Holy ***T
 

Just got my car back from the shop after complete suspension, chasis and rear end overhaul. What a difference!!

Suspension: BBK linear springs, new isolators, Tokiko Blues, Rear Steeda HD upper control arms, Stang Suspension spherical ball lowers, front CC Plates, urethane sway bar links and bushings, MM steering aluminum rack bushings.

Chassis: MM full length sub-frame connectors.

Rear end: FRPP 4:10 gears, FRPP 31 spline Cobra carbon fiber LSD and FRPP 31 spline axles.

Believe me, it feels like a new car, everything is what the DR. ordered. The 4:10 gears especially! I have a little drone at 70 mph, but nothing my stereo can't overcome.

I am going to get some new wheels and tires soon. I also plan on running it at the track in Epping NH this year, what do you think It's capable of? Low 13's, 12.90's?

What kind of wheels and tires you getting? Those springs are going to hurt your launch. Do you have any 1/4 baseline numbers? With street tires, I would say 13.4 at best if you can drive pretty good.

The springs are linear, and rated only 250 lbs more front and 50 lbs more in the rear. The upper and lower control arms along with my cobra diff have really improved my traction, I'm thinking about some 275, or 315's out back.

I see you ran a 12.95 with fewer mods than me, the only diff is some DR's, those are worth more than a 1/2 second? Don't think so.

He has better tires and a better track suspension.

I've seen stock Mach 1's run 13.4. I have at least as much power, and better suspension. My goal was to set my car up for a nice street / strip balance. I would love to see 12.90's but I guess I would settle for low 13's.....Until next year (cams & heads)

yea ill argue that, your not quite there as far as mach 1 hp. on street tires you should be good for a 13.5-13.6 with some DRs (not nittos) you should be good for a 13.0, maybe a 12.9 if you drive the piss out of it

You'll argue that? All I see in the background is a heavy Chevy and a rice burning crotch rocket. If you know your math, 273RWHP + 17% for drivetrain loss is more than what a stock Mach 1 has.

You need to stick with your "slowzuki" and "bowtie" forums...........Bye Bye now.

theres really no need for name calling. He can have an opinion too cant he? or is this a dictatorship?

I was gonna say congrats, but your rudness has forced me to do otherwise.

I'm not positive but I think knows a little bit more than you're giving him credit for. And I think It's one thing to be crass to teach a lesson to noobs that are in the wrong, BUT to be a brat because someone doesn't think the same way you do is childish. I'd rather have a thousand heavy Chevy's here than one loud punk mustang owner.

Tone it down or you're not going to get any respect here.



(Besides the more chevy's are here the more future mustang owners we'll have)

17% is a bit much for a 5 speed.. its closer to 13%.. yeah im a nerd but whatever.

I think you have 12.9s, maybe better depending on your track and driving ability.

Perhaps not the first time out but i forsee you hitting 12s at some point with your current mods.

but anyway back to the first part. if you make 273whp... why are you calculating drivetrain loss if you already know what you make to the wheels?'

i see you're trying to calculate your crank hp but uhh you don't have another 17% @ the crank lol.

I'm glad your car tuned out so great. I think the tokikos and springs are going to keep you out of the 12's definitely. I've had tokikos and they responded better for autox than for DR. I think you'll be around the 13.4's with drag radials. I hope i'm wrong and it does better than i think, g/l and congrats.

Hmmmm...i have to agree with the guys. Low 13s MAYBE 12.9...if you can REALLY drive.

But don't dis the chevy guys...some of them are pretty damn fast lol. And that crotch rocket is no "slowzuki" haha. Def need to learn to listen to ppls opinions or you won't make it too long on here.

you should be able to get 12's for sure if you have that to the wheels. with your rear and some nice tires you can launch the hell out of it.

wow, let me just say this. I usually don't try to bust peoples b@lls too often but why would you come on here and ask for opinions and when someone gives it to you, you try to argue them down?

For you to talk down to DVS Z28 about his 'slowzuki' tells me that you have zero track experience. If you've even been to the track (and payed attention) you'd know that that 'slowzuki' would pull the paint off your car and leave it a rusted piece of scrap metal, no matter what size it is. which BTW I'm sure my last statement will end up being quoted in someones sig, b/c it's so true!Looking at his mod list of his Z28, tells me that he has a solid 10 second capable car, something that your car is nowhere near!

I'm glad you like your car and what you've done to it, but there is no need to come on here trying to start crap.

+1000.by the way how do you quote someone on your sig?i got dibs.

quote as you normally do, delete what you don't what, then copy & paste.

i hit 12.9 maybe 3 times with my set up no nitrous, so you should deff hit 12's with yours

but its all up to if you can drive or not, i always see 15's and up at the track from mustangs simply because the guy cant drive. so go run it and well all be able to tell how good of a driver you are.

shhh... my "slowzuki" is slow:D

haha, im the same way. normally im the one taking up for the guy gettin picked on. i guess OP is just pissed he has more money in his car and stil runs over a 1.5 seconds slower than my lil ls1. :D

oh and my car is faster than my bike mid 11s off the spray with a crappy 60'. but i guess my car will never be as fast as OPs car bolt on 2v:(

but like i said before, 12s if he gets some sticky tires and drives the piss out of it. mid 13s on nittos/street tires

OP, you are probably around 11% or less drivetrain loss with ur 5spd and alum driveshaft (if I read that right). I'm surprised no one mentioned his hp/mods. seems a bit high if you ask me.
dvs - gsxr 750 or 600? I can't tell from the pic. I had an 05gsx-r 750 and ran a 11.9 pulling a 2.4 60ft (didn't feel like ruining my clutch, it was stock)
I also ran a 12.3 or so with my 99 cbr 600. What'cha runnin at with urs?

i think 12-13% is a lil more accurate but either way his hp does seem high. 280+hp is more for the cammed 2vs, but hey i just own a chevy so what do i know:D

its a bolt on 07 600cc. i havent made it out to the 1/4 but 1/8 mile was like 7.1 or 7.2 i think? my first time at the track so its definitely got more in it. im a much better rider now considering that was when it was bone stock and over a year ago.

Done :D.

haha...i like :D

I feel special :D

Then please don't hold a knife near your chest while you get excited. :D

I agree 100% , really high with no cams.

Dont be a Douche , He was simply throwing in his opinion. Even tho he has a WackMaro :cool: He will dust you so bad you will be sharting out mud pies for a year and plus he seems like a stand up guy from what I read. But back to the topic congrats on the setup and post the slip when you go. Im sure youll reach 12s if you practice.

what a dick... you should be low 13's. my friend has 4.10's, lowering springs, and nitto's and ran a 13.4 sooo you should be good for at least that.

I remember when I had my first beer...

maybe he was drunk?

you are special......










short bus special.........



op your an idiot... take your punk ass back to your local ricer spot..... the camaro and bike would wax your ass

lest try to get back on topic. :D

i resent that statement, its a "slow"maro, get it right :D haha

now back to our original programming

What part of "i got dibs" didnt you understand?
Ill wait for a better one.

well there not really that slow but they are ugly as hell. :D

that hurts :D

I hate this thread.
