    Mach 1 What kind of mileage does a Mach 1 get ?

    My 5-spd Mach 1 has gotten as high as 28 mpg on a long road trip on the interstates, mainly in 5th gear (overdrive) maintaining a reasonable speed of about 60 mph. Around town, don't really know, but it's considerably less, since I've always got my foot in it, LOL!

    Mach 1 04 Mach 1 times

    My best stock runs were accomplished by just slipping the clutch out easy, just like I would do on the street pulling away from a stoplight or a stop sign, then nailing it. Anything more than that, and the Goodyears would spin really bad! I have to give alot of credit to the track...

    Dyno numbers look about right for a stock Mach 1. You need to work on your launch at the track though. Get that 60' down to a 2.0, and you should be in the low 13's and a couple of mph faster in the traps! :nice:

    Mach 1 what are your shift points

    I didn't even get into this, since I thought the original poster was referring to a fairly stock Mach 1 with 355's. But gears are going to mess up the entire equation, due to the multiplying effect they have on the engines' power. When you start running serious gears like you are, then you have...

    Mach 1 what are your shift points

    Not necessarily true. Drag racing is all about tenths and hundreths of a second meaning the difference between winning and losing. If you waste time letting the engine rev out to a point where it's no longer producing useable power, you just lost to that LS1 in the next lane! The Mach 1's "sweet...

    Mach 1 what are your shift points

    Unless you have some serious engine work done or some type of forced induction, the Mach 1's power band drops off after 6k, so taking it out much past that is just a waste of time.

    Bullitt and GT Differences

    Not to nit-pick, but the weight difference is about 160lbs. The Bullitt weighs in at 3273lbs, while the GT 5spd tipped the scale at just 3113lbs.

    Mach 1 whast the difference in the 03-04 Machs

    There's a HUGE difference between an 03 and an 04 Mach 1 :rolleyes: 1. The 04 has 40th anniversary badges on the fenders 2. The 03 valve covers are painted black, on the 04 they're unpainted 3. Screaming Yellow replaced Zinc Yellow in 04 4. Competition Orange added as a color choice in 04...

    Mach 1 or 03 cobra?

    Why do people even start these stupid threads? Buy whichever car you like and can afford and quit asking stupid questions on the internet!

    Mach 1 Mach1 pedal mod

    I'm just taking a wild guess here, but I'm assuming you've never actually driven a Mach 1? The pedals have been arranged for ultimate heel-toe braking/acceleration, at least that was one of the points mentioned in the comparision between the Mach 1, GT, and Cobra. Mind you, I couldn't do...

    Mach 1 Mach1 pedal mod

    I've had my Mach 1 for 2 years now, and I can honestly say I never heard of this. Can you explain what it is, and why it would be an issue?? :shrug:

    2005 Ford Mustang GT is the "Best Muslce Car"

    Without getting involved in a pissing match, yes it can be done, no it can't be done with every model muscle car ever produced. Here are just 2 examples of late 60's muscle cars that have turned in times in the 10 second bracket with just minor modifications to their suspensions and the addition...
