reason for going from an 03 mach 1 to a fox body?

and going 11.93 is pretty insane for just bolt ons. theres a guy here with the minor bolt ons, but no suspension work on his mach one, and he goes low 12s n/a and low to mid 11s on the bottle.

he is nowhere near the 114mph n/a though, like 108 i think.

114mph is just insane. ud have to have a factory freak to begin with, then itd have to respond extremely well to mods. because 114mph is roughly like 350rwhp required for that weight right? unless u did tons of weight reduction

I personally do not believe in factory freaks. it is all about the driver. the car puts similar power as other cars but runs half second faster and then some people say must be facotry freak. well, the power is the same, curve is the same, weight is the same.. lol.

no more factory freaks for me. if the car runs better than everyoneelse then you can drive (plus track prep, air, etc. effects also)

11 sec out of a N/A mach 1 is great. good driving man!

thanks doodad and s8er01z on the comments!

Its not too often people compliment me on my driving skills...thanks for bringing a dull day to a good one...its usually a "i dont believe you comment"

i have a real bad habit of buying cars, modding them with a personal goal, accomplish my goal, and sell the car and start off with a new project. My goal with the mach was to run 11's n/a on the stock block. Anyone with a mach 1 that needs some guidance or opinions on certain mods or what works...then send me a pm and i'll be glad to share what i did and how i drove the car to get there....the sad thing is, is that about 2 months after reaching my goal with the mach, i bought a ported lower intake. I re-tuned it (went from 313 rwhp to 335 rwhp) and went back to the track BUT on a 28 inch slick vs. the 26 inch slick i would always use...i ran a 12.0 BUT at 117 mph....the car launched but the nose came down REAL quick almost like a bogg...i swear that if i wouldve been on a 26 inch slick i wouldve ran better...i say maybe an 11.7....oh well,,,,i have the 90 gt now....and i'm going for a n/a 12 second et on the stock motor....

the reason for going from a mach to a 90 gt is because i have a new personal goal to meet...its an expensive hobby and maybe i will stay with the 90 since parts are EVERYWHERE!!

never knew there was a timeslip database here, but since it puts all the 0.00 1/4 mile ppl before the peopelt hat actually ran it, its kind of pointless for me.

i have 2 botched runs to pick from, 12.03 @ 118.5 or 12.11 @ 122.0
who is in charge of the list?

Maybe we can get them to make 2 different lists...one for 1/8th and the other for 1/4???

I just checked it out and it seems weird to have all these 0.00's everywhere....maybe even a lettercode that designates what mod we have...example A=cold air kit, B=pulleys, C=cat back, etc.

i completely agree that driver skill can shave half a second in et, but it cant give you a mph gain.only more power, or less weight can do that. (assuming same shifting points, and same weather conditions)
