Default Ran the Mach for the first time ever... RESULTS!

And they are full of fail.

My first run... a 14.7 We won't talk about that though LOL

Second Run
Opponent: Procharged 05-09 GT (Final: 12.0548)
RT: 66.34
60': 2.3955
Final: 14.0339 @ 101.60 MPH

I swear on my life I was slowly creeping on him near the end.

Third Run
Opponent: Civic.. don't know what kind (Final: 10.8898)
RT: .4314
60': 2.3630
Final: 14.0721 @ 101.97 MPH

Fourth Run
Opponent: 2007 Shelby GT500 (Final: 14.5661)
RT: .4248
60': 2.2973
Final: 14.0801 @ 104.31 MPH

This guy was real cool. One of the cars racing before us leaked antifreeze so we started talking and gave me some pointers. His first time racing the Snake. He races his Cuda.

Fifth Run
Opponent: Dodge Ram
RT: .4684
60': 2.2762
Final: 13.8945 @ 103.16


Though I did terrible, it was so much fun. The adrenaline rush... holy ****! My heart was pumping wildly and I was breathing so hard when I first went up. I wasn't worried about my reaction time, hence why it's so high. I was just tinkering with different ways to launch. My first 3 runs were around the water box, no burnout at all, and no revving. On the last 2 runs, I went into the box and did a small burnout... though I didn't do them very good either. I also revved it up a little bit on the last 2 runs.

It was a learning experience. I baby my car when I drive her around so this was really my first time mashing through the gears. It was so much fun though and it's awesome being around people with a common interest - American muscle and ricers alike.

I think my main thing is just learning to feel the car and how to launch it. I wasn't shifting my hardest either - I was just making sure I put it into gear every time. I'll tell you one thing... 4.10s are full of win.

These are my "go-fast" mods BTW:

- Magnapacks
- VRS O/R x-pipe
- JLT rai
- PHP intake spacer
- 275/35/18 Vredesteins
- FRPP 4.10s

Not sure exactly. I think possibly some sort of swapped engine and a decent sized turbo? I don't remember.

LOL no. There were no ricers at the track who ran. Bunch of souped up Hondas though. Those little ****ers are quick when built right.

Practice makes perfect, As long as you had fun. Only if more people would see how fun it is going to the track and stop racing on the street and killin people.

That's exactly why I don't drive the car hard on the street

Mashing through the gears though... SO MUCH FUN! I've never felt anything like it before until last night. She definitely has some ***** to her that's for sure (no transexual).

Yeah... it was his first time driving it down the track. The thing only had 3,000 miles on it I believe he said. He was definitely sneaking up behind me at the end haha.
