I always will be when someone is throwing out some BS about Mustangs. Not just because I love Mustangs and own one, but because I hate people talking **** about them like they are slow. Yeah the pre 05 GT's pretty much sucked, but the new GT's, Mach 1's, 03/04 Cobras and GT500's are all gonna beat an SS/SC and SS/TC in the 1/4 mile stock for stock. Just wish people would realize this by now!!
LSJ's can hang with 99-04 GT's from a dig aslong as the LSJ driver is good, and from a roll I can see an LSJ beating a pre 05 GT. I have yet to see an SS/TC dyno 260whp, most are 240-250whp. The older 99-04 GT's put down 225-230whp, the newer 3v's (05-10) put down 265-270whp stock. Big difference between 99-04 GT's and 05+ GT's.
Unless your MS6 was capable of running 13.2-13.5 stock, then you were beating shitty drivers. Mach 1's and 05+ GT's have gone 13.2 stock, and most Mach 1's average around 13.4-13.5 while the 05+ GT's average 13.6-13.7 stock. They both dyno right around 265-270whp or so, with the Mach putting down alittle more most of the time. I would love to see an MS6 run 13.2 stock, but I know it will never happen so just STFU now!!
I can possibly see a stock SS/TC or a very well modded SS/SC beat a Mach 1 from a roll, but it would be different from a dig. If you made 264whp in your car than I can most definately see you pulling a Mach 1 from a roll. You guys have to remember there is a big difference in roll racing and dig racing, which I'm sure most of you know that, but alot are saying the Mach 1's and GT's are ****, but for some reason I cant see an SS/TC or SS/SC running 13.2 stock in the 1/4 mile.

I'm a Ford lover with an SS/TC, that makes alot of freaking sense doesnt it??? I've been around Mustangs my whole life and actually traded in an 01 GT for my SS/TC, but I still have my 05 GT.
The fastest stock SS/TC ran a 13.5, which is very very good, and I think one other guy backed it with a 13.6, most are in the higher 13 range, which is what the SS/TC's are, high 13 second cars stock. I cant see an SS/TC ever going 13.2 stock on stock rubber with no mods or tune.
my car is pretty well modded, which is why i was able to inch my way up. I know a dig race is much diffrent, i would of done a dig but can very well stop on the highway. as for pre 05 gt's, they can be fast for sure, but the ones around here dont got dick. i can see a stock TC running a 13.2 with a good driver maybe a tenth or so slower.

Definitely agree especially if the race is from a dig. The best stock time I've seen from a Mach 1 5-speed is 13.1 at 105. In 2004 the Mach 1 came with 310 hp-333 lb/ft.

i find it funny that the guys saying mach 1's are just gt's with shakers are the ones claiming kills and talking like they know everything. Mach 1 = completely different animal than the gt's. 03-04 mach 1 = 99-01 cobra with a solid rear. If you can't take an n/a cobra, you will get walked by a mach 1. the mach 1 has the DOHC 4.6, same as the n/a cobras, but with 5.4 cams, a solid rear and a different intake plenum. 275rwhp is pretty much the average. mid 13's are typical, faster is possible. bolt on cars are in the 12's no problem.

My mother in law just got a 2010 mustang gt auto and my father in law and I really want to compare. I'm tuned so I think from a role I will come out on top but not sure from a dig( think he will come out on top).
A single overhead cam V8? It would have to be a DOHC with one cam per head.
