So My buddy calld me up like 10mins ago. ask'd if i want to go raceing he just got a new Car a 2003 Mustang Mach 1, Auto with 9,000miles what do these car's run in the 1/4mi? U can see my Car in Sig tell me what ya all think! Thanks

 

It's a non-S/C cobra...I would like to think you would win, but it's probably a drivers race.

EDIT: only on your part though beings how his is an auto...it's there for you to win or lose.

 

drivers race, but you should have him

 

I just dont understand these people who buy "almost-new" cars and get autos. Whats the purpose of buying a fun and sporty car w/ auto transmission? Its like driving a mean minivan or something.

 

Because some people like the consistancy of stalled autos. If you have ever raced a high stalled auto with stickey tires out of the hole I bet you were playing catch up

 

Yea but the majority of the people who get the autos are ***** whipped bitches ...

They buy them cause they dont know how to drive a stick/convince them selves its not practical. For a street car, I could never see buying an automatic sports car ...

 

Have you evern been to a 1/4-mile track before to see what most of the serious cars there use for a transmission?

F.Y.I., 3/5 4th gens. have automatic transmissions. I guess we're all ***** whipped bitches.

lol hes an idiot, just act as if his post wasnt there... but... my buddy went 13.0 @ 103 on his 03 mach1 with ET streets and a catback/intake... soo on street tires, should be pretty close. depends on driver, like said above...

with a stock tc i still run between 11.87-12.1, and i have never missed a shift, although i killed a few cars because they missed theirs

 

for me nothing can replace the feel of a clutch, even if the auto car was faster i would still go with a manual.

 

The auto Mach 1's are quite a bit slower than the manual ones. The automatic Mach's have a lower redline (5,800 rpms) than the manual version (6,800). I like your chances.

 

I was under the impression that newer auto mustangs are alot slower than their manual counterparts. So in this case, I say you will win

 

Not to high-jack this thread but I have beat the **** out of alot of Automatics on the "Street" with way less mods BUT on the other hand I have gotten beat many times at the "Track" by the same Automatics I owned on the street. A4 will be the ultimate beast at the track "all about ET" but M6 will own the street "all about MPH"

I think the Mach might get you just do to his trap speed being a tad more than yours....even though he was on e.t. streets.....he will be a little quicker on the street with the smaller OD tire "more gear"

Good luck and post the results!

 

Hmm cant wait to race em guess well have to hit the track soon.
