1st time @ track 02 gt vs. 04 Mach

deltaboxr1 · Aug 29, 2004

I went to NYIRP Friday night.My first time ever running the car.I have a 02 gt pretty much stock,I was on stock wheels and goodyears.My first run was against a stock 04 mach1 on stock goodyears. It was 81 deg. and 100% relative humidity! Traction was a big issue,I need a set of drag radials bad.Does my mph and 1/4 seem about right with my 60' ??
I ran 60' 2.315 1/4 14.438 @99.52 mach1 60' 2.224 1/4 14.045 @102.21

Both of you need to learn how to launch. Youd be in the flat 14s w/ a 1.9-2.0 60ft. The mach driver needs to be slapped he should be in the mid 13s w/ a decent 60.

Other then your 60ft everything looks pritty normal for you. 60ft could be a little lower, different tires would definately help that out.

Agreed the mach driver needs to wake up a little.. In defense of 'delta,' its hard launching with 18's. When I went to the track first time it was with 18's and I couldn't pull anything below sub 2.3's on the 60..

Both of you were definately spinning thru first.

Thanks for the support, but I was on stock 17" bullits w/ stock 245 goodyears

Deltaboxr1 - not that it matters, but i really wouldn't call your car stock...

density altitude?

my buddy cut a 1.865 60ft last night at the track. he has chrome 18x9.5 2000 cobra R's, with 275/35 street tire rubber on them. needless to say we were all shocked

wow.. he slips clutch very well. which street tires if you don't mind me asking.. ia've got 275/35's as well.. but they are kumho 712's which blow for launching.

Thats actually a pretty quick time for a 2.3+ 60ft. Better than average for a stock '99-up GT

codyGT · Aug 30, 2004

Psssst, Most Mach1's are high 13 second cars. I've only seen modded ones run better.

mogs01gt · Aug 30, 2004

sounds like the track wasnt prepped very well.

i think they are yokohama avs100's, i will double check with him later though. that was the only 60ft he cut like that, the rest were 2.0-2.1, which is still not bad at all, especially since it was his first time at the track

DTMach1 · Aug 30, 2004

you're times are pretty much on par...like others have posted, you knock down your 60ft, your ET's will follow.

as far as the mach, he trapped a little lower than I would've expected...with that 60ft he should've been high 13's not low 14's...

probably track prep is what got you...

Ive raced a mach-1 and ran a 13.9@99 mph to his 13.5@103 mph(5-speed) about a month ago. That mach 1 has run a 13.3@ 104 mph as witnessed by me, stock I might add, while most lightly modded 99+GT's (gears, exhaust, CAI) run anywhere from 13.7-14.2@100-98mph. Just depends on track prep, temp, driver and altitude.

codyGT · Aug 31, 2004

What is everyones definition of stock when talking about Mach1's?

How is a car with less than 340fwhp running low 13's? And don't give me the under rated story. They even weigh a tad bit more than a GT too.

No most drivers are high 13 second drivers, it's not the cars fault. Learn how to launch and where to shift your car wheather it's a 5 speed or auto and times will vastly improve. It was a big learning curve for me going from a 2 valve to a 4 valve motor. Practice makes perfect, a lot of drivers take their cars to the track a few times to see what they will do and have fun, those are the people running these times.

Amen, brother! I took my Mach 1 just as it came from the dealership (can't get much more "stock" than that!), and turned a 13.19 @105. Took it back to the track over a year later with a few mods done to it, but couldn't match the time it laid down stock!! The trap speed increased from 105 to 107-108mph, but the et wouldn't come in any lower than a 13.2!

Stock I never got mine below 13.9, but I only tried 3 passes a week after I got the car. The next day I had the exhaust put on & when I brought it back out I hit 13.5@105. My 60 foot's are pathetic though. I've never bested 2.2 60'. Near plans include beefing the rear to run X10.5 Drag Radials. That should drop my time to hopeully either a 13 flat or 12.9.

Bone stock I ran 13.5 and it was the first time at the track in 10+ years.

1st time @ track 02 gt vs. 04 Mach
