Default Am I missing something???

My friend in his 2001 or so Mach 1 says he can beat me, he tried to get me to race him last night, but I don't street race so I told him to go to the Track next time it was open. I don't think he can beat me because I pretty much have the same amount of rwhp as he has to his engine. All he has done is cat back exhuast. So does he have a chance?

Well your pal either has an '03 or an '04 because those are the only 2 years in recent time that the Stang had a Mach 1 package. That being said, he has about 330hp. You should be able to take him.

I wouldn't be so sure about that. Those stangs are pretty quick in a straight line... HP to weight ratio and all I say it'll be a drivers race IMO.

I've raced my buddy's modded 03 Mach 1. You should be able to take him.

From your numbers posted in your sig, I would not bet him too much on the race. You SHOULD be able to take him BUT.......

Anything can happen in a race, but I'd give you the edge.

Sorry, I think I'd give the edge to the Stang if your HP estimates are correct. I think he'll hook up better.

Could go either way.

Youll win my Camaro beats Mach 1's. The thing that kills me is a few of the owners think they are Uber. One in town bet money that he could beat this kid on a new 600 sportbike and had only aftermarket exhaust and chip. The hood intake must also put ram air into their heads as well as the engine.
