Me and my friend were out in my friends Mach 1 last night while he was in his lightning, we beat an 88 notchback 5.0 on nitrous bya fender, an sr20det Swapped 240sx by 2 cars and i missed 3rd gear(me and this guy go round and round about my Redline beating him), his modded lightning, a 1.8t jetta, a GT v6 tiburon, 97 mustang gt, and we were toying around with an 02-03 M3 and an 03 bmw M5 which was really fun, we were telling everyone it was a GT hehe cause it has no badges or front lip, different rims with drag radials. It was a very fun car to drive, i definatly want one now.Car pulls like a ******* raped ape from a 1st gear punch. Just thought i would share my experience driving his car, feels alittle slower from a 40+roll then my Redline though......But my friend is very lucky, he has this Mach 1 and a modded 2000 lightning with 20's on it with a freshly built motor.

yepp..lots of torque, not a lot of horsepower!

04YellowGT

What?

Onyxd04Redline

320hp/320lbs of torque. Do you know anything about mustangs?

jekqmb

Hmmm i dont know about that, Mach 1's are faster then expected, ive drove 99-00 Cobras and this thing seemed way quicker then those stock vs stock, this thing felt like an LS1 car. I liked it alot

Witt

wow

cobalt9123

what year mach?
one at dynolabs stock made 213HP and 291TQ to the wheels.
Will post pics, if you like?

I bet you he pulls you from a roll

jekqmb

All he has is Borla exhaust and drag radials........This car straight hauls ass, i really want one now, i acutally felt like i was driving a real car, not saying the LSJ is a slouch, but it was just raw power behind the wheel.

you just need to stop talking about mustangs...seriously everything i see you say about them is the most ridiculously false statement ever. mach 1's are slightly under rated from the factory. They put down about 270ish whp and 290ish wtq stock. with a cat back like this guys got 280/300 maybe...depending on the extent of his exhaust work. bolt on mach 1's easily break 300whp

you should drive one that's got the usual bolt ons and 4.1's...fun stuff. But yea mach's are fun cars, they mod pretty decently too. They are pretty much a tad behind the ls1's in every way, until you start camming em, then the difference becomes greater, but if you don't like the looks of ls1's but you want a similarly powered car in a similar price range, the mach's a great choice. go for it you wont regret it.

take the drag radials off and waste the stock rear tires...

jekqmb

Ya we think he has more then just a Catback on the car.....It spanked his pullied,tuned,intake,exhaust lightning which is good for at least a 104-105 trap by probably3 cars. He likes to tell people his cars dont have much done to them.....When in fact they do. But i really want an Orange one now, i think they are so fun, much more exciting to drive then my LSJ.

04YellowGT

What pulley does the L have that should be a 12.6-12.8 truck 4lb lower on it. The mach shouldn't pull the L at all unless from a 40 roll which is the Ls weak point.

I love Machs, I almost bought a Comp Orange Mach1 and I kick myself that I didn't. The orange was only made in 04 and is EXTREAMLY rare in any trim of Mustang. I think only 3XX Comp Orange Machs were made.

jekqmb

Hmmm i dont know what size pulley he has, but it has a custom tune on it....I think the huge rims are holding it back, they might be 22's and not 20's...Im not sure, but a very quick truck which leaves us to believe this Mach 1 has more done then he says, were thinking its got full exhaust, a tune and gears.

cakeeater

welll if the truck is only trapping 104-105, he could be telling the truth. I've catback/tune machs trap 107+. With "full" exhaust (lt's?) gears and a tune some have trapped around 110 which would walk a car trapping 105 HARD.

Onyxd04Redline

It was a mustang GT and not a mach

cobalt9123

i dunno..i doubt he'd waste all that money just to make it look like a mach...

devon9832

I was at a lost. I didn't know what a Mach 1 was...

04YellowGT

Dude Machs do not dyno that low, no matter kind of dyno it’s on. You’re trying to convince people that actually know what they are talking about and it’s not going to happen. The numbers you posted were dead on for a GT, NOT a Mach1

How do you know it was a mach what was different looking?

Also it doesn’t take that much to make a Mach1 look “clone”, you can do it for around $1000.

cobalt9123

hood, wheels, interior, engine bay, badges, seats, interior badges, rear bumper, don't remember what else, but had the paint job of a mach cause theres one that i KNOW is real that's yellow at the bank here.
What does a mach 1 have that a GT doesn't? a different tranny?

cakeeater

so you got to look inside some random car, in the engine bay, etc. ? The mach 1 has a completely different engine. It has the 4v DOHC 4.6 from the cobras with different cams. The gt has the 2v SOHC 4.6. Mach 1's generally dyno ~60-70whp higher than a gt....60whp higher than the numbers you saw this guy dyno. slightly lower than stock ls1 numbers.

04YellowGT

It was a GT, plain and simple. What do you mean by engine bay?

Obviosly you don't anything about Mach1s. Mach1s dont have a different rear bumper, they dont have interior badges, and depending on year(04) they don't have differnt exterior badges other than one on the back.

What was the paint job?

cakeeater

has the same paint job too, just decals on it lol. it was probably a bullitt if he's talking about different paint jobs.

poppagun

The lightnign has a 4lb lower full exhaust intake and tune but the engine has 100 miles on it so he had it de tuned

04YellowGT

Thats what I was thinking
