Got beat by a 03 Mach1....WTF???

[Swarzkopf]

Don't discount the Mach 1 though....they are runners. With a good driver they will run mid-13s. With some gears, exhaust, and drag radials they'll do 12s.

 

[sajoseph]

i think you need a good, nay, GREAT tune.

with your set up, you should be able to kill any mach, even well modded ones. in my experience, there not all that fast, high 13's.

Not all that fast??High 13s? I have a stock 03 Mach 1 and NO modifications what so ever, at the track it ran 13.20, and that is with bald tires!

No lie dude, to me that's not bad!

Hey, the bald tires prolly helped if the track was dry
Nice time.!

Where in Fl are you?

+1 Vote for a turbonator.

Seriously, get a tune, clean your MAF, change the sparkplugs, run him again, (practice your shifts) and let us know what the results are. I'm sure you'll have a different story

 

[Steeda90GT]

While I agree, Mach 1s are no slouch.....I absolutely MURDER then at the track with my stock engine Vortech GT. Something is not right with your car.

 

[wytstang]

That's because you have other mods. I was referring to "just" a Vortech put on the car. Oink had a couple other power mods and ran low 13's by just putting it on.

(what's 100hp forced induction worth on a stock car timwise?)
So yes, 13.0 or so for just a "slap on" Vortech without the other goodies

He also said this was at the Orlando speed world track which is crap also called "Orlando spin world". It has the rep of being a slow track which is hardly ever prepped right. All my buddies that live in Central, Fl head over to the Bradenton track and they love it. I think I remember Oink saying he went to Moroso and broke into the 12's with no other changes.

.... I think I remember Oink saying he went to Moroso and broke into the 12's with no other changes.

Im SURE it was low 13s.
I think the FIRST time he slapped it on and ran, it was in the area of 13.2-13.4. EITHER WAY, 306 with Vortech .... something's missing, unless the Mach had F.I too!

maybe it was a cobra dressed to look like a mach..........

next time, when your car is ready, end his ability to talk smack on your car, then make him look like a honda........

They can run low 13's stock and trap as high as 106-107mph from what I have seen.

I ran an 11.1 with one my first time driving it at a local 1000ft. track. The "faster" stock ls1's get that. Average is 11.2-11.3's. This is not a quarter mile track.

That's basically what they are, solid axle Cobra's... (but not Supercharged Cobra's..)

 

[meyers2211]

my brother has a 03 DSG mach 1 and let me tell you the car is no joke and runs stock cobras daily. 4.10s prochamber and mac cat back, tuned. Should be good for high twelves, wit traction.

but my car is no STOCK cobra... look at the mod list my car SHOULD BE around 450+ RWHP car mid-high 11's or so i would imagine
i dont have alot of extra time to work on my car now, but i will replace the plugs, clean the MAF and get a tune then i will leave him in the dust....

 

[93GTosu]

:OT: sorry but i saw a few of you guys are in FL!

my family just moved down there to the naples area and i was wondering what are some of the local tracks to run at?? tell me the good and the bad please? i wouldnt run my car as it's up in OH but my mom's 03GT definitly needs to see some action when i visit!

thanks.....

p.s. you shoulda known people! they ALWAYS leave out the important info when the win a race! (ur car wasnt running right!) nice run anyways

 

[sajoseph]

Bradenton Motoer Sports Park...the only drag strip in Bradenton....Awesome place to race at. East of I75 on st Rt 64.

 

[Pokageek]

your 400hp car lost to a 305hp car. congradulations. I personally would not have raced knowing my car isn't tuned to atleast run like a slightly modified car.

He's running LOTS more tha 400HP with those mods. And you should have blown him off the road like a freakin leaf blower to an freakn ANT!! NO COMPARISON WHATSOEVER.

 

[95COBRA241]

Your admission that the car feels down on power past 3800 rpm tell you that your car is not running. Get it tuned with different plugs; have it dynoed and when you happy with the results go back and spank him like you should.

 

[Pokageek]

Yep. Especially check and clean your MAF as well. Keep us posted!

 

[95CobraMike]

i shall let you all know how it goes.... im looking into some new heads tired of these cast iron things....keep having HG leaks
after those and new plugs, clean maf, get a tune...i will kill him and let you all know

 

[C.Harris]

It shouldn't even be a race with your car in good tune. Plugs with the proper gapping would be first on my list though...and a dyno tune is money well spent

well after all that you better have a diffrent story to tell
