 90mph and steady pulling away.
Actually I think a stock C5 and the 03 Cobra are a good match.

depends if hes auto or stick...auto's run around 13.7's-8's....the manuals run deep in the 13's...if auto it should be a close one, is hes stick he should beat u fairly easy granted he can drive

 

cars running 13.2's stock isnt an even matchup for any type tranny stock LS1?...MM&FF did run a 13.00 stock and i believe were in the 12's w/ dr's, finally proving the fact that ford doesnt have to supercharge there dohc 4.6 to hang or beat chevy...Some guys on this board have seen stock mach ones pull LS1's pretty good..stick ofcourse

 

talking out your *** again i see.what have ls1s run stock again?please tell me.i dont care what guys have seen.theres alot of races where the faster car loses.doesnt mean ****.

you really need to think first before you post.sorry if im asking too much.

 

not to start a flame or call anyone a liar but the issue of mm&ff that i saw all were hitting the low 13's on drag radials. unless there is a different one or i am mistaken. please dont come back with a flame war i just want to make sure i got my facts straight.

 

also the best time i found on motor trends website was a 13.8@102.5

 

dont remember the magazine,maybe it was MM@FF.bit i did read where a mach 1 hit 12s on DRs.lets also look back and remember remember the time they also got out of a heavy *** SS when it was 90 degrees out STOCK.
