Just to see what some of ya'lls responses are.... what exactly happens to these "freaks" on the assembly line that gives them an extra 2 mph in the 1/4? I understand how it happened back in the day or whatever, but in a modern plant..... indulge me please, lol.
I know it costs me about $600-700 to mod my previous Machs to gain 2-3 mph, so I would love to know Ford's secret.
(Sorry guys, I'm off work today and I'm bored)

Basically, lol. 4.10s and an ORX. Pretty much the only two worthwhile mods to do to those cars unless you want to jump on the "slippery slope" of serious modding.
LMFAO 
^^^^^ U crazy fukr.
Seriously though, is that true?
I heard they put naawwzz in the intake manifold in a secret compartment. It's a special kind of nawwzzz like the ones you can find at the convenient store, only this kind never runs out. When you go WOT it sprays about a 20hp shot until the flux capacitor can't handle anymore, thusly giving the "freak" an extra couple mph over the next guy. I also heard that to own one of these freaks, you have to be a phaggot. True story.

if all of stones mach 1s are factory freaks, why can't bolton's mach 1 be one? I mean, if all 3 of stones mach 1s have been freaks there could obviously be more. Or maybe they aren't freaks and thats just what a mach 1 can trap.
Nah, lets just say bolton is a lying sack of **** and that somehow on a machine assisted assembly line a car can somehow end up making enough power to trap 2-3 mph more than the other cars. That makes way more sense. :P

^^^ note the words "GREAT DRIVER", "AMAZING DRIVER", "FLAWLESS RUN" etc etc etc for 105MPH with the manual transmission... and the constant downgrading of the automatic vs. the manual... things like this...
if a tuned automatic mach 1 will trap 106-109MPH then I guess we should make a chart of every car ever conceived and raise the stock trap speeds they put down by about 2-5MPH, and let's make them ET 2 tenths quicker while we are at it... and then we can have our own MF S&S magical chart, so every car make and model can perform like they magically have a 50 shot in the glove box here in this section

There's also the freak factor. Some of these cars were a little more powerful than others from the factory. Don't know how or why, but the RWHP wasn't the same across the board on all the builds.

105 is the lowest I've seen but with a professional driver. That's not going to happen with a normal driver most likely.

Me... 13.3 at 106 automatic
Grif... 12.9 at 107.6 automatic
Youtube chick.. 13 (13.5 or 13.6) something at 109 mph automatic
My manual Machs... 2003 Mach went 12.9 at 107 and 2004 Mach went 13.0 at 109.9... both had 4.10s and mid-pipe back exhaust with serious traction issues going into 2nd. All runs made on street tires.
Ryan (rygi) is running basement 12s at over 110 mph with 4.10s, ORX, cat-back, and SLICKS. I'll find his thread for exact ETS/Traps, but he is living proof that Machs do work.
FWIW, The auto Machs use a different stall on top of everything else, than the automatic New Edge GTs. Auto Machs run an 11.25" converter.

Ryan's (Rygi) passes in his mildly modded manual Mach. I was mistaken about the slicks, he is running DRs... https://mustangforums.com/forum/mach...ggestions.html
