Default What does a Mach 1 run in the 1/4?

Like the title says what does a Mach 1, preferably wanting to know about an auto, run in the 1/4 with say midpipe, catback, LCAs, gears, 100 shot and getting traction all the way down and cutting, just for this example, say a 2.0 60'...?

Well I found a few youtube videos and times on here that guys are running 12.7-13.1 with mild to full bolt ons. Not bad. Interesting to see what they can run with a 100 shot. Low 12s, high 11s with traction?

12.0s to 12.2s depending on air and track quality. Apples to apples, Machs are 6 to 7 tenths faster than GTs. Estimations, ofcourse.

MM&FF ran a 13.13 @ 105 mph in a factory stock 5 spd but I ran a 13.6 with a 2.3 60ft in mine so depends on weather or not he has the driver mod lol. Apperently I dont lol. I cant remember his screen name but there is a TR Mach auto on here that cut a 12.9 with similar mods without a 100 shot. keep in mind autos redline at 5800 rpm vs a 5 spd at 6850 rpm. Are you going to race him?

No I'm going to try and sell my GT and buy a Mach 1. Just learning about them performance wise so I know selling my GT for a Mach 1 would be an upgrade performance wise mod for mod.

Ya I'm leaning towards the auto because I am a straight line guy, no twisties. The only thing that is making me only 99.9% sure I want auto is the thought of spinning to 6800 rpm and running 4.56 gears out back. Man that would be fun

Fun....yes, fast....no. The steeper the gear, the lower the shiftpoint. Your enthusiasm is felt though.
